"Hey."

Remus turned to look at Sirius, his face streaked with tears and his hair messy from running his fingers through it.

"Moony..."

"Please don't come near me,"
Remus began in a broken voice.
"I don't want to hurt you again."

Sirius' eyes flickered down to the red scar tissue running down his left forearm. He looked back up at Remus to see that he was back to staring out the window of the astronomy tower. Sirius walked over and sat beside him.

"Moony, it wasn't your fault. You aren't a monster, Greyback is. You're the victim."

"But I hurt you Sirius! Don't you get that? Don't you understand?"
Remus' voice broke down to a whisper and he leaned away from Sirius.
"I don't want to do that again."

Sirius frowned and tried to grab Remus' hand but he flinched away.
"Remus, you don't need to be afraid of hurting me. No matter what you do when you're a wolf, I will love you."

Remus sighed.
"I don't understand how you've put up with this for six years. Why did you even care? We were only twelve when I told you and we barely spoke."

Sirius stared at his friend, baffled.
"Rem, we spoke all the time. There was never a time we weren't together. Hell, we slept in the same room! Of course I care about you. I always have."

Remus looked over at Sirius, his whiskey coloured eyes meeting Sirius' grey ones and he smiled sadly.
"Really?"

"Of course Moony, otherwise I wouldn't be here making sure you're okay. And all of the moments I have spent with you wouldn't be a precious as they are if I didn't care. Now come back to the dorm and get some sleep, okay?"

Remus nodded and pawed the sleeves of his jumper, sheilding his hands from the cold. It was only then that he realised that Sirius was only in tracksuit pants and a grey singlet.

"Sirius! It's freezing out here!"

Sirius smirked wickedly and waggled his eyesbrows at his boyfriend.
"I'm a dog, Rem. I've got natural body heat. I'm like a human heater. Want me to warm you up?"

Remus shook his head with a smile but it soon morphed into a frown.
"Shouldn't it be the same with me?"

Sirius shrugged and tilted his head to the left, like a dog.
"Maybe it's because my change is willing and can happen at any time."

Remus nodded and Sirius pulled him into his tight embrace.

"See,"
He whispered into Remus' ear calmly, though Remus' heart was all over the place.
"I'm very warm. Want to sleep with me tonight? James is with Lily and Frank's with Alice, Peter probably with Marlene again, so it's just us. What do ya say?"

Remus kissed the shorter boy on the temple and nodded.
"Okay. Come on, I'm cold and my feet hurt."

Sirius chuckled and led the way with the occasional brush of his hair.

They approached the Fat Lady and whispered the password. She was quite used to all of their late night wanderings and the outing every month, and she was quite tipsy from the red wine in the Monk painting a few frames over, so she gave a dazed smile and opened the door for them.

They walked up the stairs to the dorms in complete silence, only the pitter patter of the rain that had begun to fall could be heard and they walked hand in hand.

Sirius pulled Remus over to his bed and held hin close, heating up Remus' freezing skin and kissing his pale lips. His eyes, the beautiful whiskey liquid that mixed with an inky black, looked tured and were underlined with black circles and highlighted with red lines on the white.

"Remus, how long has it been since you had a proper sleep?"

"That night I slept with you last week."

Sirius' eyes widened and he held Remus closer. The taller boy was still hesitant, afraid of hurting the boy he loved, but soon Sirius' soft words and even softer kising had him melting against Sirius like butter.

"If it takes sleeping next to me for you to sleep, then you're sleeping with me all the time."

Sirius gently kissed Remus one more time and then rested his head on his collarbone, falling asleep to the sound of Remus heartbeat and the steady rise and fall of his chest.

Argh! So much fluff!

Should I do a modern day AU? Yeah, I'm gonna do that.

Okay, the next short will be Sirius at a coffee shop with his best friends Lily and James, and their baby Harry, and he sees a beautiful, whiskey eyed man with a scar down his left cheek.

Oooh....I'm so excited!

Byeeee!
