Summer of 1976
“Oh! James! You twat!” Sirius grumbled. Smoke almost flaring from his nose and ears, standing with his arms crossed.
“Give it to me.” He demanded. James just grinned and shook his head. “Please, James.” he began to whine.
“James, play nice.” Remus said, sighing as he flipped through his book.
“My house, my rules. You’re not getting her letters until you rub my feet.” James grinned, swaying Sirius’ lover’s letter, dressed in pink and had a strong scent of roses and cinnamon that danced in the air for a bit.
Sirius tried to snatch it but James flung his hands back, before he plopped himself in the couch. Raising his feet to rest on-top of the coffee table. Peter scrunched his nose at his action and rolled his head. “That’s disgusting, James.”
“Are you serious?” Sirius grumbled. “No, I’m James-“
“Just give it to me!” Sirius begged, tears starting to form by the corner of his eyes.
“James.”
“Sirius.”
Sirius then tackled James to the ground as he sent week punches to him, James laughing as he still held the letter behind his back.
“Children.” Remus muttered under his breath.
“James! Give it! Please!” Sirius begged.
“Sirius Black? Begging? My, my, this girl must be special.” James winked.
Sirius shoves him down before getting up, frustrated and irritated. He only wanted to read her letters. Why is James making it so hard for him?
“Come on, Prongs..” Sirius whined. “I wouldn’t do the same to you if Lily told me to pass along a message!”
James thought for a bit. “Oh you would.” He shrugged. “Yeah, I would.. but please, Prongs, I promise It won’t even cross my mind to torture you like this!” Sirius was getting desperate.
“Why can’t you just talk to her? Instead of sending letters?” Peter asked, amused on how Sirius was reacting over scent papers.
“It takes the romance out of it.” He spat. “And she’s in France.” he shrugged before looking back at James. “Please, James.”
“Aha!” Remus slyly snatched the letter from James hands, behind his back, while he was distracted of thinking about Sirius’s desperate attempts.
“Moony!” James whined. “All that drama, just for a letter. tsk.” Remus chuckled, “Here you go, Padfoot.”
“Thank you so much, Rem.” Sirius grinned, wiping the tears that threatened to fall out of frustration, before he ran to a chair and excitedly opened the letter.
The latter followed him and stood behind Sirius. The last thing they want was to know what the letter held that made Sirius almost cry for mercy.
The letter was a bit crumpled thanks to James firm grip on it. Sirius made sure to send him a glare. But he opened it and there was this lovely creme letter, his initials with small stars on the corner. He smiled and opened it and began to read,
Dear Sirius,
I’ve read all your letters. They all made me laugh of pure joy. Please send more next time. France has been wonderful! Their creamy soups matched perfectly with their long breads! Oh, I wish you were here. Seeing all the couples celebrate their summer together makes me miss you more than anything. I miss your kiss, warm kisses that makes my knees buckle and your welcoming hugs and embraces that makes me want to just be a teddy bear for you to hug when you get scared, or lonely, or excited. I miss your eyes, I’ve seen the Eiffel Tower at night, and I just couldn’t stop imagining them shining through your eyes. I’ve got you a few things for when I come home. Including a new set of Victoria Secre—
Sirius folds the paper and looked back at his friends, “I believe this part, I should only read.”
James and Remus gave each other a smug look before nodding and moving back to their places, “Want to play some games? Mum got me some from the muggle world.” James suggested and he, Peter and Remus all cheered within themselves as they moved back to the couch, in the living room.
Sirius looked at them for a second, seeing them start to get busy with a new board game, before unfolding the letter to continue reading.
—t lingerie. I’ve sent some pictures, thats just one of the sets I bought. I don’t know when this letter will arrived to you, but I’ll be back in 2 days, 5 June, hopefully. I’ll see you soon. Enjoy the pictures. Lots of love and kisses. xx
Sirius opened back the letter and saw the photographs, immediately widening his eyes as a grin played on his lips, he puts the contents of the envelope inside as he ran upstairs and safely tucked his love under his pillow.
He is more than excited and simply can’t wait for her return.
