Life had improved considerably in the last few hours since he had arrived at Remus\' flat, Sirius decided. He had enjoyed a long, tearful hug with his long-lost lover, he had eaten his first wholesome, hot meal in more years than he cared to remember. His tangled hair and beard, and rotted teeth had been fixed with a couple of simple spells, (Remus had also been rather unsubtle about his filthy state and had blasted him with a few charms to get rid of the grime and the stink before he\'d even let him in the living room). He had finally got rid of those Azkaban rags, and now he was sitting in the large, claw-footed tub in the bathroom, chest-deep in hot, frothy water.

There was nothing grand about Remus\' bathroom - the wallpaper was moulding and hanging off the walls, the tiles were chipped, the curtains covering the rickety window above the bath were faded and moth-eaten, but the soft candlelight, and the multicolour bubbles floating in the air, and the sight of Remus sitting down at the other end of the tub made it the most beautiful place in the world.

Sirius pushed his hair back from his face and lay back, resting his elbows along the curved edges of the bath, fingertips in the bubbles on the surface of the water. Remus smiled at him a little awkwardly and took a sip of tea from the mug on the shelf below the window. Sirius had been surprised to see he still had that mug. James had given it to him as a birthday present or something - it had the silhouette of a wolf howling in front of a full moon on it. James\' typical bad humour.

It brought tears to his eyes but he blinked them away. This was a happy moment after all, if a rather tense one. He and Remus had said little all evening, and Remus seemed a bit nervous. Sirius himself had a hundred things to say, a thousand apologies to make, but he had no idea how to say any of it. Better to be quiet for now, perhaps, just enjoy the presence of Remus naked in the same bath for the first time in fourteen years.

He only wished he made for a prettier sight. Azkaban had done nothing for his once-handsome appearance, that was for bloody sure. At least he still had a bit of vanity, more than he\'d thought, he\'d realised when he\'d looked in the mirror. It would take a long time for him to look like his old self again. The marks of the prison were still all over his skin, the feel of the place was still under his skin. He had been in very good shape last time Remus had seen him naked, now he was all skin and bone.

Mind, Remus hadn\'t worn too well himself, he had to think. He was a lot thinner than Sirius remembered. He shouldn\'t have been going grey yet, and those lines on his face shouldn\'t have been there.

There were a lot more scars over Remus\' body than he remembered, too; some old white ones, and many newer pink ones. He\'d also noted a strange scar on Remus\' left buttock that looked suspiciously like a wound from an air rifle, but he hadn\'t wanted to ask. It didn\'t feel right to get that personal. Perhaps it was something they could laugh about when things were more comfortable between them.

What had happened to the cute boyish face he had loved so much? Remus had always been slim, but he looked ill now, even more ill than he had looked when Sirius had seen him at Hogwarts a year ago. The once-pretty cheekbones were now far too sharp and gave his face a sunken look. His pale skin looked ashen and he had dark circles under his eyes. Where was that fiery spark that had once danced in those eyes?

Was it his fault Remus looked this way? Should he have contacted him over the last year? No, it would have been too risky.

You never should have left him in the first place, a voice in his mind told him. You should have made sure he knew, you should have told him you loved him, you never should have doubted him.

But he had tried to tell him, that evening at the Ministry, as they\'d dragged him away to Azkaban. He\'d tried to tell Remus then, but Remus had turned his back on him. Remus hadn\'t believed him.

He couldn\'t feel angry about it now. He had doubted Remus too, they were both guilty of mistrusting each other, and it hardly mattered now. They were back together, and everything would be fine.

Wouldn\'t it?

It hurt. He wanted Remus back so much his heart felt fit to burst. He still loved him just as much as he always had, he\'d felt that last year in the Shrieking Shack when Remus\' eyes had showed him understanding and forgiveness and he had pulled him into his arms. The feeling was still there, just as strong as it had been then, and just as strong as it had been fourteen years ago, twenty years ago. He still found Remus just as beautiful, even though he was concerned about how sickly he looked. Did Remus feel the same way? He wanted to ask, but would it break something if he did?

Remus had showed no sign of wanting to talk about resuming their relationship, but then again, neither had Sirius. Perhaps it was too late. He could understand if Remus wouldn\'t want him back, maybe he\'d found someone else? He couldn\'t bear to think of that. Remus was obviously living alone, but that didn\'t mean anything. He might be seeing someone else. He probably was.

However, Remus had been the one to suggest sharing a bath, and Sirius had been battling for the last ten minutes not to read too much into that. Could be something as simple as Remus wanting to preserve his water bill.

He heard a slosh of water hit the floor as Remus sat up, drawing his knees up and picking the sponge out of the water, squeezing it between his hands. He watched him out of the corner of his eye, but kept staring out into the room. If he looked at him he\'d be done for. He\'d either start crying or do something even more stupid.

He could feel those deep amber eyes staring at him for, pulling his gaze forward again, and once he had contained his emotions, he turned to look back at Remus and a smile crept across his lips. Ah there it was! There was the twinkle in Remus\' eyes that he\'d been looking for! But before he could gaze in adoration, the sponge hit him in the face, heavy and wet.

\"Argh!\" he cried, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand. \"What was that for?!\" Probably to stop him staring off into space. He blinked the water away and looked up at Remus\' grinning face. Oh, that was more like it! He could almost see the schoolboy he\'d first fallen in love with again! \"You\'ll pay for that, Moony.\"

\"Oh, will I?\" Remus began with a soft chuckle. \"And just how do you mean to... UGH!\" He didn\'t duck fast enough as Sirius launched the sponge back at him with a cackle. \"Nice!\" Now it was his turn to rub water from his eyes.

Sirius watched him with a smile. So pale and thin but so damn pretty. Remus didn\'t look so unhealthy now the heat of the water had put a pink tint in his skin. He was smiling when he looked back up at Sirius, and his eyes were shining in the candlelight. His skin was shining too, wet and steaming. Sirius squirmed a little, thankful for the layer of bubbles covering his crotch. Good to know that still worked, anyway!

\"You OK?\" Remus looked at him with innocent concern, either unaware of his predicament or ignoring it.

\"Yeah, I\'m fine,\" he said, smiling up at him. \"You?\"

Remus nodded. \"Better than I have been in a long time,\" he said seriously, smiling back at him beautifully.

Oh, this was a totally inappropriate way to be reacting to such an innocent thing! Pull yourself together, Sirius! he told himself. You\'re a bit old for such behaviour! But however much he admonished himself, that erection was not going away.

\"Look, Remus...\"

\"I was wondering...\" Remus began at the same time. \"Sorry,\" he smiled shyly. \"You first.\"

\"Well... um.\" Sirius sat up a little, freezing as his foot brushed the inside of Remus\' leg. \"Sorry. Er... the thing is.\" He sighed. \"I don\'t know how to say it really... Well... I\'m... I\'m really sorry, for... everything.\"

\"Me too,\" Remus whispered, sitting forward and reaching for Sirius\' hand. \"I never should have doubted you.\"

Sirius took his hand carefully as if the dream would shatter if he touched him too forcefully. He\'d dreamed this too many times, it had to be real this time. \"Oh, I don\'t blame you,\" he said quietly. \"I shouldn\'t have doubted you either.\"

Remus shrugged. \"I don\'t blame you, either,\" he said softly with a trembling voice, his eyes shining with tears. \"I acted like a jealous child over you watching over James and Lily. The truth is... I was so scared of you getting hurt, and... well, yes I was jealous. You were there when Harry was born and I was left behind, and you were made his Godfather and I didn\'t even get invited to the christening, and I felt like you and James didn\'t trust me anymore.\"

\"It\'s my fault,\" Sirius cut him off. \"Really, it is.\"

\"And then I said that stupid thing about if Voldemort did get to the Potters then you and I would be able to spend some time together,\" Remus whispered, blinking hard to rid his eyes of the tears in them. \"I\'m so sorry!\"

\"I shouldn\'t have taken it so seriously.\" Sirius squeezed his hand, feeling his own eyes sting with bitter regret as he remembered the night that he and Remus had quarrelled and he had left the house to meet Peter, and the little rat had convinced him that Remus was working against them. \"If I could get hold of Wormtail now...\"

\"And it was my fault he got away,\" Remus continued, pulling his hand back abruptly. \"If I hadn\'t transformed like that, if only I\'d remembered my potion, we\'d have captured him, and you\'d be free now! It\'s all my fault!\"

\"Remus, it\'s not!\" He sat further forward to look him in the eyes. How could he think such a thing?! \"None of it is your fault, I don\'t blame you for anything, please believe me. They\'ll find Peter, and my name will be cleared, Dumbledore will make sure of that.\" He swallowed hard and his stomach knotted. It wasn\'t that easy, if only it was. But maybe things would start to get better now. The people who mattered knew he was innocent, that should be enough for now. He couldn\'t think about being on the run for the rest of his life.

\"You don\'t really believe that,\" Remus said, staring down at the bubbles. \"I know you, Sirius, I know that tone of voice when you\'re kidding yourself. You\'re scared that Peter will never be found and you\'ll be a guilty man, hiding for the rest of your life. And it\'s all my fault!\"

\"It is nobody\'s fault but Peter\'s!\" Sirius told him firmly. He couldn\'t bear to see Remus get upset for something that wasn\'t his fault. Knowing Remus, he\'d blamed himself enough over the last fourteen years. \"And even if my name is never cleared, I will bloody kill him when I see him again! I will find him!\"

\"NO!\" Remus cried, staring at him aghast. \"You can\'t get sent back to Azkaban!\"

\"I have no intention of going back there,\" Sirius said with a more violent shiver, feeling goosebumps crawl over his skin. He did however have every intention of killing Peter if he could get away with it. \"I\'ve got too much to stay here for.\"

\"Harry, you mean?\" Remus said, sitting back with a sigh.

\"Yes,\" Sirius said, watching Remus as he ran a wet hand through his hair. So beautiful. \"But, not just Harry,\" he said, feeling the knot in his stomach tighten further, but with awkwardness this time. \"I have you back in my life, Remus, and I\'m not going to risk that for anything in the world. I\'d rather be a fugitive forever than lose you again.\" There it was, might as well risk the rest. \"I still love you.\" His breath caught with apprehension and he looked away from Remus quickly. If Remus was going to reject him, he wasn\'t going to watch it.

\"I was wondering,\" Remus said, sitting up again, \"if... if we were still... well, you know. If you still wanted me.\"

\"Of course I do!\" Sirius looked back at him again quickly. That wasn\'t a rejection. It wasn\'t a come-on either, but it certainly didn\'t sound bad. Could Remus still want him after all this time? \"I understand if you don\'t want me, if you\'ve found someone else, but...\"

\"There\'s never been anyone else.\"

\"I mean, I\'m not exactly that sexy anymore, and my mind\'s probably fucked up beyond belief and...\"

\"It doesn\'t matter.\"

\"And God alone knows if I can still perform, I mean, having a Dementor sucking at you isn\'t the best thing for...\"

\"Sirius!\" Remus sat forward quickly and put his hand over Sirius\' mouth. \"Shut up.\"

\"Mhph?\" Sirius stared at him. What did he say?

\"It doesn\'t matter,\" Remus said with a gentle smile. \"None of it matters. I love you, however you look, however you are, I love you. I have never stopped loving you. I loved you even when I thought you were guilty and it nearly drove me mad sometimes.\" A tear rolled down his cheek. \"I\'ve loved you all these years, and when I heard you\'d escaped, I wanted more than anything to see you again, even though I thought I hated you, even though I was afraid of you, I wanted to see you again. I wanted to see you so I could bury these feelings, but when I saw you again all I felt was love, and I was so relieved to find out you were innocent. All this last year I\'ve wanted to see you again, but I didn\'t dare look for you. I still want you. I have never stopped wanting you.\"

Sirius stared at him, and took the hand away from his mouth. \"Oh.\" So, what now? Oh for pity\'s sake! What was wrong with him?! He could understand if he still felt twenty-one years of age, he hadn\'t seen the world since then, but why was he feeling like he was thirteen?! This was more awkward than when he\'d first hit on Remus. Though he\'d been sixteen then. That was beside the point!

\"So are you going to kiss me tonight, or what?\" Remus smiled sweetly at him. \"Because, to be quite frank, if you don\'t, I\'m going to jump on you and do something very ungentlemanly right here in the bath.\" He bit his lip and Sirius thought he blushed a little.

\"Can\'t say I\'d mind too much,\" he said, sounding just a little breathless at the thought of it.

\"Kiss me then,\" Remus whispered, sitting up on his knees and leaning over Sirius, taking his face between his slender, scarred hands.

\"Oh, my Remus!\" Sirius sat up and wrapped his arms around him tightly, burying his face into Remus\' bony shoulder as tears flooded his eyes. Remus was still his! He couldn\'t believe it! \"My Moony. I love you so much!\"

\"Then kiss me!\" Remus took him firmly by the upper arms and pushed him back. \"Please, Sirius, it\'s been too long for us to stop and talk about this. Kiss me.\" He took Sirius\' face between his hands again, more firmly this time, and pressed their lips together.

\"Oh!\" Sirius gasped, as Remus\' warm, wet tongue slipped between his lips and he closed his eyes, wrapping his arms tightly around Remus\' back, pulling him down to lie on top of him. More water sloshed over the side of the bath, but Sirius didn\'t care. All he cared about was having his Remus as close to him as he could physically get. Even if he did have... \"Oww!\"

\"Oww!\" Remus cried at the same time, breaking the kiss.

Sirius chuckled. \"Bony hips.\"

\"Yeah,\" Remus grinned. \"Sorry.\"

\"Me too,\" Sirius grinned back at him. \"We need feeding up. We need to find some lovely old lady to take us in and feed us till we\'re fat. Someone like your gran, remember all the cakes she used to make?\" He knew he was babbling, but he couldn\'t stop himself. Why did he feel so nervous?! \"And those stews... Yeah... we\'re far too thin.\"

\"Mhm,\" Remus nodded slowly, looking at him through half-closed eyes as he leaned in for another kiss. \"Doesn\'t matter, though,\" he murmured against his lips. \"It\'s not like we\'ve never... mmh... bruised each other before.\" He settled carefully on top of Sirius, lying between his legs and closing his eyes as he nibbled playfully at his lower lip.

\"Mnh!\" Sirius whimpered, grinning as well as anyone could with their lip caught between two rows of perfect teeth. \"Mnmhh!\"

\"What?\" Remus laughed softly, licking across where he\'d just lightly bitten. Sirius wondered if Remus was still as scared of biting him too hard as he used to be. Sensible, really, but a damn shame too.

\"I love you,\" he said again, like the phrase was going out of fashion. He felt a bit silly for it, but he had many years to make up for.

\"I love you too,\" Remus said, in that low, husky voice that made every hair on Sirius\' body stand on end, then he started kissing and gently biting across his jaw and down his neck.

\"Oh...\" Sirius moaned softly, arching head neck back as Remus\' teeth found a particularly sensitive spot. \"Oh, my Moony... mine... all mine.\"

\"Mhm, all yours,\" Remus whispered. \"Moony...\" he smiled. \"That sounds funny now. Nice, though.\" He pulled back on his knees and slipped an arm under Sirius\' back to lift him out of the water again to lick at his right nipple. \"My Padfoot.\"

\"Oh bloody hell!\" Sirius gasped, sinking a hand into Remus\' soft hair and arching back against him. Yes, his body was certainly in fully working order. Bit worrying how Remus had lifted him so easily though, Remus looked like he was barely capable of lifting a bag of flour. He cringed a little, he was a walking skeleton, but if Remus minded at all, he wasn\'t showing it. \"Oh blimey,\" he panted as Remus\' wicked tongue slid down his chest and into his navel. \"Remus, should we get out of the bath?\"

\"Nuh-uh,\" Remus shook his head, slipping both hands under Sirius\' backside to lift his hips out of the water.

\"Oh shit,\" Sirius gripped the sides of the bathtub to support his own weight a little and shuddered as he felt Remus\' hot breath against his now-very-hard cock. \"Moony... oh, bloody fucking hell!\"

Remus snickered and looked up at him with beautiful, heavy-lidded eyes, which slowly fluttered shut at he lowered his head and took Sirius in his mouth with a soft moan.

\"OH GOD!\" Sirius cried, arching up into the tight, wet heat before he could stop himself.

\"Ungh!\" Remus pulled back with a cough.

\"Sorry!\" Sirius panted. \"Sorry... Oh bloody hell.\"

\"Stop swearing,\" Remus grinned cheekily at him, squeezing his ass firmly before he lowered his head again and began sucking him gently and slowly, moaning softly around him, the noise passing soft little vibrations into his skin.

Sirius gasped and closed his eyes tightly as the world seemed to spin around him. It had been far too long, but he had never forgotten what that felt like, and apparently neither had Remus. It was all he could do not to buck madly in his mouth, and he was quivering with tension already. \"Remus...\"

\"Mm?\" Remus looked up at him, still sucking and licking wetly and steadily, pulling back to slowly run the tip of his pretty, pink tongue around the head of Sirius\' cock before sucking down on it again.

If there was a more beautiful sight in the world, Sirius couldn\'t think of it right then. He groaned and arched back, hips twitching off their own accord as Remus swallowed around him. \"Moony... s-stop...\"

Remus pulled off him and lowered him back into the water. \"Why?\" He licked his lips, looking rather insecure. \"Wasn\'t it good?\"

\"Was it?!\" Sirius laughed, catching hold of Remus under the arms to pull him over his body again. \"Too good! Come here, you! Oww... bony.\"

\"You can talk!\" Remus said, frowning a little with concern as he ran his hand down Sirius\' rather prominent ribcage.

\"Shh.\" Sirius pulled him down for a kiss to silence him. \"Don\'t worry about me.\" At least they were in water, so they couldn\'t spark a fire if they rubbed their respective bony parts together too hard. Hm, talking about rubbing respective bony parts together...

\"You\'re still gorgeous,\" Remus breathed against his lips.

\"You too,\" Sirius said, wrapping his arms around him and pulling him up so their cocks pressed together. \"Ohh..\"

\"Mnh!\" Remus shuddered and his eyes rolled back. \"Oh, hello...\"

\"Hi,\" Sirius grinned at him, reaching down between their bodies to take Remus\' warm and twitching cock in his hand. \"Mm, I\'ve missed you.\"

\"It\'s missed you too,\" Remus laughed with a very unsteady voice and he pressed his hips down. He put a hand at the back of Sirius\' head, sinking his fingers into the mass of black hair, and crushed their lips together, thrusting his tongue demandingly into Sirius\' mouth.

\"Mm!\" Sirius returned the kiss hungrily, rubbing his tongue against Remus\' as it wriggled in his mouth, before he chased it back into Remus\' mouth. He ran the tip of his tongue along the edges of sharp teeth, moaning when Remus caught it between said teeth and sucked on it.

Remus\' left hand was somewhere between his legs, stroking up his inner thigh, making him shiver hotly. His own free hand - that was, the one that wasn\'t eliciting the most delightful little whimpers from Remus - was slowly running down Remus\' spine, making him tremble.

He moaned at he felt Remus\' hand reach the top of his thigh and gently fondled his balls and he bucked against him, making a large wave of water flood the floor. He heard one of the candles hiss and it got a little darker. \"Sorry,\" he apologised half-heartedly.

\"Mmh... dunmatter.\" Remus kept kissing him hungrily, his hand moving to Sirius\' cock, just a fingertip stroking gently across the tip. \"No one lives... mm... below anymore.\"

\"Oh. \'K. g-good.\" Sirius stuttered, closing his eyes as a swell of heat surged through him. \"I wanna fuck you!\" he blurted out before he could stop himself.

Remus looked at him for a moment, then his lips curled into a smile. \"Thought you\'d never ask!\" he gasped, before he kissed him fiercely again, closing his hand firmly around Sirius\' cock and starting to pump up and down.

\"Mmm!\" Sirius cried out before he was silenced with Remus\' tongue. He winced a little as the hand in his hair tightened, pulling slightly, though the stinging sensation wasn\'t all that unpleasant. Quite nice, in a tingly sort of way, really. Curious. He\'d never been a masochist before... He\'d also had a lot more self-control and stamina before, and he whimpered as he had to reluctantly still Remus\' hand.

Remus broke the kiss and looked into his eyes, panting. A very becoming flush had gathered across his cheekbones, and his amber coloured eyes were heavy and dilated, looking rather predatory in the flickering glow of candles. Sirius felt like he was being mentally eaten alive. Not that that could ever be a bad thing, if it was Remus.

\"Beautiful,\" Remus whispered, breathlessly. \"Mine.\"

\"Not so sure about the \'beautiful\', but I\'m certainly yours,\" Sirius nodded and wrapped both arms around him to hug him close as he kissed him again. He felt like he could have kept kissing him all night, if only he wasn\'t so desperate to screw him. Remus was apparently in a similar dilemma, though, judging by the way he was humping so frantically against Sirius\' thigh now his dick was being neglected. Cute. Hot, too. Sirius slid both hands down his back and cupped his firm buttocks, pressing up against him as he did. He was rewarded with a low, throaty growl of passion that made him shudder.

Remus\' wrapped his arm around Sirius\' back and dug his fingers into his shoulder as he sought to press their bodies closer together. Sirius smiled into the kiss and very carefully slipped one finger between the perfect buttocks.

\"Ohhh!\" Remus broke the kiss with a loud gasp and arched back, his hips twitching demandingly.

\"We need some... er... something...\" Sirius looked at the row of bottles on the shelf above the bath.

\"This\'ll do!\" Remus pulled away with a whimper of frustration and grabbed a bottle of something pink with strawberries on the label and shoved it into Sirius\' hand.

\"Strawberry shampoo?\" Sirius grinned, taking off the lid and sniffing it. \"You great fairy!\" The laugh he gave sounded more than a little unhinged and he cringed inwardly at the sound of it.

\"It\'ll do!\" Remus growled, snatching the bottle back from him and pulling the cap open with a shaky hand.

He was too cute when he was horny and impatient, just the same as he\'d always been. Sirius wished he had the self-control to tease Remus slowly, but he couldn\'t wait that long. Soon, though...

\"Hope it won\'t make you itch,\" he said, taking the bottle back off Remus and pouring some onto his fingers. He smirked as Remus growled again. Remus always used to have a go at him for thinking so seriously during sex. \"Come here, beautiful.\"

\"How..?\" Remus moved up to straddle his hips slightly awkwardly, fidgeting to find a comfortable way to arrange his long legs.

\"This is fine,\" Sirius said, reaching beneath his legs and back, gently rubbing his soapy fingers between his buttocks and over the tight, quivering opening there. He wanted to just grab him and shove him down onto his cock and fuck him hard with only the bubbly water to aid him, but he couldn\'t hurt Remus like that.

Which brought him to wondering, quite inappropriately, whether Remus had slept with anyone else since him. He pushed the thought aside quickly, it didn\'t matter now. All that mattered was keeping his patience as he carefully pushed one slick finger into tight, trembling heat.

Remus moaned, his head falling back. \"Ohh, Sirius, please!\"

\"I don\'t want to hurt you.\" Sirius slowly moved his finger in and out, watching Remus\' neck as it stretched back and little rivulets of water and sweat ran down it onto his boyishly smooth chest. He wanted to bite him.

\"You won\'t hurt me!\" Remus told him, pressing down on the finger inside of him, writhing and shuddering as Sirius reached up and flicked his wet fingertips over his nipples. \"Give me more! I want more!\" he whimpered.

\"Impatient, aren\'t we?\" Sirius smirked, carefully adding another finger and pressing down against the swollen little gland his fingertips brushed. Remus actually howled! Oh, how he\'d missed that sound! He grinned as he saw his cock give a very visible twitch.

\"You\'re not so... ahh... bloody patient yourself!\" Remus gasped, reaching to take Sirius\' cock in his hand again. \"Now fuck me!\"

\"Already?\" Sirius asked him, shuddering with anticipation. He didn\'t want to wait, but Remus couldn\'t be ready yet, it\'d be awful if their first time together in so long caused one of them pain. It reminded him of their very first time together, his worry about hurting Remus, and Remus\' gentle reassurance that he wouldn\'t. He looked up at Remus, trying to see the man he was now, and not the shadow of the sixteen-year-old boy whose virginity he had taken on a Sunday morning in their dormitory. But this was a very different animal straddled across him now, a much more hungry beast.

\"Yes, already!\" Remus pulled off his fingers and shuffled further up, nearly slipping on the soapy bottom of the bath. \"I want you in me, now!\" Guiding Sirius\' cock with his hand, he slowly sank down on him.

\"Oh fucking hell!\" Sirius\' held his breath as he was slowly pulled into heavenly, silky heat. He took hold of Remus by the waist and felt him quivering. \"If I\'m hurting you...\"

\"Shut up,\" Remus whispered sharply, wincing as Sirius was all the way inside him. \"Doesn\'t matter, I\'ve waited too long for this.\" He closed his eyes as he gave a soft sob that could have been pleasure or pain or a mixture of both. \"Ohh...\"

Sirius looked up at him, feeling his eyes flood with tears as his heart flooded with total adoration for the most beautiful thing in the world, the only love of his life. \"I love you, Remus Lupin.\"

Remus smiled down at him, panting. \"And I love you,\" he whispered, his eyes glistening, and he leaned down to kiss Sirius\' lips softly before he sat back and started to move up and down on his cock, whimpering and trembling.

Sirius tried to resist lifting up to meet him, nervous of causing him any pain, but Remus didn\'t seem to care if it hurt, and soon he was moving hard and fast, and Sirius was holding tightly to his hips, pulling him down with each thrust, bracing himself in the slippery bath by pushing his feet and shoulders against each end of the tub.

Remus was holding the edges of the bath, head thrown back, eyes shut tight, mouth hanging open as he gasped and moaned, slamming himself down on Sirius\' cock, arching his hips forward.

It must have hurt, there was no way that couldn\'t hurt, but Sirius was ashamedly finding he wasn\'t caring anymore if it hurt Remus. It was too good, too tight, too hot, pulsing and quivering around him in glorious little spasms. He ran one hand over Remus\' chest, pinching both nipples, which made him yelp, then he let the hand trail down to close around Remus\' cock.

\"Moony...\" he whispered.

\"Mmh...\" Remus looked down at him, very concentrated, then he shuddered violently and his eyes rolled back. \"Oh God, I can\'t... too much... ohh...\"

\"Come for me,\" Sirius panted, jerking him in time with the frantic thrusts. \"Let me see you come, my Remus.\" He laughed silently at himself for sounding like such a dirty old perve but he had gone too long without a real-life vision of Remus at the height of passion, undoubtedly the hottest sight in the entire universe. He twitched.

Remus arched back, shaking tensely and crying out loudly, howling, as he moved frantically into Sirius\' hand and on his cock, any sense of rhythm now completely lost. Water and bubbles were splashing everywhere.

Sirius felt him shiver inside, felt him jerk in his hand and a moment later, hot, white fluid was gushing over his fingers and onto his stomach. \"Don\'t stop!\" he gasped as Remus faltered for a moment, and he took hold of his hips again, thrusting him down onto his cock, losing his grip on the bath and nearly sliding into the water. He had to let go of Remus to grab the sides of the tub to stop himself going under, and he was glad to have something to hold onto as the pulsing channel around his cock abruptly sucked his orgasm from him. \"Don\'t stop!\"

\"I\'m not!\" Remus cried, bucking on top of him as his own orgasm rode itself out and Sirius came inside him with a loud shout. \"Ohh...\" He gave a breathless sigh as he relaxed, slumping forward to rest his warm, damp cheek against Sirius\' forehead. \"Oh... fuck...\"

\"Not again! You gotta be bloody joking!\" Sirius laughed, once he\'d got his breath back enough to speak. His heart was thumping in his ears, his throat was burning and he was shivering now the heat had passed through him. \"Hoo! That felt good,\" he panted, closing his eyes tightly to try to stop his head spinning.

\"Yeah,\" Remus panted, lifting off him with a hiss of pain. \"Oww.\"

Sirius sat up and helped him move back. \"You OK?\"

\"Never better,\" Remus sighed with a smile as he sat back into what was left of the water. He found the sponge in the water and used it to wipe off the mess he\'d made on Sirius\' stomach. \"Heh. Sorry about that,\" he grinned cutely, casting his eyes down, then wiped himself clean.

\"Not a problem,\" Sirius smiled, leaning forward to hug Remus and kiss him softly on the forehead. \"Floor\'s a bit of a mess, isn\'t it?\" he said, looking over the edge of the tub at the pools of water.

\"Hm. It\'ll dry up,\" Remus said sleepily, kissing Sirius on the nose before standing up and clambering out of the tub. \"Let\'s go to bed.\"

\"Good idea.\" Sirius watched as Remus pulled a towel from the railing by the sink and started to dry off with it. Maybe now was the time to ask. What could be awkward after what they\'d just done? \"So who shot you up the arse?\" he enquired rudely with a broad smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

\"What?!\" Remus looked up at him quickly. \"Oh, that.\" He squirmed. \"Ask my furry counterpart.\" He held the towel out to Sirius, apparently embarrassed to tell him any more. \"You coming?\"

\"Thought I already had,\" Sirius grinned at him and pulled the plug on the bath before getting out and drying off with the towel. He had no intention of letting the matter drop, but it could wait until they were in bed. The thought of sleeping in a bed again!

\"You\'re impossible!\" Remus laughed, blowing out the candles, before taking Sirius by the hand and leading him out of the room and down the narrow corridor. \"Bedroom\'s not much, I\'m afraid,\" he said sheepishly, as he opened the door to a small, cluttered room.

\"It has a bed!\" Sirius laughed, as Remus entered the room and lit some candles. \"A bed!\" He launched himself at it and snuggled under the duvet. It smelled of Remus. \"Oh, I\'m in Heaven!\"

Remus smiled at him and drew the curtains, hiding the light of the half moon. \"It\'s hardly Heaven,\" he said, looking around the room disparagingly as he clambered under the covers beside Sirius. \"Just my crappy little bedroom.\"

\"Hey,\" Sirius pulled him into his arms and kissed him. \"If you\'re in it, it\'s perfect.\"
