Remus was not too tired to grin warmly and take another half dozen steps into a tight hug.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I missed you,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he sighed.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m glad you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re safe,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius replied. He pulled back and held Remus as arm\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s length, doing the customary check for new injuries and\/or permanent marks. Remus mused silently that most of the new ones were in places Sirius wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t likely to see until Remus had a long hot shower and a good sleep, but he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t begrudge Sirius the once-over. Nor did he mind the chance to stare shamelessly back. <\/p>\n<p>\tHis hair is awfully long, Remus noted with fond exasperation. Or maybe that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just because he hardly ever wears it down. <\/p>\n<p>\tRemus frowned slightly. Sirius was never without his infuriatingly attractive ponytail these days.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Why do you have your hair down?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus asked, trying to sound as if he was just curious.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oh, you know,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius avoided looking him in the eye. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t found an elastic yet this morning.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s one on your wrist,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus pointed out, becoming even more suspicious.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153So there is,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius did a poor job acting surprised, and still made no move to tie up his hair. He raised an eyebrow. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I thought you liked it better down anyway, Moony?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You know I do,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus moved closer, brushing his nose close to Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 took the bait and kissed him firmly, always better at showing how much he missed Remus than telling. For a few seconds, Remus forgot what he was doing, then moved his hands up to tangle in Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 hair. He brushed a thumb across Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 ear\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n<p>\tSirius hissed in pain and jerked back.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What was that?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus demanded.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nothing!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius stepped away and smoothed his hair back down.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Let me see,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus ordered sharply.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to be angry,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius hedged, letting his hand drop. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to tell me I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m stupid.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I will not,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus coaxed, advancing slowly. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I just want to see.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\tSirius chewed on his lower lip with reluctance, then reached up to swipe the hair away from his ear and glared at Remus defiantly. <\/p>\n<p>\tSirius ear was the size of a marble, discolored and oozing something that couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t possibly be healthy. Buried in the mess was a gold stud.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oh, Sirius,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus sucked in a sympathetic breath, then rolled his eyes. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153An earring? Honestly.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I knew you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d think it was stupid,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius growled, dropping his hand and letting the hair swing back over the bit of flesh that used to be his ear.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t said anything,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus soothed, trying not to look like he was thinking it loudly. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Why don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you sit down and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll look at it. And tie your hair out of the way.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you tired?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius looked a twinge guilty as he sat back in his chair. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It can wait until later.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yes, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m exhausted,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus answered, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d rather keep your earlobe from falling off first, if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mind. I like that earlobe and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got plans for it later.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\tSirius gave Remus a baleful look and Remus swallowed a laugh. He tilted Sirius head to the side so he could get a better look and inspected the ear more closely.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Are you going to tell me how this happened, then?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153James and I successfully completed our first command assignment,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius answered proudly.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wonderful!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus interrupted excitedly, pausing in his examination to kiss Sirius in congratulations.  \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have to give me all the details\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6AFTER you explain about the earring.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Anyway,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius continued, grinning a little sheepishly, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153we decided to celebrate. And then I said we should commemorate the occasion, and he said we should get pierced, and then there was some firewhiskey and things go blank for a bit\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6and here I am.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153But how did it get like this?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus prompted. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153And why haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you done something about it?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It just sort of did,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius shrugged. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153And you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t heal piercings with magic, you have to let them heal on their own or they close.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I hate to tell you this, Padfoot,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus touched the lobe gingerly, making<br \/>\nSirius wince, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153but I think this piercing is beyond saving anyhow.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Knew you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d say that,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius grumbled.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Do you want to take out the stud, or should I do it?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus asked.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You do it,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius wrinkled his nose. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even want to touch it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\tRemus rolled his eyes and reached up to the earring.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153OW!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius yelled, making Remus jump.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even touched it yet!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus snapped.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sorry,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius apologized with a hopeful grin. Remus huffed a sigh and took a firm hold of Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 chin.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Now hold still,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he admonished. Remus carefully pulled the back of the earring with only a small grunt from Sirius, but a small tug proved that the earring was virtually glued in place by the infected secretions of Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 earlobe. <\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sorry,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus said, gritting his teeth.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sorry for wha\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6AAAAAAAH!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\tRemus dropped the earring and everything stuck to it into the dustbin without looking at it closely and still felt a bit queasy. Sirius glared at him while he clutched his ear, a trickle of blood and\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6other things oozing out from between his fingers.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Had to be done,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus tried to placate him, pulling out his wand.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Just fix it,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius hissed through clenched teeth.<\/p>\n<p>\tRemus gently pried away Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 hand and touched the tip to the remains of his earlobe, telling himself that the wand was going right into some boiling water immediately after he was finished.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153<i>Imputrify<\/i>,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he murmured, and Sirius tensed, then sighed in relief.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Thanks, Moony,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius brushed Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 hand.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Maybe you should wash your hands,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus suppressed a shudder. While Sirius complied, Remus set his defiled wand down on the table and went to see about that hot shower.<\/p>\n<p>\tHe was just starting to feel half-human when he heard the door creak open, and he made out Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 profile through the clouds of steam. Remus stuck his head out of the curtain to see Sirius peering into a spot he had wiped clear on the mirror and fingering the healed earlobe. He caught Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 glance in the reflection and smiled ruefully.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It was really cool,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said mournfully. Remus rolled his eyes, but reached out with a dripping hand to tug Sirius close for a conciliatory kiss. Sirius made a noise deep in his throat and shoved the curtain aside to pull Remus against him more firmly, ignoring the spray of water that began soaking him, the floor, and everything else in the tiny bathroom of their flat.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re making a mess,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus mumbled against Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 mouth. Sirius responded by pushing Remus back into the shower and following him, still fully clothed. He yanked the shower curtain closed behind him before pressing Remus into the wall with renewed force. He ran his tongue across Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 jaw, making the werewolf catch his breath.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Better?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he whispered in Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 ear, brushing his tongue against the soft folds. Remus shuddered his response and tilted his head slightly to nip at Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 neck. When Sirius groaned softly, Remus took another patch of skin harder, leaving a mark this time. <\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Not good enough,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus growled, lifting his head to kiss Sirius, running his tongue against the inside of Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 lower lip. Sirius sucked Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 tongue viciously as he ground Remus into the wall, one hand clutching at the other man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hip convulsively. Remus gasped and swore as the rough fabric scratched his erection half-painfully, and he flexed his hands against the smooth tile behind him for support. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Take it off,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he ordered, voice sharp from lust.<\/p>\n<p>\tSirius laughed throatily but didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t release Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 mouth or his hip as he reached up to his robe clasp with one hand and undid it, letting it slide to the floor. Remus let go of the tile to run his hands underneath Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 underlying T-shirt, which was also soaked and clung to him tightly. He was dimly aware that his legs were trembling and if Sirius stepped back, he would spill to the floor of the shower.<\/p>\n<p>\tHe didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think Sirius moving away would be a problem anytime soon. <\/p>\n<p>\tSirius seemed disinclined to worry about the T-shirt, but at Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 breathless plea he slid a hand between them to undo his trousers and push them out of the way, along with his underwear. He sank back against Remus heavily and ground him into the wall, dropping his head to suck savagely at the hollow where Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 neck met his shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>\tRemus let his head fall back against the tile and whimpered helplessly at the slick heat that the friction of their bodies was creating between them.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sirius,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus tried to speak, but his words cut off in a moan as Sirius slid a searing hand down to cup his ass.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Remus,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius growled against his shoulder, sex practically flooding out of the name, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153god, Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sirius,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 voice took a note of urgency. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stand\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6bed\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\tSirius jerked his head up to peer at Remus and cursed his forgetfulness through the desire that was pounding in his veins. Remus was still exhausted, seeming at this point to be more sprawled on the tile than leaning on it.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153S\u00e2\u20ac\u2122okay,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus assured in short gasps, reading the thoughts as they flashed openly across Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 face. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Want you, just\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6need to lie down.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hold on to me,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius told him, voice still gravelly with need, but hands turned gentle. He slipped a supportive arm around Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 waist as he eased back and reached to turn off the water. He took slow steps back out of the shower, careful of the wet floor and pulling Remus out with him. He paused long enough to pull one of the towels off the rack and slid it around Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 shoulders, rubbing off the excess water. <\/p>\n<p>\tRemus watched Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 face in open adoration while Sirius dried him off, fascinated by the mix of lust and concern he found there, and distracted by thoughts of licking off the droplets that were running down Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 toned arms. Sirius shook his own dripping hair out of his face impatiently, and Remus laughed softly as he remembered being caught in a rainstorm with Padfoot. <\/p>\n<p>Sirius raised an eyebrow at the laugh, then let Remus lean against the sink with the towel still around his shoulders so that he could peel the soaked T-shirt from his skin. Remus huffed another laugh when Sirius tried to remove the shirt slowly for effect and then cursed as the heavy fabric got tangled around his head. Sirius finally emerged from the shirt scowling, but his eyes laughed with Remus. He slid the towel off Remus and used it to rub most of the water out of his own hair before letting it fall to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll clean it up later,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he promised Remus softly as he tugged him towards the bedroom, wandering hands softly promising other things. More immediate things.<\/p>\n<p>\tRemus sank down onto their bed gratefully, and was even more grateful when the heat of Sirius covered him, staving off the chill of the air on his still-damp skin. <\/p>\n<p>\tSirius kissed him slowly and deeply, running his fingers idly through Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 wet hair and exploring him slowly, as though Remus had been gone six months instead of three days. Remus arched into the light touch, exhausted though he was, and felt the pull of muscles that were crying out for sleep.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to be the death of me,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus sighed against Sirius.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Only the little one,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius quirked his mouth in a smile against Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 cheek and pressed into him, heat coursing through him both from the feel of their cocks rubbing together and the soft whine that rose from Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 throat. He slid a hand between them and gripped Remus firmly, and after several strokes the moan Sirius heard could have come from either of them.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sirius,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus gasped. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Take me.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Are you sure?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius breathed, not stopping the rhythmic movement of either his hand or his body.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I can barely keep my eyes open,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus sighed, nuzzling Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 neck so that his slurred words were hard to make out. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We both need to be done before then. And I want you. God, Sirius, I want you.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\tSirius heard the last part loud and clear, and, eyes so bright it was hard to look at them directly, reached over into the bedside table with a practiced motion and pulled out the lubricant that was always there.<\/p>\n<p>\tRemus hissed when the first finger entered him, but the slipperiness quickly warmed and he pushed against the touch greedily. He growled at Sirius, who was clearly taking his time.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Just do it, Sirius,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he ordered. Sirius smiled hotly as he reached down to stroke himself slick and Remus closed his eyes when he felt Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 head press against his opening.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t close your eyes,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius begged softly and Remus acquiesced, staring up at him darkly. Sirius loved the way Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 pale skin was flushed with arousal, and the way his eyes widened when Sirius pushed inside in one fluid motion, his lips parting in an involuntary cry.<\/p>\n<p>\tSirius thrusts were teasingly slow and deliberate at first, but both of them were fully aware that that could not possibly last long. As he sped up, Sirius wrapped a still-slick hand around Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 cock and urged him on in time with his own movements. Remus covered Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 hand with his own and stroked with him, clutching at Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 hip with the other hand.<\/p>\n<p>\tRemus, already strained from stress and exhaustion and at the mercy of Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 onslaught inside and out, came in a matter of several minutes, a harsh cry tearing out of his throat and a violent shudder wracking his body. His vision cleared in time to see Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 jaw clench and his eyes squeeze shut.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t close your eyes,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus echoed Sirius, reaching up with the last of his strength to cup Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 cheek. Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 eyes flew open  and the intensity of his gaze pinned Remus motionless as one last thrust sent Sirius over the edge. Sirius came silently, biting down furiously on his lower lip, the moment seeming to stretch impossibly long. Finally he gasped a breath and collapsed onto Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 chest, arms sliding under Remus to gather him as close as possible while smaller trembles ran their course through both of them.<\/p>\n<p>\tRemus bent his head to seek out Sirius mouth with his own and they kissed again around gasps for air, Remus soothing Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 bruised lower lip with his own. Sirius murmured something affectionate and nonsensical, and Remus hummed in return.<\/p>\n<p>\tSirius pulled away gently and urged Remus up against the pillows so he could draw the blankets out from under them. He pulled Remus with him under the covers, and the werewolf draped himself limply across Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 chest.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Promise,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus yawned.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Promise what?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius asked, rubbing soft circles across Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 back.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153No more piercings.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius sighed, but Remus persisted. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Promise!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I promise,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius answered grudgingly. Thus assured, Remus went out as though Sirius had said \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<i>Nox<\/i>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. <\/p>\n<p>\t*\t\t*\t\t*\t\t*\t\t*\t\t*<\/p>\n<p>\tNext time it was Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 turn to stagger through the door and collapse into welcoming arms. He winced visibly when Remus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 arms tightened around his shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>\tNarrowing his eyes, Remus pulled back the collar of Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 shirt to reveal a gauze square attached by medical tape with spots of blood seeping through. <\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a piercing!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sirius exclaimed self-righteously and Remus glared at him. He peeled the gauze away to find a tattoo of the crescent moon, waxing and waning magically.<\/p>\n<p>Sirius shrugged sheepishly.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oh, <i>Padfoot<\/i>!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Remus exclaimed in loving exasperation. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Honestly!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<div class='wp_likes' id='wp_likes_post-1232'><a class='like' href=\"javascript:wp_likes.like(1232);\" title='Like' ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kira-kira.net\/fanfiction\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-likes\/images\/like.png\" alt='' border='0'\/><\/a><span class='text'><b>2<\/b> people like this post.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='like' ><a href=\"javascript:wp_likes.like(1232);\">Like<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='unlike' ><a href=\"javascript:wp_likes.unlike(1232);\">Unlike<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaving Sirius alone is apparently not good for his health.
