Rated M (sorta?): Boy/Boy slash - you've been warned. (It's at the end so no worries..)
I'm really kinda aggervated with this chapter! It sorta drags on, my muse is just being horrible right now. I think it's because it knows I'm trying to draw out time before Orion's death. (For those of you who didn't know it was coming...oops spoiler?)
Taking a taxi was the best way to get to the bar, the whole time in the cab Sirius was glancing out the window drumming his fingers against his leg. It wasn't often Sirius found himself in a car, rolling down London streets. And the way the lights danced against the glass made a beautiful picture.
Remus was sitting across from him, just watching him. He felt sometimes Sirius didn't understand just how beautiful he was. His constant movement was just one of the few things Remus always thought was rather sexy, weither it was a foot tapping or drumming his fingers. It was that bit of constant movement that let Remus know Sirius was happy. If the boy was ever still something was gravely wrong.
"Remy?"
"Yes," Remus didn't break his line of sight as Sirius continued to stare out the window. "Think we could walk home tonight?"
"Are you going to be sober enough to walk four miles?"
"Good point," Sirius laughed as he smiled looking back at Remus, "What?" he raised an eyebrow "something on me?"
"No, just…taking in the beauty." Remus chuckled leaning back. He rolled his eyes at Sirius' chuckle. "London is beautiful isn't it? No place I'd rather be." Sirius smiled.
There were times Remus could swear Sirius ignored his looks on purpose. Despite the smile that slipped on his face "Nor I."
When the two boys finally reached Piccadilly Sirius' fingers drummed harder, and Remus' grin grew wider. His heart raced with the beat of Sirius' fingers, the lights glare that touched Sirius' face caused him to glow. That was a picture Remus could get used to for the rest of his life.
"Come on daydreamer," Sirius called as the car stopped in front of the bar. Once out Sirius paid the cabbie and the two looked up at the sign the two shared identical grins as Sirius opened the door, "after you."
Remus slipped inside and shook his head; of course this was one of Sirius' favorite places. Despite dating a bloke Sirius couldn't help but admire the dancers that twirled around not only on the stages but out on the floor. Of course Remus would be lying if he didn't think half of them were attractive, just none of them beat Sirius.
Remus went to take a step forward to the floor before Sirius linked his arm and pulled him forward to the bar. "Nope drink first!"
Sirius smiled at the man across the bar, the place was lit up with lights that danced with the sounds of the music that poured out of the loudspeakers. It really was a rather lovely place, despite being a very crowded bar.
"Lionel!" Sirius called over the bar as the man turned and faced him. "Oi Black! What are you doin' here!" the man gave him a big grin as he walked over shaking his hand, "Your lucky Angel ain't here mate, he'd skin you alive. Ditch his little sister like you did last time."
"Hey that lil minx of his can't take a bloody hint!" Sirius laughed pulling Remus up close. "Still with him are you?" Lionel chuckled looking Remus over, "You wait till you're done with 'em I'll snatch him up."
"Oi! I am not someone's prize. Besides I doubt you could beat Sirius here," Remus chuckled. Sirius beamed with pride. "Brainwashed this one, eh?"
"Not brainwashed," Remus smiled. "Thoroughly fucked and loved."
Lionel gave a hearty laugh before swatting at a man who reached over the bar. "Give me a moment fella's Harvey's girl here just ran and left him with nothing."
It took Lionel twenty minutes to get back from his duties at the bar, sliding the two boys a drink. Remus eyed the drink with a curious glance they were black in color and smelled like honey. But something about the drink caused him to second guess it.
"Their called Black Cats," Lionel chuckled watched the two boys eye their drinks like opposing wands. "Lil bit of firewhiskey, Dragon's breath and honey oil." Sirius eyed the drink one more time before taking it with one head toss had it down. He shuttered as he glared at Lionel.
"Black Cat's eh?"
"Aye, you heard me right." he smiled, "I promise no tricks! My own creation."
"Sounds about like it. Go on Remus take a swig it's harmless." Sirius smiled, "bring me another you magical mixer you. That actually was a rather interesting drink."
Remus sighed and took a sip; it wasn't something he normally drank. Typically it was a firewhiskey or butterbeer. Once in the while something muggle or a Winged Scotch but this was something he'd never really imagined drinking.
"Not half bad is it," Lionel leaned over the counter eyeing Remus like he was prey. "Hey…my man, get your own." Sirius snorted pulling Remus closer. Lionel was normally a harmless flirt but there were times he tended to step on Sirius' toes and it never ended well. Lionel put his hands up, "Just watching him is all. I'm a good lad I swear."
"Better be," Sirius took another drink and smiled. "So what's the news down in here Dilly?"
"Nothing much, heard about your brother, sorry bout that." Sirius nodded and sighed, "Yea it's a shame…really."
"It's Halloween," Remus chuckled. "Buck up, let's celebrate."
"Yes" Lionel grinned, "Go out and dance be sexy. Though you already are so…make yourselves all sexier." he laughed. "I'll sit here behind the bar and be bored."
Sirius took Remus' hand and grinned, "You do that Leo. Come on love, dance time." Remus' groans of protest went unnoticed, because soon the two were grinding against each other their bodies moving with the music.
The music thundered over their heads as they laughed dancing together, it felt good just to get in the middle of a crowd of happy people. Who were just lost in the music and the moment, to lose themselves, to forget who they were other than who they were in that moment.
They were lovers and best friends and right now pressed against one another they just were. They were madly in love, young and crazy. And nothing in this world was going to bring them down. And it felt pretty damn good to be there, the two of them wrapped in each others arms and dancing there.
The danced and drank for hours, it was well after midnight when the two sat back down for good. Remus was drenched in sweat when he sat down again that the bar leaning rather heavily on Sirius, the two were laughing over something that had been said on the way back to the barstool.
"Seems you two had a rather well off time." Lionel chuckled as he cleaned a glass.
Sirius rolled his eyes as he tapped the bar, "Two more of your lovely drink. Before I drag Remus off for some more of that rated R dancing of his." Sirius purred nipping at Remus' ear. Lionel rolled his eyes before he tended to his drink making.
"I was thinking," Remus twirled Sirius' dog tags between his fingers, "why don't we head home and, do something more…" Remus pulled Sirius close to him and purred, "X rated."
Sirius' eyes widened as any brain function ceased and desisted and the blood ran to his loins like thoroughbreds running the Kentucky Derby. He gave a quiet groan before giving Remus one of his signature secret smiles.
The glasses clinking on the counter caused Sirius to shiver, one more drink and it'd be home and, he glanced and Remus and threw his drink back. He would be wiggling under his man in a few moments. "Leo, be a good man and get my bill. Remus and I are about to head out."
"I thought-"
"Change of plans," Remus purred running his fingers over the rim of his also drowned glass. Lionel starred at him wide eyed before he shook his head, "lucky bastards." He chuckled.
Remus took to the streets to hail a cab while Sirius paid; his body was running hot, and both from the idea of Sirius soon and the alcohol that was now pulsing through his veins. God it felt good to be in love, and to be loved back. Then a thought struck him, in a dazed foggy thought, how long had he and Sirius been together? Had they missed any anniversaries?
His thoughts were stopped by a pair of warm arms around him, "home." Sirius purred in his ear as a cab finally pulled to the side of the road. Remus stumbled into the cab chuckling as Sirius, who had clearly handled Lionel's concoction better than Remus had given an address.
Remus leaned against Sirius' shoulder the whole ride home, toying with him. His fingers constantly moving, touching Sirius' legs, arms, chest. And once in a while he'd place a soft kiss on Sirius' neck. Typically the man had no problem with showing public affection. But now, he squirmed and eyed Remus through the corners of his eyes. Remus was more than riled up. And Sirius would be lying if he wasn't just a little bit fearful of his lover's new found fire.
The pair couldn't even get up to their floor before Remus had him pinned against a wall devouring his mouth, and Sirius put up little fight. Only when one of the women who were a tenant on that floor told them to get a room did they pull their shirts back over their heads and slowly climb the stairs.
First landing spot for the two when they returned was the couch, after pushing Lari away from the couch did Remus shove Sirius down and bite and lick at his throat as he tore Sirius' shirt from his body. His mouth was like a fever to Sirius' body. Arching and groaning to the warmth that was licking his nipple.
"Remus," Sirius panted huskily, Remus answered his pant by grinding against Sirius' already aching body. Sirius' teeth sunk into his lip as he bit down on his arching up. Who was this and what had they done to Remus Lupin?
He gasped when Remus unstraddled him and walked towards the bedroom, "come get me," he purred as he walked. Sirius went lightheaded as he took to his feet and raced after Remus. Remus gave him a grin as he crawled up on the bed. And soon they were at it again.
Sirius was on his back, arched up and groaning as Remus ran hot kisses over his body. Sirius' pants were thrown somewhere past the bed, lost in the darkness of their room. Remus was about to go down on him when he looked up at Sirius to see his eyes shut.
"Sirius?" Remus whispered he nudged the boy and Sirius gave out a sigh. Out cold.
"You're fucking kidding me right?" Remus flopped back on the bed and glared at his now peacefully sleeping lover, he had half an intent to grab his wand and drown his ass in freezing cold water, right there on his still rather active cock.
But he decided against it, his now tired body simply refused the idea. And after changing he curled into bed, gave Sirius another dirty look before snuggling close to him "Tomorrow your gonna pay me back, asshole" and with another humph of aggravation closed his eyes. Yes tomorrow morning would come and Sirius Black would pay for it.
