Remus Lupin pushed
his greying, sandy brown hair out of his eyes. Sighing, he looked
down at the letter to Harry that he had been working on. Shoving it
to the side, he stood and moved to the kitchen doorway. He had been
living in Grimmauld Place with Sirius Black for the last couple of
months. He preferred it here. Here he had company. Here he had
Sirius. Biting his lip he looked at the staircase then walked towards
it. The first stair creaked as he placed his foot on it. Looking up,
Remus shook his head then turned away from the staircase. Sirius was
asleep, Remus would wake him later.
Sirius Black lay in
his old room, his hands behind his head. As he stared at the ceiling
he felt a rush of anger. How the hell did I get back here? he
asked himself. The anger died as suddenly as it had flared up. He
couldn't exactly go anywhere else. The entire wizard community was
still looking for him. The house was silent. Too silent, wasn't Remus
down stairs? His old friend had moved in with him and this was the
happiest he had been since he was thrown in to Azkaban. He jumped at
the sound of the stairs creaking, Sirius hoped it was Remus.
Listening carefully, there was no sound of someone climbing the
stairs. With a feeling of disappointment Sirius lay back down on the
bed and closed his eyes.
Hours later, Sirius slowly opened
his eyes. There was someone standing in his bedroom doorway. He took
a deep breath in as he realised it was Remus. With a smile he sat up
and looked at his friend. Remus smiled in returned, entered the room
and sat on the edge of the bed. He opened his mouth to say something
but did not make a sound. Sirius moved slightly closer, his heart
pounding in his chest. A strange feeling was overpowering him. His
body moved while his mind trailed behind. Sirius inched even closer
to Remus until there was less than an inch between them. He had never
felt this rush of excitement that he now had, the closer he was to
Remus. He stretched out a hand and carefully pushed Remus' hair out
of his eyes. Sirius paused as Remus closed his eyes. With another
smile Sirius leaned in.
Remus had never felt this nervous.
Sirius was extremely close to him, he could count every eyelash.
Swallowing, he froze as Sirius reached out to push the hair out of
his eyes. Sirius' touch was electric. Closing his eyes Remus
memorised the feeling. He had never felt a spark like that before
with anyone. Then came a rush of shame. It pounded down on him, it
was so hard to breathe. With a gasp Remus jumped to his feet and
backed away from Sirius. I leant towards him! I wanted him to kiss
me. What am I doing? This isn't me. I don't have feelings for Sirius.
He's my best friend! Turning away from his best friend he bolted
from the room and down the stairs. Staggering in to the kitchen he
fell against the sink. What was wrong with him? He knew he had hurt
Sirius' feelings by fleeing, but he hadn't been able to help it. It
felt so right being that close to him, and that had scared him. It
really scared him. He hadn't even meant to go to Sirius' room. He had
stepped on that first stair three times before his body climbed the
staircase while his mind screamed at him to stop. He had stood in the
bedroom trying to work out how he was supposed to tell Sirius how he
felt, but no words had come to him. Then Sirius had woken up and all
thoughts had left him. With a groan he stared out of the kitchen
window. How had he gone from a confident man, back to an awkward
teenager?
"Remus?"
Hearing his name Remus
turned. Sirius stood in the kitchen staring at him.
"I'm
sorry," Remus said quietly. With a small smile Sirius walked
towards him.
"It's okay Remus, don't worry about
it."
"No, it's not okay! I shouldn't have ran. I
was just..." Remus looked at the floor in shame. It was obvious
that he had hurt Sirius. Looking up he walked purposely towards
Sirius. Reaching him, he hesitated, then pulled Sirius' head towards
his. Their lips met. The kiss was slow at first, Remus moved his lips
against Sirius'. He froze for a second when he felt Sirius' tongue
against his mouth. He parted his lips and moved even closer. He lost
himself in the kiss, in the way Sirius' lips moved with his, the way
his hands managed to wind themselves in to Sirius' hair.
"Sirius,
are you in here?" a voice called out. They separated.
Remus'
heart was pounding in his chest, he was panting slightly. The door
swung open and Mrs Weasley bustled in. "There you are, just
letting you know that Dumbledore wants the Order to meet tonight."
Remus tried to gather his thoughts. Sirius hadn't answered
Mrs Weasley, so Remus answered for him. "Right, yes. Um - are
you staying Molly?"
"No, no, I must dash. I'll see
you two tonight." Molly replied, with a nod to Sirius she left
the kitchen.
Sirius sat on the bed confused. What had
just happened? Remus had run. Run from him. He sat there slightly
embarrassed. Did I get it wrong? He thought back to the way
Remus acted around him and the secret longing looks.No, he feels
the same way I do. With that thought Sirius threw back the covers
and quickly hurried down stairs. Opening the kitchen door, he
hesitated seeing Remus with his back to him, looking out the window.
"Remus?" he said quietly. Remus turned to look at
him and Sirius stared in to his chocolate brown eyes. "I'm
sorry" Remus mumbled. Sirius smiled. How could he ever be mad
at him?
"It's okay Remus, don't worry about it,"
he said, while secretly wishing he could have been a little braver
and taken the chance to kiss him while they were upstairs.
"No,
it's not okay! I shouldn't have ran. I was just..." Sirius
didn't move as Remus stared at the floor. All he wanted to do was
wrap his arms around him. When Remus looked up he walked towards
Sirius with a look on his face that Sirius had never seen before.
Before he knew what was happening Remus's lips were on his. It was a
soft kiss. Gentle. Feeling a little braver, Sirius slowly coaxed open
Remus's mouth with his tongue. He felt Remus respond and wind his
hands through Sirius' hair.
"Sirius, are you here?"
Molly Weasley's voice broke through Sirius' paradise and he felt
Remus pull away from him.
The door swung open. He barely
listened to what Molly said, he was silently celebrating. He
kissed me. Molly nodded to Sirius before disappearing back
through the kitchen door.
Turning back to Remus, Sirius
smiled. He cleared his throat, "Well," he said, "I
guess we're more than just friends after all." With a grimace
Sirius mentally slapped himself. Was that all he could say?
With
a laugh Remus nodded. "I guess so," he replied.
