“I understand that Reggie is a busy guy with O.W.L’s to worry about and what not but can he really not spare some time for me, his brother? Aren’t I supposed to be the most important person in his life? Whatever, it’s not like I care! I have important things to do anyway.” Sirius thought as he sat listening, not really, to Mcgonagall talk about transforming a person into an animal.
Remus watched him out of the corner of his eye. “Is he still pouting about Regulus?” Remus thought as he mentally sighed. It’s only a week, you think he’d be alright, guess not. Sirius kept moving and fidgeting with all sorts of stuff as he thought. At one point, he was twisting his quil in between his fingers, then he was tapping his foot, and now he’s scribbling on his parchment.
Remus was losing his mind over the constant movement.
“Do you mind?” Remus whispered to Sirius on his left, with a tone of annoyance.
“What?” questioned Sirius, confused.
“You keep moving and fidgeting.” Remus explained.
“Oh! Sorry, I’ll stop.”
“Thank you.”
Remus went back to focusing on the lecture, writing something in his notes every once in a while. It was peaceful for about five minutes until Sirius started up again. “You’ve got to be kidding me!” Remus thought, now unable to focus as Sirius had started to tap his nails on the desk.
Without thinking, Remus just reached over and placed his hand on top of Sirius’, holding it still. Remus didn’t think much of it and continued writing his notes but when he looked over at Sirius a few minutes later, he was staring at their hands on the top of the desk, a light blush on his face.
“What?” quizzed Remus.
“N-nothing!” Sirius answered, still staring at their hands.
Remus smiled to himself. “Well let’s have some fun with this, shall we.” Remus thought as he entwined their fingers together and pulled their hands onto his thigh. He looked over at Sirius again, his blush darkening and spreading to his ears. Remus started rubbing his thumb on the back of Sirius’ hand in slow circles.
He knew Sirius was clingy and loved physical contact but when it came to things like this, holding hands, cuddling, kissing, you know, coupley things, he didn’t really like to show it off to everyone and preferred it to happen in private. But right now, Remus could feel Sirius practically vibrating next to him. Remus just smiled to himself and continued his notes. Every so often he would give Sirius’ hand a light squeeze and look over to see him smiling the biggest smile Remus has ever seen on his face.
They stayed like that for the rest of the lecture. Afterwards they walked back to the dorms, as that was their last class of the day. The whole way their hands were entwined and both of them were smiling big, goofy, in love smiles.
