Sirius had spent an hour in the shower after Remus had gone to bed, a very cold shower. Then he'd gone to bed had, had erotic dreams which often drifted into the bizarre. Soon enough morning came and Sirius had to face the task of writing to Harry to tell him about himself and Remus. Remus regarded Sirius over his cup of coffee.

"Don't look so worried Padfoot, remember we were worried last night and everyone with the exception of Snivellus was fine."

"I know but this is different, Harry's the only family I have left worth knowing and I really don't know how he's going to react."

"Trust me Sirius, he'll understand, you're the only family he has left as well, he may be surprised but he'll be fine." Sirius frowned and took a big gulp of tea before getting up and going to write his letter. An hour later he walked up to Remus and said.

"Can't do it."

"Have you been wondering around saying that for an hour and just happen to have come to this room?"

"No, I've been trying to work out how to say it for an hour."

"For god's sake Sirius say what we planned to say last night."

"What yo mean I should write 'Dear Harry, how are you? Just thought I should let you know I'm in love with Remus and we're together. Regards Sirius'?"

"No I'm saying write it like a one-sided conversation. Write what you'd say if you were telling Harry face to face." Sirius sighed.

"I'm sorry Remus."

"What for?"

"I'm making this relationship a problem when I should be celebrating it. I don't mean to this is just new to me." Remus pulled him into a hug.

"I know, it's new for me to." They stayed like that for a while then Remus moved back. "Much as I'm enjoying this, you should really go and write to Harry." Sirius nodded. And left. All the way down the stairs he was trying to work out the best way to start without sounding like a complete idiot. In the end he decided just to write it like a speech, it was probably the best way.

Dear Harry,

How are you? I'm writing because I have something important to tell you. You know that Remus and I have been friends for years. Well recently things have changed slightly. Remus and I aren't just friends any more, we're more than that. Now we're in a relationship. I don't know how you'll feel about this but you have a right to know and I just want you to know I couldn't be happier. I've never really been in love before but now that I am I can't believe how amazing it makes me feel. I want you to know this just change anything with us. You're still my family and I still think of you as a son, all this means is my family's grown. I hope to see you soon

Sirius

Sirius re-read the letter about ten times before he figured it was as good as it was going to get. It said everything it needed to. It was only after Sirius had sent it that he realised that he'd admitted something in the letter he hadn't admitted to himself. He was in love with Remus, he didn't just love him anymore. He'd told Remus and Moony that he loved them, but he hadn't admitted he was in love with them, he had always loved Remus, so it hadn't been a lie, but he hadn't really told the truth either. He rushed up the stairs and burst in on a startled Remus.

"Are you alright Padfoot?"

"Moony, Remus, whoever you are, I love you." There was a pause.

"That's it? I already knew that."

"No I mean. I'm completely and utterly and incurably in love with you." There was another pause.

"I've missed a step."

"Remus, before now I have loved you, but I've been falling for you, now I've fallen completely, I love you." Remus shook his head and smiled.

"I love you too. I fell for you before we got together."

"Really?"

"Truly." Sirius rushed over and crushed Remus in a hug.

"I love you so much Remus." He pulled back and looked into Remus eyes. He saw them flash. He grinned. "I love you Moony, my mate." He crushed Remus' lips under his own. Remus moaned and twined his fingers in Sirius' hair. Remus ran his tongue against Sirius' lips and Sirius opened his lips, his own tongue darting out to taste Remus. Without either of them really noticing it Sirius backed Remus up until they hit the wall. Remus arms came around Sirius back as he pressed himself into Sirius broad frame. Sirius pressed back against Remus, his mouth never leaving Remus'. A growl broke from Remus throat. And he hooked his ankle around Sirius' making them fall to the floor. Sirius eyes flew open and he pushed Remus away.

"Moony get off! Remus! Remus come back to me!" Remus shook himself and his jaw dropped in shock.

"Oh my god, Sirius I'm so sorry!" He made to get off Sirius but Sirius pulled him down for a hug.

"It's alright Remus, it's not you fault. Moony wants me for a mate he's just impatient. I don't want to do things that way. I want you to be ready. I don't want to hurt you just to keep Moony happy." Remus smiled and hugged Sirius back.

"I love you Sirius Black."

"I love you Remus Lupin."
