Waaah! I'm so sorry, school was a real pain! Alas, I am free from it's confines for the next couple months so I'm here to write! (Hopefully I'll not be slacking off any and get some work done....)

Remus woke up, feeling all eyes to him. He blinked weakly and moved away from Sirius slowly, clueless. It appeared they were all amused, except for Sirius who had his head ducked.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" He inquired hesitantly, frowning. Ives winked devilishly at him and caused him to blush for no reason.
"I didn't know you were so fond of Sirius, eh Remmy?" He waggled his eyebrows some and laughs when Remus gave him a look of surprise and embarassment. Sirius shrank down lower into the carpet.
"W-what? No... I didn't... what are you talking about?" Remus babbled, his ears turning pink to match his face. Ives laughed, causing James to follow suit. Lily arrived from the bathroom a moment later, looking confused.
"What did you three do? Hm? I'll not have you picking on Remus..." She smiled warmly at him and turned to Sirius. "You on the other hand, they can pick on you... mighty hard not to."
Sirius gaped at her, standing up clumbsily. Wasn't Lily telling James and Peter off for teasing him the other day?
"Oh Lily! I thought you loved me!" He sniffed unhappily but chose to ignore them all, instead glancing at Remus. Or rather, where Remus had been. "Jeeze, disappeared!"
Lily laughed heartfully.
"He walked out of the room, Sirius." She said calmly. "Went to tidy up, I'm sure... as should you." Scowling at his state she sighed loudly. "For someone who barely touched a drink, you sure look a state of...."
"Yeah, yeah." Sirius muttered. "Then I'll go home... bitch-slap Regulus -because I KNOW he did something wrong!- and then take a shower.... try and relax and all that bit."
James and Ives gave muffled laughs.
"Poor Siri-poo..." Ives cooed.
"Are you going to have bags under your eyes, hunny?" James followed dutifully. "Should I postpone the next trip?"
Sirius scowled at him, unamused.
"Leave me behind and die." I know that's what he was getting at... the bloody prat. Any excuse to leave me behind is a good excuse blah blah blah...
James stared at him, somewhat surprised at his friend's perceptive response but didn't say anything. Sirius looked around again, hoping to catch sight of Remus and sighed.
"Yeah, well, see you guys later... tell Remus I said bye." He said, exiting the house. He wasn't looking forward to going home and he wondered how much stuff Regulus pawned.
Bloody prat, I'll fucking murder him...
He climbed onto his bike, strapping on his helmet thoughtlessly and headed home. His ride wasn't as near-fatal as the one to Ives's place but it wasn't completely illegal-free. He managed one ticked for speeding and decided he would be able to pay for it no problem. He opened the door, which was unlocked and stepped warily into his house and nearly dropped his helmet in surprise and, later, anger.
Regulus was on the floor, leaning against his favourite armchair with beer bottles and cans littering the area. Ontop of him was a not so slim woman rubbing against him and cooing drunkenly. His radio was skipping, and to add to the rage, it was his newest cd that was doing so. More people littered the ground and furniture and barely moved.
Oh my Gods... He thought, crushing the visor of his helmet in his fist.
"REGULUS!" He snarled viciously, already heading towards his younger brother.
This alerted Regulus of his immediate peril quite fast. The young man pushed the girl off and scurried out of the way. He was obviously in Sirius's war-path, and didn't like it at all. Staggering into the kitchen, Regulus headed for the backdoor and opened it...only to be ripped backwards and pushed violently onto his backside.
"You...." Sirius towered over him, baring his fang-like teeth. "YOU WERE LUCKY I TOOK YOU IN AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME?! GET OUT! GET ALL YOUR SLEEZY FRIENDS OUT OF MY HOUSE!" He vented. "And if I find out you stole or sold something I'll come after you and make you regret it."
Regulus nodded dumbly and headed back into the livingroom, helping his "friends" out of the house. Sirius didn't like the sharp crash he heard and went into the living room. Regulus was sitting in the broken remains of his antique coffee table.
"Oh my fucking....dead." He said monotone. "Worse than dead." Sirius said and lunged at him, cracking his fist against the other's jaw. He put his knees on Regulus's shoulders and slammed his fist down against his nose. "You. know. who gave this to me!?" He growled. "ANDROMEDA! SHE GAVE ME THIS FUCKING TABLE AND YOU FUCKING BREAK IT?!"
In the small moment of silence, Sirius heard a weak cough. He averted his attention to the door and his eyes widened in horror when he saw Remus standing there... holding his wallet and license.
"I'm... ah...." Remus put the items on the arm of the couch quickly and leapt out of the house in fright.
Sirius stared down at his brother, whom was mewling in pain... splurting blood from his nose with each breath. Then it dawned on him...
Remus witnessed his rather... violent act and Sirius knew the other man was going to be terrified and different around him.
"SHIT!" He cursed. Yes, hard liquor was going to be quite nice right now. He cursed his temper and headed back into the kitchen.
