If You're Not The One
Chapter Five: Feelings Revealed
------------------------------------------
Weeks passed, and Remus still closed in on himself. He hadn't even come to the first Hogsmede weekend. Something was bothering him, and it worried Sirius that he wouldn't tell anyone. He honestly didn't think it would take the werewolf so long to get over his ex. The full moon was nearing and Sirius didn't think Remus could take another bad transformation, even with his friends there. Finally, Sirius decided to make it a point to have a talk with Remus.
As everyone headed down to the Great Hall for the Halloween Feast Sirius pulled Remus aside and asked for a word. Thinking something was wrong with Sirius, Remus agreed and followed him to their dormitory. Remus sat down on his bed, and patted the spot in front of him for Sirius to sit. The sandy haired teen tilted his head to the side waiting for his ebony haired friend to start talking, tucking his feet underneath himself.
"Remus..." Sirius began looking quite uncomfortable, though Remus waited patiently knowing it was something serious by use of his proper name. "Remus I know something's bothering you. You've been more withdrawn than normal for awhile now. There's something you're not telling me, or even James or Peter. We're worried about you Remy."
Remus sat and stared at Sirius, stunned. He hadn't thought this talk would be about him. He hadn't even thought that his worries were that noticeable, but when he looked into those smoky eyes that he knew so well he knew they were. How could he possibly tell his best friend that what's been bothering him is the fact that he was falling for him?
"Don't you think you should get over Eric?" Sirius asked, bringing Remus out of his thoughts.
"I'm already over him," Remus replied without thinking.
"You are?" Sirius asked, taken aback. He had thought for sure that's what was bothering his fellow Marauder. "Then what-?"
"Nothing," Remus said quickly, blushing from his mistake. "Its nothing really Siri. I can handle it."
"I know its not nothing. I can see it in your eyes," Sirius said matter of factly. Then fought back a blush of his own. Had he really just said that? How corny. "Talk to me Remus. I want to help."
Remus bit his lower lip, and picked at the hem on his robes. He didn't think he could bring himself to tell Sirius that he felt more than friendship for him. He didn't want to ruin their friendship by telling him, and not have those feelings reciprocated. He just couldn't risk that.
"Remus..." Sirius whispered, reaching out to take Remus' hands in his. He had decided, and now there was no turning back. It was now or never. Looking deep into the curious golden eyes in front of him, Sirius jumped over the edge. "I care about you Remus."
"Y-you do?" Remus asked disbelieving what he was hearing, half distracted by Sirius rubbing small circles on his hands with his thumbs.
"More than anything," Sirius assured him. "I know it sounds crazy and that you probably won't want to talk to me again after this, but that kiss we shared meant a lot to me. It made me want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want you to be able to come to me for anything. I want to hold you when you're upset. I want to be there to kiss you goodnight..."
Before Sirius could finish Remus had leaned across the bed and pressed his lips against the unsuspecting ebony haired teen. Sirius was so shocked by this that he didn't even respond to the chaste kiss.
"I care about you too Sirius Black," Remus said pulling away from him. "That's what's been bothering me. I didn't know how to tell you..."
Remus was then in turn interrupted by Sirius' lips on his own. He, however, responded to the kiss. Letting his emotions take over, and lose himself in it as Sirius moved closer to him to intensify their kiss. Feeling Sirius' tongue run across his lower lip, Remus opened his mouth slightly to allow Sirius' tongue to explore his mouth. He moaned quietly against Sirius' mouth as Sirius pushed him back against the pillows, allowing their bodies to press close together.
Too lost in each other, they didn't hear the door to their dormitory open, allowing the person to get a good view of their make out session.
"Well its about bloody time!"
Surprised, the two pulled apart to see James standing in the doorway with a smug smile on his face. Remus blushed profusely, embarrassed at being caught making out on his bed. Sirius however grabbed one of the pillows and chucked it at James' head.
"Bugger off Prongs! You're interrupting our quality time!" James stuck out his tongue at his best friend.
"I just came to get my books. I'm going to meet Lily in the library," James said moving to his trunk to get his Arithmancy books.
"Lily? Lily Evans?" Remus asked arching an eyebrow.
"The one and only," James replied, tousling his messy locks to make them look messier.
"I thought she despised you still," Remus said thoughtfully.
"Lily got stuck being the prat's partner for their Arithmancy project," Sirius said to Remus as if James wasn't even in the room.
"Good luck with that James," Remus said letting a smirk form on his face. "Careful she doesn't hex you again for getting too close."
"Yeah James that girls got quite good hexing skills," Sirius pointed out remembering James walking into their dormitory with a hand print on his cheek and his mouth magically gone.
"I'm wearing her down I tell you. She will be my girlfriend! Just you wait and see!" James said full of determination, turning to leave.
"That's what you've been saying for years!" Sirius mocked.
"Tell her I say 'hi'!" Remus shouted as James stocked out of the room.
Alone again Sirius leaned over Remus, looking down at him with his famous smile.
"Now... where were we?" he asked as Remus put his arms around his neck, drawing him closer.
