Pairing: Remus & Sirius & James & Peter
Length: Double Drabble
A Marauder Birthday Tradition
Remus awoke abruptly on his 20th birthday...in the small flat he shared with Sirius...to the sound of horrendous off-key singing. His eyes automatically opened at the racket, but he immediately closed them again after glimpsing the scene next to his bed.
"Do you really have to do this every year?" he groaned.
"Oh, come on, Moony," Sirius cajoled after he and the other two Marauders had finished their individual rounds...all to different caterwauling tunes...of the birthday song. "We get the pleasure," here he waggled his eyebrows ridiculously even though Remus still had his eyes shut, "of seeing you starkers every month during your special time. The least we can do is return the favor once a year."
"No, the least you could do is put on some trousers," Remus retorted as he cracked his eyes open again to see that he had been correct the first time. His friends were still standing there...as naked as the day they were born...and grinning at him after their silly serenade - just as they had done on every March 10th since they had discovered his furry little secret.
By Merlin, he loved those idiot brothers of his, though!
