This is a drabble I posted a LONG time ago on my LJ (indigo_melodies), but I thought I would stick it over here as well. Mostly because I'm trying to get my account allowed as beta reader, but anywho…
In response to a Writer's Block prompt on LJ: "What should cheese go on, and what should cheese NOT go on?"
-x-
Remus stared in disbelief as Sirius vigorously shook the shaker of parmesan over his pizza. This was evidently too slow for him, as a moment later he just unscrewed the top and dumped it all over his paper plate.
"Sirius, how can you bear to eat so much cheese?" Remus asked incredulously, taking a bite of his own unaltered slice. "I mean, there's already tons of cheese on that pizza!"
"Easy," Sirius replied, his mouth half-full of pizza.
Remus blinked. "Easy? That's not an answer," he protested.
Sirius just grinned, displaying a mouthful of cheese; Remus groaned in response. "But Moony, don't you know the moon's made of cheese?" Sirius asked after swallowing.
"What has that got to do with anything?"
"Well, you see, being a werewolf and all, maybe if you ate a whole wheel of cheese before the full moon, it wouldn't affect you anymore and you wouldn't transform!" Sirius looked ridiculously proud, as if the theory he had just stated made perfect sense.
Remus stared, tempted to bang his head on the table. "Sirius, that has got to be the most absurd, illogical, idiotic, imbecilic idea you've had yet! And the moon isn't even made of cheese!!"
Sirius' eyes were wide. "What?? Are you SERIOUS?!" The lack of the usual Sirius/serious joke told Remus how shocked Sirius really was.
"Come on, Padfoot, did you Siriusly--I mean, seriously--sleep through every Astronomy class we've ever had? It's just made out of rock!"
"Er...I might have done, yeah..." he admitted, awkwardly rubbing the back of his head. After a pause, he looked vaguely defensive. "But cheese would be so much better!"
Remus sighed, head in his hands. Sometimes there was just no reasoning with Sirius. "I should've known..." he muttered to himself. "How did we get into this, anyway?"
With a sudden change of mood, Sirius got up and walked silently around to Remus' side of the table. The shadow bending over him made Remus look up in surprise as Sirius proceeded to snog him thoroughly. And as the strong taste of cheese filled Remus' mouth, he had to admit that maybe, just maybe, it wasn't so bad after all.
