Today I came home from school and had a wonderful birthday surprise waiting for me. That's sarcasm, btw. I think the conversation went like this:

Me: I'm home from school and have to write, go away.

Mom: But, you have to go to the doctor's office and get a shot.

Me: … What? (in a slightly angry tone)

Mom: You need to get a shot. Go get ready.

Yep, that's how it went. Now my arm is buzzing and I think it's about to fall off. Oh, well. I'll try and write this anyways.

Genre: Romance/Humor

Pairing: Remus/Sirius, also James/Lily

Warning: Slash

Plot: Sirius does NOT like the idea of Remus with a girl.

Spoilers: Werewolves… yeah.

Possessio

Remus Lupin was not feeling well. His stomach twisted as he looked down at his food with disgust. What if Sirius was lying to him? Or worse, what if he was telling the truth? That was just too tempting for Remus, so he decided to go with the first scenario.

So, Sirius Black was lying. Yes, that was good enough; Sirius always lied. Why would this case be any different?

"Are you okay, Moony?" Remus nodded in reply as he made room for James.

"Just fine, thanks."

Remus frowned as his friends stared disbelievingly at him. "Really," he added.

The other boys turned their attention back to the food that was on their plates. Remus tried to do the same, but found it hard. His stomach threatened to empty every last bit of food he had eaten in the past twenty-four hours, which was not a lot, Remus had to admit.

James had finished his first helping and was about to dig in when he felt a pressure on his shoulder. He looked down to find Remus burying his face into it.

"Moony? Remus, are you sure you're alright?"

The response was muffled. James put his hand to Remus's forehead, but withdrew it quickly.

"Cor, Siri, he's burning up! We need to get him to Pomfrey, and quickly!"

Sirius was already out of his seat with one of Remus's arm slung around his neck.

"What are you waiting for, Prongs? Get up!"

James was up quickly, too, and soon the three were headed towards the infirmary.

"Siri?" Remus whispered in a soft voice.

"Shh, Remus. I'm here." Sirius noted his friend's hard gaze. "Oh, yeah. James too."

"Put me down." Again, it came in a whisper, but Remus's commanding voice was still there. Sirius sighed and wrapped an arm around Remus's waist.

"Absolutely not. We're taking you to the nurse. You're sick."

"Am not."

"Are too." James added helpfully. Sirius glared at him.

"Hush, Moony. Don't complain. It'll only be for a while, then we can get you back to dinner and you'll be all fixed up for your date tomorrow.

Sirius's heart quickened when Remus nuzzled into his chest and groaned. Stupid hearts, he thought quietly, convinced Remus could hear it pounding through, why do we need them again?

By the time they reached the infirmary, Remus was half-asleep. The two boys set him down on a cot as Madame Pomfrey hurried towards them.

"Oh, dear. Oh, dear." She chanted quietly while she cast a quick spell over Remus. The werewolf's eyes slowly fluttered closed, and his breathing grew heavier.

"Have you been having any wild parties, boys?" The nurse asked Sirius and James. They looked at her incredulously.

"No, ma'am. Not us." It was actually true.

"Well, Mr. Lupin here has suffered from severe sleep deprivation. Any guesses why?"

James froze. He always knew Remus worried too much, but had it really gone this far? His plan would have to work tomorrow, for everyone's sake.

"Stress, maybe?" Sirius offered, shrugging. His eyes held a worried glint as they scanned the sleeping boy's figure.

Madame Pomfrey gave a sharp nod and turned back to Remus. "You can take him back to the dorm, if you want. I'm sure he'll stay asleep."

The boys nodded and lifted Remus carefully.

"We'll take turns carrying him," James suggested. Sirius sighed as James lifted Remus off the bed.

"Oh," Sirius heard James exclaim. He smirked.

"What is it, Jamsie? Remus too heavy for you?"

"No, he's too… light. It's like he doesn't weigh a thing."

Sirius's smirk was wiped off his face. "Let me hold him!"

"No way! I've got Remus now; you'll have to wait your turn!"

"That's not fair!"

Both boys screwed their mouths shut as Remus whimpered something into James's robes. Sirius blushed and cursed loudly.

"Aww, isn't that cute? Remus wants his Sirius."

"Shut up James, this isn't funny. Liking him is really taking a toll on me. It totally stinks."

James nodded. "I know what you mean."

He rolled his eyes as Sirius looked at him, aghast. "I wasn't talking about liking Remus, you git. I was talking about Evans."

"Oh."

They walked the rest of the way to the dorm in silence. Peter was already up there by the time they arrived; dinner had been over for a while.

All three of them went to bed after explaining to Peter why Remus was out cold. Thoughts circled gently in their heads as they snuggled into their Gryffindor sheets.

Remus Lupin thought of how nice it was to finally get some sleep (Subconsciously, of course).

Peter Pettigrew thought of ways he could get away with stealing a few sugar quills from Honeyduke's for that nice Hufflepuff girl.

Sirius Black though of Remus. Oh, and himself, of course. Remus and himself.

James Potter thought, or more like prayed, that his plan would go well tomorrow. There were many more things at stake, now.

To Be Continued

A/N: I think that was pretty good, if I don't say so myself. Maybe I should get a shot more often. Or not.

Yep, there goes my arm.

Request box is still open! It will close Friday! Thank you to all who have reviewed!

Story will most likely finish on Saturday, which is my birthday!
