Chapter 8
Remus knew that he should feel ecstatic this morning; he’d sucked Sirius off last night after revealed he had fancied him. But something just wasn’t sitting well with the werewolf and he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
After laying awake for most of the night, his mood swinging violently from elation to depression over the night’s events, he had decided to tell Sirius that it was a mistake and that he thought that they should remain friends only. The way Padfoot had behaved after their encounter hurt him.
He understood that Black would also be experiencing similar doubts and regrets about what occurred but that didn’t give him the right to use Remus and then toss him away like a dirty handkerchief. He would sort this sorry mess out with Sirius and then confess his transgression to Mike.
Mike.
Poor Mike.
He didn’t deserve a cheating boyfriend.
He probably would end up with no one by the end of it all but it was a small price to pay compared sacrificing his dignity.
He was unable to approach Black after coming back from his early morning patrols, as the other two Marauders were milling about the dormitory getting ready for classes. It was only after Prongs and Wormtail left for breakfast that Remus was able to catch Sirius before he too left.
The air between the two friends was strained to say the least. Mustering all his courage, Remus took the bull by the horns.
“Sirius, I think we should talk about last night.”
“What’s to talk about?”
“I think we both made a huge mistake but doing what we...umm did.”
“Oh.”
“It’s just that....I mean. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy it or anything but I don’t think it should be allowed to spoil our friendship. That’s all.”
Sirius was unable to face him.
“I think you feel the same, don’t you?”
“As a matter of fact I don’t.” He said defiantly, shoving Remus hard against the door and kissing him passionately, as he had done the night before.
When he broke the kiss, Sirius stared intensely at Lupin.
“Well?”
“Well what Padfoot?”
“Do you still want to forget about it? Because that’s not the impression you gave me when you stuck your tongue down my throat just a minute ago.”
“But..but...I thought, by the way you behaved that you thought you’d made a mistake.”
“This is me Remus, I’m not renowned for my love of pillow talk?”
He was still not convinced.
“Look, I have a boyfriend, on whom I cheated on last night. I…I just don’t think this is a good idea.”
Sirius growled menacingly.
“He’ll have to go! I don’t share my toys Remus. Tell him, today. And one more thing; I don’t want anyone knowing about us. It’s private; between you and me only. Understand.”
“Err no to be honest Sirius. Are you saying you want to pursue this further? You want to go...go out with me?” Remus asked, unsure if his comprehension wasn’t totally askew.
“What I want is a repeat performance of your skills last night and a whole lot more if that was any to go by lover.” He said salaciously.
“Bbut…but.” Remus stammered out.
“Look no time to talk now. Just finish it with the Ravenclaw and I’ll find somewhere for us to hook up later, undisturbed.” Sirius kissed him once more and then went to breakfast.
8=8=8=8=8=8=8=8=8=8=8=8
Remus was still trying to work out what exactly he was going to do at lunchtime. He made his way over to the library to think things through, when two hands slid over his eyes.
“Guess who babe?”
“Mike.” He thought dejectedly. He was not looking forward to this.
“Oh oh. That doesn’t sound good. Is everything okay?”
Remus looked around furtively, checking that they were alone in the corridor.
“I need to talk to you. It’s about us.”
Looking around once more and finding what was required, he guided his boyfriend into an empty classroom and closed the door; warding it shut.
“I’m really sorry but I’ve got something to tell you.”
Remus proceeded to confess everything; his hidden love for Sirius and their subsequent argument. He also told him about their bizarre encounter the previous evening after he admitted his jealousy and how this morning it appeared he wanted to pursue a relationship with Remus.
Michael listened quietly, taking everything in. When Remus was finished, he waited for his boyfriend’s, sorry ex-boyfriend’s reaction to his revelations.
“If that’s what you want Remus, who I am to stand in the path of true love. I care about you babe and the last thing I want is you to stay with me by default.” He patted Lupin’s hand affectionately. “But, I feel I should warn about Black.”
Remus opened his mouth to speak but the Ravenclaw stopped him.
“I know you what you’re thinking and I’m not doing this out of animosity. I care about you Remus and I’m going to say tell you this because of that. Black isn’t like us babe. He’s never shown any inclination towards blokes before and I’m worried that you’re setting yourself for being used by him. You know as well as I do that he is ruthless towards women and I can’t see him being any different to guys.”
“Sirius is a complicated character. He’s had a rough upbringing.” Remus rationalised.
“That still doesn’t excuse his behaviour. All I’m saying is, be careful and don’t take too much stock in what he tells you or you’re going to get hurt. And if you do…” Mike brushed his fingers across his jaw. “…if you do, I’ll always be here if you need someone to talk to; a shoulder to cry on so to speak.”
Remus was choked up by Michael’s magnanimity. He kissed his ex gently on the lips and headed back towards his original destination; the library to think through his options.
