OMG I am so so so sorry it's been so long between my last update and this one! My computer got this huge virus, and it crashed. There was nothing I could do, so my dad had to re-image it. That took like forever, and then I had to study for exams and crap. I'm really really really really really really sorry. D: I'm such a bad person.

Anyway, here's chapter 9. Warnings: Descriptive makeout sesion. male/male Disclaimer: Don't own.

Remus was released from the hospital wing Friday evening, still slightly battered, but more or less ok. It was the night before the months Hogsmeade visit. Remus and I planned to spend the day together, as a date type thing.

Much to our amusement, we weren't the only ones with a date. James was bewildered by the fact that Lily Evans had asked him, James Potter, out. James was left a confused, nervous wreck, much to our enjoyment.

Friday night I had set my alarm, using a special kind that was only heard by the person who set it. That is how I ended up awake even before the sun was.

I was planning to wake Remus up so we could watch the sunrise together. I didn't really remember what we had said, but Remus had one day asked me to watch it with him, but I had just gone back to sleep. After he had gotten hurt, I realized one early morning wouldn't have really hurt me. I opened the curtains around my bed, and glanced out the window. I still had a few minutes to get him up.

I changed into Padfoot, and stood over Remus, looking down at his peaceful face. Then, I proceeded to like him on the face repeatedly.

He woke with a start. "Ack! Padfoot, stop. Padfoot! What are you -! Ah! Bleh Gross!!" He complained, sitting up and shoving me off him after I had effectively managed to lick him in the mouth.

I changed back, and kneeled next to him. "This tongue has been in your mouth a number of times, and you never complained then." I told him with a smirk.

He glared at me, looking particularly cute, rather than scary, with his hair sticking up in tuffs around his head. "Want to tell my why we are up so early in the morning?" He asked, not commenting on my previous statement.

"Well, you remember that morning you tried to wake me up early so we could watch the sunrise?" I asked casually.

"Yes." He said, raising and eyebrow. "And you told me something along the lines of 'But Moony, the gnomes are showing me the oatmeal,' and then fell asleep."

"Is that what I said?" I asked with mild interest. "Ok, anyway, I woke you up early because well, I wanted you to watch the sunrise with me?" I more asked than said, suddenly unsure of myself. Man, I could be such a girl.

Remus smiled at me. "You got up early to make up a missed sunrise together?"

I nodded, opening the hangings the rest of the way.

He smiled wider as he kicked off the blankets.

We stood together, looking out the window, watching as the sun came up. The array of colors spread out over the horizon, and I was awed by the natural beauty of it. It made me wish I had gotten up that morning when he'd first asked me. This was worth missing a few minutes of sleep. I could have always gone back to sleep after.

When the sky finally started to turn the normal light blue, I ventured back to bed, pulling the hangings closed as Remus climbed in after me. I crawled into bed, snuggling deep into the covers. Remus laid his head down on my shoulder, pulling the blanket over us. We sat quietly for a minute, and I started to doze when Remus sat up on one elbow.

"Thank you for watching the sunrise with me." He said, staring down at me with his intense amber eyes.

"No, Thank you for waking up," I said quietly, implying not only for today, but for waking up from the coma or whatever it was called.

I stretched up, catching his lips with mine. The kiss became more heated, and I flipped us over so I was on top. He let out an animalistic growl, slipping his hands underneath my shirt. His nails scraped lightly up my back, causing me to shiver and goose bumps erupted on my skin.

I moaned against his lips, as my pajama bottoms became pleasantly tented.

I rolled my hips against his, and he let out a longing whimper that I'd heard Moony use a few times on the nights of the full moon. I slipped my hand into his shirt, running my finger tips lightly along a few of his scars. I felt him shiver under me, and I smiled against his lips.

He rocked his hips against mine, and slid my shirt up. I broke our kiss long enough to allow him to pull it over my head. I pulled his off, a few moments after that. Remus flipped us over again, and he slowly moved down my face, kissing and sucking on my neck. I wiggled restlessly, and eventually pulled him back up, latching our lips together again.

We kept going on like that for awhile, before Remus froze above me. We were both out of breath, panting heavily. I was about to ask him what was wrong, when I heard someone else moving around.

"Oi! Are you two finished yet?" James' voice rang out in the now silent dorm room.

I glanced at Remus, cursing quietly. We hadn't put up a silencing charm.

He let out a low, frustrated growl. But the mood had been shattered. I rolled over, grumbling, and stuck my head out of the curtain.

"Thanks a lot Jamsie." I said sarcastically.

James peered out around the bed post. "Nice hickey." He said, pointing to my neck. I felt my face heating up, covering the offending mark with my hand.

"How long have you been up?" Remus asked, looking over my head, changing the subject.

"Not that long actually, but I eventually just couldn't sleep anymore. I'm too nervous." He said, looking into his trunk thoughtfully. "You two should really remember to put up your silencing charms." He commented, as he pulled out a shirt, and then threw it onto the bed in disgust.

Peter let out a loud snore, and James snorted, rolling his eyes. "No idea how he or I could sleep through all the racket you two were making. You know, I'm curious about something." He said, turning to face us, loosely holding a dark green shirt.

I raised an eyebrow in a 'go ahead' sort of way.

"Who's top?" He asked, looking slightly embarrassed to be asking.

Remus burst into startled laughter. I smirked, finding it rather amusing myself, but I contained my amusement.

"We share the honor Jamsie. Just depends on the day."

We moved onto less awkward subjects and we got dressed.

James had tried on his fifth outfit when he finally turned to us. "What should I wear? What do you think she'll like?" James asked, throwing another shirt aside onto the already overflowing pile.

"Girls aren't exactly our specialty James." I said, but he gave us both a pleading look.

Remus sighed. "Just because we're gay…" He muttered, but he walked forward to help a distressed James.

We both dug around in James' trunk to find something suitable for him to wear. Finally, we decided on dress pants and a blue button up shirt. I tossed him the articles of clothing.

Peter, who had woken up a few minutes earlier, laughed. "James, you're worse than a girl."

James scowled at him, pulling on the clothes. "Am not."

A few minutes later, he looked into the mirror. Remus, Peter, and I turned to leave.

"Why can't it just lay flat?!" James cried desperately from behind us. We all swung around, and watched as he desperately tried to flatten out his not cooperative hair.

Remus gave a deep sigh, before walking over and pulling out his wand. He mumbled a few words. "That should hold it until at least your date is over." He said, stepping back to look at what his spell had managed to do.

"Thanks Remus! You're a life saver." James said enthusiastically, looking at his magically flattened hair. He pulled Remus into a bone crushing hug, and then did the same to me. "You too Sirius!" He said, before running out the doors and disappearing from sight as he thundered down the stairs.

Peter snorted. "Finally. Let's go get breakfast."

We walked to the Great Hall, where we found a flustered James seated, looking nauseous.

"I don't think I can eat without being sick." He told us miserably. Just as we sat down, Lily came sweeping into the Great Hall.

"Oh no! Hide me! She looks amazing, and I look like this. I'm not ready for her to see me. I have to go change into something better." James cried in distress, but it was too late. Lily has spotted us and was making her way over, smiling brightly.

"Hello Remus, Sirius." She said, smiling even wider if possible. She turned to look at James, and her face took on a slightly suppressed expression. "You look nice James. How did you get your hair to lay so flat?"

"You look lovely Lily." James blurted. He blushed. "Umm. Thanks. Remus used a spell or something."

Lily gave him another radiant smile, before sitting down next to him and falling into easy conversation with the girls next to them. James looked slightly green.

We talked, trying to get James to relax some.

When Lily finished eating, she looked at James, who still hadn't managed to take a bite. "Are you ready to go?" She asked.

James nodded, seeming to have lost the ability to use some of his motor skills.

We watched them walk out, before falling into fits of hysterical laughter.

"Poor James. He looked like he might pass out." Peter wheezed through his laughter.

Remus and I left the building a little later, walking down towards the gates.

We walked around, holding hands, through the streets. We didn't pay any attention to the people who pointed at us. We looked through the shop windows together, before decided to go to the Three Broom Sticks to have a butter beer.

Remus saved us a booth as I went and got our drinks. I waited patiently at the counter, and after Madame Rosemerta handed me the bottles, I turned around and saw someone talking to Remus. A chill swept through me as I realized who it was. I quickly made my through the crowd.

"—doesn't even really like you. He's just using you for attention. To make our mother mad." Regulus said with a sneer. I realized what they must be talking about.

I tapped him on the shoulder with my free hand. As he turned around, I swung my fist, hitting him on the side of the face with as much force as I could summon. I heard a sharp crack, and Regulus stumbled to the side holding his face.

He glared at me as he ran out the door, followed closely by his usual crowd. I set the bottles down on the table, and looked at Remus. His eyes were misty with unshed tears.

I frowned at him, sliding in to sit next to him. "You know what he said isn't true right?" I asked, pulling him closer to me.

He nodded against my neck, hair tickling my face.

"Next time he comes near you, just hex him for me. I won't tell if you don't." I said, earning a slight chuckle out of him.

We spent the rest of our time sitting together, watching the other Hogwarts students. When it finally started to get dark, we grudgingly made our way towards the castle, wanting nothing more than to go eat dinner.

We ate quickly, before going up to the common room, and sitting together on the couch by the fire. Remus snuggled into my side reading a book, and I just daydreamed.

Lily came in a little later, giggling.

Remus looked up from his book. "How was your date?" He asked curiously.

"Ohh. It was great! I had an amazing time." She answered happily, smiling like mad. "I have to go tell Alice." She ran up the girls dormitory stairs.

James came in after she had disappeared from sight. He looked miserable. "What happened to you?" I asked in wonder. "Lily was just ranting about having a great time."

"She was probably just being nice. First, I tripped down the flight of stairs leading out of the castle, then I spilt butter beer all over the both of us, then I managed to set my robes on fire as I tried to dry them!" James cried, putting his face in his hands.

I stifled a laugh. "It musn't have been that bad." Remus said gently.

"But it was!" He wailed. He stood up. "I'm going to bed." He said sulkily.

"It's a miracle how you can get such different answers from two people." Remus mused, looking up the stairs after James.

I laughed. "I wonder why Lily liked it too much."

"Probably because James didn't seem as big headed when he was making all his mistakes." Remus guess, which sounded about right.

"We'll have to ask her tomorrow." I said, settling back into the couch.

Today had been one of the nicest days of my life. Minus the Regulus part of course.

Again, I'm so sorry. What can I do to make it up to you guys? DDD:
