A/N: I enjoyed writing this chapter very much and it's the longest one so far, so I hope you guys like it!

Disclaimer: I own nothing…

I've been living with Sirius now for two days, and to my utter surprise Sirius is a completely different person. He's actually really fun to hang out with, and he likes to joke around a lot. Like the other day, Sirius hid the remote control just so I wouldn't change the channel while he went to the bathroom. I spent two whole minutes looking for it just to discover that he had it in his back pocket the entire time. I chased him around the small apartment after that, trying to retrieve the remote, yelling at him, while he laughed his ass off.

Today his friend came over, James Potter; he has unruly black hair, hazel eyes and round glasses. Him and Sirius are practically like brothers; they think alike, speak alike, even act alike. It's a wonder they don't live together, they get along so well.

I leave them to their own devises and head to my room to read a bit. After a few minutes, I hear a knock at the door, but push it to the back of my mind. That is until I hear my name. I sit up alert as foot steps grow closer and closer to my room.

oooooOOOooooo

Remus has been living with me for a while now, and it's been hell. Well actually no, that's a lie. Remus is really smart and helps out a lot around the house; he's easy to talk to and has a good sense of humor. But it's been super hard on me. For example, yesterday morning I woke up and Remus was reading in the living room. He looked so cute sprawled across the couch with his hair falling in his eyes, it took all of my self control not to pounce on the poor unsuspecting boy and have my wicked way with him.

I've finally come to terms with my feelings. I fancy Remus, but that doesn't make me gay! I don't care what you say, I'm not gay; I just happen to like Remus is all… (A/N: He's in denial)

I've been planning on questioning Remus, honest I have, but he seems so calm and at ease here, it's almost cruel to disturb him. I swear, eventually I'll get this assignment over and done with.

Anyways, James came over today to meet Remus. They got along well enough, but Remus soon left to get some peace and quite, I think me and James make more noise than he's use to. But Remus had only been gone for a few minutes when someone comes knocking at the door.

I open the door and come face to face with a pretty red head with bright green eyes. She smiles sweetly at me and I knit my eyebrows in confusion.

"Uh…can I help you?" I ask her.

"My name is Lily Evans; I'm here to see Remus." I look her up and down suspiciously. She's a tad old for Remus, heck she's got to be at least three years older than me, but I step aside and let her in anyways.

"I'll go get him…" I turn around to see James practically drooling over Lily. She might be too old for me and Remus but she's the perfect age for James. I smile wickedly and leave the room. I turn left when I reach the hall way and crouch down listening intently. I must have made a lot of noise coming over here because Remus walks out of his room looking puzzled at my current state on the floor.

"Sirius, what−" he starts to ask but I cut him off with a finger to my lips.

"Shhh!" I beckon him over and we peek into the other room. James is leaning awkwardly against the sofa looking at Lily while she stands motionless next to the coat hanger. I hear Remus gasps next to me.

"That's the woman who found me!" he whispers in my ear. "What's she doing here?"

"She's here to see you," I whisper back. "Now, shh!"

Lily shifts from one foot to the other and James nervously tries to flatten his messy hair. "So, what do you do for a living?" he asks trying to start a conversation. Lily looks up at him in mild amusement.

"I'm a crime scene investigator."

"Really, well what do you know, I'm a cop." James smiles and flashes his badge at Lily.

"You don't say…" She says unenthusiastically.

"Ouch" I mumble and Remus shakes his head. Lily sighs and checks her watch.

"So how do you know Remus?" asks James, Lily looks at him and raises an eyebrow. "I just meet him today, nice kid, really smart." Lily starts tapping her foot in annoyance, and I bite my lip.

"Sirius, he's dying out there!" whispers Remus. "I think we should go and save him before he makes an ass of himself." I nod my agreement and stand up straight. We walk out together and Lily smiles instantly when she sees Remus.

"Hello, Remus! I'm not sure if you remember me, I'm Lily Evans, but−" Remus smiles at her and extends his hand.

"Of course I remember you Ms. Evans." She shakes his hand, grinning.

"Would you like something to drink Ms. Evans?" I ask as Remus leads her to the sofa and sits down.

"No, thank you," she says and turns her attention back to Remus. "So how have you been? I'm sorry I didn't visit you in the hospital." Remus grows red and pats her hands politely.

"It's ok and I've been fine." I zone out on their conversation after that and instead avert my attention to James who's fidgeting next to me trying desperately to fix his hair. I chuckle softly at his futile attempts.

Half an hour later Lily gets up to leave. "Oh, here, Remus," she hands him a piece of paper from her pocket. "Give me a call when ever you'd like." Remus nods and leads her to the door. "It was nice meeting you Mister…" she looks at me questioningly.

"Sirius, Sirius Black."

"Nice meeting you Sirius." She smiles and looks to James. "And you are?"

"James Potter, at your service." James solutes her and Lily gives him a weird look.

"Right, James…" She turns back to Remus and gives him a hug, which he returns. "I'll see you around, ok, Remus?"

Remus opens the door for her and she steps out. "Drive safe!" he calls after Lily before closing the door.

"Oh my god, you guys, I think she totally wants me!" exclaims James before throwing himself on the couch.

"Uhh, I wouldn't say she wants you." says Remus, looking as dumbfounded as I feel.

"Of course she does! Did you see the way she smiled at me!"

"Um, she never smiled at you mate," I say and James frowns.

"Well…she called me by my first name!"

"Lily called everyone be their first name, I think she was being polite," responds Remus.

"You two sure know how to bring a guy down…" says James miserably.

"That's what we're here for." I say walking over to the fridge to get something to drink.

"It's ok James…" Remus pats his shoulder reassuringly, biting his lip in an attempt to stop himself from laughing.

"Wait!" yells James startling both Remus and I. "She gave you her number right?" he asks Remus.

"No, James! I can't do that!" He starts walking away and James falls to the knees.

"Please Remus! Please!" James begs.

"NO!" says Remus firmly. "If Lily wanted you to call her she would have given you her number." I chuckle at the image before me. I take one last sip of soda before placing it on the counter top.

"I've got an idea," both men look up at me. "How about we invite Lily somewhere, all four of us. That way James can have a second chance and she won't get suspicious." Remus seems to consider it and after a while he sighs and nods. James jumps to his feet and hugs Remus so tight I had to help him pry James off.

"Thanks you, thank you, thank you!" James grabs my head and plants a sloppy, wet kiss on my cheek. I cringe as he pulls away.

I wipe my cheek in disgust. "EW!" I glare angrily at James, a sheepish grin on his lips, while Remus laughs hysterically in the background.

oooooOOOooooo

We decided it was best if I called Lily and asked her if she would join us at the carnival that was in town today. She accepted my invitation, of course, and said she would meet us there. I later told Sirius and James.

"Splendid!" exclaims James. He's been spending a lot of time at the house but I don't mind, he's good company. "So I'll meet you guys there in a few hours." He starts walking towards the door.

"Wait, where are you going?" asks Sirius.

"I have to go get ready! I've got to look good for my woman!" He licks his thumb and runs it over his eyebrows. I roll my eyes and Sirius pretends to gag into the kitchen sink.

Pretty soon it's eight o'clock and I'm shouting at Sirius telling him to hurry up.

"Would you leave your damn hair alone! It's fine!" I bang on the bathroom door. "We're gonna be late!"

"I'm almost done!" Sirius hollers back from the other side of the door. Ten minutes later Sirius emerges from the bathroom.

"It's about time." I mutter, putting down the book I was reading and looking up at Sirius. His hair was down and perfectly straight. He was wearing a pair of tight, black jeans with ripped knees, and a fitted navy blue shirt with the words 'SAVE WATER, DRINK BEER' written in white across the top. He also had a plain black jacket on. He was sporting a silver chain around his neck, with two earrings in each ear. And...oh my god, is that
eyeliner he was wearing?

"Sorry I made you wait... But, how do I look?"

"I didn't know you had any piercing," I say, finally getting my voice back. Sirius absentmindedly reaches for his earrings, a coat of black nail varnish over his nails.

"Oh yeah got them done ages ago. Even got my tongue pierced." He sticks out his tongue and low and behold there's a shiny silver tongue ring. He closes his mouth again and moves to the door. "Let's go then!"

Descending the stairs, I start taking our usual route to Sirius's car, but this time Sirius leads me in a different direction. I stare confused at the back of Sirius' head, but follow him without a word. We reach a small white shed door and Sirius pulls out a key opening it. It's dark inside, but you can clearly see the dark shape of a motorbike inside. Sirius walks in and brings it out. It's extremely dusty from lack of use, but other than that it's gorgeous. The silver chrome shines beautifully in the moons rays and contrasts great with the black paint job.

"Ain't she a beaut?" sniffs Sirius while he lovingly wipes of the dust with a rag he found in the shed. "I bought her for myself on my twenty-first birthday. Sadly, I don't get to ride her much

"It's a very nice motorbike," Sirius finishes cleaning it up and throws the rag back in the shed. "So we should get going now, Sirius."

Sirius hands me a helmet and I nearly drop it in shock. "Get on," he says, already swinging his leg over the bike and strapping on his helmet.

"What! I thought you were just showing me your bike!" Sirius knits his eyebrows in confusion. "I know how you drive, there's no way I'm getting on that thing!"

"Oh, come on, Remmie," pouts Sirius.

"Remmie? Since when have you called me Remmie? Wait, never mind, don't answer that. I'm not getting on that thing, you'll get us both killed."

"What are you talking about, I'm an excellent driver!" says Sirius defensively. "Come on, Remus, we're going to be late…" He smirks at me and I finally give in.

"I can't believe I'm getting on this infernal death trap," I mutter while strapping on my helmet. I wrap my arms around Sirius's waist, laying my head between his shoulder blades.

"Hold on tight."

oooooOOOooooo

I still can't believe I got Remus on my motorbike. He nearly fainted when he found out we were going on it. I'm surprised he hasn't passed out yet. The guy has a death grip on me! Maybe I should slow down…Nah. After all we are late.

I smile wickedly and speed up, a feel Remus tighten his hold on me and my smile broadens. At a red light I turn my head to look at Remus. "You doing alright?" I ask, and he raises his head, briefly nods and lays it back down. I face forward again, take one of his hands in mine, and run my thumb over it soothingly. He twines his fingers with mine, but then the light turns green so I give it a gentle squeeze before letting go.

We arrive to find that James and Lily are already there and waiting for us at the entrance. James hasn't gotten very far by the look of boredom and annoyance on Lily's face, but her mood lightens up when she sees Remus. All four of us walk in together, Lily and Remus leading the way.

Hundreds of blinding lights greet us as we walk through the crowds of people and music so deafening you have to shout into someone's ear in order for them to hear you. (A/N: As it should be) I jog to catch up with Lily and Remus, who had some how managed to get several feet ahead of James and I.

We walk around aimlessly for a few minutes just looking at the games and food stands, but eventually I manage to drag Remus with me onto a ride. Normally I would have taken James, but he's trying to win Lily a stuffed animal.

"Come on Rem, we'll just leave them alone for a while." Remus nods in agreement and follows me to a ride. Remus was so terrified to get on the ride, it took five minutes, like a million different bribes and my best puppy eyes to finally convince him. I mean, come on, 'Adrenaline Rush' doesn't even sound remotely scary. Afterwards, Remus said he'd enjoyed it, so it all worked out in the end.

"You know, for your birthday I should take you sky diving," I say off handedly to Remus after buying us both corndogs. Remus sputters and starts chocking on his corndog, I pat him on the back trying to control my urge to laugh.

"What!" He says hysterically and this time I can't help but chuckle. "Oh, no! I wouldn't want you to spend so much money on me," he says taking a bite of his corndog.

"You're just scared..." I say challengingly.

"No! Well, yes…but that's not why I don't want you to take me." He says after swallowing. I decide to drop the subject completely and instead move to sit at an unoccupied ugly red and yellow table. We start to talk again but I notice that Remus' teeth are chattering; it must be cold for him as he's only wearing a thin t-shirt. I take off my jacket and hand it to him. At first he refuses, but I fix him with a stern look and he takes it muttering a thanks.

"I wonder how James is doing." I say to Remus.

He yawns, resembling a tired puppy, before responding. "Me, too. Maybe you should call his cell."

"Nah…what if I interrupt something, I'm sure James wouldn't appreciate that." I wiggle my eyebrows at Remus and he gives me a sleepy smile. He lazily places his head on my shoulder and yawns again. I laugh softly. "Sleepy?" He moves closer. "If you want we can go home now. It's past one in the morning and you haven't been sleeping well lately." But he shakes his head and I start rubbing circles on his back. He sighs, snuggling closer.

My cell phone rings and Remus sits up, almost as if he'd been shocked, moving away from me. I grit my teeth and pick up, mentally cursing who ever is calling.

oooooOOOooooo

I was getting a little too comfortable; thank goodness Sirius's cell phone rang.

"Hello?" answers Sirius. "James? Hey, James! Sorry, mate, I can't hear you. Hold on let me move so I can get a better reception." He gets up and looks at me before leaving. "Be right back, ok Rem?" I nod my head and he walks away.

I close my eyes as I yawn again. I open them and my gaze falls on to a man in a black coat who's staring directly at me. My blood runs cold as he smiles and walks to my table.

"How ya been, Remus?"
