A/N: Okay, here's the third chapter. It will make you blush, so beware. Full with more misunderstandings and slight embarrassment. It's fairly short, but sweet. Tee hee, you'll love it. Oh, and by the way, I'm working on a new story! It hasn't been named yet but it's my first time turner fic, but it's not a marauder time period, but a Tom Riddle time period. And I've just got a live journal page as well, and there are a couple teasers. Hi Perry! Review people!

Chapter 3: Damn Double Beds!

The Room of Requirement seemed to think Remus was being too shy around Lily. Needless to say, Remus disagreed. When he opened the door that had materialized before the two of them, he found a big double bed in a room lit by candles and a roaring fire. Mortified, he swung the door shut, and backed up into her.

"What is it?" she asked as he pulled her up off the floor. He could feel himself blushing. Stupid room, stupid, stupid room! What's it playing at, he thought.

"Um nothing, it just didn't work, let me try again." She raised her brow but moved out of his way as he paced up and down the corridor. I need a place where Lily and I can sleep, some place to just spend the night with no funny business, just to rest, he thought, praying that he would find two twin beds when he opened the door. Predictably, he found the same room. He let a frustrated wolfish snarl escape and Lily leaned over his shoulder to peek at the room.

"What's wrong?" she asked again.

"It's not doing what I'm asking," he responded.

"It's fine, Remus, we're just spending the night." He understood what she was trying to convey, and he stepped into the room hesitantly. She gasped as she entered, but didn't say anything. She pulled off her shoes as he conjured up a sleeping bag.

"Wait, what are you doing?" she asked quizzically as he magicked (A/N: sp?) some pillows. "You can sleep up here, nothing's going to happen." She patted the bed beside her, and then realized how sluttish that must seem. "It doesn't mean anything," she added. He looked anxious but banished the sleeping bag and pulled off his socks and shoes. Lily stripped down to a camisole and her skirt, and then conjured a nightgown. He turned around as she slipped it on and crawled under the covers, staying on her side of the bed. Then she levitated her dropped clothing onto a chair that sat by the fireplace, leaving Remus' robe on the top.

He nervously pulled off his shirt to reveal a simple sleeveless cotton undershirt, and he pulled off his pants, his hands shaking as he had never undressed when in the presence of someone else, to show a simple pair of black boxers with the phases of the moon on them. Then he folded his clothing and stacked them on the floor beside the bed. The jittery teen then slipped in beside his five-year-long crush. The candles that floated around them immediately extinguished, and the only light came from the now calm fire.

"Well, that's kind of creepy," he commented. She laughed and rolled over onto her side to face him. Her hair framed her face perfectly and her eyes looked amazingly bright in the dark room.

"It will get better, won't it Remus?" He didn't know, but assumed so. James might stay mad but he had no proof that anything had ever happened, and Sirius wouldn't hold a grudge.

"I hope so, Lily, I really do." Sinking into the pillow, he brushed his hair away from his eyes and met her gaze. He suddenly didn't feel sleepy anymore, not one bit. A small smile crept across his face, and she returned it. Even though they had been pushed out of their beds and were hiding from their friends, they both savored the moment.

"You're such a good friend, Remus," she whispered. His smile became fake. She thought of him as a friend, just a friend, nothing more. For a while he had thought she might feel the same way as he did, but apparently that had been wishful thinking. Then she rolled away from him, and he stared at the ceiling. Ouch, he did his best to sleep, but it didn't come for a while.

Lily realized what she had said a moment too late. She didn't want to be friends! She really wanted to be Mrs. Lily Lupin! She could see the hurt spread across his face, but she couldn't take it back. Crap crap crap crap crap! In a stare of horror, she rolled over before she said anything else. He rustled around behind her, and neither said a word, but they both stayed awake for a while, until they both drifted off.

James lay in his bed, fuming as he watched the Marauder's Map by wand light. Remus' dot was still lying in the common room and Lily was in her dorm. James was sure he had never been that livid in his life, and he really wanted to go down there and kick Moony in the stomach, but Sirius was watching to make sure he stayed where he was, fuming over his ex-friend's betrayal.

"Do you really think he fooled around with her?" Padfoot asked quietly. He struggled to control the frustration and stress that bubbled up inside him.

"She was wearing his cloak, Jesus Sirius, of course they did!" he said, his voice several decibels too high. His friend nodded vaguely.

"Is that enough proof though?" James watched as Lily walked to the door of her room.

"It's totally obvious they did something! Then she kissed him on the cheek!" he exclaimed. Sirius looked doubtful, so James looked down at the map. Lily wasn't in her dorm but in the common room next to Remus! "She's with him now!" he said, stabbing at the map with his wand. "Little bastard," he muttered murderously, getting up and running/walking to the door. Sirius met him halfway and tugged on his arm.

"Stop Prongs, there's nothing going on and you know it!" he said, pulling him back to his bed and leaning over the map. "Moony's probably still out cold, you nearly strangled him." James settled down next to him and watched as the two dots began to move.

"See, they're going somewhere! How can you deny it Padfoot? Remus is not our friend!" Sirius watched as the two dots walked out into the hallway and moved quickly down the hall. "Where are thy going?" he said, his voice strangled. Sirius had to admit he had no idea what Remus was doing. His friend had always been fairly secluded, and was never one to kiss-and-tell, but he confided everything to the Marauders. He wouldn't lie to his friends. The dots circled around a doorway for a few minutes, before disappearing off the map.

"The room of requirement," Sirius muttered as James moaned and put his head in his hands.

"See? They've made it unplottable so they can bop each other! That little slut!" Sirius gasped, James never insulted Lily.

"Jesus James, chill!" He went back to his bed and lay down. "WE can find them in the mourning and get an explanation." He blew out his candles and went to sleep in his clothes. James did his best to fade as well, but couldn't, much like his friends in the room of requirement.

A/N: Okay, want a teaser?

"You're really cute when you wake up," she whispered, blushing madly.

Tootles!
