Chapter2

"C'mon we'll turn snivellus hair pink." James motioned Sirius.

"But we do that too often."

"No we don't, and besides it's classic!"

"Yeah well take Pete, I'll be there in a bit."

"What are you doing?" James asked looking to the parchment Sirius was writing on.

"I have to finish transfig, or I can't go to Hogsmead."

"You better do it then man 'cause we have to pull some shit at Hogsmead."

"Well go on then, can't leave ol' snivellus in peace, he'll get scared."

"Coming Moony?"

"No, I'll sit out on this one." He rolled his eyes.

"Oh Moons, you know you love our pranks, you're usually the master mind behind them."

"Yes, well Severus doesn't hate me yet, and I'd like to keep it that way."

"Okay, I'll just grab Wormtail then." James left.

Remus found he was short of breath. They hadn't been alone since he had revealed, or rather Sirius revealed his feeling for Sirius. Although Remus was definitely feeling scared, he couldn't help but feel the slightest bit of excitement.

"Come over here." Came a casual voice, and the voice was quickly greeted by the blonde boy. "lay with me," Remus complied, leaning back to rest his head on the pillows.

"Need help with transfig?"

"Need help with alot of things."

"Oh no, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." He shook his head, then buried it in Remus' neck."

"Hug?" He felt a pang of guilt for the butterflies in his stomach, he was comforting his best friend, he should not be getting off on it.

"Do you want a hug Moony?"

"Hmmm?" He furrowed a brow. "I meant because you're upset."

"Yeah, but when you lay with me. Do you want to hug?"

"Yes." Remus was shocked at how quick he replied. Sirius smiled a knowing smile, put his arm around his shouldder, his hand cupping the hair on the back of Remus' head, and pulled him to rest on his shoulder.

"We can do this Rem." Sirius' right hand was rubbing his back, while his left was resting on Renus' lower stomach.

"Good."

"Yeah good." They stayed like that for a while.

"Will you tell me what it is though?"

"Nothing, just 'poor me' stuff"

"You can talk to me about that stuff." He sounded a little hurt.

"My rents want to have me marry some Rich purblood when I get out of this place."

"No, they can't make you."

"I don't want to leave Regulus."

"I don't want you to eaither. Pads," Remus turned turned to look at him, his hand coming to caress his cheek. "Just know when to stop. Sometimes people get too far gone to save."

"I saved you." Sirius turned his head so that Remus' palm was pressed to his lips, but his wasn't quite kissing it.

"You did." His voice was shaking, but Sirius Black was basically kissing him. "But you got me at the right time."

"I would never have given up on you, never."

"Sometimes you just have to." For some reason they were whispering.

"I'll know when." Sirius took Remus' hand from his lips, and entwined his fingers with his, they laid there till morning.
