memories

Sirius was again drawing Remus,as he had been doing for the last 2 weeks.There was nothing else he could do.They had gone home on the morning of the day they went on the picnic.Although he searched all parts of the house, he did not find anything connected to Remus. His belief that he would find the remus was slowly waning.

He had returned to his house the day after they searched his house.Maybe Remus would come to his house. Regulus was staying with him.He would do all kinds of babysitting,at least Sirius would be more comfortable when he did it in his house. He was startled by the hand touching his shoulder as he put his memories of Remus on paper,again listening to the music on his headphones.When he looked up,he saw Regulus.He lowered the headphones and said, "Yes?"Regulus was looking at the drawing in front of him."Are you drawing him again?" Sirius shook his head. One wall of his room was completely filled with paintings of Remus.While eating together, walking hand in hand, lying in bed, reading a book together, Remus stroking Sirius' hair...... Sirius was trying to draw all his memories.He wanted to have something tangible about Remus.It wouldn't have taken him to Remus, but at least it made him feel better.

"Are you in the bookstore?" Regulus asked.In the drawing, two young men stood in front of a shelf full of books. They were both reaching for the same book, their fingers touching. Sirius returned to the drawing and shook his head again." We met at the bookstore.I went to buy the latest illustrated version of Pride and Prejudice. He was there, too. Our hands touched when we reached to the book. He had come to buy the same book. But there was only one copy of the book, and he said I had to buy it and left. So I went after him and got his number.Then.....You know what's next."

As Regulus looked at Sirius without saying anything, Sirius saw something in his brother's eyes that he couldn't understand.Whenever he mentioned Remus, he would give the same look. He might have thought Sirius was mad.After all, going mad was a common thing in their family. It didn't seem impossible that he would end up like Bellatrix.Regulus seemed to be both worried about Sirius and afraid of him.

Regulus turned his head to the bookshelf as he bit his lip. After a bit of review, he said,"This book seems to be important to you two.Have you looked in the books?I mean..I don't know...Maybe there are things like notes." Sirius' eyes widened with excitement and he immediately jumped to his feet.

"I don't believe it, how could this not have occurred to me before?"He ran to the bookshelf and grabbed two books and sat down on his bed. He was filled with hope.One was a normal book and the other was illustrated. He began to flip through its pages. Regulus sat next to him and examined the other book.When he finished his examination,there was no clue from the book in Sirius' hand.As the excitement within him faded, he prayed that Regulus would find something from the book in his hand. By the time Regulus turned the last page and closed the book, Sirius knew. His eyes met those of Regulus. Regulus pressed his lips together and shook his head. Sirius let out a deep breath and his shoulders slumped. He put the book next to him. He took his head in his hands and leaned forward. Hot tears ran down his cheeks. Before long,his sobs filled the room. He felt arms hugging his shoulders. Regulus was pulling his body towards himself. Sirius placed his head on Regulus' chest and held on to his arms. Regulus' hands were gently running through his hair." It's okay."

"He's real. Regulus, I swear he's real."

"I know. I know he is real. And I know you'll find him very soon." Sirius looked into Regulus' grey eyes. He was still holding his arms tightly."Thank you. You don't know how much it takes for someone to believe in me right now."

Regulus smiled brightly. He gently wiped Sirius' wet cheeks with his thumb."Sirius.. You are my favorite person in this world. There is no one I care about more than you.Of course, I don't think you're crazy." His eyes fell to the ground and he chuckled to himself." Ermm... I know there are a lot of crazy people in our family, but you are definitely not one of them. Don't even hear it from me, but you might be the smartest person in the Black family." Sirius burst out laughing through tears." I think you're smarter than me. At least at 10 years old, you didn't set fire to your mother's clothes." Regulus laughed out loud." Oh my God, I had forgotten that.You're right."Sirius placed a big kiss on his cheek before putting his arms around Regulus' neck and said, "I love you so much." Regulus put his arms around Sirius' waist." And I love you so much."

"FAMILY HUG!!!"

Before they knew what was happening, a body collapsed on top of them. Sirius screamed."JAMES!" Of course, that was James.The three bodies were lying entwined with each other, while the two brothers were trying to push James off of them." WHAT THE HELL?!" Regulus shouted.

James got up from above them and started looking at them with the biggest grin.Regulus turned to Sirius as he tried to fix his messy hair." It was a mistake to give him the keys to our houses." Sirius nodded his head. James looked at them with both hands on his hips. As it was, it was frighteningly reminiscent of Effie." I want to believe you're joking since you're my two closest friends, but lately you've started sayingmit so much.It's imminent that you're going to break my heart." Sirius grabbed the pillow closest to him and threw it at James' head. James threw the same pillow back at him.

When the pillow fight was over, all three lay on the bed, panting.Sirius knew that he was the luckiest person in the world to have Regulus and James, no matter how stupid they were.It was impossible for him to find any other people in the world who would love and understand him so much. He prayed that both of them would stay with him forever. He drifted away from his thoughts as James threw his arm over him. He had his cheek on Sirius' shoulder."I came to get you out, but before I could tell you, you attacked me."

"Where are we going?" Regulus asked,from the other side of Sirius. "There's a café I've been to a few times. Their coffee is very good and they make the best cupcakes in the world, so we go there. Your right to appeal has been taken away."

"I don't understand where it is?" Sirius asked. James answered."I couldn't go with you at all. It was opened shortly before your...you know." He lifted his head from Sirius' shoulder." I've been telling you all the time. Remember?"

Sirius stared at the ceiling. A memory of James talking about a café formed in his mind. Suddenly, he found himself on the street and saw the entrance to the café. When this image went before his eyes and the ceiling came back to the ceiling, there was a feeling he could not describe. He felt like he had to go to that café, but he couldn't explain why. He pushed James over him and jumped to his feet." Let's go!"He immediately ran to his closet and started rummaging through his clothes.James straightened up on his elbows.He looked at him in surprise, "Wow.I didn't think you would accept it so easily."Sirius spoke without taking his head out of the clothes."Leave my room and let me put my clothes on.C'mon!"

Regulus stood up and dragged James by the arm out of the room." We'd better leave without changing his mind." After much research,he decided to wear his denim shorts and suspenders. It was the middle of June, and the weather was not conducive to wearing pants at all. After doing his hair and putting on makeup,he was ready to go out.

-

When James parked his car in front of the café, Sirius got out of the car. He looked around the café. It's the same feeling again. An image came before his eyes. He was standing in the exact same place, looking at the café. Sirius had definitely been here before, and this place had something to do with Remus. He flinched when someone touched his arm. Regulus was looking at him with worried eyes." Are you okay?"

Sirius shook his head." I'm fine, don't worry. I was just looking at the café." He must have frozen. He freed his arm from Regulus and walked towards the café without looking at James.He knew he would meet with the same look in his eyes. Once inside the café, they settled down at a table by the window and waited for the waitress, talking without mentioning Sirius being in a trance next to the car.The young girl took their orders and left. James had ordered three of the coffee and cupcakes he kept talking about. Meanwhile, Sirius was certainly not interested in what was being discussed at the table. He had his eyes fixed on James's car. Why did he keep remembering that he was always looking at the café from outside?

The reality of the moment caused incomprehensible sensations in his stomach. What could this place have to do with Remus? Maybe it was a place they kept coming to together. When the waitress who took the orders came back to their table, he took his eyes off the car.They definitely knew something was wrong. He could feel that both of their eyes were on him. He smiled after taking a sip of his coffee." Their coffee is really as good as you say." James smiled at him in return. He seemed to have gotten the message.

Basically,Sirius was saying don't ask any question.

Sirius took a sip of his coffee again and began talking to the people at the table. That's why he didn't see the boy coming in from the café.He sat back as he took the last sip of his coffee. Their conversation had gotten Remus out of his mind.

He turned his head towards the tables inside the café as he laughed at a joke James made. His smile turned on his face.For a moment, he could even swear that his heart had stopped. His head began to spin. His breathing became irregular. His body was also at a loss as to what to do with the shock.Finally.The person he had been trying to reach for days was just a few tables away, placing the cookies on the table on the tray in his hand.Sirius stood up so fast that his chair toppled backwards.With trembling legs,ran to Remus.Everything happened so fast that Remus didn't even have a chance to look at Sirius. Sirius quickly closed the distance between them and jumped on his neck. Remus almost flew back.

He held onto Sirius' waist and barely kept his balance." WHAT THE FU-"He stopped the swearing that would have escaped his mouth at the last moment. Sirius screamed." REMUS!" Suddenly, he was pulled back with great force. James had separated him from Remus. As their bodies separated, Remus took a step back and shouted, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Sirius couldn't understand why Remus was acting like that.Shouldn't he have been happy to finally see Sirius? James tightened the grip on his arm."Sirius, come here-"He reached out to Remus again without letting him finish his sentence, but he couldn't break free from James' grip or hug Remus again.

"Remus,I can't believe I finally found you. Why-"

Remus spoke with anger mixed with shock." Wait...What-How do you know my name? Who are you?"

Sirius stopped fluttering." What do you mean, who are you, Remus? I'm your boyfriend." At the same time, Regulus had come and was pulling Sirius by his other arm." Sirius! Stop it." Turned to Remus." We're so sorry. We're leaving." His face was red with embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Remus' eyes were enlarged with every new thing he heard." Boyfriend?" He couldn't speak for a few seconds. When he started talking again, it looked like he was going to attack Sirius."Are you kidding me? I've never seen you in my life?"He looked at behind Sirius."Please take your friend away immediately."

With a big apologetic expression on his face, he turned to the customers he had just served. Along with them, all the other customers and waiters in the café were watching the chaos in front of them with great interest. Sirius must have caught people's attention as he knocked over the chair and ran at someone screaming.

"I'm..I'm so sorry. I swear this is the first time I've seen this guy. Sorry for the inconvenience." Sirius was unable to move. What did he mean he didn't know Sirius?With a sudden force he broke free from the hands of Regulus and James, and clung to the hands of Remus.He pulled him to himself.

"I'M YOUR BOYFRIEND, REMUS. WHY DO YOU SAY YOU DON'T KNOW ME? I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU SINCE I GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL-" Remus pushed Sirius hard by the chest. Sirius staggered backwards. And if he hadn't been held by James,he probably would have landed on his ass." Is your intention to get me fired?"He looked at Regulus and James nervously." Before your friend gets me fired, please take him with you."

James grabbed Sirius by the arm and pulled her." We're so sorry. We'll leave without any more inconvenience—"

"Remus! What's happening here?"Remus' eyes widened in fear. He turned around. A tall man with white hair and a beard stood one step behind Remus.His face was tense. Remus,with a red face,started talking.

"Dumbledore.I swear I've never seen this man in my life. He jumped on me all of a sudden." Remus looked like he was going to cry. He was on the edge of losing his job because of Sirius.The woman sitting at the table said, "Yes, this waiter boy was serving us our cookies, and before he knew what was happening,that man ran over and started screaming.The boy is not guilty of anything."

Dumbledore listened to the woman and then turned his head to the trio." As I understand it, your friend has some mental problems. Please leave this place without further disturbance to the customers in my café. Otherwise, I'm going to have to call the police."

Regulus and James were about to faint from embarrassment." No, no.We're really going. We are very sorry. My brother has been a little confused lately. Please don't blame your employee.James pay the bill. We're leaving."

Then, as James ran to the cash, Regulus began to drag Sirius. Sirius couldn't find the strength to speak.He  wanted to run to Remus.He wanted to get between his arms and feel that warmth again, but instead he let Regulus tug at her.Regulus' voice was blurry in his brain." Walk!" Sirius knew they were walking out of the café by the wind blowing against his face.

Regulus stopped when they came to the side of the car, but he didn't stop holding Sirius. In fact, he was holding it so tightly that Sirius was sure that the area would be bruised later. Even if Regulus didn't, though, Sirius wouldn't be able to run back in.and if Regulus wasn't holding him right now, he'd already fallen to the ground. His whole body was shaking. He could see the surroundings blurred. He could hear Regulus saying somethings nervously, but he couldn't understand the words. When James arrived, he opened the car doors and Sirius was pushed into the car.
