Remus quickly found himself hugging Sirius' jumper curled up in their bed. How he was starting to miss him.

A last mission to hopefully end this war, but it might be the end of Sirius too.

Remus doesn't know if he'll come back alive or in a casket.

His love was meant to be home two days before, but he knows missions can drag on. Remus tries to stay hopeful.

He ends up falling asleep to the smell of Sirius' cologne and his tears staining the jumper. Hopefully he'll be back soon.

Remus wakes a few hours later to keys and a door handle turning. His heart drops as he races downstairs with his wand.

He stands eye to eye with Sirius. But he can't jump into his arms yet.

"What do I say when you wake me up from a nap?"

If Sirius answers correctly Remus will know it's actually him.

With a slight laugh Sirius wipes a tear. "You curse me off in Welsh."

Before Sirius had finished Remus was running over scooping Sirius into his arms. They stay in eachothers arms for awhile before Remus pulls away cupping Sirius' face.

"Oh love you're so injured where does it hurt?"

"It's not as bad as it looks." He answers referring to the blood. "It's not mine, I'm just sore all over."

Remus nods as he looks over Sirius like a very worried mother.

"Bath then sleep?" Remus asks.

"Bath then sleep."

The next morning they were lay in bed next to eachother, grateful to be in eachothers arms.

"I thought you were dead." Remus says, only sadness in his voice.

Sirius kisses his forehead. "Me too. Sorry for putting you through that."

Remus lets his tears fall as the mattess soaks them up looking into Sirius' sad eyes.

"Don't leave me again."

Sirius leans closer stroking Remus' cheek. "I won't put either if us through that again, no need to worry love."

They share a short kiss before cuddling closer and falling asleep again.
