They rode for hours, it must have been nearly four in the morning when Sirius slowed Romeo down to a slow walk. Remus was holding tightly onto his waist, shivering behind him.
"Remus..."
"Y-yes?"
"Are you alright?"
Remus nuzzled Sirius' back. "I'm tired...and cold...But I'm okay." he shivered some more, teeth chattering. "I'll be fine."
Sirius sighed. "No you won't. I'm I can find an Inn somewhere to stay the night."
Remus' arms tightened around him "Where are we headed anyway?"
"To scottland."
"What's in Scottland?"
"A friend of mine. Albus Dumbledore. He was my private tutor in magic since I was 11...But before that he was pretty much the man who raised me. I had a sort of...attitude problem when I was young and he taught me to control my anger and...Anyway he's headmaster of a wizarding school in scottland-"
"Hogwarts. I...I always wanted to go. I couldnt because of...Because of what I am."
Sirius nodded. "I wanted to go too."

It was sunrise by the time they found an Inn. It was shabby and rundown but they didn't care. Sirius had a decent amount of gold in his pocket and was able to pay extra for a stall in the Unicorn barn outback for Romeo. They were brought to a room with one queen size bed and a bathroom with a shower. Sirius closed and locked the door and Remus sat on the bed, legs drawn to his chest and arms wrapped around himself.
Sirius sat next to him and pulled him into an embrace. They stayed like that for a long time. It took Sirius a moment to realize Remus was crying against his chest.
"Sh...What is it, love?"
"N-nothing...I just...i'm tired and I'm...I'm scared Sirius. We're in the middle of nowhere, your family is probably looking for us...I could have been dead by now and...I miss my mum and dad..."
"What happened to them?"
Remus pulled away slightly.
"It's okay...you don't have to answer."
"I'm so scared, Sirius..." Remus' voice shook. Sirius cupped his face and brushed away his tears with his thumb. "It's okay. We're going to be fine." he kissed Remus' lips. Remus kissed him back and laid back on the bed bringing Sirius on top of him. When they parted for air Sirius smiled comfortingly. "Let's get some rest, love."
Remus nodded. "okay."
Sirius rolled off him and pulled the blanket back. They both got under and moved close to each other. "Goodnight, Remus."
Remus nuzzled his neck and was silent.
Just as Sirius was starting to feel the heaviness of sleep, Remus said in a soft whisper. "It was an accident."
"What?"
"A muggle car accident. That's what killed my parents...My mum was a muggle...my dad was a wizard...after they died i went to my uncle and then to the Malfoy's slave ship...but I never wanted to be part of the muggle world again...because of what happened..."
"I'm sorry..."
"Yes...so am I."
Then there was silence and they let sleep take them.
