Chapter five: A dance in the moonlight
Sirius was sitting on the ledge of the astronomy tower. He was gazing at the phased moon and the twinkling stars surrounding it. He wondered when Remus would come to him. When his friend would come and yell at him for his horrible act. Ignoring the frequent hunger spasms in this stomach, he continued to gaze miserably at the sky.
There was no way Remus could love him now. It just wasn't possible. How could you love someone who had betrayed your most inner secret? Sirius was still wondering what had made him do it. How could Snape's taunts drive him to such lengths? Sirius knew that he had felt jealous. Snape was not supposed to look at Remus in that way. He sighed.
"How long have you been up here?"
Sirius felt his breath hitch. This was it. Remus had come to tell him that he hated him. Even though Remus' voice was soft, Sirius steeled himself for the blow. He turned around.
"Since last night . . . " He replied, breaking off hesitantly.
Remus merely gazed at him. Sirius searched his face for anger or resentment but could not find it. It was as if Remus was studying him in the same way. He was surprised when Remus stepped forward, holding out a hand.
"Dance with me." Remus said simply.
"What?" Sirius asked, hardly daring to believe.
"I want you to dance with me." Remus repeated.
"There's no music." Sirius said, immediately cursing himself for saying such a stupid thing.
"We have what we need. Two bodies." Remus replied in an amused tone.
Sirius stepped forward and took his hand. Remus pulled him closer and the two began a slow circle. Sirius glanced down at the shorter boy and felt his heart melt.
"Why aren't you mad at me, Remus?" He asked, unable to hold in the question.
"I was. But then I realized that you're just a great prat and you didn't mean it."
Sirius laughed a little. "I guess I deserved that."
"You also deserve this."
Sirius was caught off guard by Remus leaning up and capturing his lips. Soon after he relaxed and the two shared the gentle kiss in the light moonlit glow. They broke apart a few minutes later.
"I love you." Remus told him.
"Why am I so lucky?" Sirius asked. "Why does such a forgiving, beautiful person love a great prat like me?"
Remus laughed. "I guess it's mainly because you're so good looking." He teased.
"I love you too." Sirius said. "And I didn't realize you were so shallow Moony."
"I guess there is lots you have left to discover about this certain werewolf, Padfoot."
