REMUS
I waited patiently for James, but all I really wanted was to tell Sirius I loved him so he won't be bitter with me anymore. A sigh escaped my lips. "Hey Moony," James said, entering the room to sit beside my bed.
"Hey, Jamie," I teased, a smile on my lips. James rolled his eyes, a grin on his mouth.
"Listen, I… heard what happened with Sirius." He looked at me in confusion. "You like him, don't you?"
"Like's even an understatement," I murmured, grinning slightly at him underneath my bangs. James laughed.
"Well… why'd you run away?" he asked, tilting his head to meet my eyes. I sighed nervously, playing with the sheets on my bed. "Come on, Remus, I'm all ears."
"I didn't want to! I was scared, I know I love Sirius and all, but I was scared that he was tricking me," I blurted out. "God, James, I was terrified, I didn't have a right mind then…"
"I see." James paused. "Sirius is in despair right now. He won't eat, won't sleep, he just stays in the dormitory, staring out the window and muttering words to himself."
"I'll be out soon. I know exactly what to do."
After awhile, I did get out of the Hospital Wing. Sirius still went to classes and I didn't. They said it was better if I stayed in the dormitory first.
All the while I was nervous, quickly waiting for Sirius' arrival.
SIRIUS
I felt utterly miserable.
Who wouldn't when your heart was broken into a million pieces?
I headed straight towards the dormitory after Double Potions. God, without a partner, having to do everything was hard. Well, I did have a partner; I just didn't let him work. Stupid ass Snape…
I entered the dorm, surprised to see Remus on his bed, waiting patiently. I stammered incoherently under my breath and turned around until he said, "Sirius Black, stay where you are."
Mumbling a cuss under my breath, I whipped around and sat on my bed. "What?" I asked curtly, not wanting to see his eyes. His eyes are one of the only things that made my breath get caught in my throat.
"Look at me."
"Why?" I asked sharply. "So I can see the disgust in your eyes? So I can see the flinch whenever I try to go near you? Or what other things that can hurt me?"
"No." Remus slowly tilted my chin to meet his eyes. His touch warmed up all my insides. "One, the so-called disgust you'll see in my eyes is what I call love. Two, whenever you go near me, I don't flinch, butterflies start coming and shivers go up and down my spine. And three, I know I hurt you before, but please give me the chance not to do it again."
Tears filled my eyes. Okay, I thought Blacks don't cry… I never cried before. "Sirius…" Remus said gently, moving over to hug me. He let me bury my face in his shoulder and cry. For once, I wasn't scared to cry in front of anyone.
REMUS
I never saw anyone cry like this.
But the way Sirius cried only made my heart break because it sounded so pitiful… You know those puppies that whimper and stuff? Well… He sounds like that. And it made me want to cry as well. "I'm sorry, Siri," I said softly, hugging him. "I'm sorry for hurting you so many times before."
"I'm sorry as well," Sirius sobbed, meeting my eyes. I kissed away all the tears that flew down his cheeks. "Remus… What are you…?"
"Did I ever tell you that I love you?" I whispered, smiling slightly. Sirius's eyes widened. I wiped away his tears with my thumb. I felt goose bumps on my skin and suddenly I did something I never expected myself to do.
I kissed him. It felt so bloody wonderful doing it too. It was like fireworks were erupting in my head and we both got lost in the moment. His arms slipped down to my waist and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer. I was only happy to oblige.
JAMES
I peered through the crack in the door and saw Sirius and Remus kissing. I think by this time I want to jump for joy. I wanted to squeal and shout and scream my lungs out. MY TWO BEST FRIENDS FINALLY GOT TOGETHER!
"Are they in there?" I heard a melodious voice whisper to me. I turned around and found Lily Evans, my ultimate crush, Lily Evans! She was merely inches away from me. I think I might faint.
"Yeah. Check it out." Whoa, I was actually… normal! She peered through the crack and nearly squealed in excitement.
"They finally did it!" she whispered happily, meeting my eyes with her wonderful emerald ones. A smile curled on her lips and a flush crossed her cheeks.
"Yeah, aren't we proud?" I said, playing along with her happiness. She laughed softly and rolled her eyes at me. "Hey, we helped in this great achievement. Pep talks don't grow on trees, do they?"
"No, they don't." Lily grinned at me. For once, we have a civilized conversation. "Y'know, this is the first time we ever had a civilized conversation."
"It's as if you read my mind," I said, grinning down at her.
"And it's as if we can't hear you from inside!" I heard Sirius call out. Lily and I heard Remus and Sirius burst into peals of laughter. I went inside and immediately hugged the two of them.
"Took you two long enough," I whispered in their ears. They rolled their eyes and grinned at each other.
"Congratulations, you two," Lily said from the door, her eyes twinkling brightly. "I'm happy for you both."
"Thanks, Lil!" Sirius said, winking at her. She rolled her eyes. "Aw, you know you want me."
"Yeah, too bad Remus already has you," Lily said sarcastically, making me grin. Remus laughed and moved to hug Lily.
Finally, we've got them together. Now the thing is: How can Lily be mine?
YAY! They finally got together… LOL, do I post my chapters fast! Please review!
