Remus was lazing on his bed. He hated the summer holidays. He absolutely hated them. His parents kept him cooped up inside and his only way of communicating with James or Sirius was through letters. Which they were both awful at writing. They were either incredibly short or ostentatiously long and made no coherent sense. Even Remus had trouble understanding his two best friends sometimes. Sirius' last letter had mentioned something about a motorcycle and kidnapping Moony, but he really thought Sirius was drunk when he wrote it.

So, Remus had replied and had nothing else to do but laze on his bed and wait for the reply.

Remus blinked. And then he made a strangled sort of noise and let go of his best friend's hips. He flailed a bit for a second and then he took a step back and looked at Sirius, completely dumbfounded.

"S-sorry?" He offered. But Remus wasn't sorry. He was the opposite of sorry. And he wanted to do it again. But he couldn't just....kiss his best friend again, could he?

Sirius stared down at the floor for a few moments, not exactly knowing what to say. For one thing, if this sort of thing had happened, Sirius was sure he would have been the one initiating it. It took him completely off guard when Remus kissed him. Sirius was sure that if he had been the one to initiate it, he was pretty sure he'd cockily be trying to convince Remus that it was the right thing. But that wasn't what happened. Sirius didn't even know what to say.

"I'm not," he whispered, swearing at the floor before he swallowed hard and looked back up at his friend, staring intensely at him.

Remus nodded and took a step forward that he didn't realize he took. He averted his eyes."G-good, then," he said with another little awkward nod. He paused, and his gaze flicked back to Sirius' "Because I'm-" He couldn't do this. He couldn't. This was Sirius. This was his best mate he couldn't just throw all of that away for a few kisses. (A few very good kisses, mind you, but he still couldn't that wasn't the point.)

He realized how close he was and so he took a step back and leaned against the island in the center of the kitchen. They were still only about two feet apart. Remus thought it was too far. But that wasn't right, was it? Sirius was just supposed to be his friend. He wasn't supposed to want to snog him. "So. Er. James ask out Lily yet?" Remus winced at his own cowardice.

Sirius felt something inside him shut off a little. How was that for rejection? Remus didn't like him like that. Of course he didn't. It was just a moment of weakness.

"When doesn't he?" he asked with a dry snort. "He asks her out at least once a week through owls. And she always gives him the same answer."

Moment of weakness, Sirius's arse! Why else would he do it, besides the fact that he liked him? Cautiously, Sirius took a step closer to Remus. They could have been too close, but he didn't care anymore. This time, it was his turn. He stared at Remus for a split second, knowing that he would protest at any moment. Before he could, Sirius pressed his lips against his. Victory!

Remus laughed. "Oh right that's-" and then he was cut off. By Sirius. By Sirius' mouth. Oh god. Oh Merlin, they were kissing again. Remus didn't know if his poor heart could take all of this.

Finally, finally, Remus' brain kicked in, and he kissed back. His hand went to Sirius' hair and tugged desperately, like this was just what Remus needed throughout his whole life. But that was ridiculous of course. He hadn't known Sirius his whole life. Just since first year. Still, that was a long time.

He kissed Sirius for a long moment before a soft voice from the kitchen door sent him crashing back down to Earth. "Er. Remus?" his mum said, slightly confused. "I need some milk."

Oh Merlin, this was exactly what he needed and he never wanted to stop. All he could think about was pinning Remus into the island, right there, and never letting him go. He groaned softly in response to the tugging and pressed his hips against Remus's in the complete and absolute need he was feeling right now.

And then he heard the female voice behind him. Shite. Where was he supposed to go? He couldn't hide himself anymore. Remus's parents may not have known Sirius outside of pictures, and here he was, in their kitchen in the middle of the night, snogging her fragile werewolf son.

So incredibly awkward, Sirius stepped away, ashamed of himself as he stared at the floor they stood on.

Remus tried to get a hold of himself. The hip press had nearly killed him. He was glad he was able to stifle the noise he was about to make be cause really, no mother should have to hear their son moan like a whore. His fingers curled around the edge of the island, and he pushed himself away from it, towards the refrigerator.

"You wanted milk, Mum?" he asked politely, ignoring Sirius and the fact that three seconds ago he had been snogging his brains out. He took the bottle of milk out and a cup from the pantry and poured some for her and brought it to her. He smiled. "Goodnight Mum!"

"We'll talk about this in the morning," is all she said before she went back to bed with her glass of milk. No doubt she would be telling Remus' father everything she saw.

Sirius couldn't look up. Merlin, he had imagined meeting Remus's parents for the first time without any assumptions or bad thoughts. And here, they'd caught him snogging their only son on their island in their kitchen. He was going to hell. So much for first impressions.

He couldn't even look up at Remus, he was so ashamed. He didn't know what to say, and he knew that Remus had to be embarrassed, but he was a little busy trying to get all of those thoughts straightened out before he tried to comfort his friend. So far, it wasn't working so well.

Remus stood awkwardly at the fridge after putting the milk away. What was supposed to happen now? Why did Sirius look so ashamed? Why had he kissed him again if it was only going to cause inner turmoil?

Wait. Sirius couldn't possibly be upset about Remus' Mum catching them, could she? She didn't care, Remus was sure of it. Both of his parents loved Sirius. And James. And sometimes even Peter, when he wasn't being creepy. Tentatively, he took a step towards Sirius. He didn't say anything as he touched Sirius' cheek to get him to look up. Remus often couldn't find words to express himself. He was so awkward and this was one of the times when he hated it.

	Sirius took a few seconds to look up at Remus, but when he finally did, he knew he wasn't ready to talk about this. Nothing could have prepared him for this, nothing. It wasn't something he'd even thought about before. "I..." he trailed off, biting his lower lip. He didn't even know what to say anymore. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Remus saw the expression on his friend's face. He knew Sirius so well, and he knew that they couldn't really talk about this yet. Remus was thankful. He'd probably never find the right words to describe it. What he felt. What did he feel? He didn't even know anymore. He withdrew his hand from Sirius' face. "You ever going to show me your ride?"

	Sirius's grimace grew quickly into a bright smile. "Well, I was going to," he told Remus, "But someone wanted to go get some tea. Not my bloody fault." Sirius rolled his eyes but flashed a grin at Remus so that he knew he was only joking. "You want to see her?" he asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, I suppose I'm going to see her either way, yeah?" Remus said, raising his eyebrows. "And you're the one that asked for tea," he thought to point out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, but that's because I was too busy letting you be Rapunzel," Sirius teased. "I was saving you from your room, all the way up on the twenty-second or whatever it was floor." Even if it was just the second floor. Clearing his throat, he waved his hands dismissively. "But that's not the point! We're back to the agenda, on with the kidnapping!"

He put his arm around Remus and led him outside. Once they were within distance of the shed in which Sirius had hidden his most prized possession, he whispered right into Remus's ear, "Close your eyes."

Remus had been about to say something about kidnapping, and about how Sirius most certainly wasn't going to kidnap him or take him anywhere, but then Sirius went and whispered in his ear and Remus melted. His eyes closed and he replied with a rather strangled, "Why?" Sirius was going to be the death of him, he was sure of it.

He resisted to urge to just pull him around and kiss him. Sirius couldn't just do that; it would have been much too easy. "Because," he whispered once Remus had closed his eyes, "I want you to be surprised."
Sirius moved from beside Remus to right behind him, holding his sides and guiding him to where he had hidden the motorcycle. His face was much too close to Remus's neck, but he tried not to think about it. Once they were about three feet away from the motorcycle, Sirius whispered, "Okay. You can open them."

Remus didn't know if he could open his eyes. Remus didn't know if he was really thinking clearly with Sirius' face right beside his neck. He could feel Sirius' breath on his neck. He could feel it and it was killing him. And he kept whispering. Remus was certain he was going to die.
Still, somehow he managed to open his eyes. He gasped when he saw the motorcycle and took an unconscious step back. And ran into Sirius. Oh dear Merlin, he was screwing everything up today, wasn't he? He turned his head to look at Sirius. "You-you rode that thing?"

Sirius was going to be more careful around Remus, keep his distance, but he somehow couldn't. His hands stayed rooted at Remus's waist, and he pretended that he had forgotten they were there completely. He was mildly surprised when Remus turned his head, so close to his face, but Sirius couldn't find the sense to move at all.
He nodded his head with a slight grin. "I rode that thing. Her name is Stella." His grin widened a bit, and he looked rather mischievous. "Do you want to ride her?"

At that, Remus knew just how bad of an influence James and Sirius had been on his life because numerous jokes involving 'riding' popped into his brain. And then, he remembered Sirius' hands on his waist and all of the jokes disappeared from his mind. "Stella," he murmured. Of course, leave it to Sirius to name a motorcycle after a character in a Tennessee Williams play.

"No. No, I do not want to ride Stella, as you call her," Remus told him, trying to fathom what in the world could be going through Sirius' mind. "Why would I want to ride her, really? I hate heights. And loud things. And motorcycles. Did I tell you?" He raised an eyebrow.

He shook his head in disbelief. "Remus," he started. "Remus, Remus, Remus. Do you think you have a choice in the matter?" Sirius asked, a shit-faced grin plastered on his face. "I'm taking you with me, whether you'd like it or not. I have a surprise for you!"
Sirius sighed. How naive he really was! "Of course, I'll be on there with you and I'll keep you safe. I even have a seat for you!" Sirius looked absolutely delighted as he pointed to an attachment to the motorcycle, which included its own seat belt and helmet.

Remus eyed it warily. "No." He was quite definite in his answer. He would not be getting on that thing. No matter what. He looked at Sirius pleadingly. "Please, Sirius. Don't make me. It's dangerous. I'll die. And if I die bad things will happen. Like, like. Er..." Remus couldn't think of anything.

He shook his head. "Do you really think I'd let anything happen to you?" he asked. "I'm almost insulted! So insulted that I'm making you get on Stella and ride her with me." Sirius paused and smiled at the little play on words. "It's not dangerous, I promise. It's going to be just fine. Sirius squeezed his waist gently to reassure him.

Oh, apparently Remus was ticklish, judging from the fact that he squirmed when Sirius squeezed his hips. Perhaps it was just because it was Sirius, though, and the fact that Remus still wanted to kiss him. A lot. "I- I can't." His voice was all strangled sounding again. He'd blame it on fear. "I- My parents. They'll- They wouldn't like it. I can't." He shook his head.

"Remus," he crooned into his ear. Sirius let his hands gently move from his waist to his lower stomach, lingering there with a feathery touch. "I won't let anything happen to you. I'm sure your parents are mad enough at me as it is. We might as well just stretch it a little bit more." He rested his head on Remus's shoulder, his head turned towards Remus's. "The tiniest bit more," he whispered. "And I promise, I won't let anything happen to you."

Oh Merlin. MAYDAY. MAYDAY, Sirius Black's hands were touching his stomach and Remus thought he was going to die. His eyes closed again, and he took a deep breath. This too, he'd blame on fear. "N-no. No. I can't." He struggled against Sirius' hands, bringing his own down to tug Sirius' off his waist.
"No, Sirius," he repeated. "I'm sorry. I can't. It's not- I can't." God, Sirius had vice grips for hands.

He kept his hands right where they were and stared at Remus with a more serious expression. "Why not?" he asked. "Why don't you want to?" Sirius was thoroughly confused. Even if he was using somewhat unfair tactics.
"It's not what?" he asked, his warm breath coming out evenly against Remus's cheek.

The more Sirius held onto him, the more Remus struggled. He was not enjoying this. Except maybe he was just a tiny bit but mostly he was not enjoying this. His fingers curled around Sirius' and he tugged as hard as he could. That was no fair. Sirius couldn't just do things like that and speak into his ear and have his breath against his cheek. It was entirely unfair.
"It's not-" Remus paused again. "I just can't, Sirius. Please. Just. I can't."

He looked absolutely frustrated at how the situation had turned out. Sirius wanted nothing more than to take Remus and fly them off into the horizon to see a brilliant sunrise and have everything be happily ever after, but no.
He removed his hands and crossed his arms, leaning against the shed. "Okay," he whispered. "That's fine, then. If that's what you'd rather."

Oh he could breathe again, once Sirius let go.He moved away, as far away as he could and crossed his arms around himself. "Don't be like that Sirius," he said, not quite looking at him. "I can't- I don't like it. As much as I like you, I cannot ride a flying motorcycle. You can't possibly be made at me for that."
