Butterflies erupted in his stomach, a fierce tornado of light fluttery wings. Not that a few hadn't been floating around there before, but Remus' words made them procreate and now Sirius was going to be burping up butterflies for weeks.

"Sirius?" Remus started to pull his hand away, biting his lower lip slightly. Sirius pulled his hand back, bringing the bandaged appendage to his face, kissing the fingertips lightly.

"Moony wants Padfoot," he whispered against Remus' hand, eyes partially closed, "Does Remus want Sirius?" Remus tugged his hand back slightly before pressing it against Sirius' cheek, cupping the other's face very gently. Sirius looked at the hungry wolf that swam in Remus' eyes, the intense desire that flared from Moony. He needed Remus' answer, not Moony's.

"Yes. We both want you," Remus murmured, a small smile cracking his lips. Sirius couldn't help the grin that split his face and he leaned into Remus' hand, taking the werewolf's other hand and kissing the palm.

"Good," he whispered, scooting his chair closer, "I want you too."

Remus' smile turned down slightly, the tiny frown making Sirius' heart jump.

(Was this what it was like to truly be in love? That sickening head-over-heels, I'll-do-whatever-you-want-me-to kind of love?)

"I'm dangerous Sirius."

"I know. I've seen it. Got a scar or two from it."

Remus smirked but his warm eyes grew a little hard, the frown twisting further. Sirius could practically see the logic in his mind working, coming up with multiple reasons as to why this was wrong, why this wouldn't work.

"We really shouldn't…this isn't going to work like you think it is Sirius."

Sirius had to resist the urge to roll his eyes and instead took both of Remus' bandaged hands in his.

"Which is exactly why it will. You know that I like to prove you wrong. Watch me, watch us," he said, tilting his head slightly, "I'll crush any of your reasons."

"No, no you won't," Remus tugged his hands away and curled up into something resembling the fetal position, still facing Sirius though.

"Yes I will," Sirius growled, getting up to sit on the bed.

"No Sirius. We can't. Even if it's what Moony wants, I can't give into him. I can't let him force you into something you don't truly desire…," Remus sat up, pulling his knees to his chest just like he had the previous night. Sirius wanted to pull him close again, wrap his arms around that damaged body, protect him from himself.

"And how do you know that I don't desire it, you?"

Remus shivered at Sirius' tone, eyes closing for a moment.

"Because you're Sirius fucking Black. You're a pureblood. You've shagged half of Hogwarts. Sirius Black is not going to date a boy, let alone a werewolf or his best friend," Remus dropped his head onto his knees and sighed.

"Remus, Remus, Remus. Here's where I start proving you wrong."

He wove a hand into Remus' hair, coaxing the teen to raise his head. Sirius slid his hand down the side of Remus' face, cupping his cheek lightly and leaned in. The kiss was soft, gentle with barely a dash of overpowering desire thrown in. Sirius couldn't resist himself; Remus tasted far too delicious. The moan from the werewolf's throat practically murdered all of Sirius' self-control as he pulled away.

"One for Sirius, none for Remus," he whispered, his breath already coming fast despite the rather chaste kiss. Remus laughed softly, the sound making Sirius grin, his stomach all twisted with joy, heart light again. This was indeed something more than lust, more than platonic friendship.

"Oh, won't the girls be jealous of me. I won the heart of Sirius Black without doing a thing," Remus said, coming to sit next to Sirius and kiss him again softly. Sirius grinned halfway through the kiss, which only made Remus giggle and forced them to start all over again.

Sirius really didn't mind one bit.
