Remus woke up the same way he fell asleep: content and happy. Sirius was naked beside him, as was he. Remus was pretty sure he'd never felt more content in his entire life. Sunlight was flickering in through slit blinds. Remus rolled onto his side to face Sirius, whose eyes were already sleepily opened. "Mornin' sleepyhead," Sirius said, placing a chaste kiss on Remus's lips. Remus hummed happily and kissed him again, this one lasting a few seconds longer than the last.

"I think we should get up and shower before the others wonder if we've clocked out for all of today, too," Remus said. Sirius whined and pulled Remus into his arms. The younger boy almost gave in, but the scent of sweat filled the air and he forced himself to crawl out of Sirius's arms and out of bed. "You know, maybe if you hurry, we could-" Remus didn't even have to finish the question, Sirius was scrambling to get out of bed, kissing him briefly before herding him into the bathroom, a large grin on both faces.

Thirty minutes and some distractions later, Sirius and Remus were seated in the others' hotel room, discussing their plans for the day while James kept winking at them and giving them knowing looks. After everyone had gone down to breakfast except for James and Sirius, James gave the latter a playful nudge. "You lucky dog!" Sirius tried to fight off a smile, but it didn't work very well so he flipped James off to make up for it. "How was it?"

"You're asking me, your best mate, to tell you how having sex with my boyfriend, my gay, werewolf boyfriend who happens to be your friend too, was?" Sirius raised his eyebrows and gazed at James curiously, but the messy-haired boy didn't seem to mind or show any shame. "It was intense," Sirius told him. "It was the best I've had, both with him and otherwise. Merlin, James, I love him to the moon and back."

"I'm so glad you two have each other again," James mused. "Maybe if you try out some of that makeup you bought you can get some tonight, too." Sirius snorted and took off his shirt, his back facing James while he rifled through his close in search of something a bit better than a stained, blue t-shirt. "Sirius?"

"Yeah?"

"Why do you have a surgical incision on your back?" Sirius stilled. Hadn't he told them? He certainly hadn't forgotten about it, he spent nights wondering where his organ was or if it was safe, if it was being used to potentially save a life or if some fucking cannibal had gotten their hands on it. He instinctively put a hand over the scar, then threw his shirt on and turned to face a worried looking James.

"They're into organ trafficking, remember?" Sirius whispered his reply.

"Siri- what the fuck!" James spluttered. "Do you have any idea how dangerous it is?"

"Well, yeah. I mean, it never hurt or anything, it just felt like a missing pit in my lower back. If something happens I'll do something, but for now..."

"No! We need to get you to a hospital and see how your body is fairing with a missing organ and then figure out if changing into Padfoot changes anything, and-"

"James," Sirius said. 

"What if it kills you, what if-"

"James." 

"What if you can't be with Moony on full moons anym-"

"James!" Finally, he shut up. Sirius sighed and rested his head in his hands before looking back up at James. "I've changed into Padfoot since it's been gone, and I was fine. You don't think about missing organs when you're tossing into a cage containing a slavering werewolf. At least, I didn't," Sirius explain gently.

"Does he know?"

"Who?"

"Remus." Sirius sighed and took a seat on one of the beds.
