A/N: Thank you, guys! So, it's just an epilogue left, hope you like it, and if you read (the whole story), hope you'll give me comments on what worked and what didn't! I'll keep going with different stories, probably still about Remus and Sirius, I just can't seem to get rid of those two ;)

Epilogue: The Ending, The Beginning
I saw Sarah Jones next morning. She was coming from breakfast and I was going there, Remus walking right next to me. I tried to avoid her eyes because, well, I had kind of stolen her boyfriend, after all. I think she knew it, too. As we passed her as quickly as we could, she called after me, 'Hi, Sirius!'
I turned around reluctantly to face her. She looked at me with a sharp expression in her eyes, but she didn't look like she was going to try to hex me, either.
'What?' I asked. I sounded a bit embarrassed, which was probably quite right for the situation.
'Good luck with it,' Sarah said and actually smiled.
Then she turned around and walked away. I turned to look Remus, who was blushed.

Next morning, which luckily happened to be Saturday, Remus bribed Peter to sleep on the couch in the common room, 'just for fun', and I hinted at James that it would be a really great day to have a sleepy lovely morning with Lily Evans, his beautiful bride-to-be. Of course, the word 'bride' made James go all fuzzy and agree on everything, including letting us be alone.
I kind of think that they already knew.
And so in the Saturday morning we were lying on my bed next to the each other, or in fact Remus was kind lying on me. It was raining, again, the crappiest weather you could think of, and I just felt so good. And weird. And confused. And everything at once, but it was kind of okay, finally.
'Do we need… rules?' Remus said suddenly, his voice a bit hoarse, his nose against my neck and his hand lying on my thigh.
'Like what?'
'Like…' he paused to think, 'like if you ever shag with Susie Thomas in the greenhouse again, I'll hex you with something I found in the library and you'll never know what it was because you suck at reading?'
'Moony,' I said lazily, 'I'm not going to shag with Susie Thomas. Don't worry.'
'So, this is it, then? Like, no other girls? And… no other guys?'
'Yeah, I suppose it is.'
'Yeah,' he said, sounding happy. 'It's weird, though.'
'Yeah.'
'But we can take it.'
'Yeah, we can.'
'Don't you want to talk about it? You aren't really saying anything.'
I grabbed his ass. He glared at me, almost offended, and then I closed my eyes and just kissed him silent.
It was an odd thing to do, kiss Remus Lupin in my own bed, when he was quite naked and I was, too, and every bizarre piece of the puzzle was finally just in the right place.
'This is the weirdest and the best thing in the world,' I said when we were trying to catch our breath again, 'so shut up.'
He did.
