Light beats back the darkness within.

Note: Hiiii.. I switched the POV to just Sirius's this time, because I wanted to and also I think it would help the story… so read review and such etc etc. Thannnxxx!

Also I wanna say thanx to my first reviewer: westkitsune, yeah I really thought that that I summed up Remus's feelings, I'm glad you liked it and I hope you review some more! 

I woke; the light surrounding me stung my eyes. I kept them closed for now, listening for signs of life around me. Hearing someone stirring I reopened my eyes to a sight for which I so longed to see for years.

"Remus" I hoarsely exclaimed, my throat dry and hardly used "I…" placing his finger on my lips, he quieted me. His finger, long and soft to the touch made me shiver. My eyes finally focused to unfamiliar surrounds. Breathing laboured my body; the damp air caused burning in my lungs.

"Take it easy old friend, you've been asleep for quite some time." I again tried to survey my surroundings, but the quick movement of my head caused my stomach to churn.

"Where am I?" I question, trying to force down the contents of my stomach, with little success.

"Your at my home… don't move your still healing, I used a spell to get you back to your human form once I got you back here. How do you feel?" He placed his hand on my tender chest, the warmth of it spreading through me. The sudden blast of warmth stung my soul, and then I looked into his eyes. Those deep emerald eyes that engulfed Sirius's soul every time, even after 12 years they had the same lustful effect on him.

"Great" I whispered as I used all my strength to get upright, Remus's support helped greatly. I touched my wound; it stung more then any other as Remus made them.

"I'm really sorry Padfoot, I…I just don't know why that transformation was worse then any other." Remus lied to himself and Sirius, he knew exactly why it was so bad: because of Sirius. He bowed his head, once again ashamed of his actions towards Sirius.

Even after 12 years Sirius knew when he was lying, he took Remus's face in his course hands, holding it up so their eyes were level.

"Those who fall in love see the world in a different light then everyone else. You gain a longing to a person and a way of thinking that never would have occurred to you. When you look into your loves eyes you see them in that other light, in that all consuming light and for the rest of theirs lives they see you in the same way. For 12 years I've wanted to see you, to hold you, to tell you how much I love….you."

Remus's heart stopped, he too wanted to express his love but the regret and pain of everything he had done over their friendship was too much for him to bear. He pulled away, turned his back and lifted hand to the door.

"Remus wait! I'm sorry… I didn't mean to scare you. Its…its just I've had so long to think about this moment and I just wanted it to be right" tears began to well in Sirius's eyes "I'm sorry that I let Lilly and James die…. It was all my fault, I think I always knew Peter wasn't trustworthy but I could never truly believe it. I'm sorry that I left you here, alone and afraid" He tears became so hard he could no longer form words, placing his head in his lap he heard Remus leave and the door click behind him. He cries became fiercer…

"What have I done?"

I know it's short but it felt like such a good cliff-hanger! So please read, review and blah-de-Blah! Thanx 
