Disclaimer: I own nothing…though if I could I'd kidnap Remus and hide him in my closet…

A/N: I'm sorry you guys! I know it's been ages since I last updated and I apologize tremendously. I had a lot of family over these past few days and I wasn't able to get rid of them until Monday. This chapter would have been up two days earlier but this site was being an ass and it wouldn't let me submit it! So, um thanks to my betas and to my reviewers for being so patient with me.

oooooOOOooooo

Waking up in the morning, I feel a warm body next to mine; my eyes flutter open in surpriseAs my vision clears, I panic at the sight of Remus lying next to me, in bed, still asleep, but then memories of mere hours ago come flooding into my mind. What a beautiful sight to wake up to. I push away some stray locks that had fallen into Remus' face and just watch the younger man sleep.

Eventually, Remus stirs and opens his eyes slowly. As his vision comes into focus he gives me a sleepy smile.

"Good morning, Siri." I take his chin and lift his face so I can give him a chaste kiss.

He pushes me away lightly. "Ew! Morning breath," he says with a giggle. I look away with a hurt expression on my face and Remus laughs again before kissing me sweetly. I move forward, adding more pressure, while Remus tangles his fingers in my hair. I run my tongue over his lower lip, begging him for entrance, and he obliges.

At that particular moment, James finds it necessary to make his presence known.

Bursting in the room, full of life, comes James, "Hey Sirius! Man have I g-" He stops abruptly, jaw dropping, and stares in utter shock at the scene before him. I really need to confiscate his key to my apartment. Remus and I spring apart and I get out of bed.

"Ok, James, I know what you're thinking and it's not what it looks like!" I say quickly.

James closes his mouth with a snap and fixes me with a serious glare. "Really, then enlighten me." He folds his arms over his chest.

"Well you see, James, Remus here…" I turn to Remus, who by now has turned a lovely scarlet color. "Was um choking on a…"

"Nut!" coughs out Remus.

"Choking on a nut!"

"A nut?" says James, raising his eyebrow in suspicion.

"Yeah, a nut, so I was trying to get it out…with my tongue…" It's now my turn to blush.

"Oh well that's logical! How could I have been so dense!" exclaims James sarcastically. "That still doesn't explain why he's in your bed, Sirius." He adds in a monotone.

"There's a reason for that too. You see-"

James cuts me off by saying, "Cut the crap, Sirius, a blind man could see what's happening here," James says with a frown on his face.

"You're not going to tell anyone, are you?" asks Remus worriedly. He starts chewing on his bottom lip like he always does when he's nervous and looks straight into James' eyes. James looks thoughtful for a moment, before speaking.

"No, I won't…" Relief washes over me and I hear Remus let out a breath. "It's not really any of my business. Besides, Remus is old enough to make his own decisions." He smiles a little. "It's just a bit of a shock; I never thought you'd be a pouf, Sirius."

"I'm not a pouf!" I cry defensively. Remus looks at me with a mixture of confusion and worry. "I just fancy Remus." I say with a shrug and the object of my affection smiles.

"Which makes you a pouf." I open my mouth to retort, but Remus speaks first.

"So you're ok with this?" he asks James.

He gives Remus an affirmative nod. "Yeah, it's ok with me. So can you guys put some bloody clothes on! Oh, and take shower!" He wrinkles his nose in disgust. I throw a pillow at him before grabbing a pair of jeans that were left on the floor and pulling them on.

"Come on Remus, you heard the man, let's go take a shower." I wink at Remus seductively, in turn making him blush.

"Gross! I meant separate showers, you git!" I chuckle as the look on James' face.

"You can shower first Sirius," says Remus, already making the bed. I lean over and plant a wet kiss on Remus' cheek, to James' dismay, and make my way to the bathroom in high spirits.

oooooOOOooooo

"So, how long?" asks James suddenly.

"What?"

"How long have you and Sirius been a couple? How long have you two been keeping this from me?" He sounds slightly hurt and upon looking at his face I prove my assumptions correct. My assumptions are proven correct.

"Oh…" I bite my lip. Should I tell him? "It hasn't been very long, if that's what's bothering you." James doesn't look convinced so I continue. "Last night, or rather this morning." His eyebrows knit in confusion. "Approximately 3am." I add with a shrug.

"Wow, it's been like seven hours and you're already shagging each other!" he says exclaims playfully.

"We're not shagging!"

"You were in bed together…I can only assume…."

"That doesn't mean we're shagging! Besides you know the old saying about what happens when you assume things!"

"Yeah, right, whatever, Remus." He dismisses my retaliation with a wave of his hand. "You know I always knew there was something going on between you guys." I cock my head to the side. "Yeah, Sirius was always really protective of you and not the 'Younger sibling' type, either; it was more of a you-touch-my-Remmy-and-I'll-beat-the-day-lights-out-of-you type of protectiveness. And he always talked about you at work."

"Really? " My eyes light up at the prospect of Sirius caring about me so much.

"Yeah, he's always saying stuff like 'You'll never believe what Remus said' and 'Guess what Remus did last night.' Bit annoying, actually." I frown at this. That git.

"So why'd you guys leave last night without telling me?" he says to change the subject quickly.

"Uh…I was tired," I respond simply.

"Oh, so when did you get home?"

"I don't know, late…maybe 2am."

"Hmm interesting…seeing as how you just told me-"

"We talked for a bit…"

"I thought you said you went home because you were tired…"

"I was! But Sirius wanted to talk…"

"So what did you guys 'talk' about?"

"It wasn't like that, James! We did talk, honest."

"Really, So answer my question, what did you guys 'talk' about?"

"Stuff…"

"Hey! Don't you be interrogating my Remmy!" James and I look up, startled. Dripping wet in a towel stands the one and the only, Sirius Black. He squints until his eyes mere slits before whispering. "Because I don't take kindly to people interrogating my Remmy."

His lips twist into a smile. "Bathroom's all yours, Rem."

oooooOOOooooo

"I wasn't interrogating him Sirius," Remus has just left the room and I'm searching for a set of clean clothes, while James is leaning against the door frame waiting for me to change, "I just wanted to get some answers."

"You could have gone to me," I say as I take a shirt from my closet. "And if you want to know what we were 'talking' about last night…I've finished my first case," I say with a frown, while pulling on a pair of pants.

"Oh…I thought you'd finished it a long time ago." He says solemnly.

"Yeah, well…What do you want for breakfast?"

oooooOOOooooo

As I turn on the stove Remus walks in, fully dressed. I smile at him as he sits down.

"What are you making, Siri?" he asks sweetly.

"Uh…I don't know. James, what am I making?" James looks up from the couch where he was flipping through the channels.

"Eggs..." he suggests with a shrug. "You know it's pretty late, almost lunch time," he adds unnecessarily. I open up the fridge and take out the eggs and bacon. I place two pans over the stove and while they heat up I look over at Remus.

"How do you want your eggs, Remmy?"

"Scrambled, please." Damn he's so cute! I wish James wasn't here…

"So, James, you never told us how your night went with Lily." James jumps up from the couch and moves over to the kitchen, a huge grin on his face.

"Oh, it was brilliant! Once you guys left I won Lily a stuffed animal!" I put a couple pieces of bacon in one of the pans. I crack open an egg over the pan soon following by another and start scrambling them with a wooden spoon. "Well…it took me a few tries but I got it! Anyways, after that we talked and I bought her some cotton candy." I start to turn over the pieces of bacon as James continued. "Then she said I was funny!"

"Remus, do me a favor and take out the plates and cups." He nods and gets up from his seat.

James, oblivious to the side conversation, continues. "Well, she said I was funny looking actually, but it's the same thing. Oh, and that's when I called you!" Remus hands me a plate; I thank him while putting his eggs on it. "By the way, Sirius, why did you hang up all of a sudden?"

"The call was dropped." I say without a second thought.

"Oh…" James sits in silence for a moment, collecting his thoughts. "Why didn't you call back?"

"I didn't want to interrupt, and besides, Rem was tired and wanted to go home." I don't like lying to James but…I don't think I should tell him, not yet anyway. "So, how do you want your eggs, James?"

oooooOOOooooo

We're just about to finish eating when James has a sudden outburst "Oh, guess what you guys!"

"What?" comes the unenthusiastic reply.

"Lily gave me her number!" He reaches into his pocket and extracts a small piece of paper and hands it to me. It reads:

Lily Evans

555-3702

"Uh…James," I look up at him, a silly grin still on his face. "This isn't a real phone number."

"What do you mean, it's not a real phone number!" He snatches the small paper away from me and looks at it again. "She gave it to me last night after I followed her to her car!"

"Phone numbers that start with 555 aren't real. That's why they use it on fake adds and such." I say grabbing another piece of bacon. James looks on the verge of tears. Sirius gets up and pats him on the back.

"It's, ok, mate, she's not worth it," he murmurs.

"But…she…I thought…car…" James stammers. It's almost too painful to watch…no, not really.

"Honestly, James, I don't know why you even bother. She obviously doesn't like you." James seems to get worse and Sirius looks at me worried. "James, calm down…I'll give you her real number."

"You will?" He perks up instantly.

"Yes, as long as you don't tell her I gave it to you." I go to my room, open up the first drawer of my dresser and take out the piece of paper with Lily's number on it. "Please try not to be an idiot when you call her," I beg James when I hand over the number. He takes it and kisses the paper.

"Of course, Remus!" he says happily.

oooooOOOooooo

"He's finally gone!" exclaims Sirius as he slams the door shut. I chuckle and turn around to straighten up the living room. But I feel arms wrap around me from behind and hot breath up against me ear. "Tut-tut-tut you're not getting away that easily." Sirius kisses my temple then turns me so that I'm facing him.

"Shouldn't you be at work?" The question seems to throw him off guard, but I continue nonetheless. "You finished your case…" I say sadly. Sirius pulls me closer and kisses my forehead. "I was just wondering why you weren't leaving for work," I whisper.

"I can go later." He tangles his fingers in my hair while rubbing comforting circle on the small of my back. I close my eyes, suddenly feeling drowsy but pull away before I get caught up in the moment.

"That's not very responsible of you," I comment.

Sirius laughs, "Since when have I been responsible?" I give him the 'that's-not-very-funny' look and he stops. "Fine Rem, if you want to be alone for the whole day
I'll leave!"

"I'll wait up for you," I respond quietly.

"Ok," he breaks out into a smile and kisses me one last time before taking his coat. "Promise you will." I laugh at the puppy eyes Sirius gives me.

"Yes, I promise I'll wait for you, now leave!"
