“Look, I’m not trying to make fun of you. But clearly, Remus… needed you last night. So, you’re a good friend.”

James smiled. “You’re sweet though, Sirius.”

“Trust me, your secret is safe for me.” James lifted his hands and winked.

James came out of the bathroom right then. “Morning,” he said quietly, not wanting to wake the two sleeping beauties yet.

James just smirked to himself. His next goal? Get Sirius to realize liking a boy wasn’t wrong. Maybe get them together by Christmas. He walked into the bathroom to get ready. Remus snuggled closer to Sirius.

James woke up first the next morning, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. He slipped out of bed, noticing Remus’ curtains were open. He walked over, seeing Sirius and Remus tangled together. Remus’ face was pressed into Sirius’ chest.

Remus let out a soft sigh in his sleep, his hand reaching up to hold Sirius’ arm.

Remus found himself quickly falling asleep once he accepted that Sirius was staying. In his sleep, he drifted closer to Sirius, mostly spurred by the wolf recognizing Sirius’ scent as safe. He slotted against his side.

Remus shifted to his side to look at Sirius. He remembered how sometimes he would sneak into bed with his mother. But that had been so long ago. Now she was dead and it was Remus’ fault. What if the same thing happened to Sirius?

Remus nodded. “You… you can go back to bed now. I’m sorry for keeping you up.”

“You did thank me. I can thank you for this.”

Remus watched Sirius’s chest rise and fall. It was soothing, knowing he was safe. Especially after the fight today. “Thank you.”

Remus nodded. “Okay,” he whispered.

“Could you ever forgive someone who has lied to you about everything they are?”

Remus looked at the ceiling. “Sirius?”

Remus sighed. “Can you just… stay with me?”

“I… I might just stay awake,” he quietly admitted.

Remus nodded, letting out a sigh of relief. “Okay.”

Remus nodded. “I… I hate lying to you. I don’t want to. I just… I can’t put you at risk.”

Remus swallowed. “I-I’ll ask her. Okay?”
