Faerie Nyx: Pomfrey doesn't ask Sirius about the scratches because he's been scratched up so many times during Pranks or just fights that she just heals him and moves on, unless they're really bad.

Poppy walked out of her office and into the actual Infirmary part of the Hospital Wing and saw the two boys snuggled together. Remus was using Sirius' chest as a pillow and had a hold of Sirius' arm tightly, as if holding on for dear life. Poppy smiled to herself as she walked back into her office to drink another cup of tea.
Remus groggily opened his eyes as he put his hand to his forehead, bracing himself for the headache that was coming. But…it didn't. And Remus sat there for at least five minutes waiting for the said ache to come along, though it never did. He furrowed his brow in confusion, trying to find a reason as to why the pain wasn't pounding around in his head as it always was on the mornings after the Full Moon.
Sirius on the other hand, had been teetering on the edge of sleep and consciousness. All he wanted to do was bury his head in the pillow, nose down to keep the cold away from it, and sleep. But Remus seemed to be keeping him from doing that. Sirius' attention was soon focused on the werewolf's antics and he could barely keep his laughter quiet. Finally, it seemed to Sirius, that Remus was hurting himself trying to figure out why his head wasn't hurting , that he decided to clue Remus in.
"Salve, remember Moony?" Sirius asked, his voice husky from sleep.
That voice made tiny little shivers go up and down Remus' spine. He finally summoned up enough courage to actually open his mouth and turned towards Sirius, a slight blush on his cheek from Sirius' tone.
"Oh, right. But, uh- how did it get on there?"
It was Sirius' turn to blush this time as he had to find a way to tell Remus it was him.
"I-uh…" Sirius coughed and cleared his throat. "Madam Pomfrey put me to work, I did it."
Remus looked at Sirius, truly grateful and smiled sweetly.
"Thank you Sirius. I'm always asleep before I can get it on."
"No problem Moony."
And the boys sat in silence a long time before it was broken with a creak of a door. Peter poked his blonde head through the crack, making sure that Remus was awake before walking in. He then popped his head back out and called to James that they were both in there and awake. The other two Marauders walked in, smiling at the ones laying on the bed, bringing chocolate with them. The four teens talked about the extra Hogsmeade trip coming up and what they wanted to do then. Soon though, both Peter and James had to go, one to take a shower and one to work on correcting a failed Herbology assignment, and they were both out the door.
"So uhmm…" Remus began, but was interrupted as Madam Pomfrey came out of her office singing quite loudly.
"But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one compares with you…I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life I love you more! Though I know----OH! Hello dears, didn't realize you were awake." She said smiling slyly at Sirius as she continued singing along with her now audible radio.
Remus just barely caught the exchange between the Healer and the young man he had his eye on, but he had seen it. And it had intrigued him, very much so. He looked towards Sirius and saw the bashful look he had upon his face.
"Well m'dears I'm off to talk to Professor Dumbledore, don't get into too much trouble." And with that, Madam Pomfrey left the two young boys in the Infirmary. Alone with each other.
Remus sighed and fell back against the pillows, his left eye against the cool linen. He wanted to get up and move around, but he didn't. He liked the coziness of the bed and the nearness of Sirius. As he rolled over to his right side, the red tinted hair fell onto his eyelid.
Remus kept both eyes closed, of course he had to keep his left eye closed to keep the locks of hair out of it, but that's beside the point. He felt the bed dip as Sirius laid down beside him, head propped up by his arm. And Sirius was close, but just close enough to where Remus could just barely feel the warm puffs of breath hitting his face.
Sirius was staring at the lock of golden hair laying across the pale eyelid and he desperately wanted to move it. He desperately needed to move it. And so…he did. The calloused fingertips fluttered on Remus' soft skin, sweeping up the hair and tucking it behind Remus' barely freckled ear. Sirius kept caressing Remus' face lightly, sometimes connecting the small freckles invisibly.
At first Remus' eyes snapped open, the gold showing more than usual, making Sirius' face light up. He always loved it when the gold shone through the green. Remus took in the way Sirius was looking at him and relaxed, relishing in the feeling of the rough pads of Sirius' fingers. He sighed slightly as Sirius pushed another fallen lock behind his ear, capturing Sirius' attention.
The blue eyes transfixed on Remus', soaking everything up. The veiled look of bliss he had on his face made Sirius' insides flop and twist.
"I didn't want to." He whispered quietly and moved his face closer to Remus'.
Remus looked at him as he was quite confused about this statement. He started to ask Sirius what he meant by that exactly but Sirius leaned in farther, just barely brushing their lips together.
"Moony…" Sirius whispered, his voice husky.
And that was all it took. Remus leaned all the way in, pressing his mouth eagerly to Sirius'. To Sirius it felt as though his senses were multiplied and he could feel every little hair on his arm standing straight up. Remus pushed his tongue past Sirius' lips and into the warm mouth. And Sirius could still taste the chocolate on Remus' tongue, along with a spicy flavor that was all Remus' own.
Remus licked at Sirius' tongue, teasing it into his own mouth. Of course, the wet organ follow relentlessly. And Remus loved the taste of sweet cider mixed with a slight dark chocolate taste that Sirius owned, although there was something he couldn't place and he wasn't too fond of it. Sirius pulled back, deciding to look at Remus and his reaction. But because the taste of this kiss was like no other, Remus had to see if Sirius' lips tasted exactly like his mouth.
Licking at the kiss-swollen lips, Remus let out a small growl. The only logical answer to the mysterious taste came filtering in through the lust induced fog in his mind...
