A/n: Hey! Another chapter. Hope you enjoy. R/R! I hope you all haven't abandoned me!

Chapter 3

After the reception, Sirius and Remus went to Remus's house where they were both usually at. They both sat on the couch at an angle facing each other. Sirius put his hand on Remus's, leaned in, and kissed him. Remus smiled shyly and Sirius leaned in and kissed him again.

Sirius was about to kiss him again, and Remus knew that things were going to get serious. He could tell by the way that Sirius was kissing. Each kiss was getting more and more passionate. He was pretty sure with the next one that his jacket would come off. So, Remus stopped him as he leaned in. "Sirius. We should go change."

Sirius nodded and said, "Yeah. You're right."

They got up and headed toward Remus's bedroom.

"Do you have an extra pair of clothes for me?" Sirius asked when they got there.

"Yes, of course." Remus replied. "You always leave your stuff here."

"Well, this is my second home." Sirius said, smiling seductively as Remus's heart melted.

Remus threw Sirius some clothes, grabbed some clothes for himself, and they both changed.

Sirius threw his tux across the room. "I never want to wear one of those again."

Remus laughed and said, "I couldn't agree more."

They stood there for a while in an awkward silence. Then Sirius, knowing what was going to happen anyway, walked over to Remus and gave him a passionate kiss.

They both smiled and leaned their forwards against each other's forehead. Sirius put his hand on Remus's neck, and drew him for another kiss. Remus put his hands around Sirius's neck, and leaned back to deepen the kiss. Sirius put his other arm around Remus' neck. Slowly Sirius slid the hand around Remus's neck down his back, enjoying the passion that arose whenever they touched and kissed. He took his other hand, put it under his shirt from the bottom, and rubbed his hand up and down his chest. Then, removing it out from under his shirt, he slowly started to unbutton his shirt.

Usually, Remus either tensed up or fought Sirius whenever he went to take off his shirt. This time, he did neither. He seemed to take no notice, except for the passion that they could feel rising in them with each button Sirius removed.

When Sirius finally removed Remus's shirt, he threw it across the room.

Sirius then took off his own shirt, threw across the room, and then, still kissing Remus, proceeded to move slowly to the bed.

Sirius moved the hand that had been on Remus' chest, down to the front of Remus' trousers. He slowly undid the front of his pants, and then pushed them down. Remus, then, kicked them to the floor, and then off his feet.

Sirius then took his hands (he was still kissing Remus all the while) and unbuttoned his jeans. He pushed Remus on the bed, and proceeded to take off the rest of his clothing. Remus moved up to lay his head on the pillows, and Sirius (as soon as he had finished undressing) got on top of him.

They both just lie there, looking at each other. Then Sirius leaned forward to kiss Remus, and they began kissing again, rubbing their hands along their bodies.

Sirius moved one of his hands down Remus' chest, feeling underneath his palm the many scars that adorned his lovers' flesh, which was the reason Sirius has been the only person to ever see him naked. He moved his down to Remus' boxers and then hesitated.

Last time he had tried to take off his boxers (which would be about 10 months ago, now) he almost gotten slapped. Remus had not approved, and Sirius knew. It had ruined their night, and Sirius has since regretted that he had not asked his lover if he approved. He had read the signs wrong, and he knew it. This time, he would ask, and make sure that Remus approved before he did anything, so as to make sure that never happened again. Sirius felt really bad about it, and didn't want it to happen again. Remus would definitely not like that. Not at all.

Sirius moved his hand down towards Remus' boxers, and hesitated just above them. He stopped and just stared at Remus.

"What's wrong?" Remus asked.

"Nothing," Sirius said. "It's just... I want to do something, but I'm not sure you'll approve. You didn't last time."

Remus looked quizzically at Sirius. "What is it, Padfoot?"

"I want to take off your boxers." Sirius said. "I wanted to ask for permission before I did it."

"Why would think I wouldn't approve?" Remus asked.

"Because, Moony, last time I tried it, I almost got slapped."

Remus blushed. Yes, he remembered that quite clearly. "Well, Padfoot, sex is a big thing. It's a big step. Especially for me."

Sirius was confused by this remark. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"Well…" Remus hesitated. This was something he should've brought up a long time ago. He lowered his head and whispered, "Werewolves mate for life."

Sirius gasped. "I… I never realized…"

"I know. I never told you."

"That's why… That explains so much."

"Yes, it does."

Sirius lowered his head so he could look into Remus' eyes. "Moony… that's what I want."

Remus looked up quickly and Sirius' eyes followed his. "Really?"

"Yes, of course, why wouldn't it be?" Sirius said, like Remus' should've known that all along.

Remus just smiled.

"So, I take it you approve?" Sirius said, smiling.

Remus smirked. "Of course, I approve, you twit." And with that, he kissed him.

Sirius removed his boxers, and things progressed from there. They made love into the wee hours of the night.

In the morning, they woke up in each other's arms.

Sirius stretched and noticed that Remus was right there with him, in his arms. He smiled at the sight, and the thought of last night. That was the best night of my life, he thought. It was better than my wildest dreams.

Then Sirius felt Remus stir next to him. He looked over and saw his love stretching as he woke. Sirius smiled with love in his eyes. "Good morning, sleeping beauty." He greeted.

Remus just smiled. "Good morning, my love." He said. "Is it that late?" He said as he remarked on the light coming room the window.

"I imagine so," he said. "But frankly, I don't care."

"Oh, really?"

"Yes." Sirius answered. "I just had the best night of my life last night, so, no, I don't care what the rest of the world is doing right now. I intend on staying right here with the love of my life. And as far as I'm concerned, the rest of the world can go to hell."

Remus smiled and blushed profusely. Sirius leaned in and began to kiss Remus again. As he was kissing him, Sirius realized that Remus didn't seem interested. He didn't seem to want to. He seemed… preoccupied. He could tell Remus was not in the mood, so he stopped kissing him and said, "Alright, alright. I can tell you're not interested."

"It's not that I'm not interested, it's just that… I'm still trying to digest what happened last night." Remus said.

Sirius just smiled. "That's fine." And he stopped kissing him and lay down next to him, facing him.

Remus sighed and smiled.

"Did you enjoy last night?" Sirius asked.

"Did I ever!" exclaimed Remus. "It was the best night of my life."

Sirius smiled. "I'm glad."

Remus smiled and snuggled into Sirius. "I want every night to be like this."

"Me, too, my love." He said, holding Remus tighter to him.

Remus and Sirius suddenly heard a fluttering of wings. Sirius turned around to see an owl hovering on the other side of the closed window. Sirius got up and opened the window, grabbed the letter the owl had brought for him, and the owl flew away.

"What is it?" Remus asked.

"It's a letter." Sirius replied. "It's from James." He started reading. "He and Lily are at their honeymoon site finally." He started reading more, but then got impatient, and threw the letter down. "But, it can wait." He said, getting into bed with Remus and embracing him again. "Oh, I love you." He said. "So much. More then you know."

"Oh, I'm sure I know." He said, giving Sirius a kiss, and sighing. "I just want to stay like this forever. Just stay here in your arms all day and make love with you all night."

"And as far as I'm concerned you can." Sirius said. "I wish you could just stay here in my arms forever. I wouldn't let anything touch you or hurt you. No one would even get near you unless they got through me first." He gave Remus a kiss.

"Sirius," said Remus. "You can't protect me from pain and hurt. I've experienced pain and hurt my whole life. You, James, Peter and Lily where the first good things to come into my life after I got bit."

"I know I can't protect you, Remus, but I can try."

Remus smiled at his lover. "I know. And you do a damn good job of it."

Sirius smiled and laughed.

Remus sighed again. "I suppose we should get up."

"Do we have to?" Sirius whined.

"We really should."

Sirius sighed.

"Come on," said Remus. "Let's get up. I'll make breakfast."

That got Sirius up. Remus just laughed and got up and got dressed. Sirius put on a pair of jeans and Remus put on a pair of slacks and a button-up shirt, which he left unbuttoned, and together, with Sirius's arms around Remus, they went downstairs into the kitchen.

When they got down into the kitchen, Sirius sat down at the table, and Remus made them breakfast, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, and toast. Sirius was licking his lips. "It looks delicious, babe." He said, as Remus put a plate down in front of him, and then put a plate down next to him, and sat down.

 "It should be delicious." Remus said. "I'm a good cook."

"Yes, you are." Sirius said, almost inhaling the food. "You got anymore?" He said, as he handed Remus the empty plate.

"More?" Remus exclaimed, as he took the plate from Sirius. "What do you think I am, made of money?"

"Well, if you would just ask me, I'd be more than happy to give you some money, or even buy you food if you want. I am rich, you know, and I've had even more money since my father died." Sirius said kindly.

"I know, I know." Remus said sadly. "I don't like to ask for help. I never have. You know that."

"Yes, I know that." Sirius said sincerely, taking Remus' other hand in both of his. "But that's why I'm here, to help you, to be with you. That's why I gave you that ring." Sirius said, talking about the gold ring on Remus' hand, and then at the one on his own finger that he and Remus had bought together. "I promised myself to you. I know you trust me. You can ask me for help, too."

Remus sighed. "Oh, Sirius-"

But Sirius shushed him. "It's alright."

They both just stared at the floor for a while, and then Sirius sighed.

"I should get these dishes washed." Remus said.

"Yeah," Sirius agreed.

"And you," Remus said playfully, wanting to lighten the mood, "need to get a shirt on."

Sirius smirked. "I do not. I don't have to put a shirt on if I don't want to."

"Oh, yes, you do." Remus said, his eyes drifting down to rest on Sirius' bear chest. God, he's sexy, he thought, turning away, shivers running down his spine.

Sirius just smirked even more, knowing exactly what Remus was thinking. "I just think I'll stay like this."

"Have pity, Sirius." Remus said. "Just be a good boy and go put a shirt on."

"No." Sirius said. "I'm not a good boy and you know it." His hands slipping around Remus' waist as he came up behind him.

Remus gasped as he felt Sirius' arms around him. Then Sirius got closer to Remus, and slid his arms up his chest and underneath his shirt. He began kissing Remus' neck. Remus just moaned. "Oh, Sirius," he said, as he leaned his head back onto Sirius' shoulder, as Sirius stopped kissing him. "Sirius, please. Let me finish doing the dishes. Go into the living room. You're such a distraction."

"But I'm a very good distraction." Sirius said, kissing him again

"Yes, you are." Remus agreed. "But, please. Go into the living room, I'll join you in a second."

Sirius stopped and stared at Remus. "Alright, love. Don't be long." He gave him another kiss, and then went into the living room and sat on the couch.

Remus finished up the dishes, and then went into the living room after Sirius. He saw Sirius laid out on the couch, with his back propped up on the farther armrest. Remus walked over to him, and Sirius immediately sat up, and put one foot on the floor, and the other leg up on the headrest of the couch. Remus then lay down, his head resting on Sirius' chest, with Sirius' arms around him. Remus sighed in contentment.

"What about the letter from James?" Remus asked, breaking the silence.

"Oh, right," said Sirius, suddenly remembering it. "It's still upstairs in the bedroom. Get up for a sec, and let me get it. I'll be right back, I promise." Remus did as he said, and true to his word, he wasn't gone very long. Sirius lay back down, and they got in the same position as before. Sirius held the letter out in his hands to the side, and titled his head the side so he could read it. He read it aloud.

Dear Sirius (and Remus, probably, as well, wink wink),

How are you? Both of you, of course. Lily and I finally arrived at our honeymoon site today. It was so aggravating that she wouldn't let us Apparate. She insisted it was "too dangerous for people who have not been Apparting for a long time to Apparate long distances." She's probably right, too, which is even more annoying.

It's actually really beautiful here. It's a perfect honeymoon site. I'm glad Lily thought of it. (Yes, that was also Lily's idea. Not surprising, I know.) Anyway, I wanted to write you when I got here, when I had time, because I don't think I'll have any time to write you after this. (Wonder why?)

I hope you having fun. (If Remus is there, I know you are, wink wink.) Enjoy yourselves. (Like I even have to tell you.) See you when we get back and I'll tell you all about what "happens" on our trip.

Love,

James

P.S. from Lily: James, quit being such a brat. You have no tact, I swear. Sirius, I know you enjoyed that letter just a little bit too much. I feel bad for Remus. Oh, and speaking of Remus: I know you're there, and I sincerely to do apologize for James's…comments… I know how you hate to be embarrassed, even if it just in front of your lover. Anyway, it is beautiful here, I'm glad I thought of it. I hope you two have fun. (I didn't mean it like that…oh, forget it, you're not gonna believe me anyway. I swear…) See you all later. Love, Lily.

P.S.S. from James: Lily, this is my letter, not yours. And I bet you did mean it like that. You're as bad as me, and you know it.

P.S.S.S. from Lily (again): Yes, I know this is your letter, but there are some things I felt I needed to say, and they're my friends, too, you know.

P.S.S.S.S. from James (again, and for the last time, I promise): Oh, get off it, Lily. I did it on purpose and you know it. Yes, I know I'm bad, and you love me for it. You wouldn't have me any other way.

P.S.S.S.S.S. from Lily (again, and for the last time, I promise, as well): Of course, you did it on purpose, and yes, I know it, I'm not stupid. Yes, you are bad, and no, I wouldn't have you any other way. Now, I'm putting this quill away, and you'd better send the owl, James Potter. Bye Sirius (and Remus). We love you both, and have a great time, (yes, I'm giving up). Love forever, from us both, Lily and James Potter. (That just sounds so cool doesn't it?)

Sirius and Remus laughed at "James'" letter. "Like it's a big surprise what they're gonna do." Sirius said.

"Yeah," Remus agreed. "They're on their honeymoon. Big surprise."

"It's seems like it wasn't a surprise what we were going to do either, was it?" Sirius said, smiling at Remus.

Remus blushed, like he had when James (and Lily) had "commented". "I suppose not." Remus agreed. "They're not stupid, you know."

"Yes, I know." Sirius agreed. "And I personally think that we're a little… obvious." Sirius said, giving Remus a heartbreaking smile.

Blushing, Remus smiled back, and said, "Yes, I think we are obvious."

Sirius and Remus stared into each other's eyes, and the Sirius put his hand on Remus's neck and turned Remus's head, and then leaned in and kissed him. They just laid there for a while, kissing, and running their hands over each other's bodies, just basking in each other.

A/n: Geez, I am sorry beyond belief for how freaking long that took. I never thought it would take that long. But, after the sex scene, I just kind of… blanked out. And I really hate how I ended that chapter, but I had to end it somehow. R/R! I hope you liked it.
