Thanks, for still reading my story :-*
Remus had gone from being anxious about facing Black in the corridor, to absolutely terrified. It was making him tired and stressed to try and avoid Black all the time. He was quite sure that if they met in a deserted corridor, Black would go even further to get what he wanted. And Remus didn't even understand what he wanted. Why bother going after me, when he could have anyone else? And am I not being clear enough that I don't want it?
Remus scowled, frustrated as he made his way towards the library. He was about to meet Lily there; they had an assignment to do for Transfiguration together. It was nothing more than that. But Remus was glad when Lily kept asking him to meet up and they were now spending quite a lot of time together.
He suddenly stopped when he heard the sound of footsteps coming towards him. To be safe, he turned around and hurried to find another way to the library. It sounded like only one person and if that was Black, (or any Slytherin for that matter), there would be grave consequences. He walked a little faster on the new path. It was longer but he didn't want to take any risks.
"Gotcha!" Remus yelped as someone grabbed his arm and yanked him aside, pressing him up against the wall. He blew his overly-long bangs out of his eyes and looked up at the grinning face of Sirius Black.
"I have to say, you're hard to catch. Always slipping away," said Black, and stroked his long fingers down Remus' cheek and neck. "But I've got you now...Remus..."
Remus inhaled sharply, his eyes widening in fear and shock.
"How did you learn my name, Black?" Remus voice trembled slightly, though he tried really hard to keep it steady.
"Did some research...And call me Sirius," he said with a mischievous smile.
If only Remus had just taken the normal path to the library. He wouldn't mind being hexed by a Slytherin - it would be better than this. Black was now pressing his broad chest against his own, and their faces were way too close for Remus' liking.
"I need to go...I'm supposed to be meeting someone..." Remus mumbled, trying to not look at Black, which was hard since he was everywhere in front of him.
"Hope it's not a boyfriend," Black smirked, and Remus knew that he was just joking with him. "They can wait. For now, you're all mine..."
"Erm...I don't..." Remus mumbled and flushed, he wasn't sure what to say now. Black tilted his chin up and forced him to meet his eyes.
"Shhh...just let it happen..." he whispered, before pressing his lips against Remus'.
The kiss didn't come as such a big surprise as the previous one, but Remus still inhaled sharply at the touch of Black's lips. He tried squirming to get away, but he was pressed tightly against the wall. Black moved his lips firmly, yet very softly over Remus'. He felt a warm and wet tongue licking over his lips, parting them gently and moving into his mouth. Remus tried to push Black's chest away but his grip slowly loosened on the shirt he was clenching.
Remus couldn't do anything but let Black kiss him, there was no point in struggling. And even if he was being forced into it, the kiss still made Remus' heart beat faster, making him feel... excited. Without even noticing, Remus' eyes fluttered closed and he relaxed the tensed muscles of his lips. He could practically feel Black's smirk against his lips but he didn't care anymore.
Just as Remus had parted his lips the slightest bit, a yell interrupted from behind.
"Rem-...Black!"
It was Lily. Remus gasped as Black pulled away to turn his head and look at her.
"Evans!" he cried cheerfully. Remus didn't say a thing. He felt awkward standing between Black and the wall, clenching Black's shirt and he felt himself blush.
"Get away from him!" said Lily angrily, and stomped over to them. Remus did what he had been unable to do just a minute ago and pushed Black hard in the chest, away from him.
"Hey!" said Black and turned to him, stumbling backwards. "What's up with you? You were in to it just now."
Remus finally found his voice. "I wasn't!" To his relief, Lily seemed to believe him and she pulled his arm to get away him from Black.
"You leave him alone. Do you understand?" she snapped, and turned around sharply, still with a fast grip on Remus' arm. He didn't dare look back at Black.
Xoxoxoxox
"How did you know where to find me?" asked Remus, when they were sitting by a table in the library.
"I went to look for you since you were fifteen minutes late. And you're never late," she smiled softly, then her look changed to one of concern. "Remus, what happened? Are you alright?"
Remus looked down at the table - this was a very awkward subject for him to talk about and he felt himself blushing before he'd even said a word. "I'm fine. I was just walking through the corridor and I didn't hear him coming, he just showed up and... well, you know..." He blushed even harder and stubbornly looked down. "And then you arrived... and you know the rest..."
"Okay... you have to tell me if you're not okay."
Remus looked up and gave her a small smile, thankful that she didn't ask anything more.
"You know, I didn't know he was gay," said Lily, after a moment of silence.
Remus suspected that Black didn't care much about which gender his lovers were. He just grabbed anything that that walked in front of him. Remus had started to work that out when he'd started to give him those "hungry" looks across the hall, but his suspicions were confirmed when Black had kissed him in Hogsmeade. And as if Lily had read his mind she said, "has he kissed you before?"
"Erm...well, once." Remus mumbled in shame.
"Then why don't you do anything about it?! If you don't want it, you can't let him control you like this," she said seriously. Remus could only look at her while she gave him the pep talk. He had a hard time taking it in and he just gave a small nod. But he fully understood that he needed to do something about it.
"Because you don't want it to continue, do you?"
"Of course not!" Remus exclaimed. What made her think that? Does she know I'm gay? "But..."
"Hmm?"
Remus didn't exactly know what made him tell her. Maybe it was that kind voice she had or those understanding eyes. "I think I'm gay..."
"I think you are too, "said Lily simply. "I had almost figured that out by myself." She looked at him with that small smile of hers, making Remus feel like a very heavy weight had been removed from his shoulders. He had never told anyone about this. Not even his parents, even though he talked to them a lot.
There was a moment of silence before Lily spoke again. "So...is there anyone you like?" she asked and bit her lip playfully.
"Well, no. Not really," smiled Remus. He liked having someone to joke around with. "At least not Siriu- Black!" he corrected himself quickly. Where did that even come from?
"You sure about that? Cos I thought I just heard you call him by his first name," she giggled.
"Shut up!" he grinned, though he couldn't hide his blush. "He's just handsome. But that's all."
"I know what you mean. But he's an arse," she smiled and they continued the subject of Black, then the Slytherins and James Potter.
They ended up talking a lot in the library that evening about everything, except the Transfiguration assignment.
Sorry it took a while, I'm pretty tired of writing this fanfic now.
But at least they're getting closer ^^
