Last night had been filled with uncertainty and excitement. They had just graduated from Hogwarts, passed their NEWTs and said their good-byes. While the rest of their year went home to their parents' house for the summer, Remus and Sirius had had nowhere to go. Nowhere except the small apartment they rented in the last days of the term.
Their bedroom was depressingly empty, just a bed, dresser and a few boxes of their things. They could hardly believe it was theirs- not that it would be for long if they didn't find a job quickly.
Last night James had thrown them a small flat-warming party before he had to leave again to go home and start packing. He and Lily were looking for their own flat. When he had finally left, the two had fallen tiredly into bed, sharing nothing more than a few chaste kisses before drifting asleep.
The following morning, Sirius had woken with the sun- he couldn't sleep in the light. His eyes blinked blearily to what was in his mind, the vision of perfection (Remus would scoff and call him over-dramatic when he told him later). Remus was snuggled close against him, his head on the corner of Sirius' pillow.
The sun reflected off his hair, causing a golden glow. He loved Remus best like this- totally relaxed and comfortable. Just laying around with Sirius. He gently brushes the hair that had fallen into Remus' eyes away.
"Wakey, wakey, beautiful." He chuckles quietly. Remus blinks blearily, stretching and snuggling backwards into Sirius.
"Mmmm… sleepy." He closes his eyes, trying to get back to sleep. Remus is not a morning person. At all.
"Nope! Get up!" Sirius pulls the covers back, exposing Remus' bare chest.
"NEH! Sirius!" Remus turns to face him, his brow furrowed grumpily. Sirius tickles his sides, making him squirm.
"No. I'm hungry, and you make the best pancakes." His says with finality. Remus stretches one final time, awake at last, then sighs.
"The things I do for you." He shakes his head jokingly, swinging his legs off the bed and sitting up.
"You know you love me!" Sirius says smugly, folding his hands behind his head and laying back. Remus pulls the pillow out from under him and smacks him with it.
"C'mon, go make yourself useful and find the forks."
