A/N: So we decided that you had waited long enough, so we're posting chapter 5 a day early :) We hope you like it.

Zayhad has made a lovely piece of art for this one - go to her deviantart account. It's in the folder named "Every Breath You Take" at the very bottom (left).


Chapter 5 – I Want You

It was only a ten minutes' walk back to the apartment. The temperature was rather high and the cicadas were chirping away happily. "It sure is hot tonight," said Regulus.

"Yeah," said Remus, running a hand through his hair. "Good thing the AC is working in the apartment now. Otherwise we wouldn't get any sleep tonight." Remus drew in a breath of air and closed his eyes for a moment. His head was buzzing from the alcohol; he didn't know why he had drunk so much. He rarely did. He didn't like the feeling of losing control of himself.

Regulus locked the door when they got back, knowing the others had a key. When he turned around, he found Remus standing just a few feet from him, eying him like a puppy begging for scraps. Regulus suddenly grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him in for a greedy kiss. He was rock hard and pressed himself against Remus to let him know it. Sober, he would never have been this forward, but although only slightly intoxicated it was enough to send his inhibitions out the window. He had been attracted to Remus for so long and had walked around him every day doing nothing about it.

Remus let out a surprised gasp but then slung his arms around Regulus' waist, clinging to him desperately, and opened his mouth to welcome Regulus' aggressive tongue. Remus had not picked up on the Brit being gay until that day, and here he was, kissing him like there was no tomorrow.

Letting go of neither Remus' shirt nor lips Regulus walked him down the hall until they reached the first room (Regulus'), into which he pushed him. There he let go of him for a moment to lock the door behind them.

Remus was on him in an instant, pressing the younger boy against the door, attacking his neck with lips and tongue, teeth scraping over smooth skin, while pushing his hips forward into him. Regulus' head tilted back, bumping against the door as his eyes rolled back in their sockets. "Bloody hell, Remus," he gasped in a wanton tone as he curled his fingers in a handful of Remus' hair.

Remus dipped his head to the crook of Regulus' neck. In his arousal he was about to just rip the boy's shirt open, wanting to suck and lick the entire length of that sexy collarbone, but then hesitated, not wanting to ruin the blue shirt that suited Regulus better than any other piece of clothing Remus had seen him in; so he quickly fumbled the two top buttons open, enough to allow him to push the fabric off Regulus' shoulder so he could ravish the beforementioned clavicle. He could hear Regulus' breathing quicken as Remus licked and sucked on his heated skin. Wanting more, Remus pushed Regulus' shirt up and with the boy's help pulled it over his head. He stared at the exposed chest, for a moment. "Holy… you're gorgeous," he exclaimed, and let his hands roam the skin, smooth and absolutely perfect. Then he slowly sank to his knees, lips trailing down Regulus' chest to his flat belly.

"F-fuck," gasped Regulus, his hips bucking forward in search of friction.

"Oh God, Regulus… I want you!" whimpered Remus, lips against the boy's stomach.

Regulus stopped moving, then said in a husky voice. "Then take me."

Remus' mind blanked out for a second. Then he got to his feet, eyes meeting Regulus' blazing gaze. "Bed," he croaked.

Regulus obeyed, throwing himself on the bed, quickly kicking off his shoes on the way there. Shimmying out of his jeans, he watched Remus undress himself in haste, his eyes not leaving Regulus for a second. Naked, save for his boxers, Remus jumped onto the bed, his head immediately pulled down by Regulus for a new round of vigorous kissing, hands roaming each other's bodies. When Remus' hand slipped into Regulus' boxer briefs and closed around the hardened shaft, Regulus bucked up into the touch, raking his nails down Remus' side.

Remus dipped his head to suck on Regulus' neck and shoulder, enjoying the little sounds that escaped the boy's mouth as Remus' wrist did a small twist and smoothed a thumb over the leaking tip.

"Oh... oh, God," gasped Regulus. "Remus - do you have lube and condoms?"

Remus looked up, excitement rushing over him. "In my room. You wanna go that far?"

"Yes – I want you so badly!"

Remus stumbled to his own room to get the things, nearly falling off the bed in his eagerness. Meanwhile, Regulus toed off his socks and positioned himself on the bed to look as tempting as he could while stroking himself languidly.

Remus stopped in the door and gulped when he saw the Brit poised on the bed. So sexy and beautiful, every inch of his naked body as perfect as his face. He quickly locked the door again and hurried over to the bed. "You teased me when you walked half-naked through the house," he said as he crawled in over Regulus. "Made me want you so bad I could barely control myself."

"Really?" smirked Regulus. "I didn't think of that at all..."

"I bet you didn't," said Remus and sat up to pour some lube into his palm. Then he leaned in to kiss Regulus' neck while slipping slicked-up fingers between his buttocks.

"Hey!" said Regulus, sitting up. "Who says I'm bottoming?"

"I just thought…" said Remus, a little baffled. "You don't wanna?"

"Is it because I'm younger?"

"I dunno," said Remus, looked slightly nervous. Had he offended Regulus so that he would back out? "It's just a vibe I got from you, I reckon, but you can top if you wanna."

"No, it's fine," said Regulus. "I'll bottom. Just get on with it!"

Relieved, Remus lay down next to him, getting on with the preparation while they kissed fervently, getting their juices flowing again.

"Enough," said Regulus after a few minutes, impatient to get going.

Remus sat back and quickly rolled on a condom while staring at the boy lying on display below him. He was still unable to grasp how someone this gorgeous was giving himself to him so willingly. He positioned himself between Regulus' thighs and looked at his face for approval before gently pushing in, making sure that Regulus got a chance to accommodate. He wasn't sure how used to it he was.

Regulus gritted his teeth. It had been quite a while since he had last been with Barty, but he didn't want to come off as inexperienced, so he didn't let on. Remus was gentle and considerate, however, so it wasn't so bad. Regulus kissed him eagerly, running his hands up and down his back. "Move," he said a bit later when the lust was flooding back as the pain ebbed away.

Eternally grateful, Remus started rocking back and forth softly but quickly picked up the pace as Regulus spurred him on by meeting his every thrust vigorously.

"Bloody hell," gasped Regulus when Remus angled himself just right, making his entire body bubble with pleasure. The American certainly knew what he was doing. Regulus and Barty had had zero experience when they started out together. Remus, of course, must have had a good deal of experience, being both older and having had several boyfriends. Regulus pressed his head back into the pillow as he canted his hips to meet Remus' increasingly vigorous thrusts. He grabbed a hold of his own cock and started jerking it quickly, both because he really needed to get off and because something in Remus' breathing told him that he was getting close.

"Oh God, Regulus," Remus groaned as he looked down between them to see the other boy stroking himself in time with Remus' rough thrusts. He quickly looked up again because he knew he was going to come if he kept watching, and he didn't want to leave Regulus behind; but the sight of Regulus' face, a picture of utter pleasure: eyes half-lidded, jaw slack, and lips parted, was even worse. "I'm gonna –" was all he managed before the unstoppable orgasm ripped through him as his hips snapped forward harder and faster. Fortunately, he managed to keep thrusting just long enough for Regulus to reach climax as well, heels dug into Remus' buttocks, his release spurting out between them.

They lay there gasping for breath for a while until Remus rolled off and onto his back. Regulus wiped his forehead. His hair was soaked with sweat. "Should've turned on the AC first, yeah?" he laughed.

"Yeah," smiled Remus and rolled onto his side, kissing Regulus' cheek. "Wow... you were really... wow. You're the hottest guy I ever slept with." He smiled and kissed him again before laying his head down on the pillow. "You were very quiet," he said after a moment. "Even when you talked, you were whispering."

"I lived at a boarding school, remember?" explained Regulus. He sighed. Now that it was over, he was a bit embarrassed with himself. He had acted like a horny schoolboy. The alcohol had obviously made him forget all about self-control. He wiped his stomach and decided to get up and go to the kitchen to get some water and turn on the AC. He came back and handed Remus a glass as well.

"Thank you," said Remus and sat up, drinking all the water in one go. Then he noticed that Regulus looked a little uncomfortable. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah... Why wouldn't I be?" said Regulus and lay back down on the bed. "Just sweating my bum off."

Remus couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong but decided to let it go for now. He lay back down beside Regulus and sighed. "Why haven't you told your brother that you're gay? He would be fine with it, you know he would. They all would."

"Nobody knows, except my ex, and I would like it to stay that way. My family would not be pleased. So what just happened stays between you and me."

"Okay," said Remus and bit his lip. "So... what about us? Was this a one-time thing, or…?"

Regulus sighed. "I don't know. Do we have to make wedding plans?" he asked a little irritably.

"Of course not," said Remus, feeling a little hurt. He had hoped that Regulus would be friendlier after such an intimate moment. He rolled onto his back and looked up at the ceiling.

"Listen - you best go to your own room before the others come back," said Regulus. "Sorry I'm so secretive, but I'm just not ready to come out yet."

"I understand," said Remus and sat up. He then leaned down and kissed Regulus gently on the lips. "I will, however, look forward to the day that you are, so that you and I can sleep together without worrying." He then got off the bed, collected his clothes, and left the room.

Regulus got up as well, put clean sheets on the bed, and went into the bathroom to take a shower. On his way back the front door suddenly opened and Peter stumbled in with the brunette who had made Remus jealous; both rather drunk. Regulus cursed himself for not having bothered to dress and now stood only with a small towel around his waist.

Peter stopped. The girl was hanging on him and giggling as she spotted Regulus. "Hey, handsome. Wanna join for a threesome?" she slurred.

Peter put up a sour expression and dragged the girl with him to his room and closed the door.

Before Regulus could move, Sirius came in with the pixie-haired blonde. He eyed his little brother. "A bit late for a bath, yeah?" he commented and took a swig from the bottle he had in his free hand.

"Well, it's so bloody hot here! I needed to freshen up. You know I hate being sweaty. Well, if this isn't a whore house tonight... Why didn't Potter bring Evans over? Could have been fun," said Regulus sarcastically.

Sirius stuck out his chin. "Just because you aren't getting laid tonight that doesn't mean it has to affect the rest of us. It's your own fault. You had plenty of options."

Regulus snorted. If only Sirius knew.

Sirius took the girl to his room and slammed the door shut as a statement to Regulus to mind his own business, and it didn't take long before the girl's giggles were replaced by moans. Clearly this girl was not shy.

Ten minutes later there was a knock on Remus' door. When he said 'yes?', Regulus stepped in and closed the door behind him. He sat down at the foot of Remus' bed and grumbled, "I can't sleep. Birds sure make a lot of noise when they're shagging..." Regulus had never heard girls have sex before. Had never heard anyone else have sex, actually, and he found it rather awkward.

Remus sat down beside Regulus and looked at him. "I've gotten pretty used to it by now but I gotta admit this girl is really loud. I wouldn't be surprised if Sirius compliments himself in the morning."

Regulus laughed. "Yes, he's going to tease Peter with being able to satisfy his bird better. By the way, Peter's bird invited me to a threesome when they came in," he added, just to tease Remus.

"Did she, now?" said Remus with raised eyebrows. "And I hope I satisfied you enough for you to decline."

"I just thought it would be awkward sleeping with two of my flat mates. And Peter isn't exactly my type."

"I would hope not. We aren't very alike," smiled Remus and let his hand caress Regulus' knee while leaning in for a kiss.

"Well," said Regulus, quickly getting to his feet, dodging the kiss. I'll go to bed. See you in the morning."
