Cheated –Chapter 23:
"I came to work things out. I heard that you left to your house so I decided to come and talk to you. Great, I didn't know he was going to be here." Sirius spat the word "he" as if he had just swallowed a disgusting pill and had the most bitter after taste. Sirius was about to lunge at him but Remus stopped him.
"Sirius, why couldn't you wait until I came back? I am only staying two days." Remus told him, clearly irritated.
"Well I didn't know how long you were going to be gone and I knew that I probably wasn't ever going to be able to talk to you at school. So I thought that this would be the perfect time." Sirius said worriedly.
"Sirius YOU have become a real pain in the arse, do you know that?" Remus replied a little too loudly.
"Well you're going to have to talk because I have no where else to be, I have been traveling all day," Sirius said back in a tone that was a bit to happy. He had just realized that if he had known where else to go he'd have to stay here. Therefore Remus and Severus couldn't get to friendly with each other. Not while he was around at least.
"Sirius, I am not in the mood to talk right now. So I guess that you will have to spend the night." He said.
"What do you mean spend the night; your parents don't even know he is here. Wouldn't you get in trouble or something?" Severus asked Remus.
"I might get in trouble if I am caught by my father but I am sure that my mother won't do anything to me. My dad is a night time Auror and my mom is just stays home. So my dad isn't here right now."
"Where do you want me to sleep then? In your bed?" Sirius asked smirking.
"No! You will be sleeping on the floor dog!" Remus retorted. Severus smiled.
"Fine, I see how it is. But are you sure you don't want to talk right now?" Sirius asked.
"Yes I am sure; we'll talk in the morning."
"Then where is he sleeping then?" Sirius asked pointing at Snape, jumping through the window onto the bed.
"With me of course," Remus smiled.
Sirius sighed, "I see how it is!"
Remus grabbed a blanket and pillow from his closet and handed it to the animagus. "Here you go, now go to sleep, you really piss me off you know, you know."
"I know, I know, do you need to remind me?" he said setting his bed up and lying down. "This is so uncomfortable you know."
"Well no one asked you to come through my window did they?" Remus said getting back in his own bed with his boy friend. He turned the light switch off and everything was black. "Good night."
"Night" Said Severus scooting closer to his boy friend.
"Night, now I don't want to be hearing anything nasty up there." Sirius called over from the floor.
"Good night Sirius!"
"Okay, okay night."

The next morning Severus woke up to the smell of bacon. 'The new house elf must be cooking.' He rolled over and saw Remus' sleeping form. He began to twirl his fingers through his long soft hair. This seemed to make him stir awake a bit.
"Yes Rem?" Severus said in a groggy voice. He needed water because his mouth was too dry from sleeping with his mouth open last night. He moved his mouth around trying to regain some moisture in his mouth again.
"Morning, and Merry Christmas" he whispered. "My mum might be getting us soon. I can smell the bacon."
"Yum, that sounds good." Severus said leaning in for a kiss. The door was still locked so they had nothing to worry about. Severus rolled on top of Remus straddling him. "Merry Christmas." He whispered back. He began kissing his lips, down his chin, to the nape of his neck. Severus began to reach up his shirt and was working his hands up Remus' chest; he then decided to take the shit off when they got interrupted.
"I can hear YOU!" Sirius called out very irritated. He sat up, "did you forget I was here?"
"Oh yeah, Sirius I forgot about you." Remus laughed.
"Do you know how wonderful it is to wake up to hear your ex-boyfriend kissing another guy, especially with someone you don't like?" Sirius said sarcastically.
"Actually, no I don't, and I don't think I want to. Merry Christmas Sirius." Remus said pushing Severus off of him.
"Merry Christmas."
"My dad will be home at eleven. So you have to leave before then Sirius." Remus warned him.
"Fine, can we go and eat now, I am starving. I haven't eaten since breakfast yesterday." Sirius complained.
"Why not?" Remus asked.
"I was trying to find a way to get to you. So I didn't have time to eat." The animagus began to clean up his blanket and pillow.
Remus and Severus went over to their bags and slipped on a pair of pajama pants on and walked over to the door. Severus opened it for Remus, then walked through him self, leaving Sirius behind them. When they got into the kitchen they saw Mrs. Lupin sitting at the table. "I was just about to get you two." She looked up. "Oh, I didn't know we had another guest."
"Don't you remember me Mrs. Lupin?" Sirius asked.
"Oh Sirius dear! I have missed you!" She said coming over to give Sirius a hug. "And just how many times do I have to tell you to call me Cathrine?"
"More than I could count Cathrine." The animagus smirked.
"So when did you get here?"
"Just last night."
"I heard that you and Remus aren't exactly on speaking terms." She showed a small smile.
"Oh, yeah that is what I came here for." He said.
The werewolf leaned over to his boy friend, "I swear that my mum likes Sirius more than she likes me."
Severus stifled a laugh, "I 'm sorry."
"It's not your fault." Remus shifted over to the side of his mum. "Mum, let's eat. We are pretty hungry and have many things to discuss before dad comes home."
"Oh, right. You boys sit down and have a great breakfast. I have already eaten so I'll go work n the garden in the back. We will open gifts after you have your little talk" With that she left out the back door and the three boys sat down at the table. They had eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, and orange juice. When they were finished they went into the living room and took there seats with Severus and Sirius sitting further away from each other.
"Um, I just wanted to say that I was really, really, really sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. I know sorry isn't enough for betraying you, but I had no intention of hurting you. How can I make it up to you?" Sirius apologized.
Remus thought for a moment, "The only way that I can see you making it up to me is if you never betray me again. But I don't now if that is possible because you have betrayed me by cheating on me and then telling Sev how to get in the Whomping Willow."
Sirius sighed, "I promise."
"You promise what exactly?" Remus urged.
The animagus put his hand up. "I solemnly promise that I will never betray you again."
"Now if you ever betray me ever again, I won't be so forgiving." Remus advised.
Sirius stood up and walked up to Remus. He grabbed his friend's hands, pulled him up from his seat and gave him a bone crushing hug. Severus stood to make a move but decided to sit back down. "I missed you so much Moony!" He said swinging him back and forth.
"Okay Siri…you…killing me…can't breathe…" Remus murmured from against the taller boy's chest. "I miss you too!
Sirius looked down, "Oh sorry, didn't mean to hurt you." He said pulling Remus away from him again the giving him another hug just for fun. Sirius sat down and said, "Only about two and a half hours until your dad gets home. Do you want to get your mum and open presents? I got you something Rem." He winked at Remus, scooting closer to him so their legs were touching.
"I have a boyfriend Sirius stop trying to flirt with me; I know you are trying to piss him off." Remus said looking over at Severus who was glaring at the other dark haired boy.
"Thanks Rem." Severus smiled at Remus and then glared once more at Sirius.
Sirius just gave him an evil look and said, "I will go get your mother Moony." He stood up and left out the back door.
Remus looked over and just realized the tree in the corner of the room full decorated. "Wow, look at all those presents!"
"Yep and I bet most of them are for you." The Slytherin said walking over to steal Sirius' spot next to Remus; he didn't want Sirius to try to molest his boyfriend.
"I guess that would make sense."
"Hey you never gave me that early Christmas present you talked about." Remus complained.
"What early Chr- Oh I decided to give it to you today." He smiled, "But later in more private."
Sirius and Mrs. Lupin came in laughing about something and came to sit down in the living room. "Hey the bastard stole my spot!" Sirius shouted angrily.
"Sirius don't use that language in my house!" Cathrine snapped.
"Sorry, I just wanted to sit next to Remmy." He pouted.
"Stop being so pathetic and sit down so we can start opening gifts!" Severus told Sirius.
"What? Don't tell me what to do; you're not the boss of me."
"Sirius, Severus that is enough. Don't make me lock you two in a room and fight it out. Trust me; don't think I won't do it." Remus threatened them. Sirius got a look of horror and Severus had a looked of disgust written all over his face.
Remus' mother laughed, "So I take it that the two of you don't get along?"
"They have never gotten along mom and I don't think that they ever will."
"Why not, they both seem like lovely young boys?" she asked confused.
Sirius made a gagging noise, "Snape is not lovely, he is a stupid Slytherin that stole my- I mean that I have always hated." He said pointing at Severus
Severus looked out raged but couldn't say anything with out letting out his relationship with Remus to his mother.
"Can we just open the gifts now?" Remus asked before the conversation got out of hand.
"Yes dear we can, who wants to go first?"
"I do!" The animagus raised his hand.
"So immature." Severus murmured.
"Do you know what you? You need to shut the hell up!" he shouted.
"Sirius, I have never seen you like this! You need to watch your language." Mrs. Lupin scolded. "Now Remus why don't you go over there and pick one out for someone?"
"Yes, mum." The werewolf walked over to the tree and picked something out for Sirius otherwise he would have to hear him whine all day about not opening the first present.
He opened the gift that arrived this morning from James. It was a headband with black puppy ears and a note that said "you're more like an ass than a dog"
Sirius and Remus started cracking up while Severus and Cathrine looked at them like they were crazy. "What's so funny?" his boyfriend asked.
"Nothing, it's just an inside joke between the Marauder's" Remus explained still laughing, "James is hella dumb."
"You can say that again."
He picked another gift out with out looking and it was from himself to Severus. "Here it's for you."
"From who?"
"Me"
"Oh." He took the small package and began to tear the wrapping paper; he then opened the box and saw a necklace. The chain was a silver color with a pendant hanging from it. It was of a gold lion with a green snake wrapped around it. The lion represented Remus and the snake representing Severus. On the back of the pendant was written "SSRL." Severus gasped giving Remus a hug, "Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome Sev."
The next gift was from Sirius to Remus. He got him a big box of chocolate, "Are you trying to make me fat?"
"What?" Sirius asked.
"Just kidding, thank you Sirius." Remus said giving him a hug too.
It continued like this for a while until it was a half hour before Remus' dad would come home from work. "Alright I should get going." The animagus told everyone.
"Yeah you should." Remus told him.
"Bye Sirius. Come and visit anytime alright?" Cathrine asked.
"I will Mrs. Lupin, see you later." He said giving her a hug.
Remus walked Sirius to the door, "How did you get here?"
"By broom and the Knight Bus. My broom is outside." Sirius told him.
"Well be safe," Remus said giving him a hug.
Sirius slapped Remus' butt and then ran out the door yelling "Bye!" before Remus could say anything. The werewolf shook his head and rolled his eyes, "Sirius."
When the amber eyed boy got back to the living room his mum was gone, most likely tending to her winter garden. Severus was still sitting there waiting for him. "Sev, let's go to my room now."
"Alright, so I could give you your Christmas present."
Once they were in Remus' room Severus went through his bag to get the gift. "Ah, I found it, here you go." He said handing it to his boyfriend.
Remus ripped open the paper and then the he opened the box and what he found shocked him. "Hand cuffs and chains? Where did you get these?"
Severus laughed, "From this one hidden store in Hogsmeade."
"You will have to take me there one of these days,"
Remus smiled. "Are you trying to tell me something Sev?"
He grinned, "Maybe. But later at Hogwarts okay?"
"Okay, love you Sev."
"Love you too Rem." He leaned over and kissed his boyfriend.
Just then they heard the crack of someone apparate. "That's my father, lunch will be ready soon."
"It's sucks having to work on Christmas."
"It's part of being an Auror. There are a lot of crimes around this time and more suicide attempts too." Remus informed him.
"Oh, that's right."
"Well we should go and see my father and then eat lunch, I am getting hungry." Remus said rubbing his thin stomach.
"Yeah me too." He gave his boyfriend on last kiss and they left the room.
(A/N: Okay I finished this one pretty fast and almost before I got any reviews. Once again I don't know when I can next update. I will try to get another chapter in within the next few days but I am leaving in four days and it takes me about two days to write a chapter because I have so many distractions. I'll be leaving for a whole month and lately my mom had bee nagging at me that I have been on the computer way too much. I am practically on the computer all day but I don't get to do much because I have to pack and then my mom is always telling me to clean up my sister's messes and no one around here ever shuts up. So that I why it takes me so long to write so little. Well anyway on the reviews:
Nightmare-chan22 – I am sorry there is no fight in this chapter. I was almost done with the chapter when I got your review otherwise I would have put a fight in but I couldn't fit it in with what I had. This chapter was a little hard to write. Thank you so much for the review.
satin insanity – I guess this chapter answered you question. Thank you for
reviewing.
Abragini – I think this chapter answers your question too. Sirius does want to try to kill Severus but he is holding back because Remus is there. Thank you for reviewing.
