Caves
It could be said that Remus sometimes scared himself so much that he'd be willing to run far enough away from his issues to a dark, gloomy cave where he could just curl up as a wolf and forget all of his troubles for a night.
He saw the caves all around the world – the deep ones, the shallow ones, the uncomfortable one. He was definitely a serial cave-lurker, as Sirius had once put it.
This night was one of those such nights. Even before the full moon had appeared, Remus could sense within his blood that it was going to be a difficult one. He could sense his own discomfort, as well as that of the other wolves who were nearby (and there were more than he expected). If he stayed, the lust for blood – despite the potion – might just grow too much.
So he left his sleeping friends and bounded to a dark cave just outside of London. The moon appeared in the cloudless sky – full and as terrifying as ever – and he transformed.
He had just curled up for the night when footsteps (or was it pawsteps?) distracted him. He lifted his large head, his wolfish eyes seeing clearly through the dark to where a black dog had just entered his hiding spot.
If a wolf could sigh, Remus would have, for he knew it really was no dog.
Without a word, Sirius padded over to Remus and curled up by his side. He rested his head against Remus' chest, panting slightly. No words needed to be said for him to know what Sirius was thinking: You really have commitment issues, Remus.
Remus would kill him for following in the morning, but for now he appreciated the company. He had forgotten how nice it was to have a friend on these horrible nights.
