Of Restless Nights in One-Night Cheap Hotels

Sirius and Remus were running through a muggle town looking for a cheap hotel to stay the night. It was pounding rain and Sirius and Remus were running under a newspaper to avoid getting soaking wet. It wasn't really working.

"Sirius," Remus shouted, "we need to get to a hotel! I'm freezing!"

Remus's clothes were shredded and he was covered in wounds. His hair was a mess, and he had dark circles under his eyes. He was bleeding from a couple places. It was the night after the full moon.

"I know Moony, I'm looking."

They ran for about another ten minutes, and then Remus pulled Sirius over into a little alcove.

Remus pointed at the sign and said, "I found a hotel."

They hurried in to a small lobby. There was a small TV playing some movie that had a boy that looked just like James with green eyes. Around the TV were a couple wooden chairs and a floral loveseat. Next to that, there was a little wooden desk with a man behind it. On the wall, there was a picture of a flying horse, which was the name of the quaint little hotel.

The man behind the desk welcomed them in with a, "Oh, you boys must be freezing. Come, come, let me find you some rooms."

He flipped through a little book and said, "Ah, it seems we only have one room, is that fine with you boys?"

Remus looked at Sirius and said "Yes that will be okay."

"Then could you please follow me?"

Remus and Sirius had gotten into the room and immediately noticed that there was only one bed.

Remus, as always, immediately volunteered for the floor, "I'll take the floor Sirius."

"No you won't. I'll do it. You're hurt, you take the bed."

"Siriu-"

"No Remus, you take the bed."

"Okay, thanks." Remus didn't actually think he could take sleeping on the floor.

Sirius and Remus got ready for bed and went to sleep.

"Goodnight Remus." said Sirius sleepily from the floor.

"Goodnight Sirius." said Remus, turning off the light.

Remus couldn't go to sleep. Being this close to Sirius after three years brought back memories of how much he had loved the other boy during his school years. But that had changed now. He had thought. He sighed and role over again. To bad Sirius didn't love him too

Sirius heard the other boy roll over again and again and again. He also heard Remus sigh quite a few times. He wondered what was bothering him. Sirius sighed too. He couldn't be this close to Remus again and not remember how much he had loved him during school. Oh well. To bad that Remus didn't love him as well.

He heard Remus sigh again and decided to ask what was wrong. He got up and sat at the foot of Remus's bed.

"Remie?"

Remus sat up and said, "Yes Sirius?"

"What are you thinking about? I mean, you kept sighing, is their something wrong?" asked Sirius.

"Yah, Sirius, there is." sighed Remus again.

"Wanna tell me?" asked Sirius gently.

Remus considered what he was asking and choose his word carefully.

"Sirius, have you ever been in love with someone who you know doesn't love you" Remus said after a moment.

'Oh, great,' thought Sirius, 'He's not only not it love with me, he's in love with someone else'

"Yes," was all that Sirius actually said.

"Do you ever wish that they would realize you love them, but you don't want to tell them?"

"Everyday. Right now, actually," Sirius said, and then realizing what had just slipped out.

Meanwhile, gears were turning in Remus's head. Then something clicked. Was Sirius saying that he liked him? No, no that couldn't be true. Could it? It couldn't hurt to ask. Or could it?

"Sirius, are you saying what I think your saying?" asked Remus in a low whisper?

"Well it depends…."

And then Sirius kissed him. Not a pressing, demanding kiss, but a sweet, gentle, and passionate kiss. Remus and Sirius were both thinking, 'Oh God, finally!'

"…is that what you were thinking?"

"Yes, happily." responded Remus, the happiest man on earth.
