"I DON'T EVEN WANT TO LOOK AT YOU RIGHT NOW!" Remus shouted, and Sirius felt tears brimming in his eyes. "Re, please." Sirius reached out, but Remus jerked backwards, lips clamped together. "Get away from me." He said coldly. Sirius didn't move, his heart going at a million miles an hour. "I said, get-" All Sirius saw was the hand flying towards him, and he didn't even think. He flinched, stumbling over his own feet and ending up on the floor, hugging his knees to his chest.
"away..." Remus' words died in his throat as Sirius felt his eyes on him. "Pads... Pads, I wouldn't... I didn't... Why...?" Remus' words failed him, and Sirius didn't dare look at him. "Sirius," Remus said more firmly, "you know I would never, don't you? You know I would never, ever hurt you." Sirius felt Remus' body heat grow closer as his lover crouched over him, tentively resting a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, Re," Sirius said thickly, nuzzling into Remus' touch. "I didn't mean it, I really didn't." Remus shushed him, and Sirius let himself fall into Remus' arms. "I'm sorry Pads, I really am." Sirius pushed his face into Remus' shoulder, hugging the boy tightly. "I love you." Remus whispered, pushing one hand through Sirius' curls. "Love you too."
