Hii, be prepared for a bit of wolfstar in this chapter ;-)

Thanks for the reviews. And since KL-918 reminded me, I had to get a move-on with the Jily part!

Remus rushed out of the pub. His hand trembled as he pushed the door open and he walked quickly in an unknown direction. He had no idea where he was going; he just needed to get away. Black had obviously told on him and he couldn't believe why he had, even for a second, trusted him. For it couldn't just have been a coincidence, could it? Why would Black's friend (Remus was quite sure that it had been Macnair) say that just when Remus passed them?

Remus world seemed to fall apart right in front of him. The thing he was most afraid of happening had finally done so. His heart raced and he was sure he would get a panic attack. Taking deep breaths, gasping for air, he turned in to a smaller deserted street to calm down. I will need to get to Dumbledore. He might be able to stop Black from spreading it further-

Remus gasped when someone grabbed his arm and turned him around. At first, he was only able to see a loose-fitting T-shirt on someone's broad chest, covered by a worn-out leather jacket. Remus moved his eyes up and saw Black looking down at him.

"I haven't told them you know," said Black with a small smirk on his face. As if all this was very amusing to him. Remus stared into his shining grey eyes, not sure if he could trust him, which clearly showed on his face as Black added, "I don't know why Macnair said that. It was just a brilliant coincidence. Quite funny actually. Could barely keep myself from laughing."

Remus' surprised face fell and he glared angrily at Black. It was just a joke to him. Of course he didn't understand the importance of this or the serious situation they were in. He jerked his arm away from Black's grip and took a step back.

"What? Why are you so tense?"

"Tense?" Remus burst out. He couldn't take any more of Black's arrogance. "Because you don't understand how serious this is!"

"What is there to understand? My only job is to not tell anyone about it and I haven't. It's not my fault that you're a freaking werewolf," Black shrugged. He hadn't taken Remus' words personally at all and didn't see any offence in them. But what Black had just said hit Remus quite hard. He swallowed his anger and looked down between them.

"You've got no right to yell at me," Black continued. "Actually, you owe me."

He was right of course. But apologising to Black was too much, so he kept looking away from him, a bit ashamed of his outburst.

"You have to relax. You're always like this." said Black.

"What do you mean 'always'?" said Remus when he found his voice again and met Black's eyes. "Every time you see me you trip me or hex me. So how would you know?" he snapped.

"But, come on! It's just for fun," answered Black, as carelessly as always. It might be funny for them, but it certainly wasn't for Remus. He looked up to find that Black's features had suddenly changed. His eyes were narrowed and his face showed a half smile, like a challenging smirk. "You need to calm down, Lupin. Don't be so tense all the time. Let me help you with that..."

Remus took a step back as Black took one closer to him. He had no idea what Black had meant by that but he didn't like the look on his face. They were now so close that Remus could clearly smell the musty scent from Black's leather jacket and also what probably was his cologne. He breathed faster and stared into Black's mysterious eyes that seemed to be filled with...hunger...desire? Before Remus had time to figure it out though, he had Black's lips pressed against his.

He let out a muffled gasp and all he could see was a blurry picture of Black's closed eyes and the long curly hair. After only a few seconds, Remus came to his senses and realised what happened.

"What the fuck are you doing!?" he yelled and pushed Black in the chest hard, staring furiously at him. "You think you're so superior and that you can do whatever you want! You believe that everyone adores you. But I don't! I know how arrogant and heartless you really are. So just leave me alone!"

Remus didn't have time to see Black's reaction before he stormed passed him. His face was red in anger but also in embarrassment. He felt humiliated for being used like that. Even if he "owed" Black, as he had put it, it wasn't in that way. He scowled and cursed under his breath all the way back to the castle. It was upstairs, in his dorm, after harshly throwing down his stuff on the bed that he realised what had just happened. Remus had just got his first kiss.

He tried desperately to deny the fact (and he still does) that his heart had made jumped a little when he'd felt Black's lips on his. Even if it was with the most horrible person in school, it was still his first kiss.

In the days that followed, Remus face would turn the exact same shade as his Gryffindor scarf perfectly every time he saw Black looking over at him. It was happening more frequently too. Most of the times when he went to the library to study, he found that Black was already there, alone or with some friends, or would arrive shortly after him. It made it much harder to focus when he could feel Black's grey eyes upon him. Because of how uncomfortable he felt with it, he preferred to study with Lily and sit with her at mealtimes. She seemed to have the same problems as Remus. But with another Slytherin.

"Urgh. Here they come again," she sighed irritably. "They've never spent any time in here before, so how come they've suddenly moved in here?"

Remus looked up from his Potions book and flushed when Black caught his eyes. "Erm...maybe they've just found out we have a library in school."

Lily laughed quietly. The good thing about the library was that the Slytherins couldn't yell out comments about his looks or clothes whilst they were here. Madam Pince would definatly throw them out. This time it was just Black and Potter who'd come here.

"Potter asked me out this morning,"

"What?!" Remus exclaimed as loudly as he dared. He didn't want Madam Pince or the Slytherins to hear him now.

"Yes. So embarrassing. Out of nowhere, in the Great Hall in front of everyone." sighed Lily and looked at him.

"I know he's annoying and makes comment at you and stuff. But I didn't think he would go so far as to ask you out."

Lily shook her head, "No. And he only does it as a joke. To be funny in front of his stupid friends."

Remus nodded slowly and looked over at Black and Potter, sitting with their heads together at a table across the room. The reason why Black had kissed him couldn't be the same as why Potter had asked Lily out, because there was no one around then. Remus hadn't told Lily about the kiss. He felt too embarrassed about it. And for some reason he felt like it had been his fault.

"Remus?" said Lily and looked at him with a hint of concern.

"Huh?"

"Are you alright. You kind of zoned out for a while,"

"Yeah, fine. Just thinking..." he mumbled and then looked up at her. "So you won't go out with Potter then?" He smiled.

"Well, I didn't really answer. I just walked off-"

"That's right! You didn't even answer me," said a voice to the right. Lily and Remus turned their heads and saw Black and Potter walk up to them. Remus heard Lily let out a irritated sigh and felt very much like doing the same. Potter was grinning down at Lily. He was as tall as Black with the same dark hair, just a bit shorter and messier. And in Remus' opinion, he was not as handsome as Black. "Well?" he pressed on.

"If you think, for even a second, that I would go out with you, you're even more stupid than you look!" snapped Lily while glaring at him. She was much more confident in situations like this. Remus just felt uncomfortable sitting there and was happy to avoid talking. Potter continued to insist on taking her on that date. And even if Lily kept turning him down, hissing angrily at him so the Librarian wouldn't hear, he kept the ridiculous grin on his face.

Remus looked up at Potter, watching his pathetic attempts to seduce Lily. He then moved his gaze to Black next to him and his heart jumped when he found him staring at him with that mysterious smirk of his. Those grey eyes narrowed, shining down at him. They hadn't been this close since the day in Hogsmeade and Remus felt his cheeks heat up at the thought of that day. Black didn't seem to be embarrassed at all, even if he was the one who got shot down, and he winked at Remus when their eyes met. He was obviously as uninterested in Potter's and Lily's argument as Remus was. Remus looked away, his eyes falling on Lily though he didn't really see her.

"Well, I will have you some day. No matter what you say today," said Potter confidently. "Come on, Sirius."

"Bye Lupin," said Black, in what could have been mistaken for a kind tone. But Remus knew better and just watched them leave without answering.

"What was that about? Why keep Black ogling you all the time?" asked Lily, when the Slytherins were out of earshot.

"I don't know," said Remus quietly and he really didn't.

Tell me what you think!
