REMUS

I walked up the spiral staircase towards the Astronomy Tower. That night was cold, and I wrapped my cloak tightly around myself as I opened the wooden door. My eyes met Sirius's and his looked like he was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" I asked softly. Sirius looked down at me.

"Nowhere," was his reply and he stepped away from the door. I stepped inside and closed the door.

"Okay, what did you want to tell me?" I questioned.

"Oh, um..." Sirius actually seemed very nervous. "Remus, I..."

"You...?" I asked.

"W-well, I-I..." he trailed off, staring into my eyes. His breath was caught in his throat and so was mine. We stared into each other's eyes for awhile, until he cleared his throat. "Okay, I'm just going to come out and say it."

"Go ahead."

"Remus, well, you know..." Sirius was fiddling with his fingers. Wow, I never saw Sirius nervous. "I'm really sorry about yesterday and all..."

It felt as if my heart fell. I shouldn't have had my hopes up. I plastered on a smile and nodded. "I wouldn't have a heart if I didn't forgive you."

Sirius smiled in relief and embraced me. I melted into his arms. I could stay this way forever.

SIRIUS

It feels so perfect, holding him in my arms. I smiled for awhile and we released each other. "Thanks a bunch, Moony..." I whispered.

He smiled softly at me. "It's no problem. You're my best friend, Sirius."

Yeah, best friend... Nothing more. I was too scared to tell him anyway.

I held out my hand jokingly. "Let's head out, Sir Remus."

Remus blushed slightly, making my heart flutter. He took my hand. "As you wish, Sir Sirius." We laughed and headed to the Gryffindor Tower.

I always wish we'd be this way...

We entered the dormitory and James leaped up. "Well?" he asked expectantly.

"Well, we're friends now!" Remus said. James glanced at me strangely.

"Hey Rem, mind if I steal Sirius a few seconds?" he asked. He pulled me into the bathroom. He glared at me. "Siri! Why didn't you tell him yet?!"

"I couldn't..." I blushed. "My nerves got the best of me."

James sighed and ruffled my hair. "Sirius..." he said gently. "When will you tell him?"

"Sorry, James, I just couldn't." I sighed and James hugged me.

"Just decide soon." He smiled. "I can't wait till you two are together..."

I blushed. He chuckled and we went back outside. Remus stared up at the crescent moon from the window. I heard a soft sigh. "You're scared, aren't you?" I asked softly.

Remus turned to me and nodded, blushing slightly. I laughed and wrapped my arms around him. "My poor, poor Moony."

Remus blushed deeper and my heart soared. Is it possible that... he could love me back?

REMUS

The next morning we all walked down together. When we went down to breakfast, it was just Sirius, James and me. James went off to see Lily which left Sirius and I alone. We sat beside each other, our knees hitting each other lightly. I blushed and so did Sirius.

"So..." he said softly.

"So," I replied, just as soft.

"I'm hungry," he said, making me chuckle lightly while shaking my head. There was always that thing with Sirius. Nobody could make me laugh like he could. He smiled at me.

"I'm glad we're best friends, Moony," he said softly.

"Yeah?" I said, smiling up at him. He grinned and chuckled.

"Yeah." He ruffled my hair. I laughed. "Come on, it's Potions with Professor Winder. Wouldn't that be fun?"

I laughed some more. "It would, really," I said lightly. "That scumbag just brightens up my day!"

Sirius laughed. "But hey, we're partners again!"

I am so happy Snape's sick...

Ever since Sirius and I became friends again, we've been closer. And there have been signs that maybe he could even like me. Hmm... What would happen if we did?

"Remus?"

I shook my head, snapping out of my reverie, my hair falling into my eyes. He chuckled and brushed them away. "You're my spacing out boy."

"Yeah, as if you don't space out too," I shot back, grinning. Sirius blushed madly and I couldn't help but laugh.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"Nothing," I said, holding back another chuckle. Sirius raised his eyebrows and I chuckled slightly. "Come on, we will be late for Potions, you know."

And as if James knew it, he had already left with Lily, leaving me and Sirius alone to our thoughts as we walked towards the dungeons.

Life couldn't get any better.

SIRIUS

Sitting next to him makes me have butterflies in my stomach. We were working on this potion, I didn't bother with the name, and I was cutting roots while Remus stirred the potion. I stole a glance at him and did he look as beautiful as ever.

"Sirius, I need the roots now," he said, not looking up from the potion. I passed them to him and he poured them into the potion. "You're unusually quiet today, and so is the dungeon."

"I hadn't thought any pranks up," I admitted, blushing. Remus glanced up at me, his amber eyes staring into mine, shining with utter amusement.

"Sirius Black thinking up no pranks? What is this world coming to?" he teased. I rolled my eyes, grinning sheepishly.

"Well, I had other things on my mind," I said honestly, a slight blush crossing my cheeks. Yeah, my mind was on you so I couldn't think.

"Yeah? What was on your mind?"

I stared into his eyes for awhile, my breath caught in my throat. Curiosity appeared into his eyes and unknowingly I had said, "You."
