Challenge—Without You

Chapter Five

Sirius grabbed Remus's hand. They only had two weeks left. Two weeks until they would leave Hogwarts forever. It was unreal, and strange. They would, of course, continue to see each other, and maybe live together, but Hogwarts had been their home, their starting point, and their comfort zone.

The years had passed like days, fifth year quickly becoming seventh. Sirius and Remus had grown to love each other, though neither could admit it, James's head had deflated a fair amount and Peter had received what would be his first and last kiss.

Sirius had spent a long time thinking to himself, which worried the others. Sirius Black did not think things through. He was spontaneous, often dragging the others down with him into his plots, no one knowing exactly what he had in mind. So, when he tapped Remus on the shoulder a week before the end of school and told him that he wanted to talk about something, Remus became obviously nervous.

"You don't think he's gonna break up with me, do you?" Remus asked James, putting his book down for the fifth time in about five minutes.

"I don't think so. No, Remus." James sighed, flipping through the magazine he was holding. "Do you think Lily would like this one?" He turned the magazine towards Remus and Peter. Peter shrugged and Remus stared for a few moments.

"No, it's too big." Remus finally decided.

"Can you have a jewel that's too big?" James asked, studying Remus before shrugging. "Anyways, Sirius can't stop talking about you, so it'd be stupid to break up with you. How about this one?"

"Too pink. Who wants a pink engagement ring? How can you be sure that he isn't gonna break up with me?" Remus picked up his book again, reading the same line five times over and none of it sinking in.

"Trust me. I'm great at all this relationship stuff. How about this one? It's an emerald. It'll match her eyes. Not too big, but it will leave a large dent in my bank account. What do you think?" James was grinning like an idiot and Remus rolled his eyes.

"Perfect."

"Excellent."

Without you the stars roar

"Remus, I'm glad you came. I wasn't sure you would." Sirius was lounged like a cat on the canopied bed that he had summoned in the Room of Requirement.

"Of course I came," Remus replied, plopping down on the bed next to Sirius. He had finally accepted that it was unlikely that Sirius was going to dump him, but now he was unsure. Sirius's eyes were blank and serious. He was scared to death.

He crawled across the bed towards Remus, placing his hand on Remus's shoulder. "Hey, you okay?" The hand on his shoulder felt awkward. Their touches had never felt wrong, but this did. Why didn't Sirius hug him?

"You're gonna dump me, aren't you?" Remus felt tears coursing down his cheeks and he felt ashamed on the tears, so he covered his face with his shaking hands.

"No, Remus! How could you even think that?" Sirius pulled Remus around, wiping the tears from his eyes. "I would never—! Is that what's been bothering you?" Remus nodded. "Oh, god. I'm so sorry, Remus." He pulled Remus closer to him, hugging the now sobbing boy. He held Remus until Remus stopped crying, and slowly sat up, wiping his eyes.

"Then what did you want to talk about?" Remus asked, turning to face Sirius.

Sirius chuckled. "I was actually going to ask you if you wanted to take our relationship farther." Remus looked at him in shock for a moment.

"Oh."

They looked at each other for a moment, before they both started laughing. Sirius was wiping tears from his eyes, from laughter. Remus recovered first.

"So . . ." he brushed his fringe behind his ear. "We should probably talk, then."

"You're right. What I was going to ask if you would like to go to the next stage of our relationship, and I was going to ask you if you wanted to move in with me after school." He paused, looking for a reaction. "Only, I wasn't going to say it so bluntly." Remus chuckled.

"And by next stage you mean sex?" Remus replied bluntly, his heart beating to fast he could hear the blood pulse around his head.

"Yeah."

"Okay."

"Okay what?" Sirius asked.

"I want to move in with you. And . . ."

"And what?"

"I want us to do it, right now, before I change my mind."

Sirius's lips claimed Remus's with a fierce passion that Remus had never felt before. He moaned, letting Sirius push him backwards on the bed, while his long fingers struggled to remove his shirt. Remus reached up to two handfuls of Sirius shirt and tug it away as he shrugged off his own shirt, Sirius parted their lips, both panting, as he pulled his shirt off his arms.

He grinned a feral grin, before pouncing on Remus's pale, bare chest. Remus gasped as Sirius's powerful tongue kneaded his nipple, his hand working at the other one. Sirius was smiling, staring straight at Remus's writhing form beneath him. Remus's eyes were shut tightly, his mouth open in wide, silent gasp.

Sirius sucked Remus's nipple hard. His teeth clamped down on it and Remus bucked up towards him. Swallowing a moan, Remus shoved his hand down Sirius pants. Sirius gasped, suddenly, his hips rolling onto Remus's hand, his mouth still clamped on his nipple. Remus pulled his hand quickly up Sirius's hardening erection. Sirius moaned, parting his lips. He lifted his head, a thin trail of saliva still connecting his mouth to Remus's nipple. Their eyes met and Remus registered the dazed look in Sirius's eyes. Slowly, Sirius took Remus's other nipple in his mouth and Remus tugged at Sirius's erection again, his own hardening his the confines of his pants.

Remus was on autopilot working his hand on Sirius's cock according to his own need, eyes shut tightly and brain lost somewhere in vast regions of pleasure coursing through his veins like fire. He could feel a wetness on his hand and somewhere it registered that it Sirius's cock weeping on his hand, and that they were both still wearing pants. He struggled to remove Sirius's pants, while still providing friction. He realized that Sirius has finally moved past his nipples, and was kissing his way down Remus's torso. His tongue snaked out of his mouth, and filled Remus's bellybutton, causing him to quiver.

Remus finally curled his fingers around the button of Sirius pants and pushed it out of the whole, ripping Sirius's fly down in the process. Sirius pulled Remus's pants off of the smaller teen without bothering to unbutton them. Their underwear was next to go, and then they were naked in front of each other again.

Sirius grabbed Remus's hand and dragged it away from his erection, and slid down, licking the head of Remus's own erect cock. Remus shuddered, letting his hands fall limply to his sides. Sirius grinned, and slowly took the first inch of Remus shaft into his mouth. Remus's hands lifted and they were in Sirius's dark hair, pulling his head up. Remus twitched on the bed, inching forward, trying to push more of his erection into Sirius's warm mouth. Sirius grinned, and took another inch into his mouth.

The breeze warms

"God dammit, Sirius, stop being such a fucking tease!" Sirius chuckled, the vibrations running straight up Remus shaft, causing him to quiver. Sirius, smirking, obliged by taking all of Remus into his mouth. Remus responded by bucking his hips, and Sirius laughed again. The vibrations caused by his throat this time were more intense, and he could feel Remus bucking and thrusting.

He could tell that the small male was about spill, and he quickly removed his mouth, earning a frustrated groan from the boy sprawled on the bed. He smirked and reached onto the floor, digging through the pockets of his pants for the lube he had brought. He pounced back on the bed, waving the tube in front of Remus.

"You ready?" he asked Remus, all ready untwisting the cap of the lubricant.

"As ready as I ever will be," he murmured, watching as Sirius spread the cool gel over his erection and two fingers.

Sirius crawled between Remus's legs, lifting them onto his shoulders, leaving Remus flat on his back. He pushed a finger against Remus's entrance. Remus whimpered. He slid the finger past the tight ring of muscles at his entrance. He pushed his finger in all the way to the second knuckle, before removing it, and pushing it back in slowly. Remus was groaning, trying to keep himself calm.

He felt the finger again, but this time it was joined by a second. They felt tight inside him, and he could feel the make scissor motions inside him. When they pulled out form a final time, Remus watched Sirius's cock apprehensively. It looked much bigger than two fingers.

Sirius positioned himself under Remus's legs, and slowly pushed the weeping head of his cock into Remus's entrance. Immediately Remus tensed up. Sirius stroked Remus's thigh, and when the smaller teen started to calm down, Sirius shoved into him in a single fast motion. Remus screamed. Sirius was having trouble controlling his orgasm, already, with Remus's tight ass surrounding him.

"Remy, you okay?" Sirius panted. Remus's amber eyes were wide with pain, but he nodded and Sirius shifted his hips gently, brushing Remus's prostate. Remus gasped loudly.

"Do it again," he whispered.

Sirius shifted his hips more this time, virtually removing his cock from Remus's ass before slamming it back in. Remus cried out, shoving his hips backward, impaling himself on Sirius's erection again. Sirius kept thrusting, but he could feel his erection begin to spill, and he knew his orgasm wasn't that far off. He grabbed Remus's neglected cock and pulled at it, forcing it to point his own was at. Remus's clenched his ass and Sirius grasped Remus's cock hard, his own threatening to flood. With a cry, Remus came all over his hand and Sirius followed inside Remus, before collapsing onto his lover.

"I love you, Remus," Sirius murmured from Remus's chest, unable to move from exhaustion. Remus lay wide-eyed, in shock. By the time he regained his voice, Sirius was dead asleep on his chest.

"I love you, too."

"Who owns the green pants?" called James, digging through the huge trunk they had used the past seven years. All four of them. It was enormous, and they kept in Hogwarts all year long. It had seemed like a great plan at the time, and now when they were leaving it seemed like one of the stupidest things they had ever done.

"Peter," Sirius responded. "Oy, Peter, that is most definitely my shirt! You don't even know who the Ramones are!"

"Neither do you! My shirt, Sirius," Remus smirked, pulling the shirt out of Sirius's hands. "And James, I think those are Sirius's boxers."

"Damn!" cried James. "I've been wearing them for months."

"Keep them, please," replied Sirius. "Remus do you want those socks?"

"Please," he handed them to Sirius. "Whose book is this?"

"Mine," Peter muttered, grabbing the book and shoving it in his trunk, burying it at the bottom.

"Porn, Peter? I expected better from you," James reprimanded with a grin. "All right, I'm not gonna ask about this one, and I'm also not gonna touch it. Sirius get your ass over here and grab your dildo." Sirius hung his head in mockery and grabbed the toy from the trunk.

"Oy, Peter, that's my shirt," cried Remus lunging for the shirt. "Sirius gave it to me for Christmas!"

"Who owns a remembrall?"

"Peter. James, your snitch is loose again."

"Sirius, that sounded so wrong."

"Oy, hands off of each other you two, or I will lock you in the trunk so help me Merlin."

"Peter's reading porn, though!"

"James your snitch is showing off."

"Stop it, Sirius!"

"Wait, why did no one tell me my fly was open?!"

"I did."

"SIRIUS!"

The girl smiles

They stood outside Hogwarts, waiting for the last Hogwarts Express. James saw Lily and went running off. Peter was off wanking off in a corner, and Remus looked longingly at Sirius grabbing his hand. Smiling they boarded the train, heading their separate ways but always keeping an eye out in case one of them passed by.
