Remus woke to find himself plastered onto a bed in the hospital wing, 'What the bloody hell is going on?' he thought to tired and dazed to really speak, after fumbling wordlessly for a few minutes, he realized it was simply the feeling of his head, which felt like a cinderblock, that was holding him down.

The young boy tried desperately to remember but the best he came up with was the memory of James flying towards him in a rage. Then the peices fell in place like a silent movie, Lily kissed him, in front of the whole school, and here was the cost, him lying in the infirmary. It was worth it.

He found his mind in a whirl not to mention his emotions were being thron about rudely. He understood Lily was James' object of affection, but then again, he hated the idea of her being with him. James was pushy and arrogant. Lily was soft, smart, and beautiful...She didn't deserve to be stuck with the pinhead.

Remus sighed heavily and refocused his thoughts 'It could never work, you're a werewolf. No one will never accept you on a romantic level at least. Maybe for a friendship, but nobody would want to kiss a monster.'

But realization dawned on him that maybe Lily would, maybe she could. But it was dismissed seeing as she could never be interested in him, the kiss had been friendly had it not? That's all it had been and that's all him and Lily could ever be. Friends.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lily always had a habit of bad timing, the kiss for example. Then there was this, interrupting a daydream of a sleepy werewolf. She studied him as he seemed lost in though about something that must be important and excrutiating to decide upon.

Was it selfish that Lily silently wished he was thinking about her?

"Um...Remus?" she asked softly coming up and standing next to his bed. Remus glanced up eyes wide in shock of being disturbed by this person in particular. "Oh, um, er, right. Lily, Can I help you?" he offered weakly flinching as the words came out, oh this was pathetic.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Oh, so he isn't horrible looking, Madame Pompfrey is amazing..' she mused smiling lightly before sitting in the cushioned chair at his bedside, "Actually. I think you might, You see I have this friend who's in a horrible dilemma..." Lily started smiling a little a faint blush staining her cheeks at where she was going with this.

"Oh really, maybe I can help." Remus chuckled softly, even though he was alarmed by the situation and where it was leading.

"That's what I was hoping for, because she's got a stalker like boy on her back all the time...making her life miserable. But you see that's not all, she thinks she's falling for someone else, someone really close to him and she isn't sure how he feels." she grumbled looking at the floor feeling like a fool for bringing it up in such an immature manner, but had no other ideas so this would have to do.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remus mentally kicked himself for playing along, he had almost talked himself out of Lily before, why was she being difficult? It was so hard to answer her he stammered anxiously beore calming down to force the words out, "Maybe she should give the stalker boy a chance and ignore the other boy.." he said weakly feeling like he had somehow managed to stab himself in the back.

'Oh that was smooth...of course she'll listen Hah...fat chance...' he battled mentally. 'But what if the other boy is Sirius...not me...oh I don't think I could take that...James is much better than Sirius,' he agreed dreading the thought of Lily with Sirius more than anything 'At least the kids would be beautiful' he joked sourly. "

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Urm..Remus? Are you okay you're really scaring me with that look on your face..." she asked nervously a somewhat sad look in her eyes at his words. "But that's not what I- I mean what my friend feels is right. Because when I mean that she's falling...I mean she's already in love, at least that's what she thinks." Lily said softly looking at her hands for a while before looking up at him. "I understand what you're saying..but you can't mean that."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remus stared at her in slight shock at the big turn that the conversation, the way she was looking at him he was sure that it had to be him that she was suggesting that she had fallen in love with, how he didn't know how, but it didn't seem to matter anymore. "Lily, I don't think I can give you anymore advice on this subject without being selfish." he admitted quietly sitting up in the bed and smiled a little even though it looked forced.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lily's face was covered with confusion quickly but she tried helplessly to cover it, "I'm sorry?" she offered weakly and reached out for his hand, drawing small circles in his palm nervously, "Remus, if you won't answer me. Or at least consider this, it will make me more miserable. I won't date James even if you pretend to not notice that I like you..." she grumbled a agitated smile on her face, "I don't know what else to do to make you understand..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That was music to his ears but somehow the last thing he wanted to hear... "Lily- I just...don't know if this will...well...work out between us." he said weakly, savoring the feeling of her touch on his hand. "Don't be upset, it's really not that I don't like you, there are just complications that you don't understand." the words had flown smoothly out of his mouth, he looked shocked at himself, he had never truely admitted that he had felt romantically for Lily, but here he was telling Lily he truely did care for her. Which was true, if that expalined the funny feeling he got in his stomach whenever she touched or smiled at him. If it was what he felt when James talked about a knew plan to win her heart, or when he woke up and wondered where Lily would sit at breakfast, and hope it was by him...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lily stared at him in disbelief shaking her head, "I don't understand...I guess you're right...I don't know why you're afraid of James I suppose..." she choked out staring at him her eyes smoldering as she pulled her hand away from his and glared briefly, if one thing she didn't enjoy...it was being rejected after she made such an intimate confession, "But maybe you're right...maybe it is hopeless.." she said coldly, "Just so you know, I'll get Sirius to deliver you're assignments if you're not out by lunch." Lily muttered turning on her heel and walking out forcefully, even though inside she was still reeling from what was possibly the worst thing he could have said.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remus stared at her helpless and without words, not believing he had seriously turned away the girl he had just admitted he had feelings for...He was just afraid it would gt out of control, James would tell his secret out of revenge, Lily let it slip, or worse started to hate him..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
