Sirius couldn't sleep. He had gone up to the dorms to hopefully catch a little sleep, due to the fact that the other day, when he and Remus spent the night together, they didn't actually sleep. . .

He was a little tired, but instead of lying in bed in a sleepless daze, he decided to go to the kitchens to see how far Remus had progressed with Peter. He made his way down the stairs and through the common room. He passed James who seemed to be in his own form of la la land, he made a mental note to ask him about that later, and then out the portrait hole. He past the 'chivalrous' sir Codagan, and continued on his way despite the portraits jeers.

Being the stealthy marauder that he was, he quickly picked up the low groans coming from the center of the hall. He quietly tiptoed over to see the one sight that slightly made his heart want to wrench out of his chest, and made a sob spring to his lips.

"Remus?"

"Si-Sirius?" the tawny haired boy barely managed

"Remus" Sirius sunk to his knees "What happened, who did this to you?" he carefully lifted Remus' head and rested in his lap, gently brushing the hair out of his face. Remus had gained a black eye, a swollen and bleeding lip, a thin gash running from his hairline to his jaw, and scrapes and bruises along his arms, stomach, and legs.

"It doesn't matter" Remus spluttered spitting blood

"doesn't matter, Remus, you- you look terrible, are you ok, we have to get you to Madame Pomfrey, who did this, I swear I kill him!" Sirius was so angry his vision was disturbed by a veil of red

"I'll be fine"

"No it's not, you have to go through hell once a month, who's cruel enough to make you go through more" Sirius was now trying to prevent himself from crying. To see Remus, his boyfriend, the only person he had truly loved, and had truly loved him, was a heartbreaking sight. He carefully lifted the youth into his arms, despite his feeble protest, and headed towards Madame Pomfrey's.

Madame Pomfrey promptly opened the door opened their approach, her eyes full of pity.

"Oh dear dear, dear, what happened"

"Some bloody son of a bitch attacked him, Remus, just tell me who it was, and I swear I'll kill him" Sirius pleaded laying him gently on the nearest available bed. There had been an unusually violent bludger at the previous days Hufflepuff verse Ravenclaw quiditch game, and most of the beds were occupied by players of the two teams. "Will he be ok" Sirius barked as soon as Madame Pomfrey began looking at him.

The woman pursed her lips together but then spoke "Yes, he should make a full recovery within an hour or so, I just am ad that he had to endure this. Mr. Lupin, who did this to you?"

"Remus, please tell us" Sirius' eyes were full of fear, worry, rage, and love, Remus couldn't lie to him, or hide it from him either for that matter

"Regulas"

Sirius' eyes went blank

-XOXOXOXO-

"Brilliant!" Snape burst, "better than I would've expected, and I suppose I could brew something for that ankle, and maybe do something about that scar, but the bruises will have to heal on their own" Snape said, an arm draped casually around Regulas' waist as they sat in a loveseat by the fire. Neither boy knew how much that small little gesture meant to each other. Regulas couldn't help leaning into his warm and smooth body.

"Now" Severus said after a comfortable beat of silence "We initiate phase two"
