Full moon night had been surprisingly easy to endure for Sirius, he didn't needed to do anything. The servant had the registry tattoo on his neck that automatically enlarged the silver cage and made the servant to lock himself up one hour before the sundown. The silver weakened the werewolf that much that the beast remained huddled in the center to avoid burning with the bars. The next morning Lupin was serving the breakfast as always. He looked paler and slower but had the usual cheery attitude. If Lupin was feeling ill he wasn't showing it.
'Sirius I'll pick up your new suit at the tailor's house. Is there anything else you want from the town?
'Hmmmgf.'
'What?'
'I said don't interrupt me while I read the newspaper.'
'I'm sorry but I really need to know.'
'Bah! Do whatever, just read my mind as always. Today I will return home earlier so be prepared.'
Sirus left the house in a rush and Remus was left confused, this little routine had become their everyday life and without thinking about it too much both were happy with it.
The afternoon was as busy as usual at the office. Sirius had received advice from his doctor to embrace a more peaceful lifestyle, he could develop a heart condition if he didn't. He had thought about it and it had been hard to make the decision to drop some of his business to gain more time for himself and a healthier life. He was making millions per year anyways, and had a fortune saved at Gringotts.
All that extra stress wasn't necessary in his young age, maybe now he would have time to meet new people, dance or even modify the muggle motorcycle he had bought. He didn't had an exact plan for his new free time but he knew that from now on he would be calmed and joyful and…What the hell was going on across the street?
He watched from his window that many people were gathering around some sort of accident. There was something that seemed like a body beneath a white sheet. The aurors were there even his friend James, who waved him and ran to meet him inside the office.
'Sirius! Is Remus at home?'
'What kind of question is that, what does Remus has to do with anything?! What happened over there?'
'Look Sirius, don't freak out, there has been a murder. We found the body of a young man with tawny hair, slim, light skin and shabby clothes. They left his face unrecognizable from the beating. We don't know his identity.'
'No…is not him…IS NOT HIM! Why do you ask for Remus if it can't be him?!'
'Calm down Sirius, wait!'
Black he had to arrive home as soon as he could. He shouldn't have allowed the servant leave the house, James had trusted him to keep him safe and out of the streets. Now he was dead. That couldn't be.
'Lupin! Lupin! Come fucking here right now!'
Just silence.
'REMUS!'
Silence around the house.
'NO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! You have to…please...'
Sirius Black broke down, the anguish and stress made his legs weak. He was crying inconsolably and shaking, he couldn't deal with losses even if they were minimal, not since Regulus death. His little beloved brother.
'Regulus…'
'Sirius?'
'Remus? You worthless shit, where have you been?!' Black questioned furious.
'I-I was at the ceiling, repairing it.' Answered Lupin really frightened by the extreme reaction.
'Did you went out to the town? Answer!'
'Y-yes, as I told you this morning I went to the tailor to get your suit.'
'You can't go out anymore. Understood? Stupid piece of crap.'
'Yes.'
'Shit…what are you looking at?!'
'Sorry, I'll bring you water.'
Sirius couldn't stand up and barely managed to crawl to the sofa. He was very shaky and deeply embarrassed. He had overreacted, but in his defense the dead body description fitted Remus perfectly. Too perfectly to be a coincidence. He had the feeling that someone was looking for Remus to stop him to keep talking about the private affairs at the Pettigrew household. He had to quickly send a message to his friend James.
Meanwhile Remus was at the kitchen preparing a relaxing infusion, the tea may calm down his master. He just couldn't understand what has he done wrong, it was his fault that the master was upset for sure but couldn't find his mistake. He had gone for the master's suit, cleaned the house, ordered his books by topic, repaired the ceiling leaks and out of nowhere found the master crying and yelling at the living room out of his mind.
The master had forbidden him to go out, he decided not even go to the garden he didn't wanted to make him angry. Poor master had tons of responsibilities and he didn't wanted to be a burden to him. Remus should have been used to his emotional ups and down by now.
The master acted very strangely that night after the melt down. He invited Remus to watch a movie with him (Sirius sat on the couch and Remus on the floor obviously). The simple gesture to chat without insults felt so good, they even laughed together.
The master looked so handsome when he was relaxed, he was just 21 years old. He was no longer wearing a tie and had his hair unusually messy. When he wasn't frowning looked much younger like a teen, and that beautiful smile could light up the whole room.
By bead time Remus laid on his mat feeling very grateful to be in that house. He had the hope that Sirius would let him stay as his servant. He felt terrified when he thought of the dark creatures services agency, if he returned there he was going to be sold to another family or worst… to a whore house. He would love to stay with Sirius who gave him shelter, food and what was more important: he had never hit him.
He hugged his pillow tightly and closed his eyes. Desiring everything went better for him, imagining his life as a student of the same age as Sirius, going to the same college and being friends with him. Graduating and becoming a healer. That would have been his ideal life.
Instead of that he had been attacked, turned into a monster and abandoned by his parents. Frightened and hurt with nowhere to go…anyways for one night he was able to dream about happiness in a safe home.
