Chapter Text
“Ahhh FUCK…the pain is…is unbearable. Blaring sirens, blinding lights, the hustle of paramedics running to my side.” The last thoughts before Sirius start to slip into a coma. His last sight a fast-moving ceiling with lights.
We have a male victim in critical condition from a motorcycle accident. He has been slipping in and out of conscience. Quick, get him to the I.C.U. Stat. over the intercom a nurse announces. “Paging Dr. Lupin to the I.C.U., Paging Dr. Lupin to I.C.U.” Remus rushes through the halls of the hospital, adrenaline high. He loves his job, the excitement, and he loves to help people.
Remus makes it to the room with Sirius laying on the gurney, stiff and unaware. Remus catches a look at the man and is taken aback. “He is beautiful” A nurse calling out his vitals in the background. Remus snaps out of it and saves him.
“Ok, cut him out of his clothes and lift him on the table in 1, 2, 3. lift. Let’s get an IV started and…” Remus did what he does best he took control of the room and the situation. But his thoughts could only go to Sirius's face and how beautiful he is. Remus thought about what his name could be, Remus thought about many things with his patient. Remus worked on Sirius for hours to stabilize him. “We are in the clear his vitals are all stable. Excellent work team!” He watched as his patient laid still in this coma. Remus knew at this point it was up to his patient to fight. He checked on the beautiful man very often wondering who he is.

“Good morn, Lily, How is our patient this morning?” Lily looks up and smiles. “Hey Remus, the Mystery man is still sleeping but stable. We still don’t know who he is and no-one has reported someone missing. I hope he wakes up and we find out soon so you two can go on a date.”
Remus looks at Lily in shock. “Don’t give me that look, I saw you in the I.C.U. when you saw his face. you were not subtle sir.” Remus rolls his eyes and gives a small smirk. “We don’t even know if he is into guys, married or anything, Lils. but he is nice to look at.”
Lily gives him a small embrace and begins to walk away when she remembers and turns back. “Oh, Hey Remus, Do you think you can make it tonight. The get together is at the Potters?”
Remus gives Lily a look she knows as finding a way out of this. “Remus, you can’t fool me we have been best friends for over 12 years I know what every facial expression you make means. You are coming to the get together even if I have to drag myself I want my bestie there.”
Remus lets out a sigh. “Fine, I'll be there.”
Later that night at the get-together James was getting sentimental as he does often and he wanted to show off in front of Lily. He insisted everyone go to the living room while he sets up the slide show he made with all his friends and his relationship with Lily.
The slideshow begins as the photos and some short videos pop up on the screen a familiar yet unknown face pops up on the screen. Remus and Lily freeze and give each other a worried/confused look.
“Wait, James please go back.” Said Lily. Remus sits up straight full attention on the screen. “Who is that guy?”
James laughs. “What are you interested in? Trying to live me for my best friend Sirius?” Lily gives Remus a startled look and her voice gets very low and soft.
