The place was appalling. That was Remus’ first thought. His next was no wonder Sirius is so mixed up.
That portrait of Mrs Black in the foyer would definitely have to go. He also realized that they had a lot of work to clean the place up, make it habitable.
He wished he had insisted that Sirius and Harry live in his cottage, small and tumbledown though it was, at least it was not going to send Sirius further and further into whatever mental hell he was currently in.
The truth was, Remus was badly worried about Sirius. So worried that he had put off all sexual suggestions that he had thrown his way. He wished that they had not been interrupted that first night at the cottage, that they had become lovers then.
Unfortunately, things had happened too quickly, and they had been interrupted with urgent news, and an immediate move to London.
He shivered as he came downstairs. As a matter of course, he and Sirius were sharing a bed, but nothing else. Sirius was becoming more and more morose every day, his gloom almost palpable.
Not even the arrival of the Weasley family had helped; it had just made things worse when Sirius realized that he was not allowed to have Harry yet, nor could he write to him.
Remus wondered if Dumbledore knew how much Sirius cared about Harry. Knew that he cried himself to sleep over the fact that he could not look after him.
His worst moods were because he was trapped inside. Tonight they were to go to collect Harry. Sirius had desperately wanted to go. Remus had, for once, agreed that he should go. He knew Sirius needed to take charge of this. Needed to be Harry’s protector.
Dumbledore had adamantly refused to allow it, and had actually put a hex on Sirius to keep him in the house.
They managed to get Harry back to the house, everybody chilled to the bone and just as weary. Remus wondered how he would get through the meeting, and the aftermath of the meeting only made him more weary than ever.
Finally, it was over. Finally he could stop.
Remus made his way up to bed, stopping only for a long hot shower that managed to soothe whe worst of the cold from his body. If only his muscles would stop spasming he would be a lot happier.
He reached bed and just fell into it, tossing aside his dressing gown. Too tired, too sore to try to find his pyjamas. His head hit the pillow and he fell deeply asleep.
Sirius found him there, and was appalled at how ill he looked in his sleep. He had put on some weight in the last month, so was not as appallingly thin, but it was obvious that the effort of collecting Harry had been almost too much for Remus.
He could see the muscles in his body spasming in his sleep, and heard the soft moans of pain, saw him shivering with cold, despite the warmth. Sirius’ heart constricted. He couldn’t let Remus suffer like this. He loved him far too much. Undressing swiftly, he climbed into bed, pulling Remus’ cold body into his own warmth, cuddling him close.
He felt Remus relax into him, heard the small sigh and raised his head to gently brush Remus lips with his own. ‘You fool,’ he said. ‘Why won’t you ask for help?’ He lay down, holding Remus tight against him, chest to chest, Remus’ head tucked onto his shoulder. He felt Remus’ breathing becoming deeper, more relaxed and felt his own moving into the same rhythm. Soon, they both slept, deeply and more peacefully than they had ever slept before.
But then, they had never slept in each others arms like this before.
