Remus was lazing on his bed. He hated the summer holidays. He absolutely hated them. His parents kept him cooped up inside and his only way of communicating with James or Sirius was through letters. Which they were both awful at writing. They were either incredibly short or ostentatiously long and made no coherent sense. Even Remus had trouble understanding his two best friends sometimes. Sirius' last letter had mentioned something about a motorcycle and kidnapping Moony, but he really thought Sirius was drunk when he wrote it.

So, Remus had replied and had nothing else to do but laze on his bed and wait for the reply.

Normally, Sirius might have kidnapped Remus by broom. He hadn't done it at all yet, but he had certainly thought about it. To be completely honest, most of the time, he was moping around James's house, waiting for Remus to reply to his amazing letters that talked about his adventures with Prongs. Those could have included things like rummaging through a haystack to find Prongs's wand that Sirius lost during a fantastic game of 'Capture the Wand,' going on a magically adventure to find Candy Mountain, or even walking in on a Harpie's Quidditch practice to show off their stuff. ...Theoretically.

But this summer, Sirius had received the best present ever from his favorite Uncle Alphard. He didn't even need a broom anymore, this thing was so freaking badass.

So he drove through the sky, leaving streaks of clouds behind him and rumbling through the air like thunder during a storm. He was absolutely stoked to finally go kidnap Moony, to take him on their own adventure. So he flew towards his house, contemplating on riding right through his room but deciding at last he was thoroughly against it. Sirius landed on the ground and picked up a few pebbles from the drive. He chucked them at Remus's window, determined not to break the glass.

	Remus' ears perked up at the tapping on his window. What the bloody hell? Who would be tapping on his window? He got up and peered down, and upon seeing Sirius, he rolled his eyes. Of course it would be Sirius. Remus opened the window and stuck his head out of it. "Well hello there," he said, trying to hide a smile. "What exactly do you think you're doing?"

Remus was lucky. If he had stuck his head out of his window one second later, Sirius would have hit him in the face with a rock. And Sirius so totally didn't want that because Remus Lupin's face was rather pretty, especially when he was thinking hard and trying to concentrate but couldn't quite get the solution. He did this little thing with his lips that--

Ahem.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Sirius called, curving his hands around his mouth to make his yell seem more yell-ish.

	Remus considered this for a moment. In fact, he made that very same face that Sirius had been thinking about a few moments earlier. Not that he knew that Sirius had been thinking about it. He looked back down at him and smiled. "I think you're kidnapping me. Would you like some tea?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh my giddy sweet spongy hair, he was doing the face. It was so pretty and Sirius just wanted to reach out and touch it and WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HIM?!

"Kidnappees don't get to decide!" Sirius exclaimed. "Kidnappers do all the deciding! Don't ask the kidnapper if he wants some tea! The kidnapper will TELL YOU if he wants some tea!" He paused. "Hey Moony, can I have some tea?"

Remus laughed, nearly hitting his head on the window. "Of course. Hang on. I'll be right down," he called down to Sirius and withdrew his head. He raced down the stairs as quietly as he could.

He caught a glimpse of himself in the hall mirror, and paused for a moment to attempt to fix his hair. He couldn't let Sirius in looking like this! It was disgraceful! It was- Wait. Why did he care? Remus made a face at himself in the mirror and went to the door, opening it for the boy standing on the lawn. All he could do was smile.

Sirius wasn't thinking one bit about his hair, windswept as he looked from the... well. Wind. He had that smell to him like the smell it had before it was going to rain. His eyes were bright with excitement.

As he waited for Remus to come get him, he shoved his hands in his pockets sheepishly. He actually couldn't wait to show Remus his new ride, but he supposed he should keep it hidden behind the shed for now. Grinning from ear to ear, he ran to the door when he saw it was opened and gave his friend a huge bear hug. "MOONY!" he greeted.

Remus kept grinning as he hugged Sirius back, winding his arms around the other in a tight hug. He missed his best friend. It had been weeks with only letters. That was not healthy. A person needed to see their friends over the summer holiday. He took perhaps just a bit longer than necessary in letting go of Sirius, however. He'd never admit it though.

"Herllo, Pads," he said finally, slightly breathlessly. Oh god, he missed him. "Come on. Tea time."

Merlin, he missed his best friend so much. Prongs was his best friend, too, but Remus was a different kind of best friend. Remus was the one that he felt like he could tell anything to -- he still wouldn't judge Sirius. James was like that to a certain extent, but James was much better to have around for random conversations about girls and Quidditch and other meaningless things.

Sirius realized that he was probably hugging him for far too long, but he wasn't about to say it aloud. He wasn't going to draw attention to himself like that.

"Tea time is the best time!" Sirius said with the cheesiest expression ever on his face. "I've missed you, mate," he admitted.

Remus smiled again, and slung an arm around Sirius' neck. "Of course it is," he agreed, dragging Sirius into his home. He usually wasn't this physical, but he hadn't seen Sirius in weeks. Really, that granted some sort of touching privileges, right?

Not like that, pervert.

He led Sirius into the kitchen and sat him on a stool while Remus prepared the tea. "Don't break anything," Remus warned him good-naturedly. "My parents would have your head."

	Sirius rolled his eyes. "Since when have I ever broken anything?" He paused. "Uhhh... don't answer that." Sirius adjusted and readjusted on the stool, making as much noise as humanly possible. "So, what have you been up to, Moony? Besides the normal inviting particularly handsome boys into the house and offering them tea?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Remus raised an eyebrow at him, pausing in his work. The noises from the stool sent shocks of panic through his body. His parents were going to wake up. His parents were going to wake up and freak out because Remus had a boy in the kitchen and they were asleep and-- Wait. It was just Sirius. They wouldn't care.

"Particularly handsome boys?" Remus responded, raising his other eyebrow to match. "I see no particularly handsome boys. I see you. You're not handsome." Except maybe he was a little bit.

Sirius was thoughtful. "Hm. Maybe you're right. A particularly handsome man might fit even better." He nodded. "Yeah, I like that, Moony. Good insight!" he said, then went back to readjusting on the stool.

Finally finding a comfortable spot, he rested both elbows on the counter and stared at Remus. "But really, what have you been up to? You sound miserable in your letters."

	He shook his head. "I'm not mad at you," Sirius said with a sigh. "I just wanted to do something you would have liked. I don't know. Try something new." A shrug. "You never try anything new, I just figured that we might as well do something." As if they hadn't tried anything 'new' that night already. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Remus stared at him incredulously. He felt anger bubbling up in his stomach. Or maybe it wasn't anger. Maybe it was shame. Whatever emotion it was, it was overtaking him. Something that never happened. "I don't try new things?" he nearly shouted at Sirius. "I don't try new things? What the fuck do you call earlier then, huh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sirius flinched as he heard Remus almost yelling at him. Perhaps he deserved that. "I..." he trailed off. "Well." Sirius bit his lower lip. "I don't know. I just thought." He shut his eyes, leaning his head back against the shed. "I don't know what I thought." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	passthegoethe 2008-08-08 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	And then Remus felt bad. He didn't mean to raise his voice but sometimes Sirius was just so stupid. "What do you mean, you don't know what you thought?" he asked, more biting than he meant to. "You mean you only thought you wanted to kiss me?" He was teasing, somewhere in there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sexypants 2008-08-08 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	He shook his head. "No, that was definitely something I'd been bottling up for a while," he admitted quietly, staring at the ground in between them. "I just don't know what I thought, coming here. I guess I should have guessed that you wouldn't be happy having me around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	passthegoethe 2008-08-08 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	What? What? Oh no. Information overload. Remus wanted to ask how long, but first he had to deal with Sirius being an idiot. "Don't be a ponce," he said. "Did you see me when you got here? I couldn't stop smiling. You're ridiculous. I couldn't- I'm glad you're here. Really." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	passthegoethe 2008-08-09 12:03 am UTC (link)
	"You don't-" Remus sighed and walked towards Sirius, reaching out to touch his arm. His hand closed around a wrist. "You don't have to make me ride on a terrifying motorcycle to make me happy, Sirius. You just have to be here, okay? You're just- You're just fine as you are." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	passthegoethe 2008-08-09 12:56 am UTC (link)
	Remus moved closer, letting his fingers twine with Sirius'. He rested his forehead against the other boy's and whispered, "I'm sorry. I really do appreciate it, you know. I'm just, awkward. And horrible. And I don't know why you're friends with me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sexypants 2008-08-09 01:11 am UTC (link)
	He wrinkled his nose. "Why wouldn't I be friends with you?" he asked, squeezing his fingers. "You're my best friend. I can't not be friends with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	passthegoethe 2008-08-09 01:25 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know," Remus admitted, squeezing Sirius' fingers back. He really had very nice hands. He really was rather hopelessly in love with Sirius, he figured. He sighed. "I don't know," he repeated. And then, his head tilted up slightly to catch Sirius' mouth in another kiss. He really just couldn't stop. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
