A/N: Ok, this took a while to get up, I'm sorry. I wrote it super quick, and didn't get a chance to go over it again. And well, it just stretched out longer and longer because it's the end of the semester, yay. Things have calmed down a bit, I had three papers due last week, and I have two due on Monday but, however, will spend most of my weekend on a bus or else marching through Washington D.C. (hurray for protesting the government chipping away at our rights!). Anyway, here's the end of the story. I don't love it, but I wanted to get something out, cause I hate it when people leave things hanging. I may come back and change some things after the semester ends, but I'm pretty swamped and stressed out right now. The next thing I post will probably be Percy and Oliver, cause I love them…(that was pretty random, just thought I'd share.) I hope you enjoy! I'm off to write about the evils of Disney…

Chapter Eight: In which everything ends happily.

            Remus stood in front of the door, looking. That's all, just looking. He didn't knock, he didn't leave, he just looked.

            "This is ridiculous." He finally said to himself. "It's Sirius, he's not scary. And it's not as if you have anything bad to tell him." He took a deep breath, straightened his back, and knocked on the door. He heard shuffling around inside the room, and then the door opened, revealing Sirius. His hair was pulled back into a small ponytail at the base of his neck, and small pieces were falling out of the elastic holding it. He was just wearing jeans and a t-shirt, his feet bare. Nothing spectacular. He looked like he did nearly every time Remus saw him.

He was beautiful.

            "Uh…" Remus started, "We need to talk."

            "That we do." Sirius said, "Come in." Remus walked into the room and Sirius closed the door behind him. Remus turned around and looked at the other man. He was amazed that he known Sirius all these years, and they'd never done anything even remotely sexual until last night. How had he stood it? How could he have not noticed these feelings raging through him now? He shook his head, bringing himself back to the present.

            "Sirius, this morning... I freaked out. I'm sorry. I had never consciously thought about the possibility of a relationship with any of you, I've never had many friends and I didn't wanted to jeopardize the ones I had. Then after last night, it was startling, you understand I had a lot to think about…" Sirius simply looked at him, curious about where this was going, it didn't sound like the rejection he had expected. "I was still confused when I went down to breakfast, I think that's why I decided to pretend nothing had happened. It was talking to Lily that really straightened me out." He chuckled lightly at his choice of words, "She, of course, wanted to hear all the 'nasty sordid details', I believe were her exact words." Sirius nodded.

            "Of course she did." Remus smiled, continuing.

            "So I was telling her what happened. Not details, just in general. And I started remembering more than I had before. I remembered that I was the one who started things. And that you wanted to wait. And I remembered what I said that convinced you. I thought about that, what I had said, and how serious I had been at the time, and how much I meant it…mean it." He looked up at Sirius then, looking for a reaction. Sirius was astounded.

            "Are you saying…? You mean you…?"

            "Love you?" Remus asked. Sirius nodded, speechless. Remus smiled at him, "Yes. I love you, Sirius. More than anything else, I don't know why I never realized it before, but I do. I love you."

            "Oh, Remy…" Sirius breathed, stepping closer to him. "I love you too. I always have. Ever since that first day on the Hogwarts Express, when James and I offered to share our chocolate. Your eyes lit up, you were the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. You still are." He took another step closer to Remus. "I love you, Remus." They were almost touching now, they were so close. Remus tentatively reached out a hand and brushed his fingers over Sirius'. Sirius, in turn, lifted his hand to cup Remus cheek, leaned in and pressed his lips to the other man's.

            It was not a long kiss, or a passionate one. All told, it was over rather quickly, and they simply wrapped the arms around each other, and held one another, content in the knowledge that they had found each other at last. Sirius pulled away and smiled at Remus.

            "Should we go down and tell Lily and James?" he asked.

            "Probably," Remus smiled back, "but you know, I was thinking…we missed out on a lot of sex during those years I was being a dumbass…we should probably get home as soon as we can and start making up for it…"

            "You know, I think you right. We've waited this long, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to delay it the extra time it would take to talk to those two."

            Remus grinned at him. "Get the rest of your crap together, I'll run to my room and get my shit, I'll meet you in the lobby in five minutes."

            "Deal." Sirius smiled, kissed him quickly, and Remus ran out the door. Sirius couldn't help but grin, this looked like it would be a very fun afternoon, and evening, and possibly night, and maybe, if he was lucky, morning.

Finis.
