“Remus Remus Remus Remus, Moony Moony Moony-“
“Fine, yes we can go on a bloody walk you impatient mutt” Remus sighed, though it came out more fond than annoyed as he closed his work parchment and turned to where Sirius had already turned into Padfoot. Smiling to himself, Remus shuffled over to the kitchen for the leash, because they were in muggle London and apparently muggles get concerned when dogs are free to roam as they like, and he clipped it on.
As soon at it was secure Padfoot ran to the door, pulling Remus with him and he stubbled as he tried to keep up.
“Pads- wait up” even as a dog Remus could still see the smirk on the idiots face and be rolled his eyes at it. They trotted along the calm streets of the houses in the town they lived in, the late evening air surprisingly relaxing. Padfoot barked happily a few times, stopping to look or smell interesting things. The path that led to the little off leash grassed dog park came into view and Padfoot’s ears perked up and soon Remus was being dragged towards it. You’d think having a dog that was just a human in animagus form would mean a well behaved dog but no. Remus was stuck with his idiot boyfriend who loves to make his life harder than it had to be.
A few people were situated around the park as Remus undid Padfoot’s leash and let him run free. He ran straight for some of the other dogs before abruptly halting and turning around to make sure Remus was following. With a fond laugh he waved his hand at the black dog and continued into the park. Padfoot barked back and then turned to start Immediately playing with a small looking beagle who was near two blokes. Well if Sirius was going to socialise then so was he, Remus thought as he determinedly walked over to the guys.
One was a several few inches taller than the other, much like Remus and Sirius themselves, and he had gorgeous blond hair and his pale face had a small fond smile as he looked at the other man. The shorter one had smooth dark skin and a mess of brown curls sitting on top of his head and a wide grin on his face as he animatedly talked to BlondeBoy.
As he got closer, Remus, to his delight, saw their beagle run over to him, disengaging from his game with Padfoot who now appeared to be sulking?? That is until shorter man bent down and started scratching him behind the ears at the same time that Remus dropped to his knees to pat the beagle. Raising his head to look at blonde guy he spoke,
“Is this you dog? He’s so cute! What’s his name?” The other man smiled at him,
“David.” And at his bewildered look Remus heard Blondeboys friend snort. Standing up Remus chuckled,
“See I would judge you for using a human name for a dog but mine over there is called Padfoot.” He dead paned the last bit earning a wine from said dog and a laugh from the two men. “I’m Remus by the way, what’s your name and do you have an excuse for the name David for a beagle.” He watched as the two men exchanged weird looks (read: they’re like how tf does he not know who we are, but little do they know he’s a wizzard-werewolf who doesn’t follow muggle politics) and he thought dejectedly that he must be doing something weird but then they smiled and both turned back to him. “I’m Henry, and the man patting your dog down there is my boyfriend Alex.” Remus lit up at this, always finding comfort in queer couples who weren’t afraid to be out.
“And for the record I fully fucking agree that the name David is stupid for a beagle” Alex chimed in, playfully glaring at Henry.
“Yeah well I named him after David Bowie okay! So you can’t say the name is bad or you’re insulting one of the best musicians ever.” To an outsider it would have been hilarious to watch as both him and Padfoot’s heads perked up at the name of the singer.
“You like Bowie? Actually wait why didn’t you just named him Bowie?” Remus asks and Henry just shrugs as if he’s had this conversation way too many times.
“Bit on the nose, aye?”
They laugh and chat as their dogs run around and Remus is having such a nice time. He’s also flattered when randomly Alex says,
“Has anyone told you that you look like Andrew Garfield?”
It’s nice, they’re just regular muggle people, with their regular lives and he doesn’t have to worry about any of his fears and it would be nice to have other friends. So that’s why he finds himself delighted when they ask if he wanted to come round to theirs sometime for tea or games night or anything.
“That would be lovely, can I bring my boyfriend?” Remus has to suppress the urge to glance over at Padfoot.
“It’ll be a double date!” Alex grins wildly. The sun is setting now so they wave goodbye to each other, after swapping number (oh how Remus is glad his mother made him buy an iPhone) and head home.
Once safely back in their flat Sirius transforms back into his human form and throws himself at Remus, who stumbles a little from the impact.
“Moonyyyy you made friends!! Look at you growing up and socialising” he practically coos and Remus scowls at this, pushing him off him and ignoring the wide smirk on his boyfriends face.
“Shut up Pads, I socialise all the time! I have friends!”
“Of course you do Remus, but it’s nice to see u happy and making more friends” Sirius voice is softer this time and Remus walks back over and wraps his arms around him. He buries his face in Sirius’ long black hair.
“Can’t wait to meet them as a human this time.”
Before Remus can form a response the muggle tv they have in the flat catches his attention. The sound is turned off but the words “Trouble in paradise? Prince Henry seen talking to mysterious hot man at local dog park, is this the start of another scandal for our Prince and First son?” mockingly glare at him from the screen.
“WHAT THE FUCK-“
Him and Sirius topple to the floor as Remus reaches to text Henry
