A/N: Thanks to all those people who reviewed the last chapter. This has been once again changed and is now a three-shot. Blame BrambleRose4. But also thank her because I wrote this chapter mainly for her. :D
Disclaimer: I still don't own anything. Maybe I should start a petition.
OOOOOO
Chapter 2 – Muffin Splat!
Remus didn't sleep in the dorm that night, or the common room. Sirius would have known. He spent the whole night sat in the common room waiting for Remus to come back but he didn't. Remus wasn't anywhere on the map every time Sirius checked either. It was like he'd just disappeared.
Deciding that he needed to sleep, Sirius struggled back up to the dorm, just as the first few students were coming down. A few of them gave him a funny look as he staggered past in his crumpled pyjamas, looking as though he'd slept, which of course, he hadn't. Looking round the dorm, Sirius saw that the only empty beds were his and Remus's; it was a Sunday after all.
As he climbed into bed he felt something squishy under his hand. Looking down quickly, he saw a triple chocolate chuck Honeydukes muffin with chocolate icing and a double helping of chocolate sprinkles. With a small growl he picked it up and threw it as hard as he could at the opposite wall.
"This is all your fault." he told the muffin splat before angrily pulling his covers over his head and falling into an uneasy sleep.
OOOOOO
A couple of hours later he was shaken awake by James.
"You're an idiot. You know that? A bloody idiot. Why the hell did you do that to him, Padfoot?" asked James, repeatedly hitting Sirius with a pillow.
"What did I do? I just kissed him. And he seemed to be enjoying it!" cried Sirius, attempting to shield himself from the blows of the pillow.
"Of course he did! It's you for Gods sake. Are you really that thick?" asked James, dropping the pillow and staring at him in awe.
"What? I really don't understand why Remus is so upset. Tell me. It was just a kiss, wasn't it?" cried Sirius, crawling along the bed towards James "Tell me what's wrong."
"Sorry, Padfoot, no can do. You're just gonna have to figure this one out by yourself."
James sent him an almost apologetic smile before bending down to pick up the dropped pillow and then threw it back on to Remus's bed.
"I just hope you figure it out soon. For both your sakes." and with that he swept out of the room, leaving a mightily confused Sirius in his wake.
Sirius sat for a few minutes, trying to make sense of what had just happened but finding his tired brain unable to process any of James's words. Instead he thought back to that kiss with Remus. It had been so perfect, so pure and simple and right. The way Remus's hair glinted in the sunlight streaming in through the open window. The way his amber eyes sparkled for a few moments before they were filled with pain and Remus had torn himself away. With a small stab of realisation, Sirius was hit by the undeniable thought that he was in love with Remus. Kind, loving, wonderful Remus.
And you've hurt him, said a little voice at the back of his head, you've hurt him real bad.
"But how?" he asked the world in general "How could one kiss hurt him that much?"
Sirius pondered the question for a minutes before starting to talk to the ceiling again.
"I mean, I know Moons. He wouldn't get angry if he thought you fancied him. He'd get all apologetic. Say that he didn't feel the same, be terribly sorry. Not slap you. Unless… unless. Oh God, I am so stupid."
Suddenly James's words and Remus's reaction made sense and Sirius felt like jumping for joy.
"He's got a crush on me!" cried Sirius, punching the air "He was only upset because he thought I was just after his muffin. He might even love me."
Sirius leapt o his feet and started to dance joyously on his bed. Suddenly he felt his foot slip on the bed covers beneath him and he was sent sprawling to the floor. His cheek contacted sharply with the edge of his bed and his cheek began to throb painfully but he didn't care. Remus liked him!
TBC…
OOOOOO
A/N: I really didn't know how to finish this chapter. It was being really difficult and wouldn't flow properly. Anyway I hope you liked it. More soon
Reviews would be treasured more than a coat of Mythrill (or however you spell it) and will make me write faster.
