A/N: So I finally got tired of waiting for a fifth review. Thus, I have posted this lovely third chapter as a reward for the people that did review. So read on, my eager buddies, and don't forget to review by pushing the big button on the bottom.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, though Remmy is my secret lover. Weird how I turn him gay, huh?

Moony's Valentine

Feb. 9

Remus is sulking in the common room. Sirius had managed to get another detention, and now he had no one to talk to, since he'd started ignoring James and Peter whenever they started badmouthing Sirius, which was pretty often. Besides, he tells himself, you miss him, and like his attention. He sighs, and puts the book he'd been trying to read down and just stares at the ceiling. Ever since he'd seen Sirius crying, he'd been unable to think of anything but his need to take all of Sirius' pain away.

Every time he'd try to, Sirius' tear-streaked face would pop into his head, and he'd remember the fantasy he'd created. It had come back in full force once he'd realized what Sirius' being bi meant. He had a chance. He notices James walking over, and sighs. No doubt he was coming over in an attempt to change Remus' mind about Sirius. "Girl troubles?" he asks, leaning on the top of the chair. "You look like Sir-" he breaks off, clenching his teeth together. Remus doesn't notice; he's too busy laughing.

"No, James, I'm definitely not having girl troubles." James looks puzzled, but Lily walked into the room just then, and he ran off to bug her into a date. Remus goes back to staring at the ceiling, but looks away suddenly when the portrait hole opens. His mood improves instantly as he watches Sirius step out of it and into the room.

Sirius looks around, sighs, and starts heading up to the dorms, and Remus' mood improves even more. As Sirius makes his way across the room, he sighs again. Remus hadn't even waited up for him. He looks around again to make sure that Peter and James are still in the common room and sees Remus, looking ecstatic, waving. He suddenly feels pounds lighter, almost like he had when James shad been his best mate. Remus was really happy to see him! He bounds over and throws himself into the chair across from Remus, sitting sideways.

"Do I even want to know what you did to get into detention?" Remus asks to distract himself from the look of pure joy on Sirius' face. To his surprise, Sirius grins sheepishly and looks away. "It's that bad?"

Sirius shrugs. "Not from certain perspectives. The teachers just don't like people messing with each others minds." He didn't need to look at Remus' face to see the confused expression he knew was there. "I got caught modifying Snivellus' memory." He explains.

"Why?" Remus asked slowly, raising an eyebrow. He'd gone into prefect mode, Sirius notes. "It's a wonder that you got away with one night of detention! If I had caught you, I would have at least given you a week's worth!"

Sirius just grins innocently. "Not if you knew the reason behind it." He replies as he leans back and folds his hands over his chest as he stares at the ceiling. Sirius lets the silence stretch on, waiting until Remus asks what the reason is, which he eventually does. "You see, I was thinking that Snivellus really doesn't deserve the knowledge of what you are, seeing as how he doesn't appreciate you enough. Also, just cause he promised doesn't mean he won't go blabbing to his friends about you. So, I decided to take away the memory, and now he has no clue what you are, and he doesn't want to know. It's the most I can do for you, Moony." He adds, looking down. "Even though I know that it doesn't make what I did right, and that it's not nearly enough."

He looks so sad, that Remus wants to hug him. Instead, he pats him on the shoulder. "It's ok, Padfoot, my friend. I'm grateful." Sirius looks up, and they smile at each other. The happy feeling between them changes into a tense atmosphere. Their eyes catch, and hold each other spellbound.

As the atmosphere charges, Remus slowly starts to lean forward, and Sirius closes his eyes. This is it, he thinks dazedly, reaching his fingers up to press against Remus' cheek. Remus groans slightly, at his touch, and Sirius grins, feeling a small thrill go through him. "Leave me alone, Potter!" Lily shouts suddenly, and Remus pulls back in shock, falling back into his chair,

Sirius opens his eyes to find Remus slumped in his chair with a hand over his eyes. His breath is shaky. "I think it would be a good idea for you to go to bed. I'll see you tomorrow." Sirius just nods, and shakily makes his way up the stairs to the dorms. Once there, he falls limply onto his bed and grins at the ceiling. Remus wants him! He closes his eyes and sighs as he hears footsteps coming up the stairs.

James glares as he enters the dorm and sees Sirius already there, lying on his bed. First he strikes out with Lily-again- and now he has to put up with that backstabber? He shoves his trunk open with more force than necessary, and starts getting ready for bed. "James?" Sirius asks. He turns to glare at him, but the backstabber hadn't moved.

"What!?" he snaps.

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. And… I'm glad that you risked your life to save Snivellus. You're a good man, James." Sirius adds before pulling his curtains closed around his bed. James sits there for a moment, staring at the curtains that are hiding his once bestfriend from view. Eventually, he turns back to his trunk and finishes getting ready for bed as Peter, Remus, and Frank enter the room.

Sirius lays awake long after everyone else has gone to sleep. Judging by the fact that he hasn't had to pick up Remus' book yet, he wasn't the only one awake tonight. He smiles smugly. It feels good to have such an impact on someone he cares about.
