Remus sat back with a contented sigh. Sirius rested his head on Remus's bare chest and sighed. "Forgive me for the detentions?" Sirius asked breathlessly.
"Not yet Black." Remus said.
"Would you break up with me if I told you I loved you?" Sirius asked looking down at Remus's pale chest.
"Why would you ask that?" Remus asked sounding angry.
"My love. It's not good. I don't know what real love looks like so if I told you I loved you, would you love me back? Because I don't know what love feels like." Sirius said shaking softly as he buried his head deeper into Remus's flat chest.
"Do you feel this?" Remus asked as he put his hand on Sirius's back. Sirius nodded. "Do you feel this?" Remus asked as he flicked Sirius's head. Sirius's eyes went wide and he looked up at Remus who laughed. "Don't be dumb. You know what love feels like." Remus said.
"What?" Sirius asked rubbing his head.
"What do you think James is? A donkey?" Remus laughed. "Well maybe. But he does love you like a brother."
"James is a git." Sirius said though Remus saw the small smile that formed on his boyfriend's face.
"And what do you think I am?" Remus asked. "Just because I haven't spelled it out for you doesn't mean I don't care for you. Actions speak louder than words Sirius." Remus said as he ruffled Sirius's hair much like one would a dog.
"But if I love you, would that be okay too?" Sirius asked.
"Why are you asking me?" Remus asked as he continued to pet Sirius's too long hair.
"My love, it's bad. It hurts people." Sirius said in a small voice.
"The great Black heir, scared to love. What an absurd idea." Remus laughed.
"I'm not joking. Everyone I love gets hurt. It's my fault." Sirius said.
"People get hurt. That's just life. It's not your fault that you care about people." Remus said.
"So it's okay then?" Sirius asked. "If I fall in love with you?"
"I guess I can live with that." Remus laughed. "I'm alright with you being a moper sometimes. But if you think I'm going to let you ask stupid questions like that then I'll have to punish you." Remus said pinching Sirius's ear.
"Ow!" Sirius swat Remus's hand away. "I'm not a moper!" Sirius huffed.
"Then do these questions have to do with the letter you got last night?" Remus asked.
"I thought you were asleep." Sirius said.
"You woke me up when you got out of bed. Not to mention that stupid owl tapping the window." He said holding up his hand. "And when you weren't looking the rotten thing sat on my shoulder and bit my finger."
"Poor baby." Sirius cooed as he kissed Remus's cut finger.
"Shut up." Remus rolled his eyes and pushed Sirius's face away.
"Do you want to read it?" Sirius asked as he dropped the letter on Remus.
"Only if you want me to." Remus said not touching it.
"Go ahead." Sirius said sitting up and looking away from Remus.
"Your uncle is dead. His possessions included a letter from you. You wretched boy, you killed him. Just like you killed the house elf and the dog and you've tainted your brother. You are a sickness. A disease, killing off the noble house of Black. I thought I could purge this sickness out of you, but clearly I cannot. I have begun the paperwork to transfer you to Durmstrang. You will know when it is finished. Begin packing, I will not put up with a fuss. Wulburga." Remus finished the letter and looked at Sirius's back where it was hunched over.
"It's official. I'm transferring." He said. Remus was silent. "Did you hear me?" Sirius asked looking at Remus who said nothing, just laid back against the pillows. "Remmy, I'm sorry." Sirius said as he began to move closer to Remus with a frightened look in his stormy eyes.
"I should probably go to bed." Remus said as he got up and went to his own room. Sirius watched him go as tears welled in his eyes. He went over and pulled James's curtains open and shoved James off the bed before hopping into the warm sheets.
"Oi!" James huffed as he got up and looked at Sirius with a sleepy anger. "Scooch." James said pushing Sirius over so they could both fit.
"Jamsie. I think Remus broke up with me." Sirius wailed.
"We'll deal with it in the morning Sirius. Just let me sleep." James said tiredly.
"Promise you'll take care of it for me?" Sirius sniffled.
"Mhm." James hummed.
"Ok." Sirius mumbled as he fell asleep.
