Remus woke in a very soft comfortable place, his eyelids were heavy. Maybe he had finally died and gone to heaven, where he couldn't feel the constant pain, hunger and cold. There was only comfort he had forgotten existed long ago. Was this really heaven? No, he could remember waking up some times before, yes now he remembered everything…
Remembered being asked some questions by a very beautiful healer, he barely answer them before falling asleep again. When he woke Sirius was there and made him drink something bitter a potion maybe. Then had some nightmare and Sirius comforted him…Sirius cared for him…he wasn't angry anymore.
It took him a lot of will to open his eyes and tried to sit. He felt a hand over his chest that gently returned him to the rest position.
'Shhhh, it's alright. Go back to sleep.'
'Master?'
Black was lying next to Remus reading some papers and drinking tea. It seemed he had not left his side during the time he was unconscious. Even was wearing the same clothes he had the night before. His clothes were wrinkled, his shirt was unbuttoned and the sleeves folded over the elbows. The master looked very tired but for some reason was smiling.
Remus tried to sit once again and Sirius kept him lying down.
'Don't want to sleep anymore, eh? Alright I'll bring you dinner. Don't worry about anything.'
'But I am the one that should be taking care of you. I will go.'
'No, Lily said bed rest. I can do everything by myself, I had been living on my own for many years remember? '
Carefully Black prepared the food and potions, he was very proud of his cooking skills. This time he was going to make everything right. When Sirius arrived with the tray and told Remus all that was just for him the boy couldn't believe it. He got real food, not leftovers! Nobody had treated him that good. He was a werewolf, a monster that didn't deserved any kindness.
At first the amber eyed boy was relaxed but grew more and more anxious as he ate. He felt out of place resting on his master's bed, being cared for and treated with dignity. Felt like something horrible had to happen now, all that was too good to be true.
'Have you finished? Would you want another slice? I can cook you something else.'
'No, master please this is…I'm very grateful for all of this. I'm being a burden, you have already done enough for me by giving me shelter. I will go to the cupboard so you can have your bed back. I'm very sorry about all the trouble.'
'Please don't apologize, you are not a bother. I should have sought for medical attention for you long ago. Lily told me about your health conditions…I know that they had hurt you in all possible ways and I must tell you that you don't deserved it. You will be treated with respect and dignity as long as I live. It's a promise, I will take care of you. In fact I want to show you something.'
Because of Remus' fragile condition Sirius lifted him in his arms and headed to a room two doors next to the master bedroom. It was a very charming dorm, not very big but comfortable. With lovely light wood floor and sky blue walls decorated with classic paintings. There was a bed with fluffy white duvets and big pillows. It had a table with a reading lamp and at the background there was a red armchair and a bookcase full of art texts of all sizes and colors.
Sirius placed the servant at the bed. Remus thought that they were going to have another visitor. Someone famous perhaps. Until he saw his favorite pillow on the bed and his teddy bear made of rags. Also the wardrobe had his clothes. What was this about? Finally Sirius cleared his throat and began to explain.
'Remus, I can't have you in my bed daily unless…sorry is not the time for that. What I meant to say is that it's time you have your own room a decent space for yourself. So, this is it! This is your room!'
'I don't understand…Oh, I get a big wardrobe now! Thank you master Sirius you are very kind.'
'No, no! The wardrobe is just for your clothes. You are not going to sleep in there, I shouldn't have make you sleep in that stupid cupboard. That was wrong, this mansion has too much room and I gave you so little, I'm ashamed of that. This bedroom is the warmest and sunniest, you have a balcony to watch the garden. It's yours everything you see in here belongs to you. You earned this and is what you deserve.'
'This…This is what I deserve?'
'Don't cry Remus please! I'm sorry, of course you deserve much more. I will let you choose another bedroom a bigger one, I will get you a home cinema. Or is it the bed? We can change that. Please don't cry you break my heart.'
'It's perfect.' said Remus between sobs. 'This is the nicest gift someone has ever given to me, nobody had been this kind. Thank you…very, very much.'
'Is t-there something you would like to change?' asked Sirius a bit nervous, he contained the tears.
'No thank you I like it very much. It's beautiful.' Answered the boy wiping the tears away, without thinking too much he hugged Sirius tenderly. Black was relieved and pleased.
'Right, I will leave you here so you can rest. Keep the pajamas they are too short for me anyway. Emmm Remus…never mind. Have sweet dreams.'
With those last words Remus sank into the comfy pillows, this was the first time he had his own bed. A real bed...like he was worth anything. That was the sweetest felling. Now he was safe and the pain was gone. He wasn't in heaven but was floating on a fluffy cloud with the scent of Sirius Black.
