Love is just around the corner-Wolfstar

Love is just around the corner-Wolfstar one shot

Sirius POV
This is it Black, I think to myself as I enter the library, on the lookout for my best friend and unbiological brother, time to tell James. The first is always the hardest, right?
James is sitting by himself and taking notes from a book. Ever since Evans said she liked smart guys, he's been studying like mad on the off chance that he'll be able to say something smart to her. He's not noticed me yet so I take a chance to make him jump by taking a book off the shelf, opening it and slamming it shut next to his ear. My laugh echos through the room as he screams and curses at me.
"You bloody git! You almost gave me a fucking heart attack you bastard!"
"Well I am truly sorry my dear Prongsypoo." I chuckle as I wipe away a tear from my eye. "It was the only way I could be sure to get your attention."
"Shut up."
"Shutting up."
"What do you want, anyway?"
My heart begins to beat faster. "Just wanted to ask you something."
"Spit it out then."
I sit next to him and look down at the table that lines the bookshelf. Taking a deep breath, I say, "Prongs."
"Padfoot."
"Prongs."
"Padfoot."
"James."
"Whoa! It must be bad if you're using my real name." He closes the book and looks directly at me. "What's up, Sirius?"
I can feel myself shaking but try to brush off the nerves as I blurt out, "Isitokayforaguytolikeaguy?"
"What?" Prongs looks confused, I can't blame him.
I repeat myself, slower this time. "Is it okay for a guy to like a guy?"
My best friend looks at me for a moment, analysing the situation. After a minute, he says, "Sure. Love's love, right?"
All of my nerves leave my imideatly and I find myself saying all the things I've been keeping in for Merlin knows how long. "Good, because I really like a guy but I know he will never like me back and I just really needed to tell someone and I chose you over my family because they would disown me and I'm surprised they haven't already because I'm actually really good friends with Evans but that's beside the point and I'm so glad you think it's okay for a guy to like a guy but I don't know if I should tell him or not so please help me."
Prongs holds his hands up. "Slow down mate! So, you're gay then?"
"Bisexual. Are you cool with that?"
"Why wouldn't I be? You're practically my brother." He pulls me into a tight hug and when we pull apart he has a stupid grin on his smug little face.
"So, who is it then?"
Oh great. "Ah, I was hoping you wouldn't ask that. You see, the thing is, I don't really-"
"Is it me?"
"Oh dear Merlin, no! As great as you are Prongs you're really not my type."
False hurt flashes upon his face. "I truly am offended." He gasps, a hand on his chest.
"Git."
He laughs. "So, what is your type?"
"Oh, you know, tall, smart, kind, light brown hair the colour of fudge. Possibly even a werewolf?" My voice goes up at the last part, almost as if I'm asking a question.
"YOU LIKE MOONY?!" James yells at the top of his lungs.
"Sshhh you son of a bitch!" I hush him. "For all we know he could be right around the corner."
"Oh, he is." The voice of our dear friend Peter comes from behind me. I whip round to face him, "What do you mean, Wormtail?"
He smiles. "I mean, Remus is sitting two rows from here with his head in his hands, having overheard your conversation with Prongs."
I grow cold and nervous again. If what Wormy says is true, that means Moony heard it all.
"Oh no. Oh no!" I mutter to no one in particular.
"Would now be a bad time to congratulate you on this big decision?" Wormtail asks.
"Shut it." I say before shoving past him and running to where Remus is supposedly sitting. Sure enough, there he is, glancing up at the sound of my footsteps, tears in his eyes.

Remus POV
He runs to me and engulfs me in his strong arms. "Why are you crying?" He whispers to me. "Oh shit, I haven't made you upset have I? Because I would never want-"
"I'm crying because I'm so confused!" I say as he pulls away. "Why me? How could you ever like me?"
"I don't."
My green eyes meet his grey ones. "Sirius, I just Prongs shouting that-"
"I'm in love with you."
Big, gasping sobs erupt from me. "But how? I'm a monster! No one could ever like me in a friendly way, let alone love me in a romantic way. I'm a stupid and worthless monster that deserves to die."
"Hey!" Padfoot's strong, stern voice causes me to jump slightly. "You are so full of worth and you deserve to live just as much as anyone else. You're not a monster, at least not in the sense that you seem to be implying. You're such an amazing and wonderful human being and I have fallen in love with you, Remus John Lupin. I know you won't ever feel the same way but at least now you know just how much I care about you."
I take it all in. His dark and tangled shoulder-length hair, the stubble littering his chin, cheeks and upper lip, his small yet strong frame, his wonderful grey eyes the colour of seafoam, his tie slung over his neck instead of being tied around it, the top three buttons of this shirt are undone, exposing his hairless chest slightly, his robes are nowhere to be seen and his school trousers have bren replaced by black skinny jeans. He is extremely attractive, bit it's too good to be true.
"I don't believe it. You can't possibly love me. I don't deserve your love. I'm worthless."

Sirius POV
Hearing the words come out of his mouth break me.
"I'm worthless."
"You are not worthless."
"Yes I am."
"Remus, stop it."
"But I am."
"I said stop it! Now!"
He meets my eyes with his once again and I see the pain in them, in him. I just want it all to go away.
"What can I do to prove to you that you hold so much worth, Moony?" I ask the beautiful boy.
"I don't know." He whimpers back to me.
"Remus, I'll do anything, just tell me how I can help you."
What he says next makes my heart stop.
"If you really love, kiss me."

Remus POV
The words leave my mouth before I realise I've even thought them.
