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.

	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."

Remus' eyes closed briefly. "I have been up to nothing," he said offhandedly. "Just. You know. Reading. Things like that. What about you?"

Remus didn't like to talk about his summers. They were always long, lonely, and boring. His parents never let him go anywhere, so he always ended up laying on his bed reading book after book after book and fantasizing about going on adventures with Sirius. And James.

His forearms dropped to the counter, and Sirius relaxed by placing his chin over his entwined wrists.

Sirius shrugged. "Life at Prongs's gets kind of boring after a while. Same-old nonsense happens all the time. His mum tells me all about how I don't eat enough and I look scraggly." He yawned loudly to prove how boring it really was. "But then," his eyes lit up, "I got a new ride."

	Remus turned away from the tea pot to let it boil and brought up a stool. He mirrored Sirius almost exactly, with his chin over his wrists. "Really?" he asked. "What kind of ride? Is it that motorcycle you were banging on about?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His grin grew huge. Absolutely huge. He straightened up a little, cleared his throat, and said, "I am the proud owner of a hog." He nodded, punched his chest to prove his manliness, and put his chin over his wrists again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Remus raised an eyebrow. "A hog? You mean like an animal? Did you enchant a hog to fly, Sirius?" He knew perfectly well that Sirius hadn't. He just liked to give him a hard time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sirius let out a heavy breath. "An enchanted, flying motorcycle, Remus," he said, rolling his eyes. "Like duh." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	passthegoethe 2008-08-08 04:47 am UTC (link)
	Oh God. Right in his face. Remus straightened up, shying away from Sirius' dog breath. "Merlin, Sirius. Watch it with the dog breath, yeah?" Ugh. That was disgusting. "And I knew you meant a motorcycle," he thought to add. "I just love pulling your leg." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He made a face. "Sorry," he whispered. Sirius had forgotten temporarily. "I ran before I rode Stella." Sirius slowly grinned at that. "Remus, you're such a jerk," he teased, punching him in the arm playfully. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes, well, I can get you a breath mint if you'd like one," Remus offered. He didn't want to offend Sirius. Not when Sirius was a guest in his home.

"Ow!" he exclaimed. "I am not a jerk. You're a jerk." Remus hit the other boy back. Even though Remus hadn't hit him particularly hard, it still hurt. Remus was a werewolf, so most of the time he didn't know his own strength.

	Sirius wrinkled his nose. "It's not THAT bad, is it?" he asked self-consciously. Rubbing his arm, he complained, "Ow! Are you on STEROIDS or something, Moony? What the hell!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, no," Remus told him, waving a hand. "It's fine. Forget I mentioned anything." "Werewolf," he said with a shrug. "I'm sorry. Want me to kiss it and make it better?" ...Why on Earth had he suggested that? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I do!" he teased. But. Oh my God. He just said that. Oh shite, what did he just commit to? Sirius's eyes grew wide, and he even felt himself blush a little. "Er." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Remus froze. He was frozen. He couldn't move. What had he just said? Why in bloody hell would he suggest a thing like that? What was wrong with him? Remus! he thought, Why don't you think more?! He cleared his throat. "Er." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sexypants 2008-08-08 06:23 am UTC (link)
	Sirius cleared his throat at precisely the same time. "Maybe we'll just... leave it at that instead, yeah?" he asked awkwardly, scratching the back of his neck and staring determinedly at the counter, counting the specks of paint. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Remus laughed nervously. It was high and unnatural and it came out of his mouth every time he felt uncomfortable. He hated it. Shut up, brain. "I. Er. Yeah," he finally agreed. "That's much better." Remus didn't want to kiss his best mate, did he? No. Of course not. Wait. Did he? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
