Chapter 17

Remus

I shouldn't have been so worried...but I couldn't help it. Sirius had stayed round plenty of times before during the holidays, granted we weren't dating at the time. As soon as dad stopped the car, and we were all inside – before mum and dad could load off God knows how many questions off onto him – I dragged Sirius upstairs. We set our bags down by the far wall of my room, before I turned and closed the door to my bedroom, and then resting my forehead against the wall. I let out a long sigh.

"You really need to stop worrying." Sirius said gently from behind me.

I turned, and sat down with my back to the door, my eyes closed the whole time.

"I mean it. You don't need to worry." Sirius said.

"I can't help it. It's what people like me do." I replied quietly.

"People like you? What do you mean, people like you?"

"You know..."

"Werewolves?"

"No."

"Then what do you mean?"

I heard Sirius move, and soon he was sitting beside me, hand on my knee. I stayed quiet, keeping my eyes closed.

"You can tell me." Sirius whispered. "Come on."

I sighed, knowing I was fitting a battle I would obviously lose.

"People like me, as in: geeky, self-conscious, stuttering, book worms that do the work set at school, hand homework in on time, read for fun, and study... People like me always worry, because we have everything to lose once we find something worth hanging on to. Because we know what the worlds like, and we know how much life can suck." I rushed, blushing.

Sirius' hand left my knee, but only a moment later was his arm around my shoulders pulling my closer, and entwined the fingers of his left hand with mine – same hand. He kissed the top of my head gently. He then rested his forehead against the top of my head.

"Remus, I love the geeky, self-conscious, stuttering book worm that is you." Sirius whispered. "Always have, always will. And I can tell you know that you will never lose me. Ever!"

"I love you too." I smiled.

All in all, my parents were well behaved at dinner. And so was Sirius. It was very strange. Conversations stayed with Quidditch and music...two topics both Sirius and I enjoyed. Of course, Sirius enjoyed Quidditch more than I did.

"So when's the next game at school?" dad asked.

"Two weeks after we go back to school. Against Slytherin." Sirius replied.

"Easy win. They always cheat, but they always lose."

"Damn right we will. The Slytherin's rarely ever practice, and it shows when they play...they're the easiest to beat."

I tuned out after a while. I never really liked conversation turning to the Slytherin's...especially with what happened in first year. But I never liked to think about that. A part from talking about the Slytherin's, everything was fine, nothing to worry about.

After dinner, I hopped upstairs to take a shower. At least the water released some of the tension in my shoulders. I had gone upstairs alone, but when I walked back into my room – pyjama bottoms on, towel around my neck – I had company...shirtless company.

"Have I ever told how much I hate when I'm asked questions about myself repeatedly?" Sirius asked, sitting on my bed, leaning against the headboard.

I gave him a small sheepish smile as I walked over to him.

"Sorry." I said. "They do tend to go overboard."

Sirius chuckled slightly, pulling me onto my bed and in-between his legs, my bare back to his bare chest. His hands moved from my hips, up my back and to my shoulders. Sirius removed the towel, throwing it on the floor, and then replacing both hands on my shoulders. He kneaded my shoulders a little. I sighed, leaning back.

"God you're tense." Sirius laughed.

"I know." I sighed. "It's not fun."

"Well, I'll take care of that."

I smiled, letting my head fall forward slightly, closing my eyes. Sirius laughed, and kissed the back of my neck. I wonder if this could become a regular thing.
