I have no idea how many costume changes Juliet would have. I was just having fun dressing Remus up all perty like. 8D

Sorry if this part sucks, I didn't get a chance to read over it and I wanted to get it up before the end of the day.

"You need a haircut," Drew joked and Sirius saw him reach over and ruffle Remus' hair. He suppressed a growl as he reluctantly agreed. Remus looked good with long hair but not that long. But that didn't mean that Drew had to tell him that.

"I know," Remus said shooing the hand away and threw the dress at him. "Hang that up?"

"Yes, malady," Drew said and just dodged a shoe that was thrown at him. "Oi! No need for head damage!"

Remus laughed and poked his head over the stall like door. "Then stop being a smartarse. And can you hand me that next one?"

"Don't want to walk around naked?" Sirius asked thinking it was the time to intervene. Drew waved to him with a smile while Remus just rolled his eyes in amusement.

"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Remus asked as he was handed the green dress.

"Yup," Sirius answered truthfully and smiled bigger when he saw Remus blush before he turned away. "Want some help with your dress?"

"I'm fine, thanks," Remus mumbled slipping his next costume on. Drew silently snuck away while Sirius leaned on the changing room stall. "Have you talked to James recently?"

Sirius nodded as he watched Remus reaching for the back buttons. He reached over and helped him, ignoring his protests. "Apparently, Evans is enjoying herself which is making Prongs happy. That's all I want."

"That's all?" Remus asked smoothing out the newest dress and silently berating women for changing clothes so often. "Nothing else that you want?"

Sirius looked over at Remus thinking to himself that there was one thing he wanted. But before he got the chance to say so, James was running over. "Places, people!"

"No more Muggle telly for you," Remus said walking out smiling sweetly at James who was glaring back.

The next few acts went by smoothly with only a few mistakes, but none were big enough to irk James into another rant. By the next time the third kiss came, both boys were ready but with different plans. Sirius tried to kiss Remus on the lips again but instead Remus turned his head so he got the cheek.

When Sirius landed on the ground from climbing down the rope ladder, he looked up at the balcony. "And trust me, love, in my eye so do you. Dry sorrow drinks our blood. Adieu, adieu!"

"O fortune, fortune!" Remus said waving to the leaving Sirius. "All men call thee fickle. If thou art fickle, what dost thou with him that is renowned for faith? Be fickle, fortune, for then, I hope, thou wilt not keep him long, but send him back."

Just then, Lady Capulet walked in. The next scene was a little shaky because of all the fighting between Capulet and his 'daughter' but was fine other than that.

Everyone continued to say their lines the best they could with the week of practice they'd gotten. They had just acted the scene where Remus had gone to Friar Lawrence to get the potion and now he was sitting on the transfigured bed talking to himself.

"Oh, look!" he said looking off into the audience while clutching the vial close to his chest. "Methinks I see my cousin's ghost seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body upon a rapier's point. Stay, Tybalt, stay! Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here's drink. I drink to thee."

He drank the contents of the vial that Peter, who played Friar Lawrence, had given him while he thought 'At least I don't have any more lines for a while.' He slumped down onto the bed and feigned sleep while the curtains closed.

The bed moved as he sat up and saw Drew, Sirius, and some other boys moving it from where it was levitating. "Can I sleep now?" he asked with a smile when they were far enough off stage so none of the girls could hear them.

"Soon, Moony," Sirius said smiling back and held out his hand for him to take. Once he was standing on his own two feet, Remus turned to look for James to see how he was. The other boy was talking animatedly to one of the other actors.

"Now I get to find out you're dead," Sirius quietly joked watching their friend too. He wrapped his arms around Remus' neck in a hug as they continued to watch him.

"Not before my 'future husband'," Remus said, faintly leaning back into Sirius. They stayed like that for a moment until James walked over. "How're we doing?" He pulled away from the other boy to stand next to him casually; he failed to see the slight frown sent his way.

"Brilliantly!" James said hugging them both tightly then pulled back. "Now get to the stage, Padfoot. You're cue is comin' up."

"Pushy," Sirius said and laughed as he was pushed toward the front.

Drew and some of the other actors had walked off the stage and were talking quietly amongst themselves until the Hufflepuff saw Sirius. "You're not up for a bit, are you?"

Sirius shrugged and gestured back to where James and Remus were last. "Mr. Bossy said to come up here."

"I guess he's getting a little anxious," Drew said as the two of them half-heartedly watched the other actors.

Sirius had noticed how much time the other boy had been spending with Remus and how friendly they'd become, which was making him a little nervous. "So," he started, trying to sound curious, "Why did you agree to this play? Did James blackmail you or something?"

Drew chuckled with a small shake of his head. "No, Remus asked me too and I just didn't have the heart to say no. Plus, I thought it might get someone to notice me. And I think it might have worked."

"Who?" Sirius asked crossing his arms over his chest.

Drew looked over at him and saw that he was standing defensively and chuckled to himself. "Come over here and I'll show you." Sirius gave him a curious/cautious look but did what he said. Because the two of them were hidden just beyond the curtains, no one could see them. He pointed out into the audience. "Marty."

Sirius looked over the crowd naming everyone he could, but couldn't find 'Marty.' "Who are you talking about? I don't see a Marty."

"Martina Mae," Drew clarified pointing out at the Ravenclaw girl in their year. She was sitting next to Lily and the two were whispering together. "I heard that she was coming to see the play and thought maybe she'd finally notice me for someone that doesn't just help her in Herbology."

Sirius suddenly felt really foolish for thinking even for a second that Drew was after his Remus. 'Not exactly my Remus.' "So, you think its working?"

Drew nodded with a wistful smile. "Yeah. Remus does too. Told me so himself." He sat down on the ground and looked up at Sirius. "What about you? Why're you doing this?"

"James asked me to," he answered sitting down too, carefully listening to the lines for his cue.

"That's it? No other reason…like Remus was in it?"

Sirius looked at Drew in shock but quickly covered it up. "Well, yeah. I figured if I have to suffer, I should suffer with someone I like."

Drew smiled and leaned back on his hands. "That it?"

"And I'm trying to get someone to notice me," Sirius said with a mocking smirk.

"Like Remus," Drew said affirmatively and chuckled when Sirius blushed with the same shocked look on his face. "Knew it."

"I'm not trying to get Moony to notice me," he said affronted as he quickly stood up.

"Hang him, Jack!" came from the stage. "Come, we'll in here, tarry for the mourners and stay dinner."

"Doesn't matter," Drew said standing too so he could get out of the way of the three boys coming off. "He already notices you. Told me so. Break a leg." He walked off with the others while Sirius thought about what he said.

After a few moments of thinking, he quickly walked onto the stage with a huge smile on his face. "If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, My dreams presage some joyful news at hand."

During the next part of the play, Sirius thought of a plan and finally came up with one when he remembered a very specific scene coming up. In the 'tomb' Remus was laying very still on the make-shift bed which just urged Sirius in his plan. There would be no way for him to escape.

He carefully climbed next to him on the bed and recited the lines while cupping Remus' face gently as he looked down. "Eyes, look your last. Arms, take your last embrace. And, lips, O you the doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss a dateless bargain to engrossing death."

He pulled the vial from an earlier scene out of his pocket and looked at it for a second before turning to Remus. He leaned down so his lips were just hovering over Remus'. "Happy Valentine's Day, Moony." He closed his eyes and closed the gap, kissing him fully on the lips.

Remus stiffened at the enjoyable kiss and stayed still, not wanting to break the moment.

"Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavory guide," Sirius said pulling away and continued to recite his lines. "Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on the dashing rocks thy seasick, weary bark. Here's to my love!" He uncorked the top and drank the pumpkin juice inside. "O true apothecary, thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die." He carefully fell to the side, hoping that Remus wouldn't kill him when they were done.

The two laid there while Peter and the boy who played Balthazar recited their lines from outside the 'tomb'. Both boys were thinking about the kiss and Remus couldn't wait to 'wake up,' forming his own little plan figuring he could blame the play for what he was about to do.

"Ah, what an unkind hour is guilty of this lamentable chance! The lady stirs."

Remus slowly opened his eyes and sat up, pretending to be drowsy. When he saw Peter he smiled brightly. "O comfortable Friar! Where is my lord? I do remember well where I should be, and there I am. Where is my Romeo?"

There was a noise from off stage, making both look over. "I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep. Come, I'll dispose of thee among a sisterhood of holy nuns. Stay not to question, for the watch is coming. Come, go, good Juliet. I dare no longer stay."

"Go, get thee hence, for I will not away," Remus said gently pushing Sirius so he was now laying on his back with his eyes still closed. If Remus didn't know he was acting, he'd believe that he was really dead. His skin was pale and he was completely motionless.

Peter looked from Remus back to where the noise came from then hurried out. "What's here?" Remus asked taking the vial from Sirius' hands. "A cup, closed in my true love's hand? Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end. O churl, drunk all, and left no friendly drop to help me after? I will kiss thy lips. Haply some poison yet doth hang on them, to make me die with a restorative."

Remus inhaled deeply to steady his nerves and leaned down. "Happy Valentine's Day, Padfoot." He closed his eyes and kissed him slowly and seductively, still hoping he could blame the scene.

Off to the side two boys walked in just outside the 'tomb.' "Lead, boy. Which way?"

Remus looked over at them, "Yea, noise? Then I'll be brief. O happy dagger, this is thy sheath. There rust and let me die." He grabbed the magical dagger and shoved it into his chest. Fake blood spilled from the 'wound' as he gasped then fell back, laying right next to Sirius.

While the others finished off the lines, Sirius held Remus' hand and lightly smiled when he squeezed back.

After the play was finished, everyone that participated and had seen it went to a party hosted in the Gryffindor Tower (with McGonagall supervising them). All were dressed normally and Remus even got his hair back to its normal length. He was sitting by the fireplace in the overstuffed chair, trying to keep an eye out for Sirius. The two hadn't spoken to each other after the play and he was begging to worry that maybe the kiss had been a bad idea.

But there was nothing he could do about what happened, just deal with the consequences. However bad they might be.

About fifteen minutes later, Remus had closed his eyes and was listening to the party around him. Most of it was chatter but there was music coming from some odd place, not that it was bugging him. Just as the song was changing, he felt someone sit on the arm rest and lean back. "Having fun, Julie?"

Remus chuckled as he opened his eyes to see Sirius sitting there. "Better now," he confessed, glad to know that they were still talking to one another. "You?"

"Fan-bloody-tastic," Sirius said turning to the side and slipped down so he was now sitting on Remus' lap sideways. "Guess who I talked to."

"James?" he guessed and hesitantly wrapped his arms around Sirius' waist like the other had tried to do earlier.

"No, Beake actually." Sirius pointed to the Hufflepuff boy over his shoulder. He and Martina were talking to each other and he saw her laugh. "Did you know that he liked her?"

Remus nodded thinking about the way Drew would stare off into space when she was even mentioned. "I guess he got the girl, huh?"

"Yup," Sirius said leaning on Remus' shoulder while looking up at him. "What was that kiss about?"

"Which one?" Remus asked with a blush, he knew exactly which one Sirius was referring to but didn't want to make a fool of himself if it wasn't.

Sirius wrapped his arms around his neck and pulled him closer, "You know which one." Before Remus could react, he leaned forward and kissed him slowly and tenderly, glad that Remus responded earnestly.

When they broke apart to breathe, both boys had huge smiles on their faces. "Fan-bloody-tastic," Remus said in a daze. Sirius chuckled and leaned in for another kiss.

Ze end!

Be kind, review?
