IN THE DORM.

Sirius had laid back on his bed in a huff, still angry about what Peter had said to him. How could that conniving little dolt even think about calling him a puppy? And a stubborn puppy at that?! Who cared how true it could be! He hated being called a puppy. Of all things. It hadn't helped that he had been talking to Remus. They'd been getting along so well. It had all seemed so perfect. Too bad Remus would never like him like that...

"Padfoot, you alright?" Remus asked, walking into the dorm, and sitting on Sirius' bed. Sirius seemed upset, and he just couldn't take it when he was upset. Even if it was over something really stupid.

"Ye--" he'd been about to come back with that sarcastic affirmation of his state of being when he suddenly realized that he shouldn't snap at Remus. It wasn't the Lupin's fault that Peter was a prick. It wasn't the Lupin's fault that he was madly in love with him. "No actually... I'm not..." Sirius mumbled softly, rolling onto his stomach and burying his head in his arms. He wasn't crying, just getting more comfortable.

Remus frowned, and put his arm around the other's back. "You wanna talk about it, Pads?" Honestly, he doubted that Sirius would tell him whats wrong if he didn't even tell James.

"I can't... Not yet..." Sirius mumbled, wishing to put off rejection that much longer. The arm around him felt absolutely amazing, making him want to just tell the other everything. But fear held him back. Fear told him he'd be rejected. He sighed into his arms and mumbled incoherently to himself for a second, wondering how the hell he was suppose to handle this. "Prongs said I should just flat out ask you. Wormy seems to think so too. It's just... I don't know."

"Ask me what?" Remus was starting to get a little curious. What could Sirius tell James and Peter, but not him? It actually hurt slightly. "You know you can tell me anything."

"Agh... It's nothing Remus... Really." Sirius reasoned lightly, almost feeling the slight hurt in those last seven words. He felt bad, really. It wasn't fun to make his friends upset with him. But it just seemed like such a chore to tell him. If he said it aloud it made it real. And if it were real and Remus didn't like it, it made even the simple hug the other was giving him at that moment oh so very awkward.

"You rarely get actually upset, so it can't be nothing." The tawny-haired boy reasoned. He felt as though it would bother him for a while if he didn't know what was wrong with his friend. "Please Sirius. You accepted the wolf, I'll accept anything."

"Psh. Being a wolf is nothing!" Sirius teased lightly, twisting around so he could sit up. Something was formulating in his mind. The one way he felt he could admit his feelings for Remus. One of his hands went to his bedside table, grabbing a spare bit of parchment and a quill. "I could... You know, write it. If you promise not to hate me." he said softly, giving Remus a seriously punned look.

"I would never hate you, and that sounds good." Remus nodded. I guess note passing can be good for something, after all.

I love you, Remus.

After finishing the note, Sirius felt a blush creep up his cheeks and he quickly passed it over before closing his eyes and turning his face away as he prepared himself for a rejection. It was the least he could hope for, after all. Remus didn't love him back, that was for sure. And even knowing this, rejection was still sure to hurt.

Remus grabbed the note, expecting something horrible, but then he saw it. A love confession. He let out a gasp of surprise, and stared at the back of his friend's head as he turned. He had always wanted to hear this, or even read it.

"Sirius..." He got up and sat on the other side of Sirius so he could face him. "I love you too..." He moved over and pressed his lips to Sirius'.

Sirius' eyes widened as he suddenly heard the words he'd been wanting to hear for a long time now left Remus' lips. And suddenly those lips were upon his own and he could only grin into the kiss, finally content with everything that had been happening lately.

"Don't be afraid to tell me anything, okay?" Remus said as he pulled away for a second. Without waiting for reply, he laid down on the bed, pulling Sirius on top of him, pressing their lips together once more.

The moral of this story?

RemusxSirius is the most adorable pairing ever to show itself on the earth.
