[ 860 words ]
------------------------------
It was in the middle of winter, the night after a full moon. Remus lies awake on his hospital bed, cold air brushing his skin every now and then. His bed is the nearest to the open entrance so cold air came often.
The hospital is pretty much empty, there's only one or two people in here and Remus doesn't know them well. The rest of the marauders still haven't visited him yet. He understand that his best friend is busy but he can't help but feel lonely, he just want someone to talk to.
Cold air brushed pass his skin again and this time, Remus's body shivered. After yesterday's full moon, his body is still too weak to handle the cold wind. Remus rolled over, pulling the blanket up and covering his whole body which is still shivering. For the past few minutes, he moves around his bed, trying to get rid of the cold when he heard someone entering the hospital wing.
"Hey Moony." Remus turns around to see who is it, Sirius is standing at the entrance with snow covering a few areas of his coat. He shakes his body as the snow fell and melt on the floor making small puddles. Remus whimpered weakly as a reply and Sirius immediately knew something is wrong.
"Are you okay?" Sirius asked, walking over to Remus who's still shivering under the blanket. Remus nods his head weakly, wrapping his arm around his shivering body.
"You're really not okay, Moony. I'll be right back." Sirius replied, running out of the hospital wing. Remus sighed, blaming himself because he thought Sirius doesn't want to talk to him since he's so quiet. Remus rolled over, trying his best to just forget it and sleep.
A few minutes pass by, Sirius still hasn't come back and Remus is still bright awake. He closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep again when he suddenly feels warm and comfortable. Remus turns his head around and saw Sirius putting his coat over him and he instantly know that it's Sirius's coat.
"Pads, but it's your coat.." Remus muttered weakly as he sat up and takes the coat off. But Sirius takes the coat away from Remus's grip and puts it on him again.
"It's fine, it's really not that cold. I couldn't find your sweater so you can have my coat." Sirius replied, he can't lie, the air is a bit cold that night so Sirius shivered a bit. Remus noticed this and moves a bit so that there's enough spot for Sirius to fit in the bed with him.
"You can lay down and use the blanket, if you want." Remus muttered, his cheeks becoming slightly red. He always had a crush on Sirius, a huge crush on him even and offering his bed to Sirius makes his heart beats faster. And Sirius also had a crush on Remus since they first met.
"Does it fit? I don't want to bother you." Sirius asked, rubbing the back of his neck. Remus can see that Sirius is also getting nervous and his cheek also started to get slightly red. He nodded before softly grabbing Sirius's arm and pulling him so he's now sitting on the bed just inches away from him.
"I guess it's fine for you then." Sirius said jokingly, putting his arm around Remus when he flinched a bit. Sirius noticed this and takes his arm away but was stopped by Remus.
"I like it this way." He whispered, moving closer to Sirius so now both of their body are touching each other.
"Moony, do you like anyone particular?" The question just came out of Sirius's mouth. Remus looks over to him and he slightly nodded.
"How about you..?" Remus muttered nervously, Sirius could feel his cheek turns red and he takes a deep breath.
"You, Remus. I like you, I understand if you don't feel the same. But I just want you to know." Sirius blurted out, looking straight at Remus and making eye contacts with him. Remus stared into his deep grey eyes, speechless about what he just heard.
"Really?" That's the only thing Remus can say at the moment. Sirius nodded confidently, still staring straight into Remus's beautiful eyes.
"I like you too, I've always been." Remus whispered softly and a confident smile appeared on Sirius's face. Sirius then leaned over, touching his lips with Remus's, interlocking their hands as they kissed each other of what felt like forever before letting go. A goofy smile is printed across Remus's face, a smile that Sirius never saw before.
"Are you still cold now?" Sirius asked, chuckling a bit and still with his arm around Remus. Remus shakes his head as a reply before burying his head onto Sirius's chest.
"Not anymore since you're here." He muttered as Sirius wraps his arm around Remus's body.
"I love you Pads." Remus whispered softly as he gets in a comfortable position. Sirius kissed his forehead as Remus smiled as a response.
"I love you too Moony." Sirius whispered back as they fall asleep in each other's arms, making each other warm in the cold winter night.
