chapter 3
They both sat in the room, waiting for dinner, mostly talking about random things. Sirius was really good at using the right pronouns and name, Remus felt like he finally fit in and he loved it. He tried not to think about his mum too much, Sirius was good at distracting him, he always has been. When they had been called for dinner, Sirius practically ran to the hall with Remus not far behind. they sped past mcgonagall, not stopping to listen to her lecture about how running around is dangerous or how they are the oldest there and should be setting an example.
they sat at the long, almost empty table with a few younger years scattered across the other 3 tables. Sirius filled his plate with whatever he could reach; he wasnt fussy at all. Remus on the other hand sat putting only a few things on his plate he was what his mum described as difficult. he wasnt sure about trying new foods and would usually stick to things he knew he definitely liked. The others never commented on this though. Remus looked at sirius' mountain of food stacked on his plate
"do you want anymore mate?" Remus joked.
" thats actually really funny, can you see how much im laughing. i like my homemade mountain thank you very much" sirius laughed at his comment and remus laughed at how pathetic he was. Remus sort of picked at his food, he wasnt very hungry and figured he would just eat the chocolate sirius packed later. sirius looked at remus and leaned forward.
"you might not be very hungry but eat more, i have something upstairs i think you will want to share" remus knew exactly what sirius was talking about and raised his eyebrows at sirius, as if to ask if he was lying. sirius just smirked and went back to eating.
once they had finished they went up to sirius' room to go get stuff from his suitcase. Remus sat on his bed, everything looked clean, the walls were newly painted and when you look out the window it has a view of the field and forest that surrounded the school. it was a really nice room, he wished he could stay up there the whole time but sirius insisted that remus' room was better and they wouldnt catch them down there. sirius grabbed a smaller backpack from out his suitcase and threw a hoodie shorts and some boxers in there and threw it over his shoulder. Remus looked at sirius " did you put chocolate in there" sirius smiled and nodded
"yes i did its at the bottom how could i go to your amazing room without chocolate, quick lets go before lights go out in the halls."
They both managed to sneak back to remus' room without passing any teachers, they did see one kid who gave sirius a thumbs up and only got a deathstare from him in reply. sirius threw his bag on the bed and leaned on the wall. Remus walked over to the window and opened it
"well are you gonna get it out or are you just gonna stand there " remus said. Sirius smirked and skipped towards the bed
"wow your an impatient bastard arent you" he joked whilst unzipping the bag. he threw the clothes on the bed and pulled out a small pot and shook it.
"what are the clothes for" remus laughed, he didnt really need clothes, it wasnt like his room was far away at all.
"oh you know just incase i cant walk back up those stairs, you have twenty p?" he replied, unscrewing the cap of the pot
"still havent invested in a grinder i see, check the top drawer probably somewhere in there." remus sat rolling a roach while sirius shook the pot.
Sirius gave the pot to remus and made him roll while looked for the lighter at the bottom of the bag.
they moved over by the window and both sat with their legs dangling out before lighting the blunt . remus held it in his mouth and sirius held the flame on it for a couple of seconds before remus took two long drags and passed it to sirius. " hey be careful with that dont fall out the window, i know how much of a lightweight you are moony" he took another toke before remus hit his arm. once they got halfway through it they had already started feeling it, remus more.
"fucking hell did you put any bacci in this"
" what no was i meant to? you didnt give me any i assumed-" sirius burst out laughing at his panic.
"im not complaining i just wasnt expecting it"
" oh right." remus took another toke before sirius put it out and placed the last half on the windowsill. Remus got up and took sirius' hand
"we should dance, celebrate. because its fun and we are having fun and i came out and thats good. dance with me" sirius laughed at remus stumbling around
"okay shall i sing for us" sirius began singing a really out of tune version of starman. Remus laughed at his attempt at singing. They both danced for a couple of minutes, giggling. Remus sat on the floor, fanning his face and sirius sat next to him.
"its like really hot isnt it" remus stated
" if its hot then take this off" he started lifting up the top that Remus was wearing. His hands slid up Remus' side and over his shoulder. Remus blushed and his stomach fluttered, he had sirius near him all the time but now it felt different. Sirius placed the shirt on the floor next to them, leaving remus in only a sports bra and joggers.
" so like what happens with them after the doctors take them because i read a fanfiction where his boyfriend ate them"
"what fucking fanfictions are you reading jesus christ"
"hey you cant judge me.. so are you gonna cut your hair and stuff eventually because you would look really good"
"my mum would kill me, but she wouldnt know till next summer so we should do it"
"now? do you- your hair now? im not very in with it im not sure its a good idea"
"no no ill light us fags and we will do it its fine you arent scared are you? you could never do something wrong" sirius stood up and stumbled towards the bathroom, following remus. Remus was excited to look like he wanted and even more excited that is was Sirius who was helping him. he pulled out a pair of kitchen scissors and threw them at sirius.
"you fucking idiot are you trying to kill me" sirius exclaimed. remus walked up to him and hugged him.
"im so sorry stay here a second im gonna go get something" Remus ran out of the bathroom and into his suitcase, throwing clothes around the floor then pulled out a water bottle. he walked back into the bathroom and showed sirius.
"water? well my mouth is dry, give me some" before remus could refuse sirius already had the bottle and was about to take a sip. as soon as it hit his tounge he spat it out all over the floor.
"straight fucking vodka and you let me think it was water you dickhead" remus was crying with laughter,
"you didnt give me a chance" he said through deep breaths " but now you know" remus sat in the bath and passed sirius the shower head and turned it on. Sirius started spraying water over the bathroom attempting to wet remus' hair. Remus' clothes were dripping at this point and sirius had managed to somehow get his t shirt covered in water. once they finally managed to get his hair wet enough, sirius started cutting.
he started by cutting up to his shoulders then around his face and made by his neck shorter than the rest. it ended up looking suprisingly okay, it was juts about even and an average length. it looked choppy but Remus was happy, it didnt look half as bad as he had expected. he dried his hair slightly with a towel and he felt free. he felt more like himself than ever, he didnt care about what his mum would say, or if he would regret it in the morning.
remus made sirius get him some clothes from the bedroom after getting him soaked. he wandered back with the hoodie boxers he packed in the bag earlier.
"sirius theyre yours can you see"
"what no i can see. i just got them i dont want to go again i dont care put them on or you can stay in the wet clothes" he complained
remus got out the wet clothes and put sirius' ones on. he walked into the bedroom to see sirius already half asleep, he switched the light of and fell on the bed. Sirius put the cover over them both and remus felt his face go red. after a couple of minutes they had both fallen asleep.
