Remus stared at his computer screen. He was a prolific romance novelist with 31 books under his name. Seven of them had made the Bestseller list. He could do this.
His fingers hovered over his keyboard, and he sighed, letting his hands drop onto the table. He had a new editor and was meeting the man for the first time in just a couple of hours. Obviously, his nerves were getting the better of him and interfering with his ability to write anything worthwhile.
He closed his eyes, but when he heard a sultry voice say, "Well, hello there," he curiously opened them.
Remus opened his mouth as a black-haired man with lovely grey eyes sat across from him. "Um, h-hello," he stuttered and immediately wanted to smack himself on the head.
The man smirked, obviously aware of the effect he was having on Remus. "What beautiful amber eyes you have," he complimented.
Remus did his best to fight off the blush, but he wasn't sure if he actually succeeded. "T-thank you."
The man's interested eyes searched his face. "What's your name?" he asked, his voice a mere husky whisper.
Remus licked his lips. "Remus Lupin."
The man's eyes became playful and delighted all at the same time. "Really? What a nice name."
"Do I get your name?" Remus asked, closing his laptop so he could lean forward, resting his arms lightly on the computer. He knew he was flirting. It wasn't something he did often, but the man seemed to be bringing out that side of him.
"Maybe."
"What do I have to do to get a name?" Remus asked.
"Agree to go on a date with me."
Remus laughed. "And why should I do that?"
"I guarantee you would have an amazing time," the man bragged.
It sounded conceited, but for some reason, Remus believed it to be the truth. He bit his bottom lip, thinking about it. Should he go on a date with a guy that was a complete stranger?
The fluttering of butterflies in his stomach decided it for him. "Okay. I'll go on a date with you. Friday night."
The man grinned widely. "Great!"
"So, can I get the name of the man I'm going on a date with?"
Now his grin was particularly wicked. "Sirius Black.
It took a minute for Remus to figure out why the name was so familiar. "My new editor."
Sirius shrugged. "I came early, and I have to say, I like what I see. I knew you wouldn't say 'yes' if you knew who I was. Now, you can't change your mind. We're going on a date."
Remus wanted to be outraged, but when Sirius took his hand, he found he couldn't muster the energy to even fake the emotion. "You're lucky you're so charming," Remus stated sarcastically.
Sirius's answer was to simply smile.
