Ah, your reviews made me smile :D Thank you everyone!

I hope you like this chapter, even though it's slightly shorter (sorry)!

Teasing

Sirius looked slightly shocked, but let out a quiet laugh. "Well damn," he said, running a hand through his hair. "Damn."

"You don't want to talk to me anymore, do you? It's okay, I understand," Remus said quickly, feeling the heat rising to his cheeks as Sirius kept looking at him in awe.

"Oh come on, Remus," Sirius said. "There's nothing wrong with you fancying me, really. Everyone fancies me. I'm Sirius Black."

Remus rolled his eyes. "Of course."

"Hey, I'm serious. Don't laugh," he said, his eyes narrowing. "I am. I mean it. I'm glad you told me. I'm really flattered. It's nice to know that someone likes me for more than just my looks, because, let's be honest, all of those girls who are "in love" with me don't know the first thing about me."

"But you don't feel the same way, do you?" Remus asked, trying not to let Sirius know how nervous he was.

"I'm... well, you know that I'm not... you know," Sirius said, looking sympathetic. "I'm straight."

Remus nodded. "Yeah, I know. I just hoped. It's fine."

Sirius smiled and shook his head. "No, it's not fine. I'm sorry. Nobody deserves that, and I wish I could help you."

"Don't worry about it, Sirius," Remus said quietly. "You're a great friend. Thank you so much for understanding.

Sirius stared at him for a moment before pulling him for a hug. It took Remus a moment to relax into the hug, and then he let a smile make its way to his face.

When they pulled apart, Remus was greeted with a smirk from Sirius.

"What?" Remus asked.

"Oh, nothing."

"Tell me," Remus urged desperately. Sirius just continued on smirking.

"You had a dream about me, huh?" he said. "So... tell me. What happened exactly?"

Remus flushed and let out an embarrassed cough. "Nothing."

"Sure," Sirius said. "You said we were doing stuff. What does stuff consist of?"

"Use your imagination!" Remus said. "I know you have a dirty mind."

"Oh!" Sirius said, waggling his eyebrows. "So it was something dirty... interesting, Moony. Never knew you were like that."

"Shut up," Remus murmured, looking away. "Let's just go back to the dorm."

"Fine," Sirius said. "But Rem. In all seriousness, I'm okay with it. Don't feel like it's changed our relationship or anything."

Remus smiled at him and nodded. "You're the best."

"I know, right?" Sirius said with a grin.

##

Over the next few days, Remus figured that Sirius was enjoying Remus' crush a lot more than he let on. At first he thought he was just being paranoid, but he started to realise that Sirius was doing things to purposely turn Remus on.

Remus tried very hard to ignore it, but he was with Sirius too much to ignore it all of the time. He just hoped that James and Peter wouldn't notice Sirius' obvious change in behaviour towards Remus.

He wasn't exactly annoyed that Sirius was acting differently – the opposite actually. He loved it when Sirius bent over in front of him or touched him in unnecessary places, but sometimes he felt like it was leading him on too much and it would hurt more when Sirius finally gave up on his teasing.

"Hey Remus, are you okay?" James asked, snapping Remus out of his thoughts.

"Uh, yeah. Why?"

"Peter just ate all of your chocolate and you haven't even told him off."

Remus' eyes widened and he glared at a very chocolate-faced Peter Pettigrew, who shrunk back in his chair and shrugged helplessly. "I was hungry!"

"Something else on your mind, hm?" Sirius asked him.

"No. Nothing on my mind, actually," Remus said, sending Sirius an annoyed look. "Peter, you'd better buy me some more chocolate next time we go to Hogsmeade..."

Peter nodded quickly.

"Guys, I'm going to use my love potion on Lily today," James whispered.

"You really shouldn't," Remus said. "I mean, love should be natural. Not forced."

"Look, it's the only way I'll get her to be with me," James said. "I need to do it."

"It's still not right," Sirius said.

"You're not right, Sirius," James said. "Not right in the head."

"Take that back, you git!" Sirius said, tossing a cushion at James, who ducked, sending the cushion at the back of Lily's head across the room. Sirius winced as she turned around.

"If that was you, Potter, I swear I'll-"

"It wasn't me!" James yelled, holding his hands up. "Blame Sirius!"

Lily looked dubious, but turned her attention to Sirius. "Black," she said angrily. "Do that again and I'll-"

"-I'm sorry, did you guys hear something?" Sirius said loudly, cutting her off. "Must have been my imagination. Come on guys, let's go."

They all followed him upstairs leaving Lily spluttering in the Common Room, looking furious. Remus had given her an "I'm sorry" look before departing with the others.

"I'm going for a shower," Sirius stated abruptly when they entered the dormitory, pulling his shirt off and throwing it at Remus.

Remus tried to tear his eyes away from Sirius' bare chest but found he couldn't, and he knew Sirius was watching him. Then, Sirius pulled his trousers off so that he was just walking around in his boxers. Remus closed his eyes and tried not to think about it.

"Hey Remus," Sirius said, making Remus open his eyes. Sirius was just inches away from him and Remus felt as though he couldn't breathe. "Pass me that towel, would you?"

"Mhm," Remus mumbled, grabbing the towel from the rack next to him and passing it to Sirius, all the while keeping his eyes on Sirius' chest and trying his hardest to refrain from lunging at him hungrily.

"You okay?" Sirius asked him.

"Mfff."

Sirius looked amused and smirked. "What was that? Mfff?"

"Uh," Remus mumbled, staring down at the evident bulge in Sirius' boxers.

Sirius followed his gaze, and Remus blushed furiously. "I think you need to cool off again."

"Uh huh."

"Have fun," Sirius said, turning on his heel and walking towards the bathroom door, looking back to wink at Remus before he disappeared behind the door.

Remus breathed out slowly, trying to stay calm.

"What was that about?" James asked, looking slightly confused. "Was he flirting with you?"

"That's... that's disgusting, James!" Remus said quickly, pulling his curtains shut and closing his eyes.

He thought of Sirius. Sirius in the shower. Sirius naked. Sirius wet. Sirius in the shower, naked and wet...

He imagined what it would be like to be in there with him. Pressing up against him, touching him.

Letting out a soft moan, Remus moved his hand down under his boxers and immersed in images of Sirius.
