A/N: Ok, here it is. I have once more put pen to paper and fingers to keyboard to bring you this chapter. Fortunately, the computer has finally gotten set up after our move, so I can type up fanfics again! :-D. Right then. I've skipped over to Valentine's Day, as nothing of note happens in the days between.

Moony's Valentine

Lizliz07

Sirius places the last of his gifts on Remus' nightstand and takes a moment to admire a sleeping Remus. He smiles as he imagines waking up to that face for the rest of his life. Only if Remus confesses, a small voice in his head whispers. Abruptly, Sirius turns and leaves the room with a stomach full of nerves.

Remus sits up, staring at Sirius' retreating form until it's out of sight, and then glances at the gift on the table. This time it's a large heart-shaped box of chocolates with a small note taped to the front.

Remus, the note reads, Roses are red, violets are blue, my life is nothing without you. Love, your secret admirer. Remus sighs as he slumps back against the pillows, nibbling on a piece of chocolate from the box. Oh, Sirius, he thinks. What are we going to do about this?

He glances at the note again. Sirius had undoubtedly been the one to give it to him; Remus had woken up early to catch the culprit in the act and had seen him do it. Love, your secret admirer, he muses. A moment later he's dressed, having decided that if Sirius means what he'd said in the poem, it's time to let him know how he feels.

Sirius walks up to James at a fast pace. "James, I can't do this. What if Remus rejects me?" He asks. James rolls his eyes, but pats Sirius' shoulder.

"It's all right, Padfoot. He won't; all that's keeping him back is his fear that you will reject him." He replies. "Just stick to the plan and you'll be all right. Trust me." Sirius nods, looking slightly reassured.

Remus watches Sirius intently as he comes down the stairs. As if sensing him, Sirius' dark head swivels to look at him and his face lights up with a big smile. "Moony! Good morning!" He calls out happily.

Remus smiles and waves back as he makes his way over to them. "Good morning yourself," he replies, giving Sirius an impulsive hug. In the same fashion, he ruffles James' hair before plopping down on a couch. Exchanging puzzled glances, James and Sirius sit too.

There's a moment of silence, in which Remus slides his hand over until it's barely touching Sirius' thigh. James clears his throat and gives Sirius a pointed glance. "Well, I've best be going. I've got to meet my date in the Great Hall. See you, guys." He announces casually.

Once he leaves Sirius turns to Remus, partly grateful that the movement puts his thigh out of Remus' reach. "Do you have a date this year, Moony?" he asks. Remus gives a quick shake of his head. "Me neither. What say you and I head off to the Three Broomsticks and cheer ourselves up?"

Remus agrees, and they gather their winter things. All the way there, Remus walks close enough to Sirius that his hand can "accidentally" brush over the other man's hand and thigh. Sirius grits his teeth, trying hard not to just shove Remus up against the nearest tree and kiss him until he tells him whether it's intentional or not.

They manage to make it to the tavern with no incidents and Sirius gratefully takes a large gulp of his drink. Now that they're here, the plan calls for Sirius to get Remus slightly tipsy, just enough that the werewolf's inhibitions are down.

But, Sirius realizes, he doesn't want to trick Remus into admitting his affections. So, taking a deep breath, Sirius plunges straight in. "Remus, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. I—" He's cut off by Remus leaning over and kissing him.

"You love me, I know." He finishes for him, and grins as Sirius just stares at him. "You said so in your note." He holds up the paper. "I woke up early to catch whoever's been giving me the chocolates. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it was you all along."

Sirius shakes his head, almost sulkily taking another drink. "I should have known. You're never that relaxed, even in sleep." He glances back at Remus. "So all the touching on the way here was on purpose?"

Remus laughs, tapping Sirius on the nose. "Of course it was. I was trying to get you alone so I could tell you." He shrugs. "When we got here I decided it was as good a place as any."

Sirius forces himself to breathe through a throat that's suddenly tight. "Tell me what?" he whispers, unable to make his voice louder. Remus leans closer, kissing his way over to Sirius's ear.

"I love you too." He says, his own voice barely above a whisper. Sirius shivers as Remus' warm breath tickles the sensitive skin of his ear. "I've loved you for so long; I just never felt I could tell you because I didn't want to risk our friendship."

Sirius pulls away far enough to turn his head and capture Remus' lips with his own. Remus pulls away, brushing Sirius's hair back so he can kiss his way down his neck. "Let's get out of here and go somewhere private so I can touch you some more." He murmurs.

"Moony, I've never seen this side of you before. I kinda like it." He adds, smirking. Remus bites down on his neck, and he abruptly stands up, throwing some money on the bar for their drinks. "Our dorm should be empty. We can lock the door." Remus grins and follows Sirius out of the tavern. He highly doubts that they'll make it there.

A/N: So there you have it. The final chapter. Part of me is sad to have it end, but the rest is like thank goodness it's over! Lol. Nothing against the fanfic or you guys, but now I'll have more time to focus on fanfics in the works. Thank you to everybody who's ever reviewed on this fic, because in all honesty there were times when I wouldn't have kept writing if it hadn't been for you guys. Let me know if there's ever a story idea you want written. I'll even give you credit for it.
