Chapter Two
A/N: I have made a few changes to Chapter one. Remus was now in second year when his brother attacked him and Romulus was in fourth, he and Sirius were both in third year when they started having feelings for each other, and the entire first chapter happened a few days before Remus' sixteenth birthday. This story is taking place in the spring of their fifth year. Enjoy! Sorry this is so short, but I've been busy lately.
Sometimes, Remus thought as he woke up the next morning, life really is strange. He wondered at how his life had changed yesterday. He'd gone from being terrified of his own so-called brother, to having the very person he'd been in love with for the past two years tell him that they felt the same way. Remus couldn't decide if his birthday had been one of the best days of his life, or one of the worst. All he knew was that he wasn't quite so alone anymore, and he couldn't help smiling at the thought, as he felt Sirius stirring beside him.
"Morning," Remus whispered to him. He looked around the dorm. No one else was up yet. His alarm clock told him that it was nearly eight o'clock, but as it was a Saturday, most people would be sleeping in. He felt Sirius wrap his arms around his waste, before placing a light kiss on the back of Remus' neck.
"Morning, love. Anyone else up yet?" Sirius asked, as he sat up, rubbing sleep out of his eyes.
"Not yet. I'm going to take a shower, all right?" Remus murmured, before getting out of bed and gathering his things.
"Mind if I join you?" Sirius asked cheekily, as he too got out of Remus' bed.
"Yes, I mind. I'd much rather shower on my own, thank you very much." Remus admonished with a slight chuckle.
As Remus stepped into the shower, Sirius went to sit on his own bed, waiting to be able to shower himself. He started thinking about what Remus told him yesterday. He knew he'd promised not to say anything to James and Peter, and he intended to keep that promise, but Sirius still wanted to find a way to make Romulus and his friends pay for what they'd done to his Remus.
It couldn't be a simple prank, though. What he really felt like doing was walking right up to the son of a bitch the next time he saw him and punching his lights out, but Sirius wasn't sure if Remus would go for that. Especially since Romulus was sure to figure out that Remus had told him everything, and might end up spilling his younger brother's secret to the entire school. Sirius also briefly considered telling a teacher, but decided that it should up to Remus if he wanted to tell anyone else about it.
