Sirius: Darling?
Mine: Yes, love?
Sirius: so y'know how we are going to the Halloween party together?
Mine: Yeah..
Sirius: well i was thinking, WE SHOULD GET MATCHING COSTUMES
Mine: WAIT STOP, THAT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA.
Sirius: ik right? anyway let's meet at that cute thrift shop and come up with what we wanna go as.
Mine: okay, what time.

Mine: sugar? You're such a fcking sap.
Sirius: not my fault you're so hot. But in all siriusness we should meet at one fifty ish.
Mine: siriusness? Really? But yeah you're right. Two it is, see you then!
Sirius: see you <3
Sirius hadn't been able to stop thinking about there almost kiss and it made him start blushing and smiling like a lunatic every time.
Today he decided to wear his hair down and had eyeliner already smudged under his eye. He wore black jeans with a band tee and a black leather jacket.
It was one twenty by the time he was fully ready, and he had to get going if he wanted to make it on time. So he promptly left his flat, hopped on his motorbike and got going.
He arrived slightly earlier than Remus and waited by the thrift shop door for him. When he caught sight if him, he ran up and gave him a quick yet warm hug.
Remus smiled at him before looking very serious and saying,
"Right Halloween is quite literally tomorrow and we need costumes so I'm thinking that we get ready together at your flat, once we have costumes of course. And I'll drive us there."
Sirius laughed at how serious he was acting at such an un-serious situation, God he loved him, nevertheless he nodded in agreement trying to look just as serious.
They went inside and began to browse and had been browsing for a while when Sirius saw the most beautiful white corset with ruffles at the top, laced with silver glitter. And all of a sudden he knew exactly what they were going to be.
He ran to where Remus was standing, pulling on his sleeve to get his attention.
"Darling?"
"Mhm?" Remus replied looking down at him.
"I know what we should go as."
Remus raised an eyebrow.
"We should go as Emily and Victor, from the Corpse's Bride." Sirius said smiling brightly as admittedly it was his favourite Tim Burton movie.
Remus chuckled, before bowing dramatically and extending his hand out to Sirius.
"Will you be my bride?"
Sirius rolled his eyes but took Remus' hand all the same.
"Of course I would." He said winking.
Now it was Remus' turn to roll his eyes.
They went around the shop looking for the next pieces of their costume, chatting to each other as they did.
Once they had picked out all their bits and bobs they went to the dressing room to try it all on.
Remus went first removing his sweater and shirt to try on the button down he had found.
Sirius gasped despite himself. Remus had scars all over his back going in all different directions like constellations. Remus bowed his head downwards as if embarrassed.
"I know, that they're ugly and it makes me look like a freak. You don't have to tell me."
Sirius frowned. Ugly? Freak? Sirius thought the opposite, it made Remus even more beautiful in his eyes like a reprimanded God forced to be human as punishment.
Sirius wrapped his arms around Remus' waist. Remus' breathing hitching at the contact.
"I always thought you were the most beautiful person I'd ever seen." Sirius said his bare cheek against Remus' back.
Remus turned so now he was facing Sirius.
"Really?" He said sounding genuinely surprised.
"Yeah." Sirius said looking up at him.
Remus wrapped his arms around Sirius and they hugged for a while.
They truly were two kindred spirits. Two halves of one soul.
They let go and continued Remus' part of the try-on. Contented with how everything fit, Remus got back into his own clothes promptly.
Now, it was Sirius' turn. Sirius had never had an issue with clothes they were just clothes after all but as he put on the corset, he felt strange. Not a bad strange, just strange he had never worn anything so feminine before and wasn't sure if he liked it.
"Can I open my eyes now?" Remus asked having shut his eyes out of respect.
"Yeah." Sirius said hesitantly, he wasn't sure how Remus would react. What if he didn't like it and thought Sirius was disgusting? Or worse, what if he made fun of him?
"Wow."
Remus' voice said cutting through his spiralling.
Sirius looked at him. "Do you like it?" He asked worriedly, however if Remus' reaction was anything to go by, he didn't need to be worried at all.
"Love, you look..wow. You look so bloody perfect."
Sirius blushed. He had never heard Remus sound like this.
"So, it's a yes?" Sirius said sheepishly.
"Love, if I could I would have you wear that every day." Remus said a sultry look in his eyes.
"Yeah?" Sirius said biting his bottom lip, grinning.
"Don't do that." Remus said trying to stop the colour in his cheeks.
"Do what darling?" Siruus said placing his hands on Remus' chest looking up at him innocently.
"Piss off." He said jokingly shoving Sirius lightly.
Sirius laughed, he liked making Remus flustered. He liked to have power over him like that.
The rest of the try-on went well and once Sirius was now back in his regular clothes. They paid at the counter and left the store.
The two said goodbye quicker this time because they knew they would be together nearly all day tomorrow so with a quick hug, they parted.
Sirius arrived home and immediately texted James.
Sirius: JAMES

Sirius smiled. James really was a good friend. Was he an idiot at times? Sure. But he really did want all his friends to be happy and although he had a massive ego, he had a heart to match it.
*ping*
Batman: btw, I already pre-planned to have a kissing game so u didn't need to ask me u sappy prat.
Sirius chuckled. Of course he had.
