Chapter 19

A/N Hey guys! I'm at 70 reviews! That makes me feel like a snow day mixed with strawberry icecream! Unusual metaphor but I hope you get the point! Thanks all for that! Please PM me! I'd love to get to know anyone who follows my work! And please, please check out my new story The Colour Red, it's going to be funny, sad and romantic. It's a Rose/Oc (I know! It's not a Remus/Sirius fic *gasp*) and if you could leave a review on that then I'd have a fan girl fIt.

Remus giggled incoherently, lying on the beach on a stripes red and blue towel which made his slightly sunburned skin look ever creamier in the sun. Sirius smiled and glanced around, their half of the beach was deserted, which was odd, because on a sunny day in the midst of June, the beach was usually crammed with scrambling giddy children and grumpy adults that had been forced into the sun, trailing along teenager that complained but still ended up having the most fun.

"The beach is packed huh?" Sirius sarcastically, reaching his hand down to sweep some of his boyfriends hair from his face, where he'd been blowing it with his mouth, so Remus didn't need to move ,the lazy sod.

"Oh yes!" Remus said fairly innocently, "Quite peculiar ,isn't it?" taking a firm hold of a delicately patterned seashell and examining it rather thoroughly.

Sirius narrowed his eyes at the younger boy, Remus? Purposely try and act innocent? Not good. From his experiences with James, the twins and Remus himself. It was definitely not good. The police were about to come, or something would explode or-

"What did you do?" He questioned, watching as Remus sat up and dusted some of the sand off him.

"Hmm? Me? Absolutely nothing!" Remus protested, unable to keep a smile off his face, a smile which sent Sirius reeling, the way his hair glinted in the sunlight, or the fact that his eyes glowed with a mischief in such a glorious innocent way. He wanted himself just to grab Remus's hand, lay down against the ever shifting sand and just enjoy the closeness of the other boy with the sun hitting their skin. But being marauder taught him one thing.

Never trust the innocent.

"Rem? What did you do?" Sirius probed with a small smile, looking at the giggling boy apprehensively.

"Nothing much?" Remus offered, biting his lower lip and flushing slightly.

"Remus John Lupin, what did you do?"

"Okay, so I might have put up a sign that may have said 'beach closed' but that's all! I swear!" Remus protested wildly, eyes still shining with pure undiluted mischief.

"Remmie! That's illegal! Awesome, but illegal, as in, against the law illegal!" Sirius said, standing up.

"But it's still cool, right? I wanted to spend time with you! Everyone's always bothering us! James has been glued to your side since his and Lily's fight!" Remus pouted adorably and Sirius winced.

James and Lily had had one of their biggest rows yet, Sirius can't even remember what it has started about, something about James wanting to get married but Liky saying 17 was too young. He hated it when they fought. Because James was permanently with him and Remus and they never got a minute to, well, do what two teenage boys wanted to do. And Lily always retreated to Remus, because the two had gotten very close over the year and a half that Sirius and Remus had been dating for. Which meant they had absolutely no time together to do as much as nod hello in town while they were being dragged about by reckless love-starved idiots.

This was the first time in a month they'd had time to sit and just talk, chatting about nothing as they half listened to the waves lulling them into a standstill, as time stopped and all that mattered was the two of them, on the beach, with sand in their sandwiches and the sun hot on their backs.

"I suppose it's...okay. Just don't do it again!" Sirius said, flopping back down onto the blanket and glancing at the younger boy who was peaking at him from under his eyelashes, with his lower lip still caught between his teeth.

"Sirius. Don't be mad." Remus mumbled, still looking at him guiltily.

"I'm not mad you idiot! I'm proud you came up with an idea to get us together!" Sirius exclaimed throwing his arm around the smaller sunburnt boy and pulling him close, silently inhaling his scent of books and chocolate.

"Stop sniffing me." Remus muttered, his voice half muffled because of the way he was pressed into Sirius's chest.

Sirius blushed and let go of Remus almost immediately, "Sorry love." He giggled, grabbing hold of Remus's hand and laying his head on his shoulder.

They were just sitting together, with the waves crashing around them, sandcastles, some half built, some reformed, sitting together in clumps, scattered about the place. The sun was shinning on their faces and Sirius's eyes half drooped closed. It would have been romantic if Remus hadn't of peeped up about 10 minutes later.

"This is nice and all...but with James and Lily around there's been an er, 'activity' we haven't been able to do recently, and the beach is completely vacant, there's no lifeguard, and if you could just-MMmmph! mmmmmm..."

A/N

So,

That ending.

Yeah.

I Guess you can figure it out for yourself what happened next ;)
