Summary
Remus is in a café and get's asked out by the devilishly handsome (and rich af) Sirius Black

Pt.1

Remus is sitting at his favourite café, The Monocle Café, when a stranger with wavy black hair, a strong defined jawline and stunning grey eyes that had black eyeliner smudged around them and were glinting in the warm lighting of the café approached him.

The stranger which under further observation was wearing a leather jacket and his hair in a half up half down bun held in place by a pencil said “Hi” his voice smooth and velvety with a defined London accent (a drastic difference from Remus’s thick Welsh accent). “Hi?” Remus replied questioning, “I was wondering if I could ask you some questions.” the stranger looked sheepish at asking this “Yeah, sure. Go ahead.” Remus responded.

“Ok, thanks uhh first question, What is your name?” he asked “My name is Remus Lupin”, “How old are you Remus?” “I just turned 22 last month” Remus responded quietly not wanting to be perceived as ‘old’ by this beautiful man “Oh happy belated birthday.” he quickly said before moving on to his next question “What do you do for work?”. “I own a bookshop in Westminster”, “What’s the name of your bookshop?” he responded not a second later. “Moony’s books” Remus replied slightly ashamedly because the name was so basic. “Why Moony and not Remus? If you don’t mind me asking.” “Moony is my nickname from some close friends and it is something I never want to forget.” Remus replied slightly forgetting to breath. “That’s an awesome nickname!” the man replied “Thanks” Remus said blushing “What’s your favourite genre of book?” “Probably fantasy, or something I can get lost in you know.” Remus said.

“Nice, ok three more questions.” the man said as he pulled out the pencil holding his bun in place. “Ok” Remus said dazed “Do you want to know my name?” Remus hadn’t thought about the fact that the man was yet to tell him his name. “Uhhhhh sure” he replied, eyes still fixated on the man’s hands meticulously redoing the bun. “My name is Sirius” he said moving swiftly onto his next question “What is your idea of your dream date or perfect date?” “Anywhere in the world?” Remus clarified “Anywhere” Sirius replied “Probably, fine dining in Paris at the top of the Eiffel Tower at sunset, followed by heading to a comfortable reading place and talking for hours until the early morning when we finally fall asleep.” “Wow, that sounds amazing. Ok final question.” Remus nods as if urging Sirius to continue.

Sirius breathes and asks, “Will you allow me to take you on your dream date?” “Wait What!?” Remus replies shocked “Can I take-” “No I got that but how are you even going to afford that, I’m not even sure that is possible.” Remus cut in. “Don't worry about money, just answer the question, I'm not going to force you to do anything you don't want to do or aren’t comfortable doing.” Sirius replied with a stern look on his face. “Uhhh, Oh my gods why is this a hard decision to make!” Remus said exasperatedly, Sirius’s face turned to one of concern and not wanting to overstep “I can come back later if you want.” He hurriedly says, “No need uhh yeah sure you can take me on my dream date, what’s the worst that could happen?” Remus replies with a smile on his face which in turn causes Sirius to start smiling too. “Ok let’s do this!” Sirius said handing him his phone so that they could exchange numbers.
