Three times Sirius said something out of hand and one time Remus did
1.
Peter, Remus and Sirius along with the girls were all eating breakfast in the great hall. Only James was missing which was unusual. The boy was normally the first up and ready for the day.
“Are you sure he was awake when we left?” Peter asked for the third time. Sirius nodded his head as he took a bite of his toasts.
“Yeah, I already told you. He was just laying in his bed, I told we were going down to breakfast and he just said he’ll be there in a minute”
“Well that minute was like twenty minutes ago”, Lily pointed out from Remus' other side.
“Maybe he’s sick?” Marlene suggested. Sirius shook his head and scrunched up his nose.
“No way he would have said-”
“There he is!” Pete said and pointed his finger to the tall doors where James was making his way towards the table. He looked more tired than normally as he basically dragged his legs. He sat down next to Sirius and sighed. They all looked at James, unsure what to say or do.
“You okay, Prongs?” Remus was the first to break the silence. James sighed again and then reached towards the tea on the table.
“I’m so tired”, James muttered. They all followed as he started to load his plate with food. Then he stopped as he realised all his friends were looking at him.
“What?”
“Nothing”, Peter said. “I mean why are you tired”
James took a bite of a sausage that was on his plate, “Till like three in the morning I heard this fucking banging noise.” Sirius glanced at Remus who was sitting opposite of him. Remus shook his head. “I was confused”, James kept going, “But when neither of you three seemed to hear it I just decided to let it be”
James let out a huge yawn, “But I couldn’t sleep until it suddenly stopped”
All the others were quiet just looking at each other. Until Sirius started laughing and Remus looked at him with warning eyes.
“Sirius don’t-”
“Sorry Prongs”, Sirius said and wrapped his arm around James’ shoulders. “You know it’s close to the full moon. Moony likes it a bit rough”
Lily and Mary both groaned. Marlene started giggling trying to mumble it to her hand. Peter’s eyes widened the same time a blush creeped on his cheeks.
“And I mean, who am I to stop him”, Sirius grinned. Remus just looked at him with a bored expression before pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Oh my fucking god, Sirius” James groaned and pushed his best friend away from him. He pointed his finger at his two friends. “Are you telling me I was up all night, because you two were fucking?”
“A guy has his needs,” Sirius said and shrugged. “You would understand if you.. well” he looked at Remus like he wanted to eat him.
“I literally hate you”, Remus murmured.
“This is disgusting”, Mary informed and got up from the table.
“Can I leave too or does that make me a hypocrite?” Remus asked.
2.
After a very long game and even longer time of training the Gryffindor team had defeated Slytherin, becoming the championship team of the year. The whole house had gone crazy the second James had gotten the golden snitch.
And what could have been a better way to celebrate than to throw a party. The whole quidditch team was drunk off their asses. Which was deserved Remus thought as he was sitting on the sofa watching Sirius and James drunkenly dance around the common room. Then suddenly a 6th grader named Jayce, who had been the games commentator, climbed on top of the coffee table.
“Listen up everybody!” he yelled and the music as well as the chatter quieted down. “After such a fantastic season and even better game I think we all want to hear some wise words from our captain and from the chaser of the year”
People started cheering as Peter pushed James and Sirius towards the coffee table.
“Ah James Potter”, Jayce said and gestured to James to get on top of the coffee table too . “How are we feeling?”
James was grinning and his eyes weren’t even fully open, but that didn’t stop him from smoothly hopping on top of the table.
“Mate, we are feeling bloody fantastic”, he said and wrapped his arm around the 6th former. “Okay, okay I have some wise words for you guys”
“So you think, James!” Marlene shouted from her seat at the other side of the sofa. Remus smiled at her and pulled the girl to his side. Marlene drunkenly kissed his cheek. James pointed his finger at the two of them.
“Oi, leave my boy Remus alone, Mckinnon”, as an answer Marlene licked Remus’ cheek. Remus just laughed and hugged Marlene even closer to him.
“Okay, okay”, James chuckled. “First of all I’m so proud of you guys. I would have been even if we didn’t win, but now I can’t even explain how much it means to me to be this teams captain”
“But now”, he smirked and grabbed the bottle Sirius, who was standing next to him on the floor, from his hand. “Let’s get drunk!”
People cheered again and James hopped back to the ground and in turn pushed Sirius on the table.
“Ahh, there comes our heart throb”, Jayce announced, getting a cheer out of the girls in the room. Remus shook his head as Sirius smiled, his teeth showing grin and bowed.
“What a show off”, he said to Marlene who poked his cheek.
“So Sirius, not only did your team have a great season but you did too personally”
“Yeah I mean, couldn't have done that without my team, would I?” Sirius said, at least trying to sound humble. Everyone in the room knows Sirius had scored most of the points during the season. It was simply the fact.
“So humble, I see”, Jayce commented. “So tell us, Sirius. What is the secret to your succees?”
“Well, what can I say? You just have to shoot your shot and wish for the best”, Sirius struggled with a smug smile. “Though, I’ve been told I’m good at riding many things, not just the broom. Must just be the natural talent in me”
“Oh merlin”, Remus leaned his head to the back of the sofa and groaned, while Marlene next to him was giggling. He got up, taking the half empty bottle of fire whiskey with him and made his way up to the stairs leading to the dorms.
“Oh!” Sirius said and hopped off the coffee table. “There goes my ride, gotta go!”
3. (this one’s more like Sirius teasing Remus)
“I can’t believe you got a better grade than me”, Lily whined for the fifth time. “You didn’t even study that much!”
Remus couldn’t help laughing. They’d received their herbology exams result and Remus had done better than Lily, not much but still. Lily was having a hard time believing it, because the past two weeks Lily had spent her evenings with her nose buried in books.
“I already told you, just because I didn’t spend all my time studying in the library with you doesn’t mean I didn’t study at all”
Lily huffed, “Still! I’ve always been better than you”
“Better at what?” Sirius asked as he and James walked to the common room. Sirius threw himself on the sofa, basically crushing half of Remus underneath him.
“Ugh”, Remus breathed and pushed Sirius off of him who still refused to move any farther away from him.
“Herbology”, Lily sighed. “He got a better grade than me!”
“Really? Well that’s the first time”, James joked. Everyone knows Lily is at the top of the class in herbology.
Remus just struggled. It didn’t matter, he didn’t compete with any of his friends. He just studied for their exams because he wanted to. Not to get better grades than his friends.
“Yeah well whatever”
Sirius next to him gasped dramatically, “Oh wow Moony!” He wrapped his arm around Remus’ shoulders. “Good job, Remus. What a good boy you are”
Remus glanced at him and elbowed him gently, trying to get him to stop before really starting.
“I’m so proud of you”, Sirius said with a teasing voice. “Studying so well to the exams”
Remus felt how his cheeks grew warmer and tried to duck his head down, but Sirius took a hold of his cheeks and brought his head back up.
“Yeah that’s my good boy”, he said and moved his other hand to the back of Remus’ head. Sirius hummed and pulled slightly at his hair. “Yes, you are”
Remus knew exactly what Sirius was going, beside being an annoying prat. The worst part was that it was working, “Sirius stop”, he said, trying not to let his voice tremble. He patted Sirius’ hands away, who was just smiling at him sweetly.
That little shit
Lily and James were staring at the two of them until James glanced at Lily, “Why does this seem oddly sexual”. Remus pushed Sirius away from him and quickly put the pillow that was on the sofa to his lap.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Prongs”, Sirius said with a smug smile. “I’m just simply happy that Remus beat your girlfriend in an exam”
Remus, who was breathing too heavily for it to seem normal, looked at Sirius, “I hate you some much”
That’s when all the three of them turned to look at him, which made his face heat up even more.
Lily chuckled behind her hand, “Are you okay Remus?”
Remus sighed then adjusted his position on the sofa drawing his legs to his chest which ended up being worse so he just settled on keeping the pillow on his lap.
“I’m great, why?”
“I don’t know”, James asked and gave him a pointed look. “You look a bit uncomfortable”
Remus huffed and turned to glare at Sirius who was keeping his innocent act on, “The only person who should be uncomfortable is him”, he swatted Sirius on the leg who just let out a laugh.
“Oh Moony, but you’re just such a good good b-”
“Merlin, would you just stop!” Remus yelped and quickly jumped up from the sofa making sure to pull his sweater as low as possible. “I’m going up and for your own sake please, please give me a moment of peace”
“Just say you’re having a cheeky little wank, Remus. It’s normal”, Sirius commented calmly as he leaned his cheek to the back of the sofa.
Remus closed his eyes, breathed in and out before turning around and making his way to the stairs, but still decided turn back to face his friends, “Well you won’t be getting much else than that for the next month, so better prepare yourself”
By the time he had made it to their dorm's door he could hear James trying to catch his breath from laughing.
4.
Sirius has been on the edge since the morning. And Remus has no idea why or what he had done to deserve Sirius’ tantrums. It is ok to have bad days, but it would be nice to get a warning beforehand your boyfriend starts yelling at you for getting a shower without him… It was confusing, but Remus just let it be.
But then he got his foot stomped on for writing too loudly. For sure his fault. And after that, which had continued to this moment, Sirius decided to treat him with the silent treatment, because Remus was walking too quickly with his ’stupid fucking legs’.
That’s on him again, for sure.
“Don’t you two have practice today?” Peter asked as they were eating dinner in the great hall. James, whose mouth was full, nodded his head before swallowing.
“Yeah at seven”, Sirius said from where he had been talking with Marlene. He was still not talking to Remus, just occasionally rolling his eyes at him. Remus tried not to laugh at him, but it was funny.
“Great, so can you Moony help me with the history of magic assignments while they’re away?” Pete asked. Remus smiled at him and was just about to answer, but Sirius beat him at it.
“I thought we were supposed to study together, Remus”, Sirius said, finally looking at him. Remus glanced at Sirius and then at Peter who looked as confused as he felt.
“But you have practise” Remus carefully said. Sirius huffed, here we go again.
“Just say you don’t want to study with me, it’s fine”
Remus felt lost, but still chuckled a little. It was apparently the wrong move, because Sirius gave him the death glare.
“I never said that”, Remus pointed out. “ And I don’t think it’s possible for us to study while you’re flying around with the broom”
Sirius scoffed, “Oh fuck you, Remus”
And then the next words were flying out of Remus’ mouth before he even realised it, “Oh sweetheart you know I will, but not here”
At that James started coughing and Peter beside him clapped his back and looked at Remus with wide eyes. Sirius was staring at him with his mouth hanging open.
“Did”, Lily started from James' other side. “Did Remus just make a sex joke?”
“Oh my god”, Marlene snorted. “Oh look at Sirius’ face”, she wheezed. Sirius had gone all red and was looking down at his plate.
“I- I’ll go to the.. Um to the dorm”, he informed all flushed, before quickly getting up from his seat. Remus just stared ahead of himself, before Peter nudged him with his elbow.
“Are you going to go after him?”
Remus glanced to the doors direction where Sirius had just slipped out of the great hall, but then shook his head.
“Nah, he has a hand, actually two, he can help himself”, he struggled.
“Oh Remus, you naughty boy”, Marlene teased.
“Yeah”, James said, who was finally able to breathe again. “There’s not many times when Sirius hadn’t know what to say”
“Trust me”, Remus smirked. “There is”
“Remus!” Lily exclaimed with shock. “What has Black done to you.. You never…”
Remus just chuckled. Later when he got back to the dorm Sirius was already laying in Remus bed, waiting for him.
And it was safe to say Sirius was late to the practice.
