Once again, he'd survived. There had been moments in the past when Remus sometimes prayed for death during his transformations because he was so ashamed and disgusted with the creature he became. However, he did not hate the wolf inside of him as much as he used to, because in truth he had to be grateful to it. If not for his furry little problem, he and the other Marauders might not have been so close. His problem had brought them together in a way that only they themselves could understand. They'd bonded in a way that not many others could really even understand. For that, he had to be thankful for his condition. Nevertheless, he still worried about his friends getting involved. They could be seriously injured, or worse. It would've been better for all of them if Remus just dealt with his issue himself, but the others didn't seem to think that way.

After spending the full day in the infirmary, Remus snuck back through the castle, to the Common room, and up into their dorm. He'd left during dinner, when he knew almost everyone would be gathered in the Great Hall. It left him free to make it back unnoticed, which was how he preferred it. Once inside, he took his shoes off and switched into his pajama bottoms. He left his t-shirt and the cardigan Sirius had lent him on and curled up under the covers. For an hour, maybe two, he laid alone in silence, just trying to relax. He was still sore and terribly exhausted, though Madam Pomfrey did amazing work in healing his injuries.

Sirius didn't feel like dinner. He picked his way through the shepards pie, idly wondering when Pomphrey would let Remus out of the prison, er, infirmary. By the time pudding came around he was far too twitchy to enjoy it, so he made his excuses to James and Peter and headed back to Gryffindor tower. He knew his others friends would most likely linger in the Hall, then spend some time in the common room. He was a little glad, really just wanting to be alone for a while and work through the epic funk he could feel coming on.

He plodded his way up the stairs and shrugged his way into the room, not bothing to muffle the sound. He had removed his robes, tie, and outer shirt and was working on his trousers when he noticed he wasn't alone. Redoing his fly, he tip toed over to Remus' closed curtains and opened them without a sound.

Remus ws curled up on the covers, looking so small and vulnerable, and Sirius felt his heart leap into his throat. He couldn't tell if the werewolf was awake, he was lying with his back to Sirius, but he could tell by the shallow breathing that he was still in pain. So Sirius crawled onto the bed and pulled the curtains shut before resting a hand gently on Remus' back.

"Moony?"

Most of his muscles felt as though they were in knots. Remus ought to have stayed in the infirmary another night, really, but he just wanted to go back to his own bed. It was damn near impossible to sleep in the infirmary beds anyway, and he never could get comfortable. Being back in his room, surrounded by familiar sounds, scents, and sights made it easier for him to relax despite all the pain he was in.

He heard the sound of someone entering the room, and somehow he knew without having to move that it was Sirius. Whether his senses were still heightened, or it was just keen intuition, he'd been right. He felt the other boy's weight on the other side of his bed, followed by the warmth of his body nearby. Anyone else's touch would've caused him to tense up and recoil. Sirius' touch was soothing, though, and his tension subsided somewhat beneath it.

"Did I hurt you?" He asked softly, his voice still a bit hoarse. It was always a concern for him after each full moon. It wasn't really him that caused any damage, but he still felt responsible. And the worst part was, they couldn't exactly get their injuries checked out by Poppy. They had to heal themselves, and none of them were exactly trained.

	"Yeah. Anytime." Remus was looking at him now, those eyes, slightly lidded and a little heavy, and that sweet little smile curving up the corner of his lips... Sirius couldn't help himself, he reached out and traced the dip where cheek met mouth and followed the curve down to the slightly jaw. "I just want you to be happy," he whispered.
