Summary: S/R slash, AU. Sirius meets Remus in France a few days before he has to go back home. At the start of his senior year, they recieve a new student, whom everyone wants to get to know. A story from the time Sirius and Remus meet, to their high school graduation, and everything in the middle.
Warnings: Slash, some violence, usage of profane language, and some OOC-ness. Rating may go up.
AN: I finally got up the courage to write a Sirius/Remus story! I'm so proud of my first chapter. It's not exactly the best, and it doesn't really make sense, but I like it in an odd kinda way...Sorta..Also, I do NOT speak French, and I got the information from a friend who supposedly took a French class. Feel free to correct me if I've typed something in wrong.

"I want you all back here no later than 10 o' clock this evening. Is that clear?"
"Crystal." A group of 3 people chorused at the same time. The Blacks were visiting France this summer. They had already been there over a week, and this was the first time that anybody was able to go off alone. Everyone scattered, heading off in opposite directions.
Sirius sighed as he meandered through the streets. He had absolutely no idea where he was. Sure, he had been here for at least a week, but just because he had been touring, doesn't mean he paid attention to where he was. He saw a few shops, none of them interesting him greatly. He didn't notice that someone was walking right in front of him, or that the person was going the opposite direction as him. He did notice, however, when he had bumped into someone, sending them to the ground, along with papers and books of sorts.
The tall boy immediately started picking up books and papers, throwing them into a pile. "I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going!" Sirius babbled as he continued to help the other boy pick up his belongings.
"C'est bien." The other boy said in a quiet tone.
The raven-haired boy had a confused look on his face as he looked at the other boy, wondering what he had just said.
"Vous ne parlez pas le Francias?" The boy said, making Sirius even more confused. A quiet sigh came from the smaller of the two and he picked up his stack of books and papers. "I guess not."
Sirius grinned at hearing the other man say something he actually understood. He examined the other boy more closely. He was a few inches smaller than Sirius, and had slightly shaggy tawny-colored hair. His eyes were his most marvelous features. They were a soft honey color, a color Sirius had never seen in anyones eyes before.
The boy coughed to get Sirius' attention and held out his hand. "Remus Lupin"
A tan hand reached out to grab and shake that pale one that had been placed before it. "Sirius Black. It's nice to meet you." Remus gave him a shy smile and shifted the weight of his books and papers to his other arm.
"Here let me help." Sirius said as he held out two hands to grab a few of the books stacked at the top of the pile Remus was carrying.
"No. It's quite al--" Remus was already relieved of the weight that the other objects brought. He gave a soft sigh and looked up at Sirius who was grinning.
The expression on the taller boys face went from happy to thoughtful. "Hey, you live here, right?" When Remus gave a short nod, Sirius continued. "Great! Then you can show me around! I wanna go to a shop or something. Just wanna look around. Can you take me?"
At the thought of being a tour guide, Remus frowned. He had to do that enough at school, shouldn't he get a break during the summer at least? But then again, what was the worst that could happen? He would just show Sirius for around awhile, drop him off, and then never see him again.
"Alright. I just have to drop these off at my house."
It hadn't taken long for the tawny-haired boy to drop off his belongings, Sirius following him the whole time. They looked around at a few shops, Sirius utterly amazed at the things he found. It surprised Remus that the other boy hadn't bought anything. They just walked around for a while, not really talking or doing much, just walking.
It had gotten dark, the stars shining in the night sky for hours before the boys sat on a small bench, sipping the drinks they had bought earlier. Sirius turned so that his upper body was facing Remus and looked at him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Hmm...Tell me about yourself Remus"
The other boy stared at Sirius for a moment, wondering why he wanted to know about him. He looked down at the cement beneath them and thought about what information he could tell the other. There wasn't much to know.
"Well," remus started. "My name is Remus John Lupin. I'm...um...I'm seventeen. I'll be graduating this year. Well, there isn't much else I suppose," he finished off lamely.
Sirius stared at him, mouth open slightly. Then he jumped up a little, scaring Remus as the smaller boy jumped up and fell back down onto the bench.
"'There isn't much else'? How can you say that? I bet you there's lot's to know about you! Hmm...Let's see," Sirius scratched his scalp before an idea struck him. "I know! What is your favorite color?"
Raising an eyebrow, remus wondered what kind of a question that was, but went along with it anyways.
"Green."
"Food?"
"Does chocolate count?"
"You bet. Flower?"
"What? Uh, daffodils?"
"What about author? If you have one."
"Oh! I like that question! Hmm...I don't know. Alexandre Dumas maybe?"
"Never heard of him. Pet peeve?"
"When people chew with their mouths open. It's disgusting!"
Sirius ended his interrogation by laughing. Remus didn't really see the humor in something so gross, so he just stared at Sirius, confused. When Sirius finally did stop laughing, an awkward silence settled over the two. It had turned out to be an interesting day for both of them. Remus didn't think that he would get along with Sirius, seeing as he was always alone, nobody ever bothering to talk to him. However, the other boy had intrigued him, and now he wanted to get to know the other boy.
"Hey, what about you?" Remus asked, attention completely on the raven-haired man. Sirius looked up, not quite getting what Remus meant.
"What about me?"
"I want to get to know you too."
"Oh. Well, let's see..." They sat there in, yet again, more silence as Sirius picked out in his mind what he would tell Remus.
The other boy sighed and lifted his wrist up to look at his watch. He looked at the time and quickly rolled his eyes. It was late already!
"Come on, it's fifteen past ten!"
At this, Sirius' head snapped up. He looked at Remus in pure horror. It couldn't be that late already! His mom would surely kill him. When she told them she wanted them back, you made sure you got there when she wanted you, or else. He quickly jumped up and off the bench, Remus following suite.
"What's wrong, Sirius?"
"I'm late! I have to go. I'm sorry! Thank you for everything! I had fun! Hopefully we'll see eachother again! Bye!" Sirius ran as fast as his legs would allow him in the opposite direction.
Remus instinctively held his arm out, looking as though he was trying to grab something. "Goodbye..." Sirius was just a small little blur by the time Remus managed to say anything. He really hoped he saw Sirius again, but what were the odds? Sirius obviously wasn't from France. He did, however, have an english accent, so Remus could only assume he was from England or somewhere around there.
Was it possible that Sirius went to...? 'No,' Remus thought. 'That would be too good of a thing to happen to me.'
