Written for the Statego Challenge. My Prompt: Flamingly-Gay!Remus
I really struggled with this actually, so it might not really fit the prompt as much as it should...
Sirius' Birthday
Sirius Black watched his sales team leave the office and loosened his tie. It wasn't long until James Potter came over to him.
"Still want to go out tonight?" James asked.
"Only if I pick the place," Sirius insisted.
"Last time you picked the place, a man offered to suck me off when I went to the toilet," James complained.
"Nothing wrong with a free blowjob," Sirius replied in amusement. "That place was a bit... I picked there because I heard that... okay, I picked badly. But this club I've found... it's not seedy like that. It's got great reviews and everything. I've done my research!"
"Fine," James sighed. "How about we go to a pub nearby first?"
"So you can pick someone up? Sure," Sirius agreed. "Now go away, Lupin is supposed to drop off a list of customers who are interested in upgrading."
"Like he does every Friday," James said. "You know he'd just leave them on your desk if you weren't here."
"I know," Sirius replied. "But he takes all the time to come over this side of the building with the list..."
"I don't get that. Why don't you just ask him to email it to you?"
"I kept losing them, I get a lot of emails," Sirius explained, his cheeks reddening.
"Uh-huh," James said, narrowing his eyes slightly. "And he doesn't send them in the internal post?"
"Internal post sometimes doesn't arrive until lunchtime. I need them first thing in the morning," Sirius replied.
"Yet you don't call them first thing... you fancy him," James accused.
"I do not."
"You do," James said. "How did I not see it before. You like the nerdy guy in accounting. This is just too perfect."
"He's straight, so nothing will come from it."
The door swung open and a familiar man with messy dark blonde hair stepped through and looked in his direction.
"I'll pull the car up," James said, heading out. Sirius heard him greet Remus Lupin on his way past, and Sirius took the time to smooth down his suit without Remus noticing.
"Lupin, right on time," he said, standing up from his desk.
"Black," Remus replied, a soft smile on his face. "Not so many today unfortunately. A couple of cancellations too."
"Right, well we'll deal with them. Thank you," Sirius replied.
"So... much planned this weekend?" Remus asked.
"It's my birthday tomorrow, so me and Potter are going out tonight to celebrate," Sirius said. "Tomorrow our parents have tickets for all of us to go to something, so we have to do it tonight. What about you?"
"Just a quiet night out with friends," Remus said. "I hope you have a great birthday."
"Thanks. Have a good evening," Sirius offered.
When Remus had left the room, Sirius scolded himself for not asking Remus to come out with them. He quickly shut his computer down and headed outside, managing to catch a glimpse of Remus leaning on the Receptionist's desk, as Lily giggled at something he had said.
"Have a great weekend, Lily," he said. "See you both Monday."
"Bye Sirius," they both replied.
...oOo...
"Anyone caught your eye?" James asked.
Sirius sighed, shaking his head and pouring himself some of the jug of cocktail from the middle of the table.
"Not yet, but I'm sure someone will by the end of the night," he replied. "Come on Alice, want to dance for a bit?"
"No, she's staying here to protect me," Frank insisted.
Sirius grinned and grabbed Alice's hand. "You're on your own, Frank," he said, leading Alice to dance.
...oOo...
"The one in red is checking you out," Alice said, as she danced with Sirius. He glanced behind him.
"Too short," Sirius said, turning back. "Wait." He looked back again, past the guy in the red shirt.
"Let's dance over here," he said.
Alice obediently followed.
Sirius situated himself so he had a good view of the back of the man who had caught his attention. Tall and skinny with a perfect arse squeezed into the tightest jeans that Sirius had seen in his life. A plain white t-shirt completed his perfect look.
Sirius was transfixed by the way the man moved, and he wasn't the only one. It was like this stranger was putting on a show. How could anyone look that seductive when dancing?
Sirius didn't need to see the front of him to know that this was the man he wanted to take home and just peel those jeans off him. Sirius let out a whimper at the thoughts that started racing through his mind as he wondered how this man would move underneath him.
"Him?" Alice asked and Sirius nodded.
As Sirius contemplated how to approach him, the man seemed to slow slightly before stopping. He walked off to the bar, ignoring he dance partner calling after him.
Sirius followed, James quickly intercepting Sirius, diverting his attention.
"Mate, look." He pointed across the room to a familiar redhead who had locked lips with a familiar blonde.
"It's Lily," James said. "Lily and Marlene."
"Nah, Lily and Lupin are..."
He trailed off as the blonde pulled away. "Crap, it is them."
"That would explain why Lily never liked me," James muttered. "Well, Narcissa is waiting at the table for me, I better..."
"Yeah..." Sirius watched him leave and headed for the bar, stopping close to where his stranger stood.
"You look good," another man was saying to him. "Amazing..."
"Fabulous is what you're looking for," his future bedmate offered.
"You want to come back to mine?"
"Bitch, please. After last time?"
"But..."
"Look sweetheart, I don't want a repeat of that mess," the stranger said, turning and walking back to the dancefloor without getting a drink.
Sirius quickly followed, determined that he was going to be the one to dance with and leave with this guy.
Before the man had a chance to seek out a dance partner, and Sirius knew that there were a lot of men checking him out, Sirius pressed up behind him.
"It's my birthday," he murmured into the man's ear. "Dance with me?"
The man didn't respond, but pressed back against Sirius, moving his hips, and Sirius had to hold back a gasp at the sensation. He held the man's hips following his dancing, more determined than ever to take this stranger home.
He bravely leaned in, letting his breath tease the man's ear. "It's not my birthday until tomorrow actually, care to ring it in with me?"
"What did you have in mind?" Came the shaky whisper, and Sirius pressed his erection even harder against the man.
"Fuck," the man hissed, feeling how large Sirius was. He turned around and his eyes met Sirius' and they both froze their movements.
"Lupin?"
"Black?"
They stared at each other for a long moment. "I... you're gay?" Sirius blurted out.
"Very gay," Remus replied.
"Fuck, we've worked together for six months and I've been convinced you were straight."
Remus began to bite his lip and Sirius was desperate to take over.
"You've been teasing me all night with your dancing, and you've been teasing me for six months with those sexy cardigans. Come back to mine," Sirius demanded.
"But a one-night stand with a colleague -"
"Do you think I'll be finished with you in one night?" Sirius asked, his gaze slowly dragging down Remus' body. "If I knew you liked men, I'd have asked you out on a date six months ago."
"A date?" Remus echoed. "But what about James Potter?"
"What about him?" Sirius asked, confused.
"You and him... I thought..."
Sirius was still confused.
"You refer to your parents as both of yours, you keep joking about him checking out your arse, you live together, eat lunch together..."
Sirius started laughing. "James is my cousin," he said. "I ran away from home and moved in with him and his parents, they are like my own."
Remus blushed. "Sorry, I -"
"It doesn't matter. I'm completely single and I want you. I want to take you home and get you into my bed. I want to take you on a date - breakfast in the morning will be our first." Sirius pulled him closer and ghosting his lips over Remus'.
"You say that like you expect there to be more than one," Remus whispered.
"Of course there will be more than one," Sirius murmured, closing the slight distance between their lips.
This is the best I could do with the prompt. Hope it wasn't too bad.
