Yay! I'm uploading again! Horay! This is still sorf of short but interesting stuff happens so...yeah. I wanted to make it clear that this took place in the suburbs (sp?) of London in the mid to late 70s (hence the "no one likes gay people" line). And also, is three bottles of beer enough to make a 16 year old boy tipsy? I wouldn't know because I don't drink. Oh, and if I said bear anywhere I ment beer, I just fail at life. Oh! And if you don't rember Remus is wearing a Rolling Stones tee-shirt. So...yeah. I'm just getting over a cold. That's about it...enjoy!

Warm Grey Eyes

Chapter 5

"So…are you okay?" Sirius asked again as Remus stared up at him with wide eyes.

"Um…oh, yeah," Remus mumbled as he felt himself blush.

Sirius just chuckled and looked down at him amused.

God, he thinks you're mental, Remus yelled at himself in his head as there was an awkward silence in already awkward conversation. You're making yourself look like a complete idiot! Stupid boy! He tried to appear calm as Sirius' silvery grey eyes traveled all around his face.

"Are you just gonna stand there and stare at me or would you like to sit down?" Remus asked once he gathered enough of his thoughts to present the usual cool and calm attitude he had.

"Oh, right!" It was Sirius' turn to blush as he stumbled while bending down and turning around to sit next to the younger boy. He laughed nervously as he practically ended up on Lupin's lap.

"Sorry," he said quickly as they both moved away.

"It's…whatever," Remus shook his head as he looked down at his hands.

"And sorry for staring at you early. James said it was creepy and that I looked like I was gonna rape you…which I wasn't going to. And I'm still not. 'Cause that would be stupid of me. Not that I don't think you're attractive or anything, it's just that I'm not a rapist. And I don't support rape in any possible way. I should probably shut up now. You think I'm an idiot, don't you? Oh God, I'm really sorry…" Sirius ramblings faded as Remus laughed at him.

"It's fine, really," Remus chuckled, "plus, you I don't think you're an idiot."

"Really?" Sirius looked up surprised, "you were actually listening to what I was saying a second ago, right?"

"Yeah," Remus laughed again, "I thought it was…cute."

Sirius blushed again as he smiled at Remus who, looking very embarrassed, picked up his half full bear bottle and chugged the remaining fluid.

"And if anyone was to think someone was an idiot here, you would have more reasons to think I'm the idiot," Remus mumbled after putting the bottle next to the other two he had already drained. As he looked at the three bottles he made a mental note that he should concentrate on not reviling any embarrassing person information; something he often had a hard time doing after three or four beers, even though he held alcohol better that most his age.

"You are not an idiot," Sirius said firmly as he watched Remus closely. "I mean, you're the guy who skipped a grade, right?"

"Well…yeah, but socially I'm practically mentally challenged," Remus shrugged.

"You think so?" Sirius raised an eyebrow, "Because I've heard that a lot of girls like you. Something about sexy and mysterious…"

"Well I'm not exactly looking for attention from girls…" Remus mumbled, regretting it the second it escaped his mouth.

What happened to your no sharing personal information plan? He screamed at himself.

"You're gay?" Sirius asked raising an eyebrow.

"Um…yeah," Remus said, telling himself that he had imagined the happiness in Sirius' eye that he thought he saw. "You can yell at me if you want…" he mumbled, knowing how most people felt about homosexuals.

"I'm not going to yell at you," Sirius smiled kindly. "I'm actually gay, too. But I'd appreciate it if you didn't spread that around."

"Yeah," Remus smiled back. "I'd rather you not tell anyone about me, too. I honestly wouldn't have told you but…I've had a bit to drink."

Sirius just laughed at the boy.

As silence fell over the boys Remus leaned against the railing and listened to the laughter and music coming through the walls. Remus recognized the music as Pink Floyd. There were only a few other people in the room that the stairs led to, everyone was being quiet. They were either couples talking and giggle quietly, like Remus and Sirius had been moments before, or people who had been forced to the party against their will, like Remus, either reading or sipping their beers silently.

Sirius stared at Remus as his eyes searched around the room.

"From this angle his lips look even hotter…" Sirius mumbled to himself as he licked his own lips.

"Excuse me?" Remus asked as he turned around.

"Oh, nothing," Sirius chuckled as he felt himself blush.

"Oh…okay," Remus looked back over to the other people in the room.

The song changed to 'Sympathy for the Devil' by the Rolling Stones and Sirius smiled as he watched Remus start lip syncing the words.

"You like the Stones?" Sirius questioned.

"Yeah," Remus smiled. "You like Alice Copper?" he glanced at Sirius' shirt.

"Yeah," Sirius blushed, feeling like an idiot as Remus laughed under his breath. Sirius opened his mouth to apologize but Remus cut him off.

"If you apologize or say you're an idiot one more time I am going to slap you," Remus smiled teasingly as he crossed his arms and slouched to lay on the stairs, his eyes glued on Sirius the entire time.

"You know," Sirius said after looking at Remus for a few seconds, "um…when you were talking to Din you seems really upset, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Remus sat up and nodded as Sirius. As he shifted, Remus' knees brushed against Sirius'.

"Okay, just wanted to make sure," Sirius said quietly as he looked down at their knees that were still touching.

"That's really sweet," Remus smiled as he stood up, grabbed his book, and walked down to the last step before turning back around. "You know, most people may see you as some kind of bad-ass player but I think you're a sweetheart."

He leaned over Sirius and, without thinking twice, softly pressed his lips against the other boy's. After a second he pulled away slightly and opened his eyes to see the other boy's warm grey eyes staring back.
