Nothing here belongs to me, well except for the plot but what would that be without the characters, eh?

Unfortunately they don't belong to me but to our queen J. K. Rowling.

Summary:

It is during the nights before the full moon that Remus seeks to be close to his best friend.

He is the only one that can make him feel safe even though they both know that Remus can't escape the darkness within.

This time, something special happens as they stand at the lake, on one particular summer day.

-----

The sun set over the forbidden forest as two figures still stood in the shadows, looking up at the clouds that hung in the sky at the late summer night.

"It's almost full moon." Said the taller of them with a small smile, though it didn't reach his with worry filled eyes.The smaller sighed softly and nodded as he gave his companion a weak smile that made his heart ache.

"Yes.. I know that, Padfoot…" the man whispered and looked up at him.

Sirius stroked a loose strand of his dark hair out of his face.

"We'll be ready to help you soon, Remus." He addressed the male that stood next to him.

"James and me already can transform and Pete will soon too, maybe even this full moon already.

The man carefully held his hand out to Remus, who took it and squeezed it gently, the worry in his eyes lessening though it came back only a second later.

"I don't want to hurt you though…" he mumbled as he looked down, not daring to look his best friend into the eyes.

Sirius though lightly shook his head and gave the werewolf's hand another soft squeeze.

"Don't worry about it, Moony. We can protect ourselves and we will help you, no matter what you say now."

Remus couldn't help but smile at those words, them being so like his friend."Thank you, Sirius…" the small male smiled, a rather fond smile as a tiny spark of happiness returned into his beautiful dark eyes.

"I'm glad that I have you, Padfoot." He said quietly, then added, a dark blush sneaking onto his pale cheeks

"All of you, I mean…"Remus was quite happy about the darkness that surrounded them, knowing that Sirius wouldn't be able to see his reddening cheeks.

The Animagus though couldn't help but smile as he imagined those words being only said for him.

Not that that would ever happen.

He had decided to keep the crush he had on his best friend a secret even though, a year ago, he had realized that it actually was so much more than just a small crush.

Simply holding Remus hand, even if it would never mean anything more than a deep friendship to the other, was enough for him and made him happy.

Sirius looked down on their now intertwined fingers, a fond smile on his lips as his eyes shone warmly, the sun setting in the background, coloring the scenery beautifully.

Remus was watching his best friend with one of his special smiles, the ones only reserved for him, for Sirius, who could turn even the saddest days to ones he held dear.

What Sirius didn't know, was that the werewolf actually did know about the feelings the Animagus harboured for him.

Remus gently looked him in the eyes, before giving into the instinct, coming closer, their bodies almost touching.

Finally, he closed the space between them.

His thin arms wrapped around his friend's warm body, his head buried deep in the taller's chest.

Never had he felt more safe before.

When Remus glanced up again, he could see the faintest dust of red on Sirius' cheeks, causing him to smile softly.

"Don't ever leave me…" Remus mumbled, almost too quietly to be heard.

He felt so helpless as they stood in the warm breeze of the summer evening, the dreaded full moon so close, he could already sense it.

"Never.." was the response he got a second later, Sirius voice gentle as he smiled down on the smaller, carefully cupping his cheek.

Remus immediately leant into the contact, trusting his best friend blindly without any trace of doubt as he whispered those three words that would change everything.

"I love you…"

When Sirius didn't react immediately, the werewolf felt his slight confidence sinking and slipping into panic. Maybe he was wrong and Sirius didn't feel the same after all?

He tried to wind out of the other's grip.

Suddenly, he felt warm fingers on his chin, tilting it up until his hazel eyes met those dark, mysterious orbs that belonged to his best friend, who looked at him with a warm shine in those beautiful eyes.

"S-Sirius..." the werewolf asked in a small, almost shy whisper as he looked at him with a questioning gaze.Sirius' hand then wandered up to Remus' cheek, cupping it as he smiled at him, fondly.

"I love you too…" he whispered those confirming words, as though he feared they would be lost in the wind if he spoke too loudly.

Remus' whole face seemed to light up the minute they left his friend's lips and his own ones escaped a small laugh.

After all that Remus has had to go through, after everything that had happened to him, he still was able to smile like that and Sirius couldn't help but think of it as one of the most beautiful things he had ever seen in his whole life.

He loved Remus' smile.

Sirius smiled back at him as he gently pulled his best friend and now possibly boyfriend even closer, their bodies flushed together.

He couldn't be any happier at that moment and when their lips  finally met, nothing he had lived through had felt better and more right than this.

During the many kisses that followed, the fear of the full moon seemed to slip past those two figures. They were happy.
