Like Rabbits.

"I'm going to marry Lily Evans, one day," announced James upon joining his friends in their dorm room.

"Oh yes, James! And by the end of the year, I'll be busy shagging wee Remmiekins and doing my homework."

"Less of the wee Remmiekins if you don't mind... Sirikins," commented Remus, not lifting his eyes from his book for a second.

"Sirikins! What sort of a name is that for a handsome, loveable rogue, like me!"

"Rather suitable, if you ask me."

"Oh! Well, did I ask you Rem, did I?"

"Yes, I believe you did."

"What? I did not!"

"I think you'll find, you did."

"Not"

"Yes, you really did."

"Not."

"Well, if you didn't then prove it"

"What? How"

"Well...first you admit defeat and then y-"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! I'm trying to talk to you about my future happiness, and all you two can do is argue like an old bloody married couple!" screeched James, desperately.

"Hey! We're not old, are we Remmiekins"

"Heavens forbid, Sirikins. And I don't think we're bloody either, at least not at the moment." At this point, their quiet eavesdropping room-mate looked up and before he could stop himself, said, "But, you're married?"

After a few minutes of outrageous laughter, Sirius composed himself enough to reply, "Of course! Don't you hear us at night? Remus tell him, aren't we always at it."

"Like rabbits... ehhh, loverboy."

With a wishful smile at Remus, and a raised eyebrow towards James, Sirius took one look at the shocked expression on Peters face and collapsed in a fit of giggles on Remus's bed.

"Sirius! You've made me lose my page."

Ignoring Remus's obvious frustration, Sirius continued on with his hysterics pausing only when James had walk over, sat on him and began talking.

"Lily Evans is incredible..."

"Oh, really?"

"Yes, Sirius..." he replied, dreamily, "She's so pretty, so smart, so lovely, so sexy – uh, especially when she's angry. Oh, I do love her"

"And she can't stand you"

"Actually," interrupted Peter, emboldened by his previous involvement in the boys conversation, "I think she could like you"

"And I like you, Petey Ole Chum, you're alright"

Rolling his eyes, Sirius crawled closer to Remus to whisper, "Only 'coz Petey Ole Chum is licking up to his ego." And then, Sirius settled down beside Remus, enjoying both the boy's stifled chuckle and his closeness. And it was in that moment, that moment full of utter contentment that Remus realised how attached he was becoming to Sirius. And while he lay peacefully beside the newly recognised object of his affection, Remus thought about a great many things; his growing feelings for Sirius, his hatred of lying to his friends every time the full moon came along, his fear that he might lose control of the wolf inside him and hurt someone.

But, Remus was saved from spending further time wallowing in the misery of his own contemplations. He felt a puff of warm, damp breath hitting his ear, turning to lecture the guilty party, Remus merely had one second to lock on the eyes off the offender before seeing their wide grin and being flung swiftly to the floor. Looking up, Remus could see Sirius peering over the edge of the bed with that same wide grin, as if taunting him. Remus smiled deviously back, clearly taking Sirius's grin as a challenge. In a matter of moments, the boys were tussling furiously on the ground, both determined to get the upper-hand and neither expecting their opponent to be so bloody tough.

"Hey guys, sorry to interrupt but I'm hungry. Let's go raid the kitchens for food."

"S'not raiding, the house elves are happy to feed us," panted Remus while pushing Sirius off himself.

"Not the point. C'mon let's go!"

"Bugger off James, we're busy," replied a breathless Sirius.

"Uggghh! You're all over each other! Ever heard of self-restraint?...obviously not. Hey Peter, wanna come and get fed with me? You can tell me more about how you think Lily Evans might like me."

With that, James confidently exited the room with an eager Peter bounding after him and the other two were left alone to have their own fun...

"Hey, Sirius?"

"Uh huh."

"Did you happen to notice how James only refers to Lily as Lily Evans?"

"Hah! It's pathetic, the way he's obsessed with her," Sirius snickered back.

"Oh, I don't really think so," said Remus, smiling wistfully, "It's sort of sweet and rather endearing, don't you think? To have someone so devoted to you, so completely smitten with you..."

"Hey, Remus?"

"Yes?"

"Well, I, well, I, I ahh...hey! Stop looking at me like that when I'm trying to tell you something"

"Looking at you like what!" came Remus's incredulous, snappy reply, but his voice soon faltered and he continued, guilty, "I mean, I'm sorry, Sirius."

"No. Don't you be sorry, what have you bloody well got to be sorry for, you dolt!"

"Right... Sorry."

"Remus! I'm being a prat, why are you sorry?"

"I don't quite know, sorry. Oh sorry, I didn't, sorry I mean oh so-"

"Oh, for Merlins sake, stop that!"

"Sirius?"

"Yeah."

"What was it you wanted to tell me, in anyways?"

"Nevermind."

"Oh, alright then."


Ahhhh... Chapter two, done.I knew I had to find a way to incorporate Peter into the story, he'll be necessary in chapters to come!
To reviewers, thank you! It's weird. I've never been reviewed by anyone other then my English teachers before, keep 'em coming!

Nothing to do with the story but, I've decided I want to get goldfish... Two of 'em. Called James and Dean. So, when I'm shouting at them, I can be all, "James, Deans! Behave yourselves"
James Dean. Now that's sex.
