Ok this is the third time I've put this story up! Hopefully there will be no problems this time! And thanks again to Elizabeth Catherine Snyder for pointing out the problem!

Summary: When Remus comes out of the closet, Sirius decides to help his friend by setting him up. The only problem is...Sirius realizes he's in love with Remus!

I hope you like it! But if you don't like gayness you probably don't want to read it.

Chapter 1

"Come on Moony, He's not going to bite!" Sirius said as they slowly made there way to the library. "If you don't hurry, he'll have left already!"

"I can't do this!" Remus said stopping in his tracks. "Are you sure he's gay? Imagine how embarrassing it would be if I were hitting on him and...well he's not hitting back!"

"Remus," Sirius said walking over to him and placing a hand on his shoulder. "The boy, has a picture of Colin Boles under his pillow! He's gay!" Remus thought about this for a moment and nodded. (Colin Boles is a pretty boy Quiddich player.) Sirius took a deep breath and turned away from him. He'd never realized just how blue Remus' eyes are.

They didn't speak the rest of the way to the library. Sirius kept glancing at Remus who was fidgeting with his robes. When they reached the threshold of the library, a small group of Ravenclaw 2nd years emerged, leaving it almost deserted. With the Christmas dance approaching, none of the professors had given them much homework. So there wasn't much reason for anyone to be in there.

Remus was happy about this; he didn't really want a crowd around. Remus looked nervously around and his heart sank when he didn't see who they were looking for. He turned to leave but Sirius took his arm.

"Don't give up so easily." Sirius said, "Over here." He began dragging Remus behind the nearest bookcase. They zigzagged though a few more bookcases to the very back of the room. Soon they where behind a bookcase which overlooked a lone table in the far corner of the library.

They peeked between the rows of books and sitting alone at the table was a shy looking 7th year. He was carelessly flipping through the Daily Prophet, occasionally tucking his raven coloured hair behind his ears, as it kept falling in his eyes.

Sirius looked around at Remus, who was looking at the boy affectionately. For a fleeting moment Sirius wished Remus would look at him like that. He scowled and shook the thought out of his head.

"He's waiting for you." Sirius said a little breathlessly. Only a month before Remus had come out of the closet. Only weeks ago Remus had told Sirius and the other Marauder's of his crush on Simon. Ever since Sirius and James have been chasing this boy around to help there shy friend Remus. Simon is a year ahead of them and the only other boy in Griffindor who is gay...

"I don't know what to say!" Remus said desperately, turning toward Sirius looking uneasy.

Before Sirius realized what he was doing he took a step closer to Remus. Sirius felt his warm breath on his lips. He had a strange urge to kiss him. It was odd! I'm not gay!...or am I? Just then someone in the next row dropped a book with a heavy thud, bringing him back to his senses. He quickly stepped back. Not even looking at Remus in fear of what he must now be thinking.

"Just be yourself," Sirius said, looking down at his feet. Without another word, he turned and left, leaving Remus alone and confused about what had just happened.

"Remus?..." Simon Asked, as he stepped into the aisle. Remus jumped, he hadn't noticed Simon had gotten up. "Sorry mate. Didn't mean to startle you." He chuckled.

"Don't worry about it." Remus said smiling shyly.

Sirius sat alone in the common room, deep in thought. He stared fixated at the fire. Peter had given up trying to talk to him and went up to there dormitory.

It was hours after he had left Remus in the library. He hadn't returned yet, and students where leaving the common room for bed. He wanted to know what had gone on with Remus and Simon. Of chores he wanted the best for his friend...but...

Just then James came bounding into the common room. When he spotted Sirius he went and jumped into the chair next to him.

"Guess what!" He said excitedly, pulling two butterbeers from inside his robes and handing Sirius one. "Lily said she'd be my date at the dance!"

"That's great!" Sirius smiled. "But you're still not together?

"Nope," James said, sipping his butterbeer. "Something about not being mature enough yet!" He laughed and rolled his eyes as if the very thought of him being immature was absurd. Sirius laughed too, and wondered if Remus thought him immature..."What is wrong with me!" He thought frantically, "What does it matter if Remus thought him immature!"

"Yeah! I meet up with her in..." His voice trailed off, when he noticed Sirius seemed distracted. "You alright?"

"Yeah...I'm Fine." Sirius lied.

"Where's Remus?"

"With Simon." Sirius sighed, "I finally got them talking." To keep from looking at James he took a huge sip of butterbeer. "If he doesn't duck out he's going to ask him to the dance."

When James didn't reply he looked up. James was looking at his suspiciously, then shook his head as if shaking a thought out. Then he opened his mouth to say something when the portrait hole opened. Remus and Simon walked in...hand in hand!

Sirius' mouth fell open and James jumped up and ran over to congratulate them. Sirius sat for a moment and rose slowly from his chair. He didn't know whether he was happy for them or wanted to punch Simon in his pretty boy face.

When Remus looked up at him, he quickly threw on a smile. "This is great!" He said walking over to them. He talked with them for a while and knew Remus saw right though his fake cheerfulness. Before anyone else figured it out he thought it best he left. "I'm going to go find wormtail." He said, and slowly made his way to the boys dormitory.
