~Hogwarts - Fifth Year~

S.B, J.P, R.L, P.P, are the letters above each crimson bed in the Gryffindor boy's dorm. Though, there might as well just be three beds because one Sirius Black can't stand sleeping alone. Of course only the Marauders know this because if anyone else found out that Sirius gets nightmares and is scared of the dark, then he wouldn't be scared to commit a murder. Actually, only one Marauder knows that Sirius is scared of the dark other than Sirius himself. That one Marauder is Remus Lupin.

The reason why only Remus knows is because he actually found out by himself. Last year, James won the battle of whether they have a light on in the room when they go to bed, choosing to have no lights on. That night, Remus couldn't sleep because the full moon was approaching, and neither could Sirius. Though Sirius couldn't sleep for a different reason. Remus heard whimpering, and so he went to the source of the noise, Sirius' bed, and saw that his best friend was curled up in a ball, crying with his wand in a soft 'lumos'.

Since then, when the room seems too dark, Sirius sleeps in Remus' bed with him. Of course Remus doesn't mind, he actually quite enjoys it. At first he didn't know why he felt all fluttery inside when Sirius would cuddle up to him in the middle of the night, but now he has realised.

Tonight in particular, Sirius managed to fall asleep before he was woken by a nightmare. A nightmare about his family. His family that abuse him, verbally, mentally, physically, and other ways that he doesn't like to think about. He tried to fall asleep again, but the room was especially dark tonight, the moon light didn't reach far through the window. Sirius tried his best but couldn't bear it anymore. He slowly got out of bed, the cool air stinging his bare legs as he pulled the covers off himself. He only likes to wear a jumper to bed and his boxers so getting out of bed into the cold air is always a struggle. Sirius quietly walked across the dark room, hurrying in fear but also careful not to trip over anything to wake up his other friends.

"Moony?" Sirius quietly whispered, gently pulling back the curtains around Remus' bed.

"Pads? You ok?" Remus asked, his eyes looking red from his lack of sleep due to the stress of the full.

"Nightmare," Sirius sighed, he hated the feeling of bothering his friends in the middle of the night.

"Want to talk about it?" Remus asked, scooting over in his bed, making space for Sirius to lie down.

"Not really," Sirius said, rubbing his eyes, trying to make it look like he hadn't just been crying in his sleep.

Remus pulled the curtain shut around his bed once Sirius was comfy. The sheets felt warmer than the ones on Sirius' bed, it felt like he was given an instant hug as soon as he slipped under the soft duvet. Remus then reached for his wand and whispered a quiet 'lumos' and set the wand at the end of the bed, where it was safe from being knocked off the bed. The area of Remus' bed now glows with a dim light, bright enough to see in, but dark enough to fall asleep in. The werewolf gently brought his hands up to Sirius' face, lowering his hands to expose his tear streaked face. Tucking a few strands of long ebony hair behind Sirius' ear, he smiled slightly at his best friend who has recently discovered he has romantic feelings towards. Too bad Sirius would never like him back, he thought.

The taller boy lay down on his pillow, opening his arms for Sirius to cuddle into if he wanted. Sirius gladly took the invitation and snuggled up into Remus' scarred chest. The werewolf's strong, long arms wrapped around Sirius' strong but more petite body, their legs tangled together under the warm duvet.

"Night, Sirius," Remus sighed, closing his eyes and finally allowing himself to relax into a sleeping state.

"Night, Moony. Love you," Sirius muttered, taking in a deep breath and enjoying the scent of Remus, one that seems strangely nostalgic.

"Love you too," Remus responded, his tummy filling with butterflies at the hope that Sirius didn't just say it because he is half asleep and sleep deprived.
