I'm sorry to disappoint anyone, but unfortunately, there's no Regulus in this chapter, which means no steamy ROR scene (just yet) XP

I tried to update asap so hopefully people will be happy XD

Sirius was sentenced to a week worth of detentions for his fight with James, and what made it worse was the fact that he had to spend these detentions with James, who was also being punished for being involved. Another thing that made the detention worse than ever was that he was having it straight after dinner. He'd already decided that he'd skip tonight's detention, seeing as he already had plans.

When Professor McGonagall had told James and Sirius what their punishment was, James had stalked off in the other direction, leaving Sirius by himself. He'd entered the common room and went straight up to his room after enduring a minute of people staring at him.

He'd been there ever since, lying on his bed, trying to forget everything that had happened with James and Remus and trying to focus more on his night with Regulus. He was slowly drifting off to sleep when the door opened and someone came into the room. Sirius wasn't sure if he wanted to know who it was, but he opened his eyes anyway to see someone sitting on the bed opposite him.

Sirius gulped and sat up in his bed. Remus looked a mess; his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he looked as if he'd been attacked by the Whomping Willow. He wasn't looking at Sirius, but he was reading a book that was resting on his legs. Sirius sighed and cleared his throat. Remus flinched, but didn't look up.

"...Hi," Sirius tried pathetically. There was no answer. Sirius tried again. "Look Remus, I know you're mad but please, can I speak to you?"

Remus looked up from his book for a second. The look in his eyes almost killed Sirius – a look of pure anger, hurt, hatred, betrayal. However, Remus didn't speak. He grabbed the curtains on his bed and pulled them together quickly, so that Sirius could no longer see him.

"I'm sorry Remus," said Sirius in a small whisper.

There was no answer, just the sound of Remus turning the page to his book.

"Please forgive me!"

No answer.

"I was an idiot."

No answer.

"Please just STOP ignoring me!" shouted Sirius, tears in his eyes. Once again, there was no answer. Sirius couldn't take it anymore. He got up and marched over to Remus' bed, wrenching the curtains open with force. Remus slammed his book shut and took in a deep breath.

"Rem? I said it before, and I'll say it again. I am truly sorry," Sirius said. "Could we just, you know... be friends?"

Remus laughed. "Friends?" he asked incredulously.

"Well, why not?" asked Sirius, a little bit happier that now Remus was talking to him.

"Why would you think," Remus said in a harsh tone. "That I would want to be your friend?"

"I can understand why you wouldn't. I know I was the biggest prick in the world, and I know I don't deserve to have you as a friend, but please. We were friends before we got together, and if we'd been just friends when I did what I did, then you wouldn't have been angry."

"True. But, you know what, Sirius? We were together when you did what you did, so I am angry. I'm lost, I'm empty, I'm stressed, I'm hurt, I feel like crap! You lied to me, you betrayed me... I trusted you! How could you do that to me?"

"I swear I didn't do it to hurt you," Sirius said desperately. "I promise you, I didn't want to ever hurt you."

"Why should I believe your promises? I can't trust you. For all I know, maybe you did want to hurt me. There's no telling with you. I just don't know! I don't even know why I'm talking to you right now, because at the moment I feel like hurting you. I want to hurt you as badly as you hurt me! I want you to feel it! Maybe then that'll make you realise how much things really do hurt, and then you'll think twice before cheating on someone in the future!"

"I don't know what to say," mumbled Sirius.

"Good," Remus said, pushing past Sirius and heading for the door.

"Wait!" shouted Sirius, running to stand in front of the door, blocking Remus' way. Remus gritted his teeth.

"Move."

"No, I'm not moving until we work this out," Sirius said.

"Sirius. I mean it. Move, right now."

"I'm not moving!" shouted Sirius. Remus closed his eyes in frustration and then grabbed Sirius by the arm and attempted to pull him away from the door.

"For god's sake! Move!" he shouted when Sirius wouldn't budge. "I want to leave this room because I can't stand it being in here with you anymore. Get out of my way!"

"I already told you," Sirius said calmly. "I will not move, until we fix it."

"Sirius?" Remus said angrily.

"Yes?"

"If you don't move away from the door right now, I swear I'll never speak to you again."

Sirius didn't move. He stood, rooted on the spot. Remus looked at him with tears in his eyes, and Sirius saw Remus' shoulders sag as he turned around and headed back to his bed without saying a word. Sirius watched as he slid under the covers, turning to face the wall.

"Remus?" he asked tentatively. "I... I really don't want our relationship to be like this. I just... I think we should at least remain friends."

Remus was obviously choosing to ignore him again, as no sound came out of his mouth.

"Look, I'm sorry I didn't let you leave, but I just think we should fix this sooner than later!" Sirius said.

No answer.

"REMUS!" yelled Sirius, losing his temper. He stepped towards Remus' bed and nudged him hard. "Would you at least listen to me?"

"I am listening to you," Remus said, sitting up.

"You are?" asked Sirius hopefully.

"What other choice do I have? You won't let me leave, and every single time I ignore you, you come right up in my face and make me talk to you!"

"Sorry about that," said Sirius.

"You have so many things to be sorry about! You're so frustrating! I thought you were something special! I thought I was the luckiest person in the world, but I was wrong. I feel luckier now that I'm rid of you," Remus spat, standing up and heading back to the door.

The words cut through Sirius like a knife, leaving him feeling more wounded than ever.

"You don't mean that," he said. Remus turned around and smiled maliciously.

"See what it feels like? It actually hurts, doesn't it? Imagine having to go through that pain, but a hundred times worse? What would that feel like?"

"I told you this before! I didn't want to hurt you!"

"But you knew that if I ever found out, I'd be devastated," said Remus. "If you didn't want to hurt me, then why did you do it in the first place?"

"That was the only time I did it," lied Sirius. "Just once, and it was an accident. I bumped my head, remember? I wasn't thinking clearly! Please, just... at least give me a chance to prove to you that we can still be friends."

Remus didn't reply immediately. He stared at Sirius for a second in disbelief.

"You are such a liar!" he shouted.

"I'm not lying!"

"I know you're lying! Here's a little tip, if you intend to lie to people, make sure tell everyone the same story!"

"What are you talking about?" Sirius asked.

"James told me you'd done it three times. And you told him that before I caught you last night... so you've cheated on me four times. That's not something I can just get over Sirius, and now you've lied to me about it. You're really not doing yourself any favours here."

"You know what?"

"What?" Remus said angrily.

"I don't know why I bother with you. Honestly. I've tried to make amends but you just won't allow me to make it up to you."

"Ok," Remus said. "I'm glad you've given up."

"I haven't given up. I'll never give up, but I just... I don't... ah, Rem... when have you ever seen me like this? Doesn't this show you how much I care?"

"You don't care! I know why you're doing it. You don't have any friends. Pete's heard what happened too, you know? He doesn't want to speak to you. James definitely doesn't want to speak to you, and I think you know I don't want to talk to you. You only want me to forgive you so you have a friend. Am I right?"

"No, you're not right."

"And I honestly hope that Regulus realises what a bastard you are," Remus continued. "I hope you lose him too. "

"How dare you?"

"Oh, so it wasn't just one time. It wasn't just something you did because you bumped your head. You really care about him, do you?"

"You know what? Fine, I admit. I do care about him. I love him," Sirius said. He saw the sadness in Remus' eyes, but continued anyway. "It's true. I kissed him at home and I felt so bad about it because I was with you and I cared about you too. I tried my hardest to forget what happened, but when we got back to school, I bumped into him and it happened again. That was the night you told me you loved me, and you don't know how guilty I was. I was so mad with myself, and I promised myself that I wouldn't do it again. Obviously, you know me – I'm an idiot. I kissed him again after Quidditch and I loved it. I just couldn't help it... I never wanted it to hurt you, and I know it did, but I didn't mean to, and I'm sorry. And then you saw what happened last night. It was when I realised my feelings for him, and I found out he felt the same way. I couldn't help being happy about it, but obviously there was a choice to make. You or Regulus? I'll be truthful with you Remus... I love him more than I ever loved you, and I don't mean it in a horrible way... I just mean it because that was how I had to make my choice. I just hoped that you would forgive me and we could be friends. Saying out loud now, I realise that I made a huge mistake, and I was horrible, and it's a lot to ask for."

Remus took a while to answer; he seemed to be thinking about what Sirius had said. He sighed.

"It is a lot to ask for," he said.

"Yes, and I'll understand if you hate me after all of that, but I'm just hoping that you have enough goodness in your heart to forgive me."

"You're right, Sirius. I hate you. I really really hate you," Remus said emotionlessly, pushing past Sirius and leaving the room.

Sirius dropped down on Remus' bed, trying to hold back the tears that were beginning to form. He tried not to get upset over it – he'd been expecting it to happen.

He knew now that Remus was right. He had no friends left. All he had was Regulus. He needed Regulus, otherwise he'd be alone.

Remus had completely ruined his mood and he suddenly wasn't so excited to meet up with Regulus tonight. He knew of course, that it would change as soon as he saw Regulus, and that was one of the reasons he knew he was in love with him. Every single time he saw his boyfriend, everything in the world – all of his problems – seemed to dissolve away. It was like Regulus was a cure to anything bad that had happened to him, and Sirius smiled. He was glad that he at least had someone in his life that cared about him, and that Regulus would be there forever because they were related. No matter what happened, Regulus would be in his life one way or another, and that was all he needed to think about at the moment to stop himself from breaking down and losing it completely.

Sooo xD
