Summary: Companion!Remus. Remus and The Doctor see a familiar voice when they pay a visit to Cardiff.
Remus smiled at The Doctor as the Tardis landed in Cardiff. "Why are we here again?" he asked, following The Doctor out.
"The Tardis needs to be refueled of course, and I thought I would stop by and check on an old friend."
Remus blinked. "Friend?"
"A past companion of mine. Jack Harkness."
Remus nodded. "It will be interesting to meet one of your past companions."
The Doctor smiled. "I'm warning you. One look at you, and he'll flirt. Probably not even his current lover, Ianto Jones, will be able to keep him in line."
Remus smirked. "Trust me. I can handle anything Jack throws at me. After all, I did grow up with Sirius Black."
And just as the name passed his lips, sadness filled his heart at the memory of his once best friend. They had gone to Hogwarts together, but when The Doctor showed up and took an interest in Remus, the werewolf barely hesitated before agreeing to go on an adventure. He had been fed up with the discrimination he had faced as a werewolf. He was tired of all the looks and snide comments, and nothing, not even his love for Sirius could entice him to stay.
"Sirius Black?"
"A good friend of mine. He's probably the one I have missed the most since I've chosen to travel with you."
"Maybe we can pay him a little visit?" The Doctor offered.
It was a nice thought, especially since he knew how possessive The Doctor sometimes was of his companions, but it would make leaving so much harder. "No, no. I rather not."
They arrived at Torchwood and The Doctor walked in as if he owned the place. Remus followed, but he stopped short when he saw two men at the desk. One he didn't recognize, but the other one...
"Sirius?"
The unknown man raised his eyebrows, but he was more focused on the Doctor.
Sirius stepped from around the desk. "Hello, Moony. I was hoping you would eventually show up."
Remus swallowed. He shot a look at The Doctor, who was watching curiously. He looked at Sirius, his eyes devouring the man that he had become.
"How did you get caught up with aliens?" He wasn't one to mince his words, and it was the first question that came to his mind.
Sirius crossed his arms. "When you disappeared into a blue police box with someone you called The Doctor, I did research. And I held onto to hope that if I aligned myself with Torchwood, an organization with ties to the alien world, there was a chance I would be able to see you. I guess I was right."
"You've been working with Torchwood with the hope I'd show up? You do realize how small of a chance that actually was, right?"
"It was the only thing I could think to do in the face of losing you."
Remus shook his head. "Sirius..."
"That day, nearly three years ago, after you explained how fed up you were with the wizarding world's bigotry, you told me to give you one reason to stay."
"I remember," Remus whispered. "And you said nothing."
"I wasn't ready, and I certainly didn't believe you meant it when you said you were leaving. Well, I have something to say now. I love you. That's why you should stay."
It was everything Remus hadn't wanted to hear that day. It would have been enough. If he had Sirius's love, he could have gotten through of anything. He looked at The Doctor.
The Doctor nodded, as if already knew what was coming. "Remus Lupin, you were an amazing companion. And certainly, an amazing friend. I'll miss you."
Remus smiled gratefully before he threw his arms around Sirius waist. "I love you, too."
This was the start of something new.
