Sirius lay awake in bed, thoughts swimming through his head. No matter how hard he tried, Sirius couldn't work out what Lily was trying to say. Well, of course, he knew she said Remus loved him, but was she being serious? Was this some kind of cruel joke? Sirius groaned and buried his face deep in his pillow.
"Sirius?" His head shot up. Remus had entered the room just as he ha groaned. "Sirius, are you okay?" Remus moved towards Sirius' bed and tenderly sat down on the edge. His hand moved to Sirius' head, encouraging him to turn around.
Sirius sat facing Remus, concern spread across his beautiful face. He held back a sigh of longing. "What's the matter?" Remus asked again.
"Nothing. Nothing's the matter. I just- I just- just couldn't sleep. So where've you been?"
"Oh, erm, just in the library, finishing off some essays."
Silence stretched between them, but a comfortable silence. Neither felt the need to break it or move away from it. Both where filled with so many questions, both filled with so many feeling towards the other, both terrified to talk about these feelings.
Finally, Sirius lay back down, and Remus to lay down into his bed. Still neither spoke, but their eyes met across the small space separating them. The golden stared deep into the grey, the grey admired the golden. So scared of what the other felt, they promised to theirselves that they would act as normal, until the other brought it up.
The third Quidditch match of the year had dawned: Hufflepuff vs Slytherin. The Gryffindors and Ravenclaws where relying on Hufflepuff to knock Slytherin out of the competition for the cup.
Sirius ran around the dorm, highly excited for the match. Remus laughed from his position on the bed, James was in the bathroom and Peter too was laughing at the overexcited Sirius. Gryffindor scarf thrown around his neck, Sirius jumped onto his/Remus' bed and slumped to his knees.
"Come on Moony! Get dressed! Get breakfast! Get moving!" Sirius pleaded, throwing clothes at Remus' head. Remus laughed and picked a pair of James' boxers off his head.
"We have plenty of time Sirius, the match doesn't start until 12, I don't see why your so excited this morning. We're not even playing!"
"I'm excited because Quidditch is the best thing the whole entire world! And because Hufflepuff are going to crush Slytherin and then we can win easily! So! Just! Get! Dressed! Even Wormtail is dressed!" Sirius gestured towards the fully dress Peter, complete with Gryffindor hat and scarf. At that moment James walked out of the bathroom, he too was dressed, and just looked towards Remus, who was wearing only pyjama bottoms.
"Just shove some clothes on Moony before Pads throws a fit."
"Urgh! Fine! Chuck me those clothes over there," Remus pointed to his neatly folded weekend clothes in his drawer, that had been opened by Sirius so he could throw more clothes around. Sirius bounded over, a beaming smile on his face and handed Remus his clothes.
Finally dressed, the Marauders made their way down to breakfast. The Gryffindors chatted excitedly, as did the Ravenclaws. The Slytherins and Hufflepuffs were a mixture of excitement and nervous. Remus sat at the far end of the Gryffindor table, followed by the other three. Lily and Alice were already there, helping themselves to pancakes an waffles. James, Sirius and Peter piles there plates high as they did every morning, but today they were joined by Remus.
When Sirius had finished his share, he started trying to drag his friends away down to the pitch. A disgruntled James finally gave in and they went down to the pitch. They were soon followed by the remaining seventh years.
The match was epic. For the first time in their seven years, the Marauders watched as Hufflepuff crushed the Slytherins, scoring 120 points within the hour, and only letting in four goals. The Slytherins in the stands were furious, the shame that came with being beaten by Hufflepuff was, in their opinion, the worst thing ever. And when half an hour later Hufflepuff caught the snitch, their stands erupted with screams of displeasure.
Sirius was overjoyed and promptly jumped up onto the seats. Whooping with pleasure. He pulled a laughing Remus up with him, then picked him up an hoisted him high in the air. Three quarters of the stands were celebrating, and Remus was the highest up, he'd been feeling sick if he wasn't so giddy.
The crowds made their way back to the castle, Remus was now securely on Sirius' back. His arms wrapped tighter around Sirius' neck as he ran up the stairs to the tower. As their speed picked up, Remus buried his face into Sirius' neck. The crowds were now lost and the pair were alone as they reached the portrait hole. They somehow managed to get through without Remus leaving his back. This was when Sirius realised his perfect opportunity, and he took Remus up into the dorm.
"What are you doing Sirius?" Remus questioned as Sirius dropped him onto the bed.
"We need to talk.."
"Oh"
"Yeah, oh... Well I was told something yesterday- something I shouldn't really have been told by that person.."
"Oh?"
".."
"Was it Lily?" Remus' voice was soft, barely making any noise, if the room hadn't been silent, it would have been lost.
"Yes, but don't get mad at her Remus, she didn't mean to, it just came out."
"Did she- did she tell you about how- how I feel?" Remus started fixedly at his hands in his lap.
Sirius moved and sat next to him, taking his hand, forcing him to look at him, "She did. She told me that you had feelings for me.. Is it true?"
The blush the rose in Remus' cheeks told him that it was, and that was all he needed. His hand took Remus' chin and pulled his face into his. Their lips met for only a second, then Sirius pulled away ever so slightly and whispered, "I do too Remmy, I do too."
When the night came, Sirius and Remus once again found themselves wrapped in one another's arms, but this time, it was no secret and it was no accident.
