Kiss My Shades

Sirius is laying on his bed watching Mamma Mia the musical on his phone. (It’s his guilty pleasure, being a theater kid and loving ABBA, this musical is basically his life source.)

He’s been in Spain for 9 days now, everyday meeting up with one of his new friends. He’s already gone swimming with James, went out with Mary many times, Marlene and Lily, and he played a lot of chess with Peter (Sirius lost every game they played). The only one he hasn’t really seen much is Remus. Of course Sirius asked, but he was almost always busy. 

*ping* 

Sirius pauses the movie and clicks on the notification.

Macdonald: < Hey, little man 

Sirius has just accepted the nickname, he discovered that once Mary has something in her mind, she is not stepping down from it.

notsoSirius: < What’s up Maryy 

Macdonald: < Wanna hang out?

notsoSirius: < Sure, what do you wanna do?

Macdonald: < Do you like shopping? 

notsoSirius: < No not really

Macdonald: < You do now. I’ll meet you at the                                                             

                     football station of Milan in 15 min xx  

Sirius chuckles and walks out the house. Their house is very close to a taxi place so he’ll just take a cab.

“Hola, where do you need to go?” The cab driver asks.

“Football station of Milan, por favor.”

After a good 10 minutes Sirius arrives. 

notsoSirius: < Where are you?

Macdonald: < Still in the cab

                   < You really have zero patience, it’s almost hilarious

notsoSirius: < Just say you love me already 😘

Macdonald: < 🖕🏼

notsoSirius: < 🥰

A taxi stops right before him and Mary steps out. 

“Hey! Are you ready to go shopping?” She asks. Mary starts walking and Sirius follows. 

“Yes! But why shopping though?” 

Mary gives him a massive side eye. “Because you wear clothes that make you look like a rich prick.” 

Sirius' mouth falls open, “Excuse you?”

“Your parents buy your clothes, am I right?”

“Well, yeah but I don’t really have much choice-“

“I’m giving you a choice. You’re obviously loaded with money, so go try on everything you want and change your style. If you want to be someone new, Milan is the city, babe.” 

Sirius has to agree with Mary, his clothes are fucking boring and just not made for him. So, Sirius and Mary start their mission.

They go in and out of shops for a good 5 hours. In the end Sirius has a whole new aesthetic. He bought t-shirts from bands he likes, he got many rings, he got black clothes (Reg would call him emo, but Regulus doesn’t really have the right to call him that when he himself is the king of depression), but also a few more feminine clothes. Mary told him that with his new baggy black jeans and his pink ‘I don’t only serve cunt, I eat them too.’ crop top makeup would fit perfectly. So she got him eyeliner, glitter eyeshadow, a dark red tinted lip balm, and lipgloss. 

As they are talking about Mamma Mia (Mary loves the musical too, so of course Sirius has to yap about it with her now), Mary her stomach makes a sound that indicates she is hungry.

“Wanna go eat something?” Sirius asks her.

“Yeah alright, Remus works here somewhere so I’ll call him to ask where the place is.”

“Does Remus have a summer job?” 

“Yeah, it’s something with food he mentioned to me once, but I forgot where it is.”

“So that’s why he didn’t wanna hang out more with me?!” Everything fits in his head now. If he’s honest he was starting to think Remus just didn’t want anything to do with him anymore.

Mary puts the phone on speaker, “Hey Remus!”

“Hi Mary, are you okay?” 

“No, I’m dying from starvation. Please tell me where you work, you said it’s something with food, right?” 

“I’m not telling you where I work. It’s embarrassing, I just need some money. There are a billion restaurants around me, just go there.”

Sirius grabs Mary her phone, “But I wanna see you Moony. We haven’t seen each other since game night. And the work trip from my parents doesn’t go on forever you know.”

“Go eat in a Mcdonalds.” And Remus just hangs up.

Sirius immediately grabs his phone and opens the groupchat of the boys.

Marauders:

notsoSirius: < Does anyone know where Remus works??

Moonyy: < PETER JAMES DONT YOU DARE

Jamesyy: < Terra Gelato!

Petey boy: < Terra Gelato!!

Moonyy: < You fuckers.

notsoSirius: < Thankss!!!!

He tells Mary what the place is called so she can lead the way. They arrive at an ice cream shop, where they see Remus is serving ice cream to little kids in a ridiculous uniform. 

There isn’t a long line to wait in, so they are fairly quick to him. When Remus sees Sirius and Mary, he signs deeply. 

“Also hello to you!” Mary says jokingly.

“I’ll take my 15 minute break now then, what do you guys want on your ice cream?”

Mary orders 1 scoop of strawberry and 1 of cherry. 

“And you, Sirius?” Remus asks. He has given up on the fake annoying act by now.

“What’s your favorite?”

“It’s literally your ice cream.”

“Yeah but you seem like you have good taste. So, what’s your favorite ice cream flavor?”

“...Mars.”

“2 scoops of mars for me then.” 

Remus rolls his eyes but he smiles while doing it. “Here you go, just sit over there and I’ll be with you in 2 minutes.”

Sirius looks confused at him, “But we haven’t paid yet?”

“That’s alright, it’s on the house.”

“Remus, no wait I’ll pay-” Sirius tries to say.

“Really it’s okay,” Remus says in a tone that makes him shut his mouth immediately. Remus walks into the back of the shop and says something to the other people working there.

Mary and Sirius go sit by a table and chat until Remus plofs down next to them with his own ice cream, the same as Sirius’.

“You like it?” He asks Sirius.

“Love it, it’s really good.”

“What are you guys doing here anyways?”

So Mary explains the whole aesthetic crisis that she felt like needed to be fixed, and how they spend the whole day trying to find the right things for Sirius, and how much fun it was.

Remus laughs, “Of course you offered to pay, apparently you’re a fucking billionair.” 

“Uhm correction, my parents are billionairs, I’m just their annoying son they can’t get rid of.”

This sends them into a fit of laughter, and Sirius catches a very tiny glimpse of a silver ball on Remus’ mouth.

“Did you get a piercing?” Sirius asks curiously. He grabs Remus’ chin trying to see. 

Mary responds, “Yeah, Remus and Marlene got it done a few days ago.” 

Remus holds his cool and acts unbothered by the touch, “Wanna see?”

“Yes,” Sirius says, sounding desperate. 

Remus smirks, and sticks his tongue out. 

Sirius dies.

The silver tongue piercing is laying in Remus’ mouth in the most perfect way. It shines in the bright sun, and it moves around elegantly when Remus runs his tongue over his upper teeth.

Kiss it. Lick it. Bite it. Taste it. 

Sirius blinks his thoughts away and blushes from head to toe. 

He was just flirting with Remus for fun, not really thinking about anything else. He has eyes, he sees that Remus is fucking attractive. But this is the first time that Sirius is attracted to Remus. 

Oh.

Sirius likes Remus.

Fuck.

Sirius accidentally drops his ice cream to the ground, and his other hand flinches back from where he was holding Remus’ face. He stands up and starts walking to somewhere, anywhere that isn’t where Remus is.

“Sirius? Where are you going?!” He hears Mary yell at him. 

He just steps into the first taxi he sees and stares at the last conversation Remus and him had online.

Moonyyy: < I’ll see you when I’m free. 

notsoSirius: < You sure Moony? You said that last time. If you just don’t want to anymore 

                      that’s fine

Moonyyy: < I wanna see you, fy seren.

notsoSirius: < Fy seren?

Moonyyy: < My star in Welsh. Yk, since I’m the moon then you're a star, it’s only fair.

notsoSirius: < I like that <33

Looking back, Sirius stomach does a flip. Yeah, he likes it a lot. Too much actually. Fuck, he is gonna be gone in a few weeks, back in France, and now he has fallen for his new friend. The friend in Spain.

 Great.

He turns his phone off and just closes his eyes, why do actions have consequences?
