Remus pulled hard against the chains that held him back, pressing into his flesh and allowing warm pools of blood to puddle onto his pale skin. He screamed as he pressed his claws into the palms of his hands, tears hot as they fell around his cheeks. Remus struggled to break free, eyes catching the glaringly bright full moon outside of the window. His gaze dipped down to the man on the ground with his legs pulled close to his chest, who had his stare fixed on the beast that was his friend.

Sirius tucked his earbuds into his ears, and turned up the playlist until it almost, almost, drowned out the screams of agony. His eyes burned with lack of sleep, and his back soon became uncomfortable to rest against the cold brick walls. He was restless, he hated seeing Remus in pain. It was hours before Remus slumped onto the floor, covered in blood as he softly wept.

Sirius pulled out his earbuds, and picked up the blanket he'd had next to him. He swiftly stood and made his way across to his friend. He cautiously placed a warm hand onto Remus' bare back.

Remus flinched, and looked up with wide eyes.

"Moony, it's me. Sirius," he assured him, kneeling onto the ground. His hand moved from Remus' back to his jaw. Remus seemed to understand, because he nestled his face against Sirius' hand for comfort. Sirius swallowed thickly and draped the blanket across Remus' shoulders, unshackling him from the chains and helping him stand. With much effort, they made it to the living room. While trying to maneuver Remus onto the couch, Sirius managed to fall onto his back, and decided then to just gently pull Remus to rest on top of him.

The room was quiet. Sirius saw the light of the sun coming up through the windows. He took Remus' blood caked hands into his own, muttering his usual spell to lessen the pain. Remus sighed shakily, dragging in a sharp breath afterwards. He squeezed Sirius' hands softly. "Thank you," he whispered. Sirius pressed a kiss into Remus' blond hair. "Always."
