60 reviews! Woohoo! I'll tell you the truth, I've basically been sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for number 60 before I posted this chapter. Mweheheh. But! 14 reviews since last posting! Although someone's a chapter behind. –cough-Reyna-cough-. It's okay, though. I love you anway.

UnSeriousSirius: I love painting pictures with words. I'm a very visual person, and I like showing people what's in my head.

writerauthorguy: I'm writing, I'm writing!

Desanges: Suspense is fun! And it's not like I take months to update!

S.c.ou.s.er.4.li.f.e: My writing is like McDonalds!

sesshomaruhasafluffytail: Good is good. And any review makes me happy, no matter how short!

Briryan: Well here it is! The next chapter!

Tanya J Potter: What's next? It's funny you should ask that. There are four chapters of this fic after it's finished, and then I'm going to divide my time between the sequel to Boy Who Lived: Take Two, and another fic that I've been working on for awhile.

gatermage: It's my contention that Remus/Sirius is the only m/m coupling in HP fanficdom that actually makes sense.

Reyna: Bad bad Reyrey. We'll have to punish it! This makes two chapters it's late for! But I'm glad I got you interested in James/Lily! They're such a cute couple.

BookwormRose: Lily's scheme is revealed in the next chapter. But meanwhile, have some cute fluffiness!

phoenixtear19: Everybody's loving it. Although I hope my fic is healthier than McDonald's food. I know it's better tasting.

Becky Silver Black: I'm writing as fast as I can, honest! -Shares icecream-

The Unknown Marauder: I'm not the one who recommended demonsblade, but having read her stuff, it's awesome! Everyone read demonsblade! And the quiz at www.neppyman. tells you your alignment, race, and primary/secondary classes. I happen to be a chaotic evil elven ranger-bard.

And last… drumroll… Reviewer number 60! It's… it's… it's… Lestat! Who doesn't even like Harry Potter, but does like my writing! Yaay Lestatle! -Doesn't care that the review's not on Or that lestat's only read the first chapter. It's a review!-

Don't own it, there's slash, and review damn your eyes! Thanks to Valesse for letting me steal the orchideous charm from her! And bonus points for anyone who gets a song stuck in their head reading this!

Remus was using that ink again. Sirius, sitting next to him, was distracted out of his mind. He adored cinnamon. Cinnamon buns, cinnamon toast, his friends all knew better than to get between him and anything flavored with the stuff, and here Remus was with splotches of it all over his fingers. Sirius knew he couldn't keep sitting there. If he did, the temptation to see if Remus's fingers tasted like cinnamon would be too much, and he didn't trust himself not to go further. Too far.

The last straw came when the amber-eyed boy put down his quill and brushed the hair out of his face before stretching out the kinks in his shoulders. As always, the movement attracted Sirius's eye, and he lost himself in a purely aesthetic appreciation of Moony's beauty. The way the slim muscles moved under the white button-up shirt was entrancing, as was the way his hair fell just so… and then Sirius saw them. Two smears of that peculiar golden-brown ink on his face—one on the temple, nearly hidden by hair, and the other on his earlobe. So tempting…

The ebony-haired boy got up with a growl of frustration and a feeble excuse about the common room being too loud. Stumbling into the dorm, he was rather surprised to see James there. His friend had been spending most of his time lately with Lily. Obviously Remus's advice in that department was paying off. Sirius found himself wishing he could go to Remus for advice on his problem. Remus always knew what to do.

Damn. He'd come upstairs to get the far too beautiful Moony off his mind, but his mind wasn't cooperating. Sirius collapsed on his bed with a groan. James either didn't notice him, or was ignoring him, which suited Sirius's mood perfectly. Burying his face in the pillow, he allowed himself to daydream about Remus, imagining in detail how his friend would look right before their lips met. Or what kind of noises the werewolf would make as Sirius sucked the ink off his ear.

No. No, no, no, no, no. He had to stop this. Sirius sat up, intending to read a quidditch magazine, but James's soft cursing caught his attention. Drawing closer, he saw a rather large pile of weeds beside his friend's bed, and an ugly bouquet of very dead flowers in James's hands. "Prongs, mate… what are you doing?"

"Charms homework, Padfoot. Remember? Orchideous?" The boy on the bed repeated the word and gestured with his wand. And came up with another fistful of ragweed. He didn't seem pleased when his friend responded to the failure with mirth.

"You should give that to Evans! She'd love it!" Sirius barely managed to duck the handful of weeds that came his way. Producing his own wand, Sirius murmured 'orchideus,' and smirked as he came up with an elegant bouquet of black roses and blood-red poppies. "You're not using enough wrist when you swish. You've got to pretend you're flaming gay."

Obviously skeptical, James tried it, and looked sourly at the perfect bunch of tigerlilies in his hand. "Okay, so it works."

"Good! That means we can plot against Snivellus!" Sirius jumped onto the bed beside his friend, grinning eagerly.

"I can't. I've got a study session with Lily in half an hour." The excuse didn't quite ring true to Sirius. James had never really needed to study very much before. Only in Charms and Potions. All other classes came to him easily, but lately he'd been spending every free moment with the green-eyed girl, conspiring and grinning. Suddenly it occurred to Sirius to resent her intrusion.

"You're always 'studying' with her lately. You haven't even asked Remus how he is after the last full moon. Obviously Evans is more important to you than your friends."

James knew that Sirius was apt to say things he didn't mean when he was disappointed or stressed. Sirius knew that James knew that. Ordinarily the shorter boy would have shrugged off the incident until his friend came and apologized, but that didn't happen this time. The remark hit too close to home, and James was stung. "I'm surprised you've noticed me spending time with Lily. It must've been a real challenge to stop staring at Moony long enough to see us. Why don't you just go snog him and get it over with?"

Sirius's pale face turned an even whiter shade of pale. Silver-grey eyes lost focus as frantic thoughts ran around his mind like a mouse caught in a jar. 'James knows. Oh, fuck, what if Remus knows? Remus can't know! He'll hate me! Who else knows? What if they tell him? What if…' The hysterical spiral was broken by a stinging slap on his cheek. James was eyeing him in concern, his glasses askew and a look in his eyes that was part guilt and part mischief.

"Sorry I had to hit you, but you were about to go hysterical." The mischief became more pronounced as James continued. "And I'm sorry I snapped at you. It's just… well, I'll explain that later."

The mischievous look had Sirius puzzled, but there were more important things on his mind. Things like, "How did you know? And… who else knows?"

"You talk in your sleep." Before Sirius's horrified eyes could turn to the bed right next to his, James laughed and shook his head. "Not here. At home. You don't do it if there's anyone in the room, but the wall between our rooms isn't very thick. And for your second question, only one other person has figured it out that I know of, and that's Lily."

"But Lily and Remus are friends… what if she tells him?" Sirius rubbed his hands together, trying to disguise the fact that his palms were sweaty from fear. James seemed to be taking this surprisingly well. Much better than Sirius had expected him to. He was even smiling, and wrapping an arm around his friend's shoulder.

"Lily won't tell him. But we both think you should." James grinned evilly. "After all, we've been spending every spare moment for the past few days working on a plot to get the two of you together. The least you could do is thank us."

"Thank you? Wait. You're setting us up… You mean you think Remus likes me?" Sirius felt light, as if he was about to float away. Could Moony really feel the same way he did? It sounded too good to be true.

"I think he likes you. And Lily thinks he likes you. And I'm late to meet her…" James left, but Sirius barely noticed. He was bouncing around the room in glee, listening to the voices in his head. They sounded like James and Lily, and they were chanting 'he likes you.'

-Skips the light fandango for anyone who got the song reference.- But look! Sirius is happy! Don't you just want to hug him? He's so cute! Next chapter, we find out what Lily and James are up to. Mweheheh.
