The talk
Remus was nervously scanning around his room. Trying to look for something that looked out of place. He smoothed the blanket on his bed once more, before he decided to just let everything be the way they were.
It was the first time Sirius was coming over to his house. It was summer and even though the two boys had thought they would be able to go a couple of months without seeing each other it hadn’t been that easy. The other day he got an owl from Sirius saying he would go mad if he had to stay home for the next few weeks.
And that he missed Remus more than anything.
So they decided Sirius would come over to his house, because according to Sirius, coming over to Grimmauld Place was like a death wish.
And Remus was waiting for Sirius to arrive. It was a bit of a trip for Sirius to come over from London, but like he had said ‘I could travel much longer for you Moony, don’t stress’, so he tried not to.
He was grateful that his parents had agreed to leave the house for a while, so he and Sirius could have some privacy. His parents knew about the friendship between the two boys, but not that they were anything more. Remus had not known how to tell them about it, so he didn’t. He wasn’t scared that they wouldn’t be supportive, but he just wanted to save himself from the embarrassment of telling his parents. He didn’t know if his mothers would start crying of happiness or give him the talk.
In the worst scenario both of them.
There was a sound that woke Remus up from his thoughts. He walked out of his room and peeked through one of the kitchen windows outside.
And there Sirius was. Looking good as ever in his leather jacket and dark thigh jeans. He was walking up to their house and Remus ran quickly to the door to open it before Sirius could knock.
He wrenched the door open so forcibly that he for a second thought it broke the hinges. After making sure the door was okay he looked up to find Sirius standing a couple of metres away from him.
Sirius smiled at him and before Remus could react he was pulled into a hug. He squeezed Sirius as hard as he could and moved them both inside.
“Hi”, he said, breaking free from the hug to look at Sirius.
“Hi”, Sirius said back and moved his hands to Remus’ cheeks.
“I missed you”, he said and was about to lean into a kiss when Remus moved away to close the door.
“Sorry let me just close this”, he said and turned around to turn the lock. Then he was back in Sirius arms and finally he could kiss him, so he did
Remus moved his hands to Sirius’ neck and tilted his head down to press his lips on Sirius’ lips. Hands found their way on his sides and Remus felt like melting into the touch. Then a tongue slipped inside Remus’ mouth and he gladly accepted it. But then he moved away from the kiss.
“Okay”, he laughed. “Maybe we should move away from the door”
Sirius huffed a breath. “Oh I was just having fun”
Remus rolled his eyes at him and turned around. “So um here’s my home”
Sirius looked around in the room. It wasn’t anything special, and for sure nothing compared to the house where Sirius lived, so all of sudden he felt embarrassed.
“It’s nothing special”, he said and ran his hand through his hair and neck. Maybe he should just take Sirius to his room, though it wasn’t anything special either.
“I like it”, Sirius said and turned to him smiling. “It’s really cosy, I would say. ”
He moved closer to Remus and pressed his head on Remus’ neck. “It’s cute, you don’t have to be embarrassed”
“I wasn’t embarrassed”, he claimed and felt Sirius smile on his neck.
“Yeah you were”, he kissed Remus just below his jaw and lifted his head up. “But you don’t have to be because I like it”
“I wanna see your room Remus”, he told him and began to move in the direction of the two closed doors.
Remus moved too and took a hold of Sirius’ hand. “Sure. It’s that door”, he pointed to another of the doors.
Inside Remus’ room Sirius once again looked around himself. There wasn’t much to look at, just his bed and the table full of school books and other stuff Remus didn’t really have a place for.
“Did you clean your room just because I was coming over?” Sirius asked and sat down on his bed, which he had made for the first time this morning since coming home from Hogwards.
“Maybe”, he admitted and sat down next to Sirius on the bed. “I wanted to give you a good impression.
Sirius smiled widely and layed down on the bed. “Oh Moony, you don’t have to give me any kind of impression. It’s not like this is the first time we see each other, I know you”
Then he moved to lay down on one of the pillows on the bed and struggled the leather jacket off.
“Making yourself home already?” Remus asked and watched Sirius run his hands through his long black hair. The movement made his shirt ride up and show, despite it being summer, the pale skin of his stomach. Remus couldn’t help but stare. In his bed, laid a gorgeous gorgeous boy called Sirius Black, looking way too good for his sake.
“What are you staring at?” Sirius asked, smirking. Remus moved his eyes back to Sirius face and opened his mouth to answer.
“You know Remus I really missed you these past weeks”, Sirius stated and got up to lean on his elbows. “So why don’t you come here?”
Before Remus could even think himself he was on top of Sirius, legs on both sides of his body. He took a hold of the hem of Sirius’ shirt, slowly rolling the shirt up, until his chest was fully exposed.
“God”, he murmured and leaned down to kiss him. Sirius kissed him back as eagerly and a small breath came out of him when Remus' hands slipped to his bare sides. He gently caressed the soft skin, enjoying the warmth.
“I missed you so much'', Sirius said between the kisses and moved his own hands to Remus’ lower back. His fingers slightly dipped below the band of Remus’ trousers.
“Oh fuck”, Remus said and took a hold of Sirius’ shirt.
“Off, take it off now”
Sirius laughed a little, but did as his boyfriends told him. And then Remus’ lips moved to his neck, sucking the tender skin. His hips rose up from the mattress when Remus gently bit the skin below his ear.
Sirius flipped them over now straddling Remus’ hips. He took a hold of the hem of Remus' sweater to pull it off. He trailed kisses all over his chest and moved lower on to press his lips on Remus’ stomach, the same time his fingers moved to his trousers.
His other hand worked on the belt while the other moved on top of the very obvious bulge. Remus' mouth opened letting out the smallest moan.
And before either of them could do anything there was a knock on the door. The person didn’t wait for an answer, but opened the door.
“Hi boys I didn’t know if you heard us”, Remus' mom Hope said, but saw the scene on his son’s bed and quickly closed the door.
“I’m sorry!” she yelled from the other side.
“Mom!” Remus also yelled and threw the shirt laying next to him on the bed at Sirius.
“Dress up”, he whisper yelled to Sirius the same time he yanked his own sweater on.
Sirius quickly moved off from Remus’ lap and sat up from the bed.
“You didn’t tell they were coming home”
Remus ran a hand through his hair and pulled the sweater lower on his body, before heading to the doors direction.
“I didn’t know”, he said, but before he opened the door he pointed a finger at Sirius.
“Do something about that”, his eyes were on Sirius crotch where a very obvious boner could be seen.
“You were supposed to do something about it!” Sirius whined and adjusted his tight jeans.
“Shut up”, Remus said and opened the door.
Remus was met with his mother’s shocked expression. He didn’t really know what to say or think. He couldn’t tell if she was pissed or just shocked, or both. But he didn’t have to say anything because Hope beated him at it.
“When you guys are ready please come to the living room”, she smiled and turned around.
Remus closed the door confused. Clearly his mom wasn’t angry. She wouldn’t have smiled if she was. But now he was scared to know what is waiting for him and Sirius in their living room.
“Is she pissed? What did she say?” Sirius asked while combing his hair with his long fingers.
“No I don’t think so, but she wants us to the living room”, Remus answered unsure if they should try and explain themselves to his parents or not.
Though there weren't any other options than to explain it all to them. His mother literally just walked on them and suddenly he was happy she came at that moment and not five minutes later.
Not that his boyfriend's hand on his crotch was any better. Still it probably was.
“Shit”
“What?”
“We are going to get the talk”
“The talk?” Remus asked, confused. He had no idea what Sirius was talking about, but clearly it was something to be worried about.
“Yeah you know the talk?” Sirius said, moving his hands in big gestures.
“No I really don’t know”
“C’mon Moony! The sex talk, like remember to use protection so you don’t get pregnant”
“I don’t think that’s how it works with us”
“No shit it doesn’t!”
“So why are we worried about it”
“Because we have had sex and when a parent walks on you having sex, or in our situation walks on you when you’re about to have sex, you get the sex talk”, Sirius explained and sounded like he was about to lose his mind.
“I feel like we should be more worried about the fact that now my parents know we are together”, Remus said and sounded worried. Sirius turned to him fully and stared straight ahead, clearly trying to think it through the same way Remus was.
“Will they be cool with it?” Sirius asked, worried.
“Well I think there’s only one way to find out”
And that’s how the two boys found themselves sitting on the Lupin family’s sofa. It was awkward, way too awkward. No one said anything, in fact Lyall and Hope were clearly waiting for the two boys to say something.
Remus decided to be the brave one. Sirius was looking down, picking on the skin around his nails. He didn’t really interact well with parents and it didn’t help that he didn’t know if Remus' parents would hate him or not.
“So me and Sirius are together”, Remus said and looked at his parents. There wasn't a clear reaction from either of them. They both simply just looked at him.
“Thank you for telling us”, Hope said and smiled. Remus let out a breath he didn’t realise he'd been holding. It was relieving to see that at least his mother wasn’t mad.
“How long have you been dating?” Lyall asked, speaking for the first time since they sat down.
Remus looked at Sirius and moved his hand. “Stop picking on your skin”, he said quietly and rested his hand on top of Sirius' hand.
Finally Sirius raised his head up meeting eyes with Lyall, but quickly moved his gaze to the side.
“Umm soon ten months, right?” he said quietly.
“Yeah”, Remus said and laughed a little. Sirius wasn’t the one two remember specific dates. He remembers the day they started dating, obviously. And he remembered their six months anniversary, but anything between that and a year. Who the fuck knows?
“So you two have been dating almost a year and didn’t tell us?” Lyall sounded a little hurt and looked at his wife sitting next to him.
“We didn’t know how you guys would react”, Remus admitted and Sirius nodded his head, now drawing little patterns on Remus’ hand.
“You think we wouldn’t accept you guys?” Hope asked.
“Remus we love you and wouldn’t ever hate you for liking the same gender. And Sirius”, she now looked directly at him. “You seem like a lovely boy. We are only happy for you”
She turned to look at her husband. “Right Lyall?”
“Of course. We only want what’s best for you. And seem like you guys make each other happy”, Lyall said with a smile, eyes on the two boys joined hands.
“Have you told your parents, Sirius?” Hope asked
Before Sirius even said anything he was shaking his head.
“No um no. They wouldn’t like that”, he took a small break from talking. “You know the Black’s family is not necessary”, he said but didn’t end his sentence.
“Oh I’m sorry Dear”, Hope said. “Just so you know you’re always more than welcomed here”
Warm spread inside Sirius by Hope's words and he bit back the wide smile that tried to break free on his face. Instead he just smiled a little and nodded.
“Thank you ma’am, that means a lot”
Hope waved her hand in the air, smile spread on her face “Just say Hope no need for ma’am”
Remus looked at his parents and Sirius chatting for a bit. Or more like his parents asking him questions. It was nice seeing them get along. He was lucky his parents liked Sirius, not that it was possible to not like him.
“Now I think there’s something we will have to talk about”, Hope said and it brought Remus' attention back to the conversation. Sirius and Remus looked at each other. Remus felt like sinking to the cushion. Lyall didn’t look like he wanted to talk about these things either, but still nodded his head.
“So”, Hope started with. “First of all I want to again apologise for just walking in. I should have waited”
“It’s okay mom”, Remus muttered cheeks red from embarrassment. He wasn’t ready for what was about to come, and by the way Sirius was squeezing his fingers neither was he.
“I don’t think it’s necessary to tell you two how sex works?” Hope asked, raising her eyebrows.
Remus glanced at Sirius who looked back at him. “No I think we know”
“That’s what I thought. But I hope you have talked things clear, talked about boundaries and all. I am assuming both of you are clean”
“Mom!” Remus yelped
“Remus, it's important to know the risks. I don’t want either of you catching any diseases or getting anyone pregnant”
“We aren’t getting any diseases!”, Remus whined
“Or getting anyone pregnant”, Sirius added and looked at Remus. “Right?”
“Babe!” Remus bursted out and quickly brought his hand up to his mouth. He glanced at his parent’s who just smiled at him.
“No I’m not getting anyone pregnant and yes we have talked about this and yes we are both clean and no we are not having sex with anyone else than each other”, Remus quickly said. He got up from the sofa pulling Sirius up with him.
“Now are we done here, because I feel like we are done here?” Remus asked and was ready to run back to his room and never come out again.
“There’s no need to be embarrassed, Remus. Sex is completely normal, but you just have to be careful and know what you’re doing”, Hope said
“Yup we are hundred percent careful and safe and know what we are doing, but I’m still very much embarrassed. So please let us just go back to my room”
Hope laughed but waved her hand to Remus' doors direction. “Okay boys you can go! The dinner is ready soon”
“Thanks mom”, Remus said before he closed his room door. He plopped himself on his bed and brought his hands to his face.
“Oh fuck. I’m never having sex again, like never”
Sirius walked closer to the bed and slowly settled himself fully on top of Remus. He laid his head to the crook of Remus' neck.
“It wasn’t that bad”
Remus looked down at Sirius, but was only able to see the back of his head. “That wasn’t bad? Seriously?”
“I’m always serious”, he mumbled to Remus’ neck.
Sirius raised his head up and accidentally butted his head to Remus’ jaw.
“Sorry love”, he peppered his jaw with little kisses.
“But no, that was not bad. The one James had for me was way more worse”
“James?” Remus asked and got up a bit to rest his head on the wall. He linked his arms around the small of Sirius back.
“Oh yeah. I never told you about it? But yeah James came up to me one day, just after we had started dating. He said that because my parents probably never had this conversation with me he would have to. And also because, these are his words, okay? He said he didn’t want us to hurt each other by not knowing what to do”
Remus laughed at that. It sounded like such a James thing to do.
“So he told me how sex works, how gay sex works. He even had pictures, I don’t know where he had gotten them. Then he told me the spell for lube and basically everything”
“Oh wow”, Remus breathed.
“Yup. But maybe that talk is the reason why our sex is as good as it is. Actually I should probably thank James the next time I see him”
Remus shook his head, but took a hold of Sirius’ face to bring him closer.
“I’m glad my parents like you”, he whispered, lips almost brushing.
“Me too, I was so scared”, Sirius admitted.
“They are going to love you, I just know it”
Sirius smiled and brought their lips together. The kiss was sweet and tender.
“Dinner boys!” Hope's voice called from the kitchen and Remus pulled back.
“I love you”, Sirius whispered.
Remus ran a hand through his black, soft hair.
“I love you too sweetheart”
“Ew that’s cheesy”, Sirius crunched his nose, and Remus rolled his eyes.
“Okay I hate you then. Is that better hmm?” he asked and pushed Sirius off of him.
“Ah when his love language is being mean. You’re the love of my life Moony”
“Yeah I better be”, Remus muttered and got up from the bed.
“And so smug, bloody hell I have a keeper right here”
Remus slapped his stomach gently.
“I’m leaving you here”
“And bossy”
“Bye Sirius”
“Okay I’m coming, I’m coming!” he laughed and got up from the bed to follow Remus to the kitchen.
“Please don’t say that ever again when we are not shagging”
Sirius squeezed his ass just before they got to the kitchen and smiled innocently.
And Remus just rolled his eyes at his boyfriend.
