Valentine Confession

Part One.

Remus John Lupin hated Valentine's day.

In his humble opinion, it was a cheap scam to get people to buy expensive chocolates and flowers for others. And that was a scam he most certainly was NOT going to fall for.

Remus made his way up to the Gryffindor Common Room in a very bad mood. He had been late for three classes, thanks to the stupid dwarfs Dumbledore had hired to deliver cards to the students. He had missed lunch because he had to serve a detention with McGonagall for helping Peter, Sirius and James blow up a desk. And to top it all, he had recieved homework from all of his lessons and his bag was on the verge of tearing from the heavy weights it was bearing.

Sighing, Remus gave the Fat Lady the password ("Lovehearts") and she grinned at him. Her hair was tied into a bright pink bow and she was wearing a matching dress.

"Happy Valentine's day to you," She chirped.

Remus smiled weakly and climbed through the portrait hole. He groaned inwardly as he stalked past a group of about five giggling third year girls who were comparing cards they had recieved. Their cooing and simpering was very irritating.

Flopping into a chair, Remus covered his face with his hands and closed his eyes. For once the Common Room was quiet and pretty much empty. Remus smiled slightly and enjoyed the silence...

"Hiya Moony!"

Remus jumped as his best friend, Sirius Black, leapt into his lap and wrapped his arms around his neck. Sirius grinned at the look of surprise passing over Remus' face.

"Whatcha doing?"

"Trying to relax. Why aren't you off snogging someone in a broom closet like James and Peter?"

"Don't want to."

"Why? No date?"

"No."

"Why not?"

Sirius scowled slightly. "Even though I can have anyone in the school-"

"Bighead."

"-I want to stay here and keep you company."

"That's sweet."

Remus smiled for the first time all day and hugged Sirius. He felt a small gathering of butterflies flutter about his tummy but he chose to ignore them. He had gained a crush on Sirius when they had met during their first year. Now they were in their sixth. Remus felt so strongly towards his gorgeous best friend it was sometimes overbearing to be around him. He wanted so much to reach out and caress Sirius' face and kiss his heart shaped lips, to make him scream his name and beg him for more...

And even though Sirius was gay, Remus knew he didn't have a chance with him. Sirius was tall and strong with beautiful skin and a perfect face. Why would Sirius even bother with a scrawny, scruffy boy like him?

Sirius rested his head on Remus' shoulder and smirked.

"Remus, I know you hate Valentine's day and everything...but can I give you something?"

The werewolf suddenly felt a bit more cheerful. He grinned and nodded.

"Sure you can."

Sirius snuggled slightly closer and whispered, "You sure?"

Remus felt his breathing quicken. Sirius was so close he could have counted the few freckles that littered his tanned cheeks. Those cheeks...damn they looked soft. Remus reached out a hand and stroked one gently, running his fiingers down to Sirius' jawbone. The animagi purred slightly in contentment and a weird shock rushed through Remus.

"I'm sure." Remus whispered.

"Sure you're sure?"

"Yes, Sirius!"

"Okay then..."

Sirius leaned forwards and closed the small gap between them. Remus shut his eyes and stars erupted behind his closed lids. His lips parted and he stiffled a groan as Sirius ran his tongue along his lower lip. Through the pleasent fog that had clouded his mind, Remus followed suite and copied what Sirius had done.

Kissing Sirius felt better than Remus had ever imagined. Wave after wave of pleasure washed over him and he licked at Sirius mouth as if he were a bar of candy. In fact, Sirius tasted a LOT like candy...

"Mmm...chocolate lip balm?"

Sirius nodded slightly. "I thought you might like it..."

"It's lovely."

"No, YOU are lovely."

"Soppy git."

Sirius chuckled and licked Remus' cheek playfully. Remus giggled and wiped at the damp patch on his skin.

"That's gross!"

"You like it really..."

Sirius smirked and ran his tongue lightly down Remus' face and suckled his neck. Remus tossed his head back and exposed more of his skin to Sirius. He let a small moan escape his mouth and ran a hand through Sirius' silky locks.

Sirius wriggled slightly and his errection pressed uncomfortably against his jeans. He moved a hand down to Remus' crotch and felt a familiar hardness against his hand.

"Why don't we take this somewhere a little bit more private?"
