Thank you to everyone who reviewed, I really appreciate it! Originally I wasn't going to make this into more than one chapter, but for some reason I decided to do a second chapter because I do love Sirius and Remus oh so very much! So anyway, here is chapter number two. Tell me what you think.

*

Sirius awoke in a dark room. The heavy curtains were closed but he could see through a small gap in them that the sun was out. His body fought against his head as he thought about getting up, he was so warm and comfortable. Remus must have put him in this bed. Last night was one of the first real sleeps he ever had, although he was sure that he must have passed out before he was put here, because he couldn't really remember much after getting into the back garden with Remus.

After battling with his legs, Sirius finally got up and out of bed. He chuckled to himself as he looked downwards. Remus had dressed him in pyjamas as well, very stripy, very un-Sirius like pyjamas.

He opened the door to the bedroom and stepped out into the hall. He didn't recognise the house. He looked around and saw the walls of the hallway covered in old-fashioned wallpaper. It was brown and starting to peel off of the walls. As he walked along the carpeted floor he quickly glanced into every room he passed. Another bedroom. The bathroom. He then came to the living room and took a couple of steps into it. It was quite nice. It looked like the only room that had been recently decorated. There was a huge blue sofa covered in cushions. The walls were light green and there was a big rug covering up shiny floorboards in the middle of the room. On it stood a coffee table with a large pile of tottering books.

He heard a sound from behind a door at the back of the living room. He made his way across it and opened the door. He had stepped into the kitchen. He took a quick look around. There was a small table with four chairs around the edge. Over in the corner was a huge bookshelf with what seemed like thousands of different books. Remus did always like reading. He turned to look towards the sink and found Remus there, staring at him with a small smile on his face.

"Morning." Said Sirius, returning the smile.

"Morning." Said Remus "How are you feeling? You passed out before I could get you into the house last night."

"Oh I thought I did!" said Sirius "Yeah I feel fine now thanks. How about you? Are you ok after what happened last night?"

"Yeah I'm perfectly ok," Said Remus waving a hand unnecessarily "I was more worried about you, but you look ok."

"Yeah. Oh, nice pyjamas by the way!" Said Sirius sarcastically.

"Well, they were the first ones I could find! I couldn't keep you in those robes you had on, they were filthy!" said Remus shrugging his shoulders, a smile on his face again.

"Oh well thank you for looking after me, mummy Moony!" Sirius said, batting his eyelashes.

Remus laughed. "Do you want any breakfast? I don't really have much, just cereal."

"Cereal will be great thanks." Said Sirius, suddenly realising that he was very hungry and was willing to eat anything other than rats.

Remus chuckled as he and Sirius sat down. He handed a large bowl of corn flakes and the milk bottle to the other man and placed another bowl in front of himself.

They sat in silence for a few minutes, Remus watched Sirius eat his bowl of cereal very quickly. It was quite comical to watch, but Remus also had an intense feeling of sorrow for Sirius. He wondered how long it had been since he had had a proper meal. Probably not long ago actually, he had only been to Hogwarts in secret yesterday. But still, how long had he been without a meal before that? Remus made a pact to himself, he was going to fatten Sirius up, and God knows he needs it.

Remus went back to his own bowl and ate steadily. His spoon fell into the bowl with a small clatter as he swallowed his last mouthful and he looked up to see Sirius staring at him, a glazed expression on his face.

"I missed you so much." Said Sirius finally, in a small voice.

"I missed you too Padfoot." Remus whispered back. To say it any louder seemed unnecessary, only Sirius needed to hear this.

"I would say that I thought about you a lot in Azkaban, but I wasn't allowed one happy thought when I was stuck in that place." Said Sirius, bitterness in his voice as he said the last part.

"I know."

"But when I got out, after I saw you again in the Shrieking Shack, after I escaped, I thought about you a lot," said Sirius "a hell of a lot. I only ever thought about two things. You and Harry."

"I thought about you a lot when I saw you." Admitted Remus "I didn't think I was ever going to see you again though, once you left on the Hippogriff."

"I knew I would come back, I had to come back. I didn't want to be apart from everyone. I wanted to be here, to help. To help Harry. To see you." Said Sirius.

"Didn't you ever think that you would get caught again?" Asked Remus.

"I told myself that I was never going to go back there. I would never survive that again." Said Sirius, he gave a slight shudder.

"Is it horrible there?" Asked Remus carefully.

Sirius didn't answer at once. He picked up his and Remus's bowl and took them to the sink. Remus turned around to watch Sirius, waiting for an answer. He didn't really expect an answer really though. How could Sirius talk about something so terrible? Remus turned back around to the table; he didn't know what to say.

Then Sirius spoke. Turning around and looking to Remus he said, "It's the most terrifying place I've ever been in my life, Moony. I would never wish it upon anybody to have to go there. There are only a few people who really do deserve to go in there. Some of them are already there, some of them aren't."

Remus looked up at Sirius, staring into his eyes, his face etched with sympathy. He had no idea how the last twelve years had been for Sirius. No idea at all. He had never known Sirius to admit that he was scared.

Remus stood up to look at Sirius closely. He tried to get the other man to look at him, but Sirius was avoiding his eyes.

"Sirius…"

"I really don't want to talk about Azkaban, Remus…I never want to even think of that place ever again." Said Sirius flatly.

"Ok, we don't have to talk about it…it's just that…I'm not sure if I even know you anymore Sirius." Remus took a slow breath "And you probably don't know me. We've been apart for too long. I've never known you to admit fear, you've changed. I've changed."

"What are you talking about Moony? I know you better than I know anybody. You can't tell me that I don't know you!" Said Sirius, he didn't like where this was heading.

"You knew me before you went to Azkaban, Sirius! You knew me twelve years ago! Yes, we knew each other better than anybody, but that was then, that was in the past. We don't know each other now!" Said Remus, trying to explain how he felt to Sirius.

"Then let me get to know you again, Remus. Tell me anything about you…everything. I want to know everything. I'll tell you everything about me, whatever you want to know!" said Sirius, getting desperate. "I want to know you as well as I knew you back then, and I want you to know me just as well."

"I want that too. But this isn't going to happen overnight remember." Said Remus "Twelve years is a long time, we've got a lot of catching up to do Sirius…"
