Mistakes, detentions and doubt
The two boys were relaxing in the common room waiting for James to bound into the room.At around six o clock, the portrait flew open and there was James, a grin plastered on his face, every single tooth could be seen. 'This could only mean one thing' Sirius thought to himself "Who did you pull then?" Sirius asked once James and Peter had sat down next to them on their chairs."How did you know?" James' smile fell off his face to be replaced by a frown"Simple, when you grin like an idiot, it means you have pulled a girl, so I ask again, who have you pulled this time?""How did you know that?""James, I have known you for about five years now so shut up and tell me who you pulled?""My next door neighbour, that Jessica Walker, the really hot one""Oh, why did you jump in her pants, why not that girl opposite you, oh what's her name? Oh yeah that Olivia Caltern" James suddenly went quiet "James, what happened?" Remus asked, he was leaning against Sirius' chest"I… New Years… I got pissed… I… woke up in her… bed… naked" "Oh James mate, I'm sorry" James shook his head, his way of saying, 'don't say you're sorry, it's my fault'.Remus started to play with Sirius' fingers as the common room filled with laughing and gossiping students, they were all talking about how good their Christmas was. Some people gave the male couple a fleeting glance, and some looked at them and started to talk about them with their friends.Remus and Sirius did not care, Remus kept playing with his fingers and Sirius had taken up nuzzling Remus' neck making him giggle every so often. The giggling turned even more heads on its own. Sirius and Remus whispered to each other then told there other dorm mates they were off to bed, "We have a party after Christmas holiday, remember" James stated"Well I am in no mood for a party James""Fine, miss all the fun then, party pooper!" Remus sighed and Sirius just huffed as if he was angry, gave James a playful pout then grabbed Remus to drag him up the boys' dormitory stairs.Sirius lay with a silent sleeping Remus in his arms, he was breathing in the boy's sent. Remus stirred slightly but did not wake Sirius smiled at him, the warmth from Remus was soothing. He snuggled further down the bed and closed his eyes to fall into a peaceful dreamless sleep.Sirius felt himself being shaken gently, "Siri, you need to get up, we have to go to breakfast then lessons""Go away, I can't be arsed to get up" Sirius murmured into his pillow. Sirius felt a weight on his waist "Remus go…" but he was cut off feeling hot breath tickle his nose, he opened his eyes and saw Remus' lips hovering about a centimetre from his own"Are you going to get up?" he whispered "Kiss me and then you'll get the answer," Sirius whispered seductively, Remus closed the gap and kissed him with as much passion as he could so early in the morning. They broke away; Remus somehow had got underneath Sirius."Neither of us are getting up Remy" Remus was about to protest but got cut of by a strangled moan as Sirius kissed the sensitive spot on his neck. "Oh, Sirius…" Sirius smiled at the struggling boy underneath him. The next day the marauders had gone to their lessons, Sirius and James getting the normal detentions. Sirius got a detention with McGonagall for writing 'Remus, he's a slut, and all mine' on the black board, Remus at that time was on the floor in laughter and embarrassment.Another detention was with Dumbledore for charming a few first years on the ceiling in the pattern of Remus' name. Sirius was now obsessed with making it clear he was gay, and making it clear he loved Remus with everything, he owned. The whole talk of the school was now of the player being gay and Sirius did not care.Sirius and Remus were checking the potion to check it was all-ok and they had to take one ingredient off the heat to let it stand. After that, the two boys went to the common room to be greeted with silence apart from the crackling of the fire."Shall we get to bed?" Remus asked, but Sirius just sat down to watch the flames, Sirius always loved to watch the fire, Remus knew that. "You go, I'll be up later" Sirius smiled to the flames. Remus nodded then made his way up the boy's dorms. However, before he got there Sirius had called to him "Remus, you do know I love you""Yeah, Sirius, I do, and I love you to".Sirius looked back to the fire, knowing it was not right for him to love Remus, never will it be right, another man, maybe, but not his best friend that he trusted and never wanted to hurt. He knew if his parents got hold of Remus, he would be killed, no questions asked. The more and more he thought of Remus, the more and more he knew he should split it before it got too serious.The flames took Sirius to the place he liked, the tranquillity, but also it brought him to his doubt. The flames soothed him to sleep; he slept on the red sofa peacefully unaware of James in the corner.James had seen the mixture of guilt and sadness after he had told Remus that he loved him cross his face, he wondered what was going on in his closest friend's mind. Did he doubt his love for the werewolf? Was he planning to split up the work they had done? What was really going on? It hurt James to not know these things going on in his friends mind; the young Black was obviously confused.
