Sirius then quietly ruffled Remus's hair. "Sleep tight Moony" he whispered. He kissed the top of the boy's head. He didn't know what possessed him to. Maybe it was Remus's age? Sirius decided not to dwell on it as Remus snuggled into the warmth Sirius made him. After all, tomorrow was going to be a weird day…

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Withering… moaning… gasping… slick… hot… wet… salty…

Sirius felt it… flooding his mind, his body, his heart… something… what is it…? It has been here all along… but he can't find it…

Frantic now… Beating faster… groaning louder… thrusting deeper… Blissful torture… It couldn't stop… faster, harder, deeper… Breath hitching, body throbbing, and gold…

Intensity reached, climax peaked and his was named cried out in the dark.

"SIRIUS!"

Sirius bolted up in bed, a strangled cry caught in his throat. It was… a dream? Then who…

"Sirius!" He looked up. Hovering slightly above him was his best friend James. His face was scrunched up as if concerned. Sirius wondered if his eyes were as wide as he thought, or if he was as sweaty as he felt. "Hey James." His voice sounded throaty and foreign. He grabbed a glass of water he kept by his bed and chugged it down. He wiped his mouth and pulled back his hair to create some air way. "What's wrong?" he tried this time, the water having helped immensely.

James looked at him weirdly. Sirius couldn't decipher it. "I wanted to ask you that. You were having a fit in your sleep." Sirius cracked his neck once to keep from eye contact with James. He didn't understand why though. The thought of looking him in the eye didn't seem plausible. "Sorry, kind of a night mare." Sirius tried. James was quiet for a bit. Finally he turned back to his bed to get dressed.

"Yeah? Be careful then. You don't want to hit Moony." James replied, not fully convinced. Sirius blinked, he was about to ask what that statement meant. Then memories blossomed in his mind like spring. That's right! Moony's now, like, six! Talking of numbers, Sirius glanced at his alarm clock. It was about 7:30 in the am. Sirius flopped down on his bed again.

He nudged at Remus in the side with his finger. "Wakey…" Sirius whispered. Child Remus groaned and rolled over. It was just like sixteen year old Remus. So I guess he was never much of a morning person…That's when a thought bubble popped in Sirius's mind.

"Wait a second James! Who's going to be the one to watch him during class?" Sirius blurted out. James stopped changing and peered at Sirius like he grew three new heads. "You, obviously." James answered. Sirius widened his eyes. He would have exclaimed, "WHAT?" but thought better of it. So he sat up carefully not waking Remus. "Um… okay, why me?" was his exclamation instead.

"Incase you never noticed, he's a lot more comfortable with you." James began tying his shoes. Sirius sat on the bed grumpily. He didn't have a problem with missing school. What he had a problem with was that James was just going to ditch Remus because he wanted to get paid to baby-sit. The bastard…

"Come on. I'm not trying to get out of baby-sitting. Someone has to get Remus's school notes." James explained. He grabbed his book bag and plopped in his necessary books. Sirius gave a few blinks. Alright, he never really thought about Remus's school work. Mainly just how Moony was going to survive his childhood all over again…

Sirius decided to save his pride and make a big deal out of it. "Fine then… Just go. But remember- you owe Remus and me a tube of chocolate! No- a bucket load!" Sirius haggled with himself for a moment. James rolled his eyes and headed out the door. "See ya!" he called. Sirius was preoccupied deciding whether or not he should get his weight in chocolate or a ton of chocolate, so he just waved.

Afterwards he slapped himself on the forehead. He winced at the strength of the slap. He really should have been careful. That or just don't leap with out thinking. In the end he gave a small shrug and crawled back under the blanket with Moony to go back to sleep.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"You are a moron Potter." James winced at the menacing tone Lily used on him. She was glaring at him too. Not really a good sign for souls mates, huh? "Listen babe, I'm not trying to-"Lily slapped him in the face for that "babe" comment. James rubbed his cheek that was now adorned with Lily's lovely red hand print.

James sighed wistfully and chased after her. Sirius better appreciate all I'm doing for Moony! Then James rounded a corner. A loud "WAIT FOR ME MY LOVE!" could be heard through out the hallways… As well as a loud SMACK!

………………………………………………………………………………………………

It was nice… Nice and floaty. Remus found floating a nice pastime. The child smiled and clutched onto the warm, soft thing he was sleeping against. The warm, soft thing moved. Remus frowned. Why was it moving? Remus wanted more sleep. He whimpered and tried to make it stop moving. It gave a low chuckle.

Remus was confused at first. Then he realized that this thing was laughing at him. But he did like the laugh. It made him feel all… fuzzy. Yes, fuzzy was the word. Remus opened his eyes. He met the equally nice face of Sirius, his new friend. He was really nice to Remus, and Remus liked it. Not a lot of people liked him but that's because...

Remus yawned and sat up. "Hello sleepy." Sirius greeted him. Remus gave a mere whimper from loss of sleep. "Sorry I woke you up. But I was hungry. What about you?" Sirius asked. Remus opened his mouth to respond but his stomach did the talking for him. Both Remus and Sirius looked at Remus stomach as it gave a low growl. Remus blushed a little.

Sirius shook his head and handed Remus a plate of food. Sirius had been down to the kitchen a few moments ago. Remus dug in to his food hungrily. Sirius raised an eyebrow but made no comment. A little while later, both plates were empty and their tummies full. Sirius set the plates on the bedside table.

Remus tilted his head and looked around curiously. There was an awkward silence on Sirius's part. Remus didn't notice, or took no notice of it. He just got up and wondered about. Sirius watched him all the while.

Finally after what seemed like forever Remus said something. "Um…" Sirius blinked. Well it was an improvement… "Yeah?" Sirius asked, trying to sound like he was open to questions, but not too eager to hear Remus ask for something. Sirius mind wheeled for a second.

Why should it matter Remus went to him for things? It was a peculiar feeling. He never truly felt it before. Sure, Sirius had the dire need to make sure Remus was never hurt or in trouble, but he really wanted to feel needed by Remus. Peculiar indeed…

Sirius quickly shook his head and focused on Remus, who was standing quietly watching his feet. "I was wondering what we are going to do until I can go home…?" Sirius thought about it for a second. What were they going to do?

………………………………………………………………………………………………

James was feeling rather well off with himself at the moment. Not only did he get the notes Remus needed from class, but he also got to talk to Lily civilly!

Err… Okay, so it was after getting slapped (twice) and it was about how Remus got so sick, but hey! It was still a conversation! He even got to touch her! Alright, so it was just her fingertips when she handed him the notes, but it was so… great.

James was practically skipping back to the dorm when he hit into a wall. Ouch… Mental note, no more skipping unless eyes are open! Off he went skipping again… and he still hit a wall.

Oh well! It was worth it! Oh! Maybe he would brake his nose and Lily would find him, feel sorry and nurse him back to health! Err… right that thought was a little masochistic but, it works in James mind.

James stopped skipping and just walked back to the dorm. There were some people in the common room. They were studying or doing homework so James just bypassed them. He walked up the stairs and to his dorm he shared with Peter, Sirius, and Remus.

As he got closer to the door, he could have sworn there were some weird noises going about in there. James shrugged and turned the knob, what he got surprised him. As soon as he opened the door he was met with an interesting picture of Sirius.

Sirius was on top of James bed wearing his lose black pajamas, as well as a red vest and their school tie around his head like a bandana. He carried a wooden sword and was proudly supporting a weird accent of "Arg," and "Ayes!" Remus was on the bed opposite of Sirius, also holding a sword and wearing a bandana-tie.

"Arg! You shall never get me treasure you scurvy dawg!" Sirius whooped and gave Remus a thwack on the head with his sword. Remus rubbed his head. "Owe! Sirius! You said we can't hit heads!" Remus complained. He made to hit him back but Sirius blocked him. Sirius pointed at his bandana, "Pirate!"

Remus rolled his eyes. He jumped on top of Sirius and brought the Black boy down. Obviously Sirius was faking, but it was still sort of cute. "Aye! No! I've been brought down! I said no jumping on me!" Sirius whined in a dog like way. Remus laughed and pulled at the tie around Sirius's head. "Pirate." He simply mocked.

Sirius feigned hurt. He clutched at his heart. "Alas! Brought down by me own words! Cruel fate! Why have you forsaken me?" He gave one chocked sob and fell back, pretending to be dead. Remus laughed as Sirius twitched twice.

James coughed once. Sirius brought his head up. "Oh, heya Jamsie!" he chirped as though he hadn't just died a moment before. Remus looked up as well. He looked back down as soon as Sirius fell off the bed. Sirius winced and Remus crawled to the edge of the bed. "You okay?" he asked. Sirius nodded. "Peachy keen, jelly bean!"

"What's a jelly bean?" James asked. Sirius shrugged. Remus giggled. His friend was really funny! James smiled at the sight. His best friends looked like they were having a good time. He didn't know when Remus or Sirius looked so happy. Maybe that's what childhood does to you.

James wondered if Sirius or Remus had this kind of childhood growing up. From wheat Sirius ever told him, his parents made him take lessons in piano, dancing, violin, proper edict, fencing, archery, and only lord knows what else. He was constantly pressured and bullied and called the Black Sheep because of his odd appearance and attitude.

Remus… James knew all about Remus. It was second year, and he caught Remus in the library. Remus told him the horrible truth of his childhood. His father was a wizard, his mother was a muggle. His father eventually told his wife when their two year old son started causing things to fly.

His mother left him with his father. His father went into a downward spiral a year or two later. He gambled, drank, and cursed himself for falling in love with a muggle. When Remus's father had nothing left to lose except Remus, he betted against Greyback. Greyback lost… and Remus suffered the price. His father locked him up for a very long time.

He was beat down at a young age. Eventually, he was removed from his father's hands and placed in a distant relative's home. Even there he was shunned. A year later he got his letter to Hogwarts and took his exist. James wondered if Remus even heard the words, "I love you," from his family.

James softened his eyes and went over to sit on the floor with Sirius. "Hey Remus," James said. "Do you want to know a game I played when I was a kid like you?" Remus blinked. "You were a kid?" he asked incredulously. Sirius hid his laugh behind his hand. James gave him a good pinch. "'Course I was. But just because don't act like one," he sent a nice glare at Sirius, "doesn't mean I wasn't."

Remus shrugged and sat on the floor with Sirius and James. "Sure. What game did you play?" Remus asked. James gave a big grin. Play time… To be honest it some what made Remus a little paranoid. But heck- it was a game. So he went along and played with James.

A/N: Right-o. Done for now. See ya!
