Meet-Cute Marathon: Day 12 - A is rolling into the station of a brand new town, feeling nervous about not knowing anyone or where they should be going next - and just as A steps off the train, their bag catches on something and rips open! Contents spill everywhere. B notices and stops a (somewhat embarrassing) item from rolling onto the tracks and hands it over to A with a questioning look

Magnum XL
How do you tell a stranger that those aren't your Magnum XL condoms? Well, technically they are Sirius' but they're not meant to actually be used or anything like that. The cute man awkwardly hands them to Sirius and doesn't even comment on it.
Sirius bites his lip in order to try and explain why he has them to begin with. It's not like he anticipated his bag getting stuck on the train doors and ripping. It's his first day at Manchester and disasters have already befallen him.
But Sirius has never been one to be able to successfully bite his tongue. "It's just a joke," he explains, waving the condoms in the air and causing an even bigger scene. "My mate James got them for me as a gag gift. I forgot he slipped them into my bag."
You are so embarrassing. Stop talking now.
Luckily, the cute man smiles softly. "It's okay. I kind of figured that out." Amber eyes widen and it's adorable how the other man shakes his head. "Oh, god, not like I was checking out your, uh, size. Not to say that you aren't worthy of being checked out and stuff. I mean, you're handsome and I'm sure the condoms are like, mostly accurate and not a total reach."
Sirius blinks, and the cute guy and he lock eyes before they both burst out laughing. "I'm a mess. So sorry," Sirius finally says. "My name's Sirius. I've just started over at Man U and I haven't got a clue of what I'm doing."
"I'm Remus, and I'm also in my first year," the cute man replies, smiling. "Are you heading over there right now? We could go together if you'd like."
Sirius is quick to take his offer and they start their journey to the campus. Remus, formerly known as the cute man because of his soft fringe and brown cardigan, is incredibly sweet and wants to be a teacher. It melts Sirius' heart. And if they have a date later on this week that might involve regular sized condoms that's their business.
