Tangled Together

Sirius

The first thing Sirius noticed about Remus was how bloody tall he was. He guessed he was around six foot two with a lanky frame. He was hot he'd admit that.

He also noticed a thick accent when they spoke which, no matter how hard he tried he couldn't guess where it was from. "Remus- tell us where you are from cause i can not figure it out"

Remus smiled and shuffled in his seat, "I'm from Cardiff in Wales, moved here when i started secondary school"

"cute" Sirius thought and turned to James, "He was born and raised here right Jamie"

"Yeah no that nickname isn't going to stick"

"I think its great"

"Yeah cause your a wind up" James replied laughing and turning to Remus, "Two guesses where Sirius is from"

Remus thought for a moment studying Sirius "France but raised here".

Both Sirius and James cheered "bang on the money" Sirius said smiling "bloody brilliant"

They talked for another hour or so and exchanged numbers before Remus had to rush off somewhere, they hugged goodbye and James turned to Sirius so fast he was surprised he didn't get whiplash.

"Jesus- what" Sirius said.

"You had chemistry with him"

"You say that to any male i talk to for more than a minute" he said getting up and walking out, hearing James running after him.

"Yeah but i mean it this time- hes cute right"

Sirius looked down automatically telling James he agreed.

"I KNEW IT- oh you wanna suck his di- OW" James was cut off by Sirius pulling his hair. "What was that for"

"Your being inappropriate".

James blabbered on the whole walk back to his apartment about Sirius' so called 'abuse' until he saw him checking his phone. "Texting Remus already huh"

Sirius sighed, he really was a wind up sometimes, "No it Reggie"

James instantly brightened at this, much to Sirius' disgust "Lets go see him"

He rolled his eyes "You seem to like my brother more than i do"

"No i just feel like he needs friends is that so terrible of me"

"In a way yes"

James tutted and grabbed his arm walking down the street to the small house Regulus shared with his friend Barty. Sirius, along with James, were twenty one so they had enough of a break after school to get a job and stuff, Regulus however was still nineteen almost twenty so he had to house share for money reasons.

Sirius had offered him a job multiple times but Reggie, being the stubborn little shit he is, refused saying he 'didn't want his brothers charity'. Sirius and James spoke about this and kept walking.

It was late afternoon before they reached Regulus' house, between the time with Remus and the stopping at almost every shop for James, it took them a while to get there.

Sirius walked up to the door not even bothering to knock, and walked inside.

He was hit instantly by a cold air and shouted to Regulus, who he was yet to see, "Whys it so bloody cold"

Regulus came running downstairs his curly black hair wet and a towel around his waist. James (very obviously) looked at Regulus before turning away.

"The bloody heating stopped working when i was in the shower- stupid fucking thing" He said walking back upstairs, James visibly relaxing.

Sirius tutted and shouted up to him "Why'd you come down like that for"!

Regulus ran downstairs now fully dressed "knew your friend would be with you" he said smiling, winking at James.

James smiled and sat down turning to Sirius smugly.

"Yeah alright alright- wheres your boyfriend Regulus" Sirius said sitting next to James.

"Hes not my boyfriend idiot hes my friend and hes at uni such a smart ass" he replied sitting across from them.

"You are like a married couple" Sirius and Regulus were bickering when James had to shut them down.

"Leave baby black alone Sirius, and you Regulus don't be rude and make your guests a tea"

Regulus sighed and walked to the kitchen, quickly followed by James (probably to flirt), leaving Sirius alone.

Sirius leaned back and looked around. The house was nicely decorated, a little 'emo' but still nice. The walls were dark with white bookshelves and pictures dotted around. The sofa was nice to, black leather with fluffy cushions. Sirius got up and walked over to the picture on the mantel. It was a picture of them as kids, their parents cropped out. They took it at home, a posh family portrait. They looked so much alike, especially when younger, even Sirius knew this.

They looked happy in the photo, they weren't but they looked it, how could they be happy when there parents were so shitty to them and so- Sirius shook his head and looked at the other photos. There was a nice photo of Barty and Regulus at some fancy bookstore followed by a photo of Marlene, Marys best friend and a close friend of Sirius' too, kissing Regulus on the cheek. More photos of him and Regulus and finally, much to his surprise, a photo of him and James at a park.

Sirius shook this off and sat back down hearing the boys coming back and taking their seats.

"So-" James started "Sirius has a future husband"

Regulus perked up at this. completely ready to annoy his brother.

"No i do not i met him today"

"You were eye fucking him the whole time"

"Shut up i was being nice"

"Well if you were being that nice to me id be scared"

"Your the worst" Sirius sighed and looked at Regulus, he looked off, "whats up with you"

James looked as Regulus moved uncomfortably in his seat, "Nothing had a log day that's all- you guys hear about Spider-man stopping a robber this morning"?

Sirius tutted and James smiled, "Regulus this is a sensitive subject for him"

"Is it cause you fancy him Sirius"

"Bloody hell no- look i just don't think he should make his whole personality about saving people"  James sighed and leaned back at this.

Regulus rolled his eyes and leaned forward, "Your just jealous you don't have spider powers and can shoot webs out of your wrist"

"Hey- if he can shoot webs of his wrist-" James started and Sirius shut that down very quickly, not in front of his baby brother. "I'm playing im playing chill"

"Must all your thoughts be dirty James" Regulus said, smiling slightly.

"Oh wouldn't you like to know baby Black"

"No i rather think you should keep them to yourself"

"Oh don't lie you'd love it if i told you them, just you and me in a bedroom, in a nice be-"

Sirius stood up fast "Right lets get going"

Regulus and James smiled when they heard the door open and slam shut. Sirius turned to see Barty in the doorway, not looking at all happy.

Barty looked at them and turned to Regulus, "Sorry didn't realize you had friends over"

"S'okay- whats wrong'

"Nothing long day"

"Wanna talk about it"

"No" Barty replied blankly storming off upstairs.

James rolled his eyes and Regulus sighed loudly, "Moody" Sirius said.

"Tell me about it" Regulus responded dryly.

"We will take that as a cue to leave" James said looking at Regulus' annoyed expression.

Both boys hugged Regulus and wished him luck with Barty's bad mood, then walked out the house making their way home.

Sirius arrived home around nine pm that night, walking upstairs and lying on his bed. He was almost asleep when his phone went off, he rolled over and checked it,

"So are you planning on telling me your favorite queen song then" shortly followed by another message, "This is Remus by the way"

Sirius smiled and responded, "Sorry, that's something i cant reveal to at least the third date"

"Damn thought you was easy"

Sirius laughed loudly at this, Remus was funny.

"Thought wrong Remmy, why are you texting so late"

"I'm not home yet, taking a night stroll- why you replying so late"

"Well in my defense im actually at home in bed- you should be careful"

"Oh in bed send pic"

"You'd like that wouldn't you"

"No i asked cause it would be terrible"

Sirius and Remus were texting back and fourth before Sirius heard a scream from the alley-way down the corner. He shot up fast and looked at the window. "what the fuck-" he thought and waited for more noise. There was nothing for a good few minutes until he heard a bang. "okay okay okay okay- don't freak out just go check and keep texting Remus just in case", he got up and walked outside quietly.

He pulled out his phone and dropped a quick text to Remus, "Weird noise outside my house- brb should be fine lmao"

He heard his phone go off a few times- probably Remus insisting to not go out, but kept walking to the ally. He looked into the distance and saw two men trying to steal from a woman.

"Yeah no- no way nope not my responsibility" He turned away quickly when he heard someone shout at him. He ignored it and started picking up his pace when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He was about to run when he felt himself being pushed against the wall.

"Should mind your damn business shouldn't you" said the person who pushed him. He was tall and well built, wearing a mask though so couldn't see what he looked like.

"Look man i don't want any trouble"

"Sorry man i really cant risk the snitch" Before he could answer he felt a hard punch to his gut, he fell to the floor seething in pain.

"Better run before we do more"

But thee was no way Sirius was having that, he kicked the man to the floor and stood up ready to do more  damage. The other man seemed to have ran because the ally- way was empty. Sirius got ready to kick the man when he suddenly stood up, punching Sirius again, this time in the face.

They started fighting, and at first Sirius defiantly had the upper hand, he wasn't about to let some asshole beat him up near his own house.

Finally, Sirius got ready to throw one last punch, but he was to late. He was thrown the floor and the man was above him, kicking and hitting him, swearing at him and calling him names.

He considered giving up, begging for mercy or just taking it. He couldn't fight back now, he was to injured.

He was about to give up when some sort of heavy wind snatched the man off him. Sirius opened his eyes face to face with the man, except he was tangled in a web shouting for help and swearing.

He sat up looking around, and saw what the 'heavy wind actually was'. Fucking Spider-Man.

He walked over and helped Sirius up "You okay sir"

Sirius pushed him away, "Yes- what are you- i- how"

"Yes i know its a shock- are you okay"

"Yes- i didn't need your help you know"

"Sure you didn't- let me walk you back to your house"

"No look i said i was fine- thanks for that but didn't need it"

"Sir"

"No honestly its fine" Sirius didn't even wait for his response and stormed back into his house and into his bed.

He didn't need saving, never did and never will, he wasn't about to be one of those fanboys and start freaking out over a superhero. In-fact, he was more annoyed than happy he was completely capable.

"I don't need saving- its weak mother always said so- i don't need saving"

These were his last thoughts before falling into a deep slumber.
