"Sirius, why in the name of Circe are we here?" Severus Snape asked his boyfriend whilst trying to weave through a crowd of muggles.
"Because Severus dear, it's a learning experience," Severus scoffed, "and it'll be fun."
"I highly doubt that." Sirius stopped suddenly, causing Severus to as well. The people behind the two men swore, and pushed their way past. He grabbed Severus' hand suddenly and pulled him to a booth directly to their left.
"Severus, what's this?" Severus rolled his eyes, as the booth owner gave Sirius a strange look.
"It's a game; you throw some balls at those bottles and see if you can knock them over."
"I want to play!" Sirius exclaimed.
"What a surprise." Severus said sarcastically. He handed the man behind the counter two pounds, Sirius thanked Merlin that his boyfriend understood the muggle ways to deal with money, he never could figure it out. The owner handed them three balls each.
Sirius looked at Severus, "you first." Severus smirked, and threw the ball; it hit the bottles toppling them. The man handed him a small stuffed bear, and Severus backed up to let Sirius try.
Sirius looked confidently at his boyfriend, and threw the ball. It missed by mere inches. Severus tried to disguise his chuckle with a cough, Sirius wasn't fooled. He threw the ball again and once again missed.
Severus decided it was time to intervene, or he wouldn't get a peaceful nights rest. He pulled his wand out carefully, so that the owner and Sirius couldn't see. He muttered a quick spell just as the ball was released from Sirius' hand. The ball moved a rapid pace, hitting the bottles in the center of the small tower, knocking them over perfectly.
Severus stowed his wand back in his pocket just before Sirius turned to him, pride strewn across his face. "I did it," he yelled jumping into Severus' arms, hugging him fiercely.
"Yes honey you did," Severus said, ignoring the horrible glares from passersby. He heard one say 'fags' harshly under his breath. He really did hate muggles.
Sirius grabbed the stuffed turtle the booth owner was holding at arm's length. Severus smiled as Sirius clutched it close to him. "I think I'll name it…speedy."
"Cute and original," Severus said; "sounds vaguely familiar." Sirius smiled, and wrapping his arms around him once more, leaned in for a kiss, and ..."LOOK OVER THERE!" Sirius exclaimed pointing to a booth a couple of feet away.
"That is cotton candy; pure sugar in a fluffy form."
"I want some." He demanded, walking towards the booth.
"No, I really don't think you need more sugar." Severus reasoned, staying put despite Sirius' strong pull.
"Come on Sev I'll share."
"No thank you, you may choose to rot your teeth from the inside out, but I will not."
Sirius stuck out his bottom lip in a pout, which was something Severus could never resist. "Please?" Severus rolled his eyes, and followed Sirius to the stand.
"Two please."
"One will be just fine," Severus said sternly. Severus paid and watched as Sirius devoured the sugary product.
"I need a drink." The animagus stated. Severus bought him water, with great protest from Sirius, he said he wanted alcohol.
"Are we done now?" Severus asked hopefully after buying Sirius a pretzel. "I want to go home."
"But Sev…"
Severus snapped. "Sirius no, I'm tired, and quickly running out of money, and you can barely hold any of your 'must-have' items."
"Well you're the one with the bloody income, Mr. Potions-Master." Sirius said tartly, and Severus narrowed his eyes.
'You're the one with the fortune, bloody pure-blood." Severus hissed.
Sirius scowled. "It's all in wizarding money!" Sirius shouted, and people started to stare, granting them a wide girth as they walked by.
"Sirius, keep your voice down, I'm not in the mood to obliviate a ton of muggles." Sirius scoffed, and Severus all but growled.
"Fine, I'm going home," Sirius walked away from Severus. Severus could barely keep up with his lover, he turned a sharp comer and saw Sirius just as he dissaparated, he followed suit.
"Finally," Severus cried out, entering their cottage on the English country side. Sirius stormed around the tiny room, throwing his coat, and items on the floor and couch. He stomped into the kitchen; Severus followed stepping over Sirius' disregarded prizes.
"Sirius, what are you doing?" He asked calmly, sitting at the table watching his boyfriend.
"Making lunch," Sirius said picking up a rather large pot, and slamming it upon the stove.
"And you're doing this the muggle way because…"
"Because if I pick up a wand right now, I might do something I'll regret." He said sourly.
Severus stood, and stopped Sirius in his tracks by putting his arms around the other man. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have insulted you like that."
Sirius took a deep breath and molded into the hug, fitting perfectly in Severus' arms. "No it's my fault, I shouldn't have shouted, or asked for so much."
Severus couldn't help but agree, but voicing it would only result in another tiff, so he lifted Sirius' chin slightly so that he could look into the beautiful blue eyes he'd fallen in love with. He leaned in and touched his lips Sirius'. He broke away slowly. "Let's go upstairs and you can show me how sorry you are." Severus said smirking. Sirius smiled brightly and grabbed his hand; Severus followed him up to their bedroom.
