A/N: Sorry about the long wait you guys. But um I have some bad news (well for you anyway) I'll be going to Mexico this Saturday and won't be returning till August 5th. That means no updates till I get back, unless I can find a computer with internet. So I'm sorry! But if it makes you feel any better I'll try to write the rest of the fic out and then once I get home I'll type it up. Oh and good news with the sequel! I've started brain storming! So that'll be up soon as well. Ok enough of me talking! On with the show!

Disclaimer: I own nothing…but I if I couldn't I'd kidnap Remus and have my wicked way with him ;)

As promised, I waited up for Sirius. I was reading on the couch when I first heard the door open and close but I didn't look up until I felt Sirius settle himself next to me on the couch.

"You waited up for me!" he exclaims happily.

I look over my book at him. "Of course, I said I would." And with that I turned my attention back to my book.

A few minutes later I feel the couch shift and suddenly my book is torn away from me.

"Hey!" I try to snatch it back but Sirius is, after all, taller than me.

"Come on, you can't honestly tell me that this," he waves my book around, "is more interesting than me!"

"As a matter of fact it is!" Sirius pouts and holds the book away farther.

"That hurt…" he mock sniffs

"Oh just let me finish the chapter," I whine, "Please…" Sirius shakes his head.

"Nope, I don't think so…" He looks thoughtful for a second before continuing, "Well, unless I can get something in return…"

"What?" I ask suspiciously.

"You know what I want." He wiggles his eyebrows and I can't help but laugh.

"You idiot" I utter before taking my book from him. He puts on a defeated face as I sit down again, but instead of reading I set my book aside and look at Sirius questioningly. He puts on a hopeful face before walking over and sitting on my lap.

"Sirius! You're not as light as you might think!" I try to push him off but he grabs onto me and won't let go. He bats his eyelashes, but I won't crack. He gets off and looks at me worriedly.

"What's wrong Remus? Did I do something?" he asks looking me straight in the eye, "If I did, I'm sorry."

"No…" I reply, "I've just been thinking about something James said."

"James!" he scoffs, "Don't pay attention to James, he's a git."

I stay pensive for a moment, wondering whether I should ask or not. "What are we?"

"Well last time I checked I was a man, but-"

"No, Sirius," I cut him off. "I mean what do you consider us?"

"Oh…" he mumbles quietly. "I was kind of hoping you'd tell me." He suddenly seems to find something interesting about his shoes.

I take a deep breath. "James called us a couple."

"Well then maybe," Sirius finally looks up, "James isn't such a git after all." My eyes light up at this and Sirius moves closer. "We can be whatever you want Rem." I smile as Sirius moves closer still, eventually closing the distance between us with a kiss.

oooooOOOooooo

"Hey Sirius!" I yell, "Do you know if James has tried to call Lily yet?" Sirius comes out of his bedroom and into the living room still in boxers and in the process of pulling on a pair of pants. I still can't get use to seeing Sirius with almost no clothes on, so I turn to hide my growing blush.

"James said something about calling her yesterday but I don't think he did," replies Sirius.

"Ok, thanks." I grab the house phone and start dialing.

It rings three times before someone picks up.

"Hello?" I hear Lily's voice and smile inwardly.

"Hey, Lily, it's Remus."

"Oh, how have you been?"

"Good, listen I wanted to ask you something. I was wondering, have you spoken to James lately?"

"James?" I could hear the note of disgust in her voice and I roll my eyes. "No, I haven't, why?"

"You can stop the charade now, Lily."

"What are you taking about?" she asks, but I can hear the guilt in her voice.

"I know what you're doing and I've been playing along for quiet some time now, but I want it to stop. I know that you like James even though you won't admit it." I hear her give a forced laugh.

"Remus, you're being silly I don't like James!"

"Oh, but it's painfully obvious that you do. Just give him a chance."

"Listen Remus, even if I did like James my job doesn't really allow time for dating or relationships. It's dangerous to have a spouse or family when you do the kind of work I do. You sometimes have to put your job in front of your personal life." I sigh; rubbing the back of my neck in frustration.

"James' job is just as bad as yours and he's trying. Please Lily give him a chance." I don't get a response so I continue. "I gave him your number."

"You what!" she screams.

"Hold on, before you blow up on me, let me finish. So he has your number but he hasn't called yet, obviously, but when he does you're not going to hang up on him instantly. He might just want to talk and that's ok, but if he asks you out on a date you're not going to refuse."

"But-" she begins to protest.

"No buts! You and I both know you want this just as much as James." There's an awkward silence and I hold my breath in anticipation.

"Ok, I'll give it a shot." I let out a breath and smile.

"Great!" I can't keep the cheerfulness out of my voice. "Um, that's all I really wanted to talk about. I'll let you get back to whatever you were doing. Bye, Lily"

"Ok, bye, Rem."

I turn around to find Sirius fully dressed, arms folded, staring at me with a wicked smile. I freeze in mid step and smile. "Have you been standing there this whole time?" He nods slowly. "She said yes…"

"I heard." He's still giving me that weird smile and it's beginning to freak me out.

"Siri, what are you thinking?" I ask uneasily. He moves slowly, almost cautiously, towards me.

"Oh, nothing…" He grabs my chin lightly. "Just need to use the phone," he whispers.

I hand it over suspiciously before leaving the room.

Freak.

A/N: I'm not particularly happy with this chapter but, I felt bad leaving James all alone! Ok next chapter will be Rem's Birthday! So you wait and see what I have in store!

REVIEW PLEASE!
