Speaking "Dun Dun Dun"

Thinking 'Ding Ding Ding'

7:15 pm

Okay, call me crazy but I think this guy is just slightly late, wouldn't you agree? I mean, I can tolerate someone being I don't know, say five minutes late, but 20 minutes? I really think this guy is pushing it! In fact, if he doesn't show up in the next five minutes then I swear I'm leaving.

Guess I should recap? Well, let me see, I'm here, all alone in the park waiting for my 'date' to arrive, the 'date' that my dear friends James and Lily set up for me, and my date is late!

Suddenly I hear someone humming to a tune I recognise, its A-HA's new song, 'Analogue'. I stand up and turn around, and see Sirius Black, of all people standing before me in tight black leather pants and a black top with red lines all over it.

He looks up at me and smiles, his eyes lighting up with recognition.

"Hey! You go to Orange Star High School, don't you? I'm sure I've seen you around! What's your name, mate? I'm Sirius, pleased to meet you!" Sirius outstretches his hand out to me which I numbly shake.

"I'm Remus Lupin." I reply.

"So you're the guy who's supposed to be my blind date? Ah cool, Jamsie's got good taste!" He grins at me.

"YOU'RE my date?" I ask incredulously.

"Um yea, why? Were you expecting someone else?"

I feel all hot and I just know there's a blush on my face. "Um, no, its not that, I'm just surprised that's all."

"Oh, that's alright then." Sirius breathes a sigh of relief. "I was beginning to think you didn't like me!" He laughs jokingly.

"Oh no, nothing like that." I say hastily.

"So then, you got anything planned?"

"Nah, not really." I shrug.

Sirius's whole face lights up and he claps his hands together. "That's excellent! I heard there's this wicked fair going on, we can go there! If you want to, that is." He adds on, looking slightly embarrassed.

I laugh at him and his face expression. "Yea sure, why not?"

"Excellent!" Sirius grabs my hand and starts running down the street, me running after him, both laughing for some reason.

It was at this moment that I thought; maybe this date wouldn't be so bad.

Sirius's P.O.V

I gotta say, this kid is cool. I mean, the only reason I agreed to this whole 'blind date' thing was to get James off my back and prove that I wasn't a chicken. After seeing Remus, I think I made the right choice.

I mean, look at him! He's gorgeous! What with his pale face and tawny hair framing his face and light hazel eyes. Plus, he's got such a small, slight build, one that would fit perfectly with my body, I just know it! Plus, he seems really smart; I bet he loves reading books as well.

"So," I start conversing with Remus. "Do you like reading?"

He looks up with a slightly surprised look on his face, ehehe, bet he didn't expect that one!

"Yeah, I really enjoy books actually. My dad once told me that you can tell what a person's like and what their views our just from reading their book. Plus, I find books really interesting. What are you smiling about?"

"Oh, its nothing, I just kinda figured you'd like reading books."

"Oh really?" He delicately raises his eyebrow at me, and his mouth curves into a half smile.

"Oh, let me guess? You don't read much do you?"

I grin widely at that.

"Ah ha! You're wrong! Contrary to popular belief, I do actually enjoy reading, mainly books by authors such as Eoin Colfer, Philip Pullman and fantasy/serious life themed books, that sort of thing."

"Oh. Sorry." He gives me another half smile.

I laugh at that. "Hey, nothing to be sorry about! Its okay, lots of people make that mistake!"

We walk in silence for a bit till we get to the fair, where I promptly drag him into the queue, buying two tickets.

"Hey!" he tries protesting as I pay for his ticket. "I can pay for my own!"

"I know you can Remus, but I want to pay for yours. All right?"

Remus gets a kinda flustered look on his face before replying with a mumbled "Kay."

"Hey, look at that wolf teddy! It's really cute isn't it?"

I look to where Remus is pointing at and see a games booth, where you have to throw a ball at a bunch of glasses and try to knock 'em all down.

"You really like it?" I ask Remus seriously.

"Yea, it's adorable!"

"Well come on then!" I drag him to the booth.

"What are you doing?" he questions me.

"Winning it for you, silly!"

Before he can protest I pay the booth guy and get three balls, and manage to knock all the glasses down with one ball to spare. The man grumbles and gives me the wolf, which I promptly shove into Remus's arms.

"Happy?" I grin at him.

"You shouldn't have Sirius; I could have gotten it myself. But, thank you." He finishes off, looking rather hesitant.

"Its all right, I love treating people! After all, if I have so much money, I might as well spend it on the people I care about!"

I smile as I see him trying to hide his blush from me, and not succeeding.

"Well come on then! Let's go on some rides!" I grab his arm and pull him along with me to all the best rides in the park.

We spent ages in the park and we were both walking home, when I proposed an idea.

"Hey, do want to go to the park for a bit?" I ask him, slightly shyly.

"Oh, um sure."

"So, how did you find today?" I ask him, eager to find out if he enjoyed himself with me or not.

"It was fun." A smile graces his angelic face.

"Ah, that's good! I was hoping you would enjoy it!" I breathe a sigh of relief.

He likes me! He likes me! Woo hoo!

"Want to go on the swings?" Remus asks me.

"Yea, sure."

Sitting in the swings, I begin to rock back and forth slowly, and see him doing the same.

"The night looks so pretty right now, I love this time of night, when the sky is a dark shade of blue, almost black and the stars are all out, along with the moon. It's so… ethereal."

I look over to Remus and see him gazing at the sky softly, almost in wonderment.

I smile softly at him. "Yea, it's beautiful." I say, and I'm not just talking about the sky either.

He looks absolutely stunning on the swing, his profile cast by moonlight, his light brown hair falling in front of his face and his face holding such a peaceful, calm look, no signs of stress or anything.

"I better get going now, its getting pretty late." Remus speaks softly.

"I'll come with you, I'll drop you off." I offer, jumping off the swing, offering my arm to him.

Remus clings his arm with mine and we walk down the street and to his house like that, clinging arms.

"You know what?"

"What?" I look at Remus intently.

"You're not so bad. I mean, at first I thought this date was going to be a disaster and then I saw you and thought you'd be like all the other jocks, rude and hurtful. But you're not, in fact, you're pretty decent, plus, you're kind and fun to be around." Remus smiles at me, and I can't help but to smile back at him.

"Ah, thanks Remus. I knew you'd be a nice person right from the start, I could just tell. So what do you say to another date?" God, I hope he agrees!

"'I'd like that." Remus ducked his head low, and I laugh softly, not a malicious laugh, a genuine, friendly laugh.

I bring his face up to mine with my fingers and stare deep into his amber eyes, watching the flecks of gold dance in the moonlight. I inch in closer to him and kiss him softly, gently, a mere touching of lips and then kiss his forehead gently, moving back and seeing my Remus with his eyes closed.

"Goodnight Remus." I wave a hand in farewell and watch as he opens his eyes and smiles, touching his lips.

"Goodbye Sirius"

I smile at him and turn around, walking towards my house, a feeling of contentment and happiness filling me in what seems like ages.

I really like Remus, and I'm going to do my best to make sure I have him, and be able to look after him forever.

TBC.

First off, I owe you all a HUGE apology, as I've well and truly took the mick in updating this fic. I'm not making excuses, but I think it's because I've just been really caught up in the wedding, and then going back to school and having coursework and exams…

Just to make up for it, I wrote an EXTRA long chapter! So I hope you all enjoyed it!
