What's Behind the Curtain?
Cassandra Sunn
Rating: PG for homosexuality and slight potty mouth.
Genre: Drama/Romance. I also put some humour in. But all my stories are like that.
Summery: It's been two months since Sirius fell through the curtain. Remus has completely lost it. Then his roommates tell him there's a chance Sirius could be alive. SiriusRemus. R+R!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters associated with it. I do, however, own Phoebe, Meg, Kaili, and Ashleigh. Mine! Piss off.
Warnings: This chapter has all the make-out stuff. Nothing too bad, but remember, they are both male! Don't like it, go away.
Mindless Dribble: Now for the good stuff!

Remus stepped through the curtain.
He fell. The breath was torn from him. It was dark. No ground. No walls. No nothing. Was this how Sirius felt? Is Sirius in this?
Remus knew he fell in here with his wand, but he couldn't feel it in his hand. Now that he thought about it, he couldn't feel anything. Was he moving? Was he standing? He couldn't tell. He told his finger to touch his nose. Did it move? He felt nothing on his nose. Wait, he couldn't feel anything on his nose!
What was this place?
He tried to yell. Did he? Did his mouth open? What happened? He heard nothing. He didn't even hear silence.
No wonder Sirius didn't come back. He was stuck here. And now, so was Remus. And the girls wouldn't know what happened. If they came to look for him, they'd get stuck, too.
No, don't think of the girls! He thought-yelled. Think of Sirius. Think of how you're going to get out!
Suddenly, everything tingled, like his whole body had fallen asleep.
He opened his eyes to discover he was lying on the ground. The ground of where?
He felt his wand firmly in his fist. Good, he was protected. Now to find Sirius.
One problem.
Remus couldn't move.
He closed his eyes. At least he could do that. His body was still tingling. Painfully so.
Is this where I'm going to die?
He heard noises. Shouts. The pain was too much. Couldn't open his eyes anymore. Shouldn't have closed them. Mistake. Didn't see it coming. Hurt to think.
Stop, Brain.
Sound started to fade. Good. Unconsciousness would take over. Nice. No pain.
Before he passed out, he thought he heard a familiar voice. No. Silence.
(-)(-)(-)(-)
Sounds reached Remus's ears. Was he dead? Did he want to be alive?
The tingling had stopped, but the pain was still there. He groaned.
"Remus?"
He was vaguely aware of a hand on top of his. Who said his name?
He was comfortable. He was on a bed?
Couldn't see. Maybe open my eyes?
The light was too bright. Painful. He groaned again.
"What hurts?" a voice said. It sounded so far away.
"Everywhere," Remus muttered. "Light."
"What about the light?" the voice asked. "Don't follow it!"
"No," Remus moaned. "Too bright."
"Light too bri- oh!"
The light dimmed. Remus could make out a figure sitting next to him. Blurry. Couldn't focus. Looked familiar.
It hit him. Sirius! Who else would it be? He knew no one else behind the curtain. Unless the curtain had kicked him out. Was it the girls? No. One figure. Dark hair. Kaili? No, too short. Sirius. It was his Sirius.
"Sirius?"
The blur moved. "Yes."
"You're here."
"Yes."
"I l- I... I lo-"
"What? Remus, what are you trying to say?"
"I... I can't focus. Blurry." Remus couldn't do it. Couldn't tell him. Thought he could. No. Couldn't get it out. Three simple words. I love you. I love you! I LOVE YOU! "I love you."
"What? Wh-what did you say?"
"Sirius. I love you."
Silence. The Sirius-blur didn't move. Remus closed his eyes. There was a reason he couldn't say it. Now Sirius would hate him.
He heard movement. Sirius is probably running while I can't see. Clever. He realized he still felt a hand on his. Sirius?
Remus felt something on his lips. It took him a second to realize it was Sirius's lips. It was just a brush. The slightest touch. But it was still a kiss.
"Sirius?" Remus opened his eyes. Still blurry. "Can't see."
The Sirius-blur leaned back. "You can't form complete sentences, either. It's okay. I couldn't, either."
"Wanna see you."
"I know."
"When?"
"Soon."
Remus reached up and touched Sirius's cheek. It felt fuller. Healthier. "You okay?"
"Yes, don't worry."
"Why stay?"
"Because a convict is not welcome."
"Pardoned with death."
"What? Really? I'm innocent?"
Remus nodded. The Sirius-blur became slightly clearer.
"What about Harry? Is he okay?"
"Alive. Miserable."
"Understandable. You don't look so great. You look like you've been crying. A lot."
"Every day."
"Oh, Remus." Sirius gripped his hand. "Oh, gods, I am so sorry!"
"Live with pack."
"Other werewolves?"
"All female."
Sirius laughed. "Must be terrible!"
"No. Girls tell me you're alive."
"How do they know?"
"Curtains don't kill."
Sirius chuckled. "No. No, they don't."
Suddenly, his vision was perfect. Remus blinked several times. Sirius looked definitely healthier. Younger, too! His hair was taken care of, but still long. His robes were new-looking. "Sirius, you look great."
"I see your vision is back."
"Yeah." Remus raised his hand and stroked Sirius's hair. Silky. He gently pulled Sirius's face closer to his own. When they were close enough, Remus pressed their lips together. Eagerly, he kissed Sirius. Hungrily.
Sirius returned the kiss with the same hunger.
Mouths opened. Tongues explored. Hands began to roam.
When one of Sirius's hands roamed into Remus's pants, Remus broke the kiss. "No."
"No?" Sirius repeated. "No what? Do you not want this?"
"I do. Oh, man, I do! But here?"
"Where else? We can't get out."
"I'm guessing you tried Apparating."
"Yeah. Duh."
"And you don't have your wand."
"Nope."
"But I have my wand."
"I see that."
"Not that wand. Get your hand out of my pants."
"Awww!"
"Later, Horny. We can do that later."
Sirius pouted. "You're no fun."
"You're cute when you whine," Remus grinned. "And you will get along with my roommate, Phoebe. She's a lot like you."
"A female me?" Sirius said over dramatically. "No!"
Remus shook his head. "Okay, I'm getting my own place!"
"With me?"
"Of course!"
"Now we have to get out of here."
Remus sat up. "Um, Sirius? My legs wont move."
"Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, I'll have to carry you for a day."
"I can thing of worse ways to get around."
"Oh, really?" Sirius grinned and swooped Remus up in his arms. Their lips met.
"I feel like I should be in a white dress," Remus murmured.
"No way do you get to be the bride!"
They both laughed together.
