The music picked up once again much to the annoyance of Sirius. He tugged at his tuxedo jacket once again in an effort to make himself feel more comfortable but the fabric rubbed against his skin awkwardly that he just couldn't make it feel any sort of normal. Remus smoothed his hands over Sirius' shoulders in an attempt to placate him as the 'dates' they had brought to the event led them to the dance floor.

Remus watched Sirius the best he could as he worked his way though the complex dance to intervene if the annoyance that his lover exhibited decided to bubble over. Sirius gritted something unintelligible though his teeth before breaking away from the shell shocked looking girl. He worked his way though the tangle of bodies that cluttered the floor to meet up where Remus stopped to twirl his own dance partner

"May I cut in?" Sirius asked politely. The girl looked at him curiously but started to reach out for his extended hand. Sirius immediately retreated it away from her before turning to Remus. "That is if you don't mind, Remus." Remus laughed wholeheartedly but stepped closer to Sirius and picked up a slower paced version of the dance.

"Sirius, you can't keep up appearances anymore, can you?" Remus chastised lightly. "To think we made it though two years without our friends knowing about us and now you can't even go one night without keeping up pretenses. It seems you have lost your touch." Sirius leaned in for an unabashed kiss and leaned his forehead as they slowed to a standstill

"You want to get out of here?" A discreet squeezed to Remus' backside gave him all the answer he needed as they stumbled clumsily out the back door towards home.
