Remus was up early, well earlier than usual. He woke up to freezing cold air after his boyfriend, Sirius had wrapped himself up with the whole blanket while sleeping. He found it impossible to get back to sleep so he just went downstairs to make himself the first cup of coffee of the day.
The two men had recently moved in together and while Sirius found the sleeping situation perfect. Remus on the other hand, did not. They needed a bigger duvet, otherwise Remus was convinced he’d freeze to death.
He absolutely loved the little cottage they chose though, it was so cozy and peaceful. And best of all, he was living with the person he loved most in this world, aside from Lily of course, but Sirius didn’t need to know that.
After finishing the coffee, Remus checked the clock hung on the wall of their small cozy kitchen. It was around 6:30 am.
He decided to bake some bread, probably out of boredom from sitting around waiting for Sirius to wake up. Maybe they could have it for lunch if it came out well enough.
He grabbed out a recipe for the bread his mother used to bake when he was younger. He remembered Hope making a loaf after every full moon to make him feel better as he ate while she patched up his self-inflicted wounds. The werewolf smiled at the memories. His mother always knew how to cheer him up, even if it was just the tiniest bit.
Remus skimmed through the ingredients and started to take out all of the ingredients: flour, oil, salt… ugh they ran out of eggs yesterday. That meant he needed to go to the shop and buy more. He might as well make a list then, no point going now and then again later.
Remus cursed under his breath as he was walking up the stairs. Going shopping for groceries meant human contact and Remus did not want to have human contact this early in the morning. He sometimes didn’t even speak to Sirius until after his second coffee, let alone a stranger.
The lycan slowly creeped into his and Sirius’s shared bedroom and quietly grabbed his clothes for the day out of his drawers. He left the room and went to get dressed in the guest bathroom so as to not wake Sirius. So considerate of him, despite Sirius leaving Remus to freeze last night while taking all the warmth for himself.
After he got dressed and brushed his teeth, he went downstairs to make the list of groceries they needed. Once that was done he went into the hall to put on his shoes and jacket, grab his keys and then leave.
He got to the corner of his street before he realized he forgot his wallet. Great, that meant he had to turn back and get it.
Its too early in the morning for this shit.
Remus thought to himself.
After walking all the way back to his house and to the shop, Remus just wanted to get this over with.
He walked into the small food shop and picked up the items they needed. He paid at the till and noticed that the worker also looked like she too did not want to be there. They had something in common.
He walks home, shopping bags in hand. When Remus walks in the door he notices Sirius is up. He takes off his coat and shoes and walks to the kitchen with the food. Sirius is in the living room eating cereal.
“Hey Remmy!” Sirius says momentarily looking back at his boyfriend “sleep well?”
Remus ignored the last question.
”Hey Siri, I just went out to get us a few things we were running low on”
He puts away all the other food and leaves the eggs on the counter, then once again, takes out the ingredients for the bread.
He needs a large mixing bowl. Remus goes to where it usually is but it isn’t there, he checks the sink, not there, the cabinets, he can’t find the bowl anywhere.
“Hey Sirius?” Remus asks walking into the living room “have you seen the mixing bow-“ he sees the bowl Sirius is eating the cereal out of.
Remus rolls his eyes laughing while Sirius smiles sheepishly.
He guessed the bread would have to wait. Such a waste of Remus’ limited social skills.
The werewolf sits down onto the couch Sirius is sitting on and snuggles into his boyfriend. His boyfriend. He never thought he’d be able to say that Sirius Black was his boyfriend. But now that he can, life couldn’t get any better than it already is.
The two lovers just spent the rest of the morning talking about nothing in particular.
