A/N: Began: 3/23/13 End: 3/28/13

Ey guys. Feeling like shit still, so my writing will still be shit. Sorry about that. It's personal stuff and family stuff and school stuff and shit stuff. A shit load of stuff. Anyway, here's the next installment. Thanks for the… one reviewer. Look guys, I really appreciate reviews, and when I see a 4,000+ views and a handful of reviews, it bums me out more. PLEASE review. Please?

There is not beta for this. I'm a rebel.

We don't fall in love with the good in people. We fall in love with the fact that they're as terrible and wretched as we are. We fall in love with the bad that we share. We go through life knowing that we're a terrible human being in all senses of the phrase. And when we finally meet someone who did just as bad as we did, we connect. It's a sick, twisted fate. It's love. Terrible people with mutual atrocity.

So the rebel falling for the werewolf isn't all that a surprise. The rebel who defied his family, bullies those younger than him, smokes a little, and hates school. The werewolf who kept his secret under wraps, and now roams the school with animagi and can easily kill anyone he wants. They were meant for each other, right?

Sirius stared at Remus, still in disbelief at what he said.

"You think that… we're ready for… that?" he said.

Remus nodded. "Yes, quite so." He looked back at Sirius holding his gaze. "Unless if… you aren't, and that's okay. I can wait, I will wait."

"Are you ready? Remus, I don't want to jump into things you aren't ready for." Sirius sank further into his seat. "I want to make sure you're comfortable."

"I'm only comfortable around you; I can only be me around you." Remus brought a thumb up to Sirius' cheek, gently rubbing it.

Sirius looked off to the side, not knowing what to say to that. The two sat in silence for a good long time until they had to go to their next class and they separated. Remus made his way to Runes and Sirius went off to Care of Magical Creatures.

Sirius was particularly distant that day in class. Remus wanted to… with him. It was such a taboo subject, really. Even among wizarding folk, it was acceptable to wait until marriage for such acts. Did this mean that when they were all done with school, Remus intended to spend his life with Sirius? Did Sirius want that? Yes.

Or did he?

Remus was amazing. He was brainy and mature, but had a silly side to him as well. He also had a dark streak, though who could blame Remus for that? It wouldn't matter how strong a person he is, no one could take the hand he was dealt in life and not turn out a little bitter. But through the bitterness, Remus Lupin shinned. But could Sirius ever keep up with that? Could he ever be able to keep such a gem?

Remus could never last forever. Sirius was not good enough for him. The rebel needed to make sure everything he could do with him was done before the werewolf ran away.

Sirius would be happy to take it to the next level with Remus. Might as well take the honor with the time allotted for them.

Class ended faster than Sirius expected. He walked to lunch in a daze of deep thought. He sat down next to James and began to eat, each one of his actions robotic. Remus joined them along with Peter, and silence surrounded the group as they all ate. Sirius stole a look over at Remus. He wanted him so bad. He needed him. He desired nothing but to have Remus for himself. The werewolf caught him looking and his cheeks flushed.

"You can stop staring at me, Mr. Black." He said, looking down.

"You're so damn pretty though." A smirk played upon Sirius' face. "Almost as pretty as me, I dare say, Mr. Lupin."

"Well that's quite the compliment." Remus took a bite of his sandwich and leaned forward, sipping his drink.

"I think so." Sirius pulled on his own tie, loosening it.

"Boys, boys. Not at the table, please." James looked between the two. "Where is your decorum?"

"I lost whatever that means a long time ago." Sirius held his gaze with Remus. "I will be off now." He stood.

"Me too." Remus rose up and joined Sirius, walking out. "See you all later, maybe." The two made their way through Hogwarts together, not going anywhere in particular.

"I'll do it." Sirius said as soon as they were away from other students. "I'll be happy to… you know."

"A few hours ago, you were not too embarrassed to say the word 'sex' and could make plenty of jokes on it with James." Remus looked over at Sirius, expecting him to explain himself.

"A few hours ago, I wasn't asked to preform it. Talking about it and joking about it is easier than actually considering it. But I'm ready, if you are that is."

"I'm ready."

Sirius grasped Remus' hand, squeezing it. "I fancy you." He said matter-of-factly.

"I hardly noticed." Remus said, bemused. "I just thought you snogged all the boys the same."

"Please, you're might be the only boy for me. You're too good for me, you know. You've always been too good for me." They turned the corner and climbed the stairs to the astronomy tower.

"Now that's a lie, if anything you're too good for me. You've always been too good for me, if anything." Remus' tone was self-loathing.

Sirius shook his head; they made it to the top of the tower. "I still don't understand it at all, you know."

"What don't you understand?"

"I don't understand why you can't see just how amazing a person you are." Sirius whispered.

Remus let go of his hand and faced the rebel. "I'm not even a person."

"You're person enough." Sirius grabbed the lycanthrope's face in his hands. "You're human enough."

"You're a flatterer." Remus felt like crying a little. That was the one downfall to Sirius Black; he simply didn't understand that werewolves were monsters.

"You were born from two people, right? That makes you a person." Sirius refused to drop the subject.

"I turn into a raging animal once a month and a nearly killed you once. Remember that?" Remus eyes filled with tears.

"But you didn't."

"But I could have."

"But you didn't."

"But I could have, Sirius!" Remus jerked his head away.

"But you had enough human in you left to make a choice not to kill me." Sirius' eyes were wide with sincerity. "How do you explain that? You're human enough."

"Damn you, Sirius." Remus choked out. "Damn you for saying stuff like that, it makes me love you more, and it makes me have more reason to make sure I never hurt you. It gives me more reason to just avoid you."

"And it gives me all the more reason to keep chasing you." Sirius slid an arm around Remus' waist. "I will forever chase you."

A/N: Snape and Lily have "always." I think Sirius and Remus should have "You're human enough."
