Week 3 of the Ship Til You Drop Competition - Remus/Sirius

Sirius sat on his bed beside Remus, pulling his covers up to his lover's chin. He lightly brushed the sandy hair out of his face and pressed a soft kiss on the edge of his lip. It pained him to watch Remus miserable after a night of transforming even with the help of the Potion Snape had innovated. The large black dog kept the werewolf company throughout the depths of the night, comforting him with his mere presence. Still, it hurt to watch Remus aching afterwards as he ushered him to bed and treat his wounds. He wanted to kiss his sorrows of being a werewolf away. He didn't want Remus hurting any more, because it killed him to watch his pain.

Sirius sighed deeply, standing up from the bed and gave Remus one last, fleeting look. He headed towards the kitchen to make him some breakfast- rich, hot chocolate and strawberry pancakes, Remus' favorite. Cooking for Remus gave him a surge of relief, thinking that he was still alive and breathing for him to cook for. He stirred the liquid chocolate on the pot and let it simmer for a few minutes, preparing the batter for the pancake. He chopped strawberries and added them to the creamy batter. He then poured the hot cocoa to two separate mugs, removing the pot from the stove and replacing it with a pan. He then poured the batter over the buttered, heated surface, waiting for the edges to turn slightly brown. He was about to flip the pancake when he felt strong and warm arms engulf him into a loving back hug.

"Moony." he breathed out, chuckling. "You shouldn't be up this early."

"Mmm. I smelled strawberries and chocolate." Remus purred and buried his face on the crook of the raven-haired teen's neck.

"Of course. Are you hungry?" he asked, finally flipping the pancake. The aroma of the sweet strawberries filled the room. "Or you could eat these for later if you're still tired. I'll put on a heating charm to keep it warm for you."

"Come back to bed with me?" Remus gave him a weak smile, his eyes half open.

"Alright, love." he chuckled and turned the stove off. Soon, he was pulled back to bed by the werewolf, engulfed in a tight embrace.
