REMUS

I stared at him, unable to say anything. He was thinking… of me? Me, the werewolf. Me, Remus Lupin. "W-what?" I asked softly.

Sirius looked scared. "God, did I say that out loud?" he asked nervously. I looked up at him, and his eyes looked truly nervous. Oh god…

"You… think about me?" I whispered so only he could hear me. Sirius glanced at me nervously.

"Yeah." He sighed. "Might as well tell you now, but---"

The bell rang and Sirius was cut off. "Can you tell me later? I'll just pass the vial."

I half-smiled at the boy I loved. "Okay," he said. He sounded like such an innocent child. I laughed lightly and headed to the front.

After Potions, Sirius and I were walking towards Defense Against the Dark Arts. For awhile we walked in awkward silence until Sirius broke it. "Remus, remember that I was supposed to tell you something?" he said softly.

"Yeah." I smiled up at him. He smiled too. "What is it?"

Then again his breath was caught in his throat. "Sirius…" I said softly. "Just tell me."

He sighed, ran a hand through his hair and took a deep breath.

"Remus, I like you. I might even love you. I know I've been acting strange lately… And it's because most of those times I was supposed to tell you how I feel." He smiled weakly at me as I tried to digest this all in. "Remus Lupin… I love you."

And then it had sunk in my brain and tears slowly flew down my cheeks. I can't believe this. Sirius Andrew Black loves me. ME. The werewolf. As in me. Remus Lupin. "R-Remus, don't cry." Sirius looked panicky. "I'm sorry if I offended you in any way."

"N-no, Sirius, I'm just…" I really felt like everything was all a trick. "Excuse me."

I whipped around and walked away, the tears falling more than ever. I bet it was all a bloody lie. "Remus, wait!" he called, but I never wanted to look back anymore.

SIRIUS

It felt as if my heart was slowly being torn apart and thrown to the dogs. Damn it, why does he make me feel this way!

A lone tear slid down my cheek, which I quickly wiped away. Nobody ever saw a Black cry. Not even James Potter.

"Hey Siri!" a voice called. I turned around, seeing James wave at me from afar. "Hey, what's up? You seem…down."

"Uh, it's nothing," I lied quickly, trying not to really break down in front of my best friend. James raised his eyebrows at me.

"God, you suck at lying, you know that?" he said with a smile. "Seriously, Padfoot, what are you all sad about?"

"Remus doesn't love me," I blurted out. James' eyes widened. "Don't think of it as a shock, Prongs, I'm serious!"

I turned around and swept off. Forget classes. My heart's just been broken into two and it certainly couldn't be fixed.

REMUS

Who couldn't be more of an idiot as I am?

I just lost the chance of being with the guy I loved. I think my head's going nuts. I loved Sirius, honestly and I still do but… what the hell did I just do!

"Hey Remus," a voice said. My friend Holly Thompson came up to me and flashed me a smile. "What's up?"

And out of nowhere, words spit out of my mouth. "Holly, will you go out with me?"

Holly's face was filled with confusion. She wasn't happy or anything. She was just confused. Thank god I wasn't alone with this.

"Uh, okay," she said uneasily before walking away to catch up with Lily. I saw that she told Lily what happened because Lily glanced over at me with a same look of utter confusion.

"Remus!" a voice said cheerfully. I turned around and met James' eyes. He grinned at me. "Listen, d'you know what happened to Padfoot? I mean, he's all glum and I can't seem to find him. Perhaps he told you."

"No, he didn't tell me anything," I said, trying not to explode into tears. Shit, I did hurt him a tad too much. "Um, I better get going. See you, James."

I turned around and fled before anything worse happened. I thought of a place where nobody could ever find me. Brilliant, the Forbidden Forest.

Grabbing my cloak, I set off. I don't think anything's going to happen. After all, it's midday. I walked down to the lake and off into the woods. I was ready more than ever to run away. Who cares about "don't run away from your problems"! I don't.

SIRIUS

I took a deep breath, staring up at the ceiling of my four-poster bed. Tears still threatened to spill down from my cheeks. I swear, I don't think I'll get over it. Okay, don't think like that, I will… Shit, I won't.

I sat up, thinking, What the hell did I do wrong! I did the presentation right, a bit blunt, but I said my feelings!

"God, I've gone mad," I murmured to myself. I ran a hand through my hair. "I've got to go somewhere, where no one'll find me."

Then suddenly my eyes lit up with happiness. "The Forbidden Forest," I said with a stroke of brilliance. I grabbed my cloak and set off, out of the Gryffindor Tower, down by the lake and finally into the woods.

I strode into the woods, dodging the branches ready to hit my face. Rustles of leaves kept echoing in my ears, not only that but also Remus's voice. "Excuse me."

Tears stung in my eyes. I wiped them away, my eyes burning with fury. "Forget him, Padfoot," I growled to myself. "He's not worth it. Damn, I'm going insane, I'm talking to myself!"

I walked into a clearing, stumbling and tripping off a large root. "Oh crap, not again!" a voice yelled angrily. I looked up and saw the person I never wanted to see.

It was Remus, trying to untangle his foot from a Devil's Snare.

OH! Sorry to everyone who's been anticipating this! I really just lost inspiration! But now I'm back! Sorry, several apologies to all of you:)
