Remus nuzzled into the crook of Sirius' neck, inhaling the scent that was purely him. Being in Sirius' arms again was like coming home after a terrible business trip or waking up from a long nightmare. It was the first time that Remus felt truly comfortable and content in 13 years. He never wanted to let go again.
"I dreamed about this while I was in Azkaban," Sirius said softly, as if afraid to shatter the peaceful atmosphere. Remus instinctively tensed, the thought of Sirius being locked up in that place for so long when he was innocent was unbearable. It made him feel like he couldn't breathe, overcome with guilt and heartache and anger.
"Thinking about you, holding you again, was the only thing that kept me sane," Sirius finished quietly, and Remus tightened his hold around the other man's waist. He needed Sirius to know that this was real and he wasn't going anywhere - not ever again. Sirius sighed in relief at the action, understanding Remus' intentions behind it.
"I've been waiting for this for so long, Moony," Sirius said gratefully, and Remus smiled, though it was still tinged with sadness.
"So have I, Padfoot. So have I. But the wait is finally over." He could feel Sirius kiss the top of his head, resting his cheek on Remus' dirty blonde locks and mumbling "Thank Merlin."
