i want you to stay away

sirius looked at the handsome guy in front of him and wondered if he was really telling him what he thought he was.
"huh?" sirius frowned. "what did he mean?"
"he said we should be together. he said you had been there all night and that when two
people are meant for each other nothing should stop them." remus explained

"but what about-" sirius began.
"then he advised me that if i really wanted to make sure you would be safe each time i transform, you of all people would understand that i want you to stay away from me once the full moon appears each month."

sirius fell silent. he was really telling him what he thought he was.
"would you?" remus asked after a moment.
"remus- remus of course i would!" sirius smiled and stood up instantly. he dropped his teacup as he took remus in his arms and kissed him deeply.

the cup crashed behind them, making a horrible loud noise but neither of them cared, being so caught up in their own bubble. remus smiled into the kiss and responded to it and in this moment both of them felt like if they were the only two people on this earth.

after they had shared that kiss they just stood like that, holding the other one close.
"i'm sorry i made us stay apart for so long." remus mumbled after awhile.
"don't be." sirius replied instantly. "we need to not think like that. can't we just make up for lost time instead of being down about it now when it's over? because i've cried enough."

remus nodded quickly and the two of them shared another kiss. but suddenly they had been interrupted by a small house elf that had just entered the kitchen.
"s.. s- sorry-" the elf stuttered.
"oh my god no, we're sorry! did we wake you up?" remus burst out and hurried over to the little creature.

"p- pim w- wo- woke up-p f- from a- a l- loud s- sound." the elf went on.
"oh merlin, we're really sorry. we didn't mean to make any noice. we accidentally broke a cup of tea." remus explained. sirius too went up to the elf now.
"p- pim was scared t- there w- was a b- break in d- down here- e."

"i assure you pim that it's fine. we did not mean to scare you like this." sirius smiled.
"would you like to sit down? there is more tea if you want some." remus offered the elf.
"n- no, p- pim will c- clean up- p the m- mess and g- go u- upstairs." pim continued.
"we'll clean it up ourselves. you don't need to do anything." sirius told her.

and after awhile pim agreed to a cup of tea and remus cleaned up the broken cup and the tea on the floor with magic. they learned that pim was one of the castle's youngest elves. which made sense, considering how small she was. and afterwards she thanked the boys a million times each.

"thank you, thank you, thank you sir. lupin and sir. black. i am so glad for your incredible kindness." was one of the last things she said before going back to bed. after she had gone the boys looked at one another once again.
"she's a lot different from kreacher." sirius stated. "a lot."

"yeah... she was quite cute." remus smiled.
"and kreacher is a rat." sirius muttered.
"oh shut up, it's because you treat him badly."
"you sound like my brother."
"uhum, thanks?"
"kreacher adores my brother."
"how are things with reg now? i mean since he left here."

"i- i don't know..." sirius mumbled. "he hasn't reached out in awhile. i wouldn't assume life's a party for him at the moment really."
"yeah..."
"james said reg too always is welcome at his house anytime and i told reg when i was on the phone with him awhile ago but he just hung up on me instead."

"oh."
"yeah so that's the... situation." sirius sighed. remus shook his head.
"i'm sorry."
"don't be, it's not your fault. so don't be. don't be sorry about anything. like i said before. don't be sorry." sirius said.
"but i-" remus began.

"no, you're not." sirius interrupted. he smiled and took his boyfriend's hand in his. "let's go to bed already."
"i love you." remus said and placed a quick kiss in sirius' lips.
"and i love you." sirius responded as they began walking to the gryffindor tower.
