Sirius lifted an eyebrow as Remus came to sit next to the boy, his head falling onto his shoulder.

Sirius smiled lightly and started to weave his fingers into those soft, smooth locks.

Isabelle sat across from them, a stern glance set on Remus. The boy cringed but nodded in despair.

Sirius had no idea what was happening and his curiosity got the best of him... again.

"What's up with you two? Your usually acting like you were born stuck together and now... was that a glare?" He asked at Isabelle who blushed. "Nothing. I just talked to Cub and... he needs to keep his promise." She explained as Remus shrank into Sirius' shoulder, savoring the fingers lighting massaging his scalp. For a split second... all Remus wanted to do was kiss the boy. He wanted to sink into his skin and kiss him until Sirius knew that Remus loved him, and Remus wanted to know that the boy loved him back.

Isabelle read in Remus' eyes what he was thinking... it also didn't help that he was staring dreamily up at Sirius.

"Hey, Cub? Can you help me with this?" She asked sweetly.

Remus woke from his daze to not sheepishly. "Sure, momma." He mumbled and sat next to her.

Over the next few days Remus was getting more and more impatient until one night...

He watched as Sirius walked out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel. Remus attempted not to watch but he continued to peek over the top of his book before ducking behind it when the towel was removed to put on pants. He wasn't going to be a peeking tom no matter what. When he was sure that pants had been put on he peeked over his book again to peer thoughtfully at the well formed muscles under that beautiful tan skin. The frail boy watched, a hint of hunger in his eyes until he found eyes upon him as well. Those beautiful grey eyes locked with his thoughtfully as Sirius pulled a shirt on.

"Something wrong, Moony?" He asked, walking over to Remus' bed and sitting upon the edge, careful not to drip too much water onto the sheets.

'Oh no. This is worse. Much, much worse.' Remus thought, gulping silently and looking back at his book in a desperate attempt to look away from that beautiful boy.

"No. N-no. I'm fine." He said, off Sirius' question.

"Sure?"

"Yes."

"Absolutely?"

"Yes, Sirius! Now can you please... go to the common room or something?" He begged, shocking the boy in front of him a little. Well... Remus couldn't stop looking at him. He gave Sirius pleading eyes and the bigger boy finally obliged, waving goodbye to Remus as he left.

The frail boy let out a small sigh of relief once Sirius had left. Then he jumped, making his heart stop.

"Sirius may be thick, Rem, but I'm not."

Remus looked around frantically until his eyes met with James'.

"I thought... Lily... downstairs... why... so quiet..." Remus stammered with growing worry. James laughed and shook his head. "I've kinda known for a few weeks now." He admitted, shrugging. "It's sorta obvious."

"Is it?!" Remus squealed.

"So the whole Gryffindor House knows I've got a crush on Sirius Black?" He asked, now totally down-trodden.

"Not particularly. No one really knows you very well. No one got to. I on the other hand know nearly everything about you and even more about Sirius. You fancy him."

"No... I don't JUST fancy him... James... James I think I love him. Truly and totally love him."

James stared. "Wow... I... that's... intense." He whispered. Remus nodded, his face falling into his hands as he sobbed pathetically.

"I fell in love with the most uncaring, snobbish, sexist, cheating, lying, dense... beautiful... enchan...ting..." He stopped talking, his sobs becoming louder.

James sighed and got up, walking nervously over to Remus before draping an arm around his shoulders and smiling comfortingly.

"It's okay, Moony. It's okay." He cooed softly, listening as the boy got quieter. "I just... don't know what to do..." Remus whispered desperately. "You've got Lily..." He glanced at James through glistening eyes. "Well.. almost."

James snorted quietly though a smile was on his lips.

"Now Peter has a girlfriend. PETER out of all of us got a girlfriend first. We all know Sirius is never going to get a girlfriend for more than two weeks top and... me." He gulped. "I'd do ANYTHING for Sirius, James! Anything!"

James nodded as the little werewolf ranted on. He wasn't actually listening. He knew it was easier just to listen for he himself had no idea what to do.

"Cub?"

James and Remus looked up and the boy smiled sadly at Isabelle. She had just walked into the dormitory and was now making her way over to Remus who had resorted back to letting his head fall into his hands.

"Momma. I'm so desperate." He whispered as Isabelle waved off James who walked out to do his daily Lily-Watching.

"Oh, Cub!" The girl wrapped Remus tightly in her arms and the boy felted just a touch better. "You need to stop doubting! Look... I've got an idea." She grinned and started whispering in Remus' ear.

After about five minutes she pulled away from his ear and gave him a questioning look but Remus shook his head. "No, Batty! That's wrong!" He said with a small sob. "No no, Cub! Just until he realizes he loves you back! Only a few days I'm sure would be fine." She shrugged and stood up. "Think about it." And she exited the room.
