Love, by Accident: Falling Back Together

"Anyone else want cocoa?" Lucius asked, walking out of the kitchen holding a teacup with hot chocolate in it.

Remus looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"Right then," he murmured, taking a seat across from Sirius on the couch. "So, it must get bloody lonely around here without Harry and without the two of you talking." Both Sirius and Remus glared at the elder Malfoy. "Erm, well I think I'll go check on Buckbeak then." And he sauntered up the stairs, muttering something about girls and mood swings.

Remus shifted uncomfortably by the door to the kitchen, Sirius looked up at him. "Are we going to sodding talk about this, or just keep pretending like we hate each other?"

Lupin sighed and sat on the couch. "What's there to say?"

"Tell me why you dated Tonks, last I heard you were gay." Sirius snapped.

"I told you already, it just bloody happened. After Narcissa-"

"Narcissa Malfoy!?"

"Er, yes, but that was-"

"I don't want to hear it."

"You're the one who wanted to work through this!" Remus yelled. "Now listen to me! I was assigned to get close to Narcissa Malfoy in order to obtain information about Lucius, to make sure he had come to us in all sincerity. I did not willingly do that. But with Tonks...Sirius," he looked at the other man. "I wasn't going to spend the rest of my life alone, sadly mourning your death. So I tried to move on, and I understand that it wasn't right of me...but how was I supposed to know you were alive?"

"There were people that could have told you, hell, Lucius knew, why didn't you ask him!?"

"Sirius-"

"You could have gotten Arthur to look into it. Merlin, Remus, there were so many places to turn. Not to Tonks." He was on his feet screaming now.

"I'm sorry! How many times do I have to tell you that!? I loved you the way I thought wasn't possible, the way I'd loved no one else, and knew I would never love anyone like that again. And then all of a sudden you were gone, I lost you once before, but this...they told me you were dead and I had no other choice but to believe them. Just like when they told me you killed all those muggles, and Peter. What else could I have done!?

"I spent so many nights alone, just lying in an empty bed, wishing you were there, or wishing I was wherever you were. I watched Harry fall to pieces that summer, I watched as he lost his friends, and I didn't even know why, until now. Is this the kind of example we want to set for him? Look at us Sirius, we swore we would never be like this."

"Be like what!?" Sirius yelled. "In a fight? Upset? What Remus?"

"Apart." The werewolf muttered.

Sirius froze.

"I guess you forgot." He walked into the kitchen, leaving Sirius behind him. "Oh Merlin," he whispered, gripping the edge of the sink for balance.

"Remus?" There was a crash in the kitchen and Sirius jumped up from where he'd been sitting, his former lover's words ringing in his head. "Remus?" He repeated walking in to find the werewolf sprawled on the floor. "Remus!" he cried rushing over to him. The other man was barley conscious. "Mooney, listen to me, can you hear me? Mooney!"

But he was gone.

"Wake up!" Sirius screamed desperately. "If you die on me, I'll never forgive you, do you hear me? Remus!"

He carried Lupin into the den and laid him on a couch. "Damnit, Lucius!" he yelled up the stairs.

A few minutes later the longhaired blonde sauntered in. "Yes?"

"Don't bloody yes me, help!" He commanded.

Lucius looked confused for a minute then spotted Remus on the couch. "You killed him!?" He stated, shocked.

"I did not kill him-"

"When I left I thought you would work things out but-"

"MALFOY! I did not kill him, he's hurt, and I need you to help me get him awake."

"Oh, well, why didn't you say that?"

"Just make a bloody healing potion."

Lucius took out his wand and went into the kitchen.

"Remus if you come out of this I swear we'll never fight again," he was sobbing, holding the wolf in his arms.

Lucius returned with the potion and gave it to Remus. "So what did happen?" He asked while they waited for him to stir.

"I don't know, one minute he's telling me that we weren't supposed to be apart and the next he's on the kitchen floor." Sirius sighed and rested his head on Remus' chest.

"What were you doing upstairs anyway?"

"Trying to telepathically kill Buckbeack."

Sirius laughed.

"I'm serious."

Remus stirred then. Sirius shot up, and Lucius got up. "I'll be around if you need me," he said then wandered off.

"Mooney?" Sirius whispered as Remus opened his eyes.

"Mmm?" Was the reply.

"Oh thank Merlin," he hugged Remus as he tried to sit up. "What happened?"

Lupin's head spun, "I've been getting these dizzy spells for a few days, I guess it has to do with not taking my potion and-"

"You what?"

"I haven't been taking my potion, to control, you know, the wolf."

"What!? Why?" Sirius yelled.

Remus moaned, his head aching. "Well I've not had the time really, it just slipped my mind Sirius, I'm sorry. I've been trying to figure things out really."

Sirius calmed down, "No Remus, I'm sorry. I haven't exactly made things the easiest for you."

"Sirius?"

"Yes?"

"Can we just stop fighting, and be, you know, together again?"

Sirius smiled, "Yes," he leaned in and kissed the other man.

Remus pulled him onto the couch and they kissed, making up for several months of being apart, and a few very hostile days.

"Ahem," Tonks coughed from the doorway.

Remus and Sirius looked up to find Tonks standing in the doorway next to a tall woman, with long raven-hair, and dark purple eyes.

"Evening boys," she smiled.

"No sodding way!" Sirius stood up.

Her smiled widened and Tonks smiled as well.

"Rayne?" Remus asked. "Rayne bloody Potter?"

"In the flesh."

"What are you doing here?" Sirius walked over and hugged her.

"We're looking for my nephew actually." Rayne said heading into the living room and kissing Remus on the cheek.

"He just went back to school." The werewolf told her.

"Well we need to get him back here," Tonks spoke, "And Dumbledore as well."

"Why? What's going on?" Sirius asked panicked.

"Voldemort," Rayne muttered. "He has the Dementors, and all the criminals in Azkaban. Sirius, Remus, we have a war on our hands, and we need Harry to save us all."
