Loving him is golden (like daylight)
Summary
Sirius is a college student with friends he adores, and a life he loves. He is figuring out how to reconnect with his estranged brother when he messages a wrong number. Sirius believes in signs, and this is one of those signs. He knows this person is important some how... they just can't figure out how.Remus is a college student trying to overcome the shit life has thrown at him. He is guarded, sarcastic, and struggles to connect with anyone but his closest friends. However when a wrong number texts him, he can't deny that he feels connected to them somehow. An invisible string is pulling them together and Remus thinks, just this once, he may give in and let life give him something good.
Note
I wont lie, this fic doesnt have much in the way of overall plot, its a fun/fluffy fic that I never thought I would even post :/ The focus is on the characters, their connections, and emotions, including the marauders (and girls) friendship and how important it is to all of them!!!! (plus just some general chaotic friend group vibes because we can always use more happiness in this fandom)Updates are random because my writing motivation is also random :)I’m aware the start is a bit clunky, but if u want to, try and stick with it, it gets better :) I like to think i’ve improved as a writer since starting this, so I may rewrite things in the future xTiktok is same username if you want videos when I haven’t updated for a while xx I would also like to state I DO NOT condone JKR’s transphobia and homophobia (or racism) in any shape or form!!!!!

*calling Padfoot*

“Hey Moony”

“Hi Padfoot, how are you feeling?”

“Well keep talking moon man and we will see.”

“Ok well I could rant about sensible things, like gender equality, capitalism, homophobia, racism…… butttt instead I'm just going to rant about Percy Jackson.”

“Ughhhh I love Percy Jackson.”
“Percy was one of my first crushes but also him and Annabeth will forever be endgame.”

“Ugh thank youuuu, I love percabeth more than my life.”
“Well I was really just going to rant about that and try and convince you to love them too so now I'm kind of stuck?”
“I could tell you about my day but it wasn’t all that eventful.”

*laughing lightly*
“I don’t mind what you talk about, honestly your voice is so calming. Talking about anything at all is helping.”
“Who knew Welsh accents could make you so sleepy.”

“Well you have had an emotionally and physically exhausting day.”
“I could be like one of those sleep podcasts!!”
*in a deep relaxing voice*
“Now feel all your strands of hair individually.”

*laughing*
“Those things never work for me!!! I always just end up laughing at their voice or something”
“I want to go to sleep, but I have too many thoughts.”

“I understand completely.”
“Now lie back, relax and listen to me talk about my very uneventful day.”
“Depending on how I'm feeling, if you interrupt me I will either let you away with it.”
“Orrrrr just shout at you, like you did to me!”

“I'm sorryyyy Moony but the story was getting so good and you kept asking questionnssss.”

“Excuse me! You’re interrupting me already!”

“But Moonyyy my interruptions are always valid, unlike yours that ruined my storytelling!!?”

“Padfoot, I swear to god!”

*fake disgust*
“Excuse Me!! ”

“Huh?”

“Taylor equals God, sooooooooo”

“Ughhhh I swear to TAYLOR, I haven't even started my story yet and you're already interrupted so many times!”
“You need to sleep so lie down, close your eyes, close your mouth and listen to my incessant waffle!!”

“Moony you have to be nice to me!!! I’m so sad.”

“I’ve already used that one on Lily today, try something better!”

“Stop being so mean to me or I swear to God I'm going to fall in love with you!”

“New girl!!”
“You have good taste”

*feigning modesty*
“Of course I do, I’m perfect in every way”

“Except the fact that you have to constantly interrupt me?!”

“I regret nothing!! Interrupting you to quote Nick is a very valid reason!
“Besides Nick is the best character in New Girl except Winston! You know what Nick actually gives me Moony vibes, like pessimistic and hates everything!”

“Well aren’t you just full of compliments?”

“Well I’m kind of a Jess kinnie which makes us soulmates!”

“You are never going to make me believe in your soulmate agenda!”

*dramatic gasp*
“Moony, how could you!!”

“Mhmmm I said what I said!”

*pouting*
“You’re mean.”

“Yes I am.”

“But you have to be nice to me today!!”

“I was being nice but you kept interrupting me!!”

“Ok well you can be nice now!!”

“Hmmmmmm, maybe”

“But Moonyyyy I'm so saddd because my mummy didn’t love meeeee.”

“Ugh fine being nice again.”
“Damn, how did that work?!”

*nonchalant*
“I don’t know, I'm just magical like that.”

*laughter*
“Ok, sure.”
“Now are you ready to listen to my inane chatter??

“Yes I'm all tucked into bed EFFIE!”
“Eyes closed, mouth closed or whatever you said”

“Oh no this is my mum Hope ALL they way!”
*laughing*
“That’s nothing close to what I said but sure.”

“Well may Hope continue to possess you as you tell me a bedtime story.”

*clearing throat dramatically*
“Well my day started off with Minnie waking me up by stretching right beside my head like she usually does.”
“Then I had breakfast, toast, and listened to some Hamilton.”

“Moony’s a theatre kid!!!”

“Yep and what are you going to do about it?”
“I know all the words to a two and a half hour long rap musical, I win the punk rockness today Padfoot.”

“Fine, fine, I concede.”
“You may continue.”

“Thank you.”
“Then I did some homework, we’re studying the American Revolution at the moment.”

“Ahhhh, hence the Hamilton.”

“Ohhhh you learn fast.”
“Then I had lunch, Gigi Hadid pasta because I'm just always in the mood for it, who let it be THAT gooodddd!!”
“Also it’s easy to make when I’m tired.”
“Sorry, I'm not going to go on a rant about pasta.”
“Then I walked to therapy because Poppy, who is my therapist, said I have to.”
“Something about walking and fresh air and endorphins, I don't know.”
“But it was tirinngggg”

“But did it work ?”

“………”
“What happened to sleep?”
“And silence.”

*sleepy laughter*

“Well while I was in the waiting room I texted Lily and guilted her into getting ingredients to bake the aesthetic lemon drizzle cake.”
“Then I did therapy.”
“Did therapy?”
“Is that the right way to say it?”
“I'm not sure.”
“And after that I walked home and Lils and I made the cake.”
“And then I watched some Grey’s Anatomy.”
“Andddd now I'm talking to you.”
“So not a very eventful day.”
“But yes, there you go.”

“………..”

“Padfoot?”
“Are You awake?”

“………..”

“Ok, I'm going to hang up now if you're ready.”

*whispering*
“Moony, wait, don't go.”

“I'm not going anywhere, don’t worry.”
“Are you ok?”

“Yes just ……”
“Please don’t go.”

“I'm not going anywhere, Pads.”

“Thank you Moony.”

“Anytime Padfoot, really.”

“………….”

*light snoring*

 

(next morning, 7:56)

 

*Sirius waking up*

*Remus’ deep even breathing*

*Sirius chuckling quietly*

“Moony didn’t hang up.”

*realization*
“Fuck, Moony didn’t hang up.”
*talking to himself*

“It’s normal to get butterflies when someone doesn't hang up, right?”

*door opening*

“Padfoot you ok?”

“Yes, I'm fine, thanks James.”

“Ok well Reggie is going to be here in half an hour so get up.”

“Ok, thanks Prongs.”

“……….”

*confusion*
“Was there something else James?”

“Why does your face look like that?”

“Look like what?”

“I don’t know! I know all your facial expressions but I’ve never seen this one before!”

“Oh that.”

“Yes that.”
“Want to talk about it?”

*Sirius showing James the ongoing call on his phone*

“He didn't hang up huh ?"

*deep sigh*

“No James, he didn’t.”

“Need a hug ?”

“Yes please”
“I should probably hang up, don’t want to wake him up.“

“Probably.”

*Call ended 12hrs 23mins*

Moony: why a road trip ???

Padfoot: Andy is stuck on bed rest cause

Padfoot: Little Nymphadora will be keeping us all on our toes

Moony: and your bets are on……. Nymphadora??

Padfoot: yes well James has his bets on Alsephina, so which is really worse ???

Moony: there are so many nicer star names to choose though ???
Moony: you already hate this child and it hasn't even come out of the womb yet

Padfoot: oh dear moonshine what a name snob you are

Moony: no I was just cursed with a rather…… interesting name
Moony: and I wouldn’t wish that upon any innocent child

Padfoot: this child is the spawn of Andromeda and Ted, it is not innocent
Padfoot: I don’t doubt they will be an absolute terror
Padfoot: but an adorable terror

Moony: you’re in uncle mode already

*Incoming call from Moony;)*

“Hey what’s u-“

“Padfoot, oh my God I am so sorry holy shit!!”
“I’m so stupid I didn’t even think that any of them could’ve bee-“

*soft laughter*
“Moony it’s ok.”

“But it’s not! That was horrible!”
“You’re allowed to be angry at me!”
“Shout or do whatever you need to do, it's fine!”

“No Moony, it's really fine, I promise.”
“And if it wasn’t I would tell you.”
“I’m over that part of my life, or, as over it as I can be.”
“I’ve had lots of time, so yes, it really really is ok!”

“But I ca-“

“Hello sir, as much as I am enjoying you interrupting my class, can you please take this call with your boyfriend out to the corridor where you cannot disrupt my class any further.”

“Oh of course, I’m so sorry Professor Binns.”

“That’s fine, just don’t do it again.”
“Now as I was saying, the roman influence contributed to many advances in…….”
*voices fading into distance*

*said through loud laughter*
“Remus I know you did NOT just make that call in the middle of class!!”

*embarrassedly*
“That class is so boring I forgot I was in class until ‘that’ happened!!”
“Ughhh this is so embarrassing!”

“Oh no this has been tremendous fun, I’m glad to see this ‘Professor Binns’ has taste.”

“Taste?”

“Moony dear, did you miss the part where he called me your boyfriend?”

“Oh-“

*laughter*

“Who is that?”

“Oh well Regulus is a nosey fucker and has been listening this whole time.”

“Oh good god.”

“Oh no Moony it was quite spectacular, I mean interrupting a whole lecture theatre just to apologize to my darling brother. Although it does make sense because you could probably murder everyone he loves and he would still be in lov-“
*muffled sounds*

“Ok now what is THAT?”

“That is me putting me hand over Reggie’s mouth before he can say something stupid!”

“Well first of all, it was a small group of people, not a WHOLE lecture theatre!”

“Still embarrassing though, it’s just Sirius.”

“Regulus shut the fuck up or I’ll make sure you don’t get any ice cream at Andy’s!!”

“Oh please Andy loves me more than you so if anyone won’t get ice cream it’s you!”

“You guys have an….. interesting sibling dynamic.”

“Mhmm James seems to think so too!”

“Hey Moony!!!”

“I’m guessing that’s James?”

“It is indeed.”

“Oh good!”
“He’s my favourite one anyway.”

*yells of indignation*

“Oh Moon boy I knew I was going to like you!”
“I mean I knew I would anyway, but this is truly wonderful!”

“Nice to meet you Prongs!”
“I’ve heard a lot about you!”

“Padfoot tends to talk a lot about, HEY-“

*phone being grabbed*

*pouting*
“Moony!!”

*mockingly pouting*
“Padfoot!!”

“You can’t like James more than me!!”

*muffled in the background*
“He’s my brother-in-law, to be!”
“Of course he had to like me!”

“What was that?”
“I can’t really hear anything?”

“Sorry Moony, bad reception!”
“Talk to you later!!!”

“Bye James and Regulus!”

“HEY!!”

*whispering*
“Bye Padfoot.”

*also whispering*
“Why are we whispering?”

“Because I just walked back into my lecture.”

“Oh shit ok, bye Moony!!”

*laughing quietly*
“Bye Padfoot.”

*call ended 15 mins*
