Hey guys! I'm really sorry for the delay, but my exams have just started so my focus is on them at the moment (:
Thank-you so much for the favourites, follows and reviews! It really motivates me to continue! 3
Oh, and I just thought I'd mention, this story is based in the 70s, when homesexual relationships were still mostly illegal.
Chapter 3
"Wotcher, Moony." Sirius slurred as he approached his friend, who was sprawled out on the grass next to the lake.
Remus looked up at Sirius and couldn't help smiling at the ridiculous grin that was plastered across Sirius' face. "Hey, Padfoot." He greeted him in return.
Sirius flopped down next to him, and Remus took a moment to appreciate how Sirius' movements always held an almost graceful touch, no matter how drunk he became.
"Got a smoke?" Sirius asked hopefully, pulling Remus out of his train of thought.
Remus moved into a sitting position and fished his pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and retrieved one for each of them. Handing Sirius his, he placed his own between his lips and lit it with a muggle lighter and took a slow drag.
"And mine?" Sirius questioned, placing his own between his lips and waited expectantly.
Remus wasn't sure what had come over him, but instead of lighting it with the lighter like a normal person would, he leaned over and pressed the tip of his cigarette against Sirius, keeping his eyes locked with Sirius' grey ones as he did.
"Thanks," Sirius murmured when Remus pulled away and watched him closely, at a loss for words.
Remus cleared his throat, "so, uh... How's Peter?" He asked. The boy had been influenced by Sirius a little too much and ended up drinking a bottle of Firewhiskey all by himself and was now, as a result of his idiocy, was throwing up quite violently.
"Prongs is looking after him." Sirius replied absently. "This is a nice place... You wouldn't believe it was Peter's." Sirius mused, looking over his shoulder at the lake house.
"That's rude." Remus scolded halfheartedly as he blew out smoke.
Sirius smirked slightly and studied Remus for a moment. "Moony?"
"Yeah, Pads?" Remus replied.
"Look at me."
Remus did just that and Sirius took the opportunity and leaned in, pressing his lips to the werewolf's.
Remus' eyes widened and he froze, at a loss of how to respond.
Sirius was undeterred by Remus' lack of response and shifted closer and continued to kiss him.
After a long moment, Remus let himself relax slowly and gave in to Sirius' prying tongue - parting his lips slightly, allowing him access.
Sirius let out a small sound of success as he slid his tongue into Remus' mouth curiously, bringing his hand up to cup his cheek.
The sound sent a shivers through him and finally Remus relaxed completely and leaned in to the kiss, bringing his tongue forward to meet Sirius'.
After another minute or two of exploring his best friend's mouth, Sirius slowly pulled back and grinned at Remus.
Remus felt incredibly lightheaded and he watched Sirius longingly and ran a tongue over his lower lip. "W-what was that?" He breathed.
"I was proving a point." Sirius replied honestly, taking a drag of his cigarette.
Remus' brows knotted together in confusion, "I don't... What point?" He asked.
Sirius was smirking now. "I told you I'd prove that you were gay.
The colour drained from Remus' face and he stared at his best friend disbelievingly. "You tricked me." Remus breathed.
"Well... I... I suppose." Sirius responded, his smirk fading at the look on Remus' face.
"You tricked me." Remus repeated.
Sirius looked away, disliking the look of betrayal in Remus' eyes. "Come on Rem, 's not a big deal..." He murmured.
"Maybe for you it isn't, because you don't care about anyone but yourself!" Remus exclaimed, scrambling to his feet. "I... I can't believe you did that!" He yelled. "You're so selfish, Sirius! You don't care about anyone's feelings, do you?" He accused.
Sirius looked up at him then, "that's not true!" He argued, getting to his feet as well.
"Of course it is!" Remus yelled. "Well done Sirius, you've outed me! Now what? Going to go have a good laugh with James and Peter?" He questioned, feeling tears well up in his eyes. He had honestly thought they'd had a real moment there.
"No Remus that-" Sirius tried, but it was too late, Remus was already storming off.
