Remus wasn't a social person, in fact, he can count the amount of university parties he's attended on one hand. So when James, one of his best friends and roommates, insisted on having a "Fuck You Exam Season Party"Remus had immediately began shaking his head in disapproval.
"No, no, no, Lupin don't you start shaking your head i can FEEL the negative energy radiating off your body." James had turned over his shoulder and began talking to their other roommate, Sirius.
"Sirius! Did he roll his eyes once i turned around? I know he did, I just know it! It's like i have a radar that can detect that famous Remus Lupin Eye-roll"
James often spoke with his hands while he talked, his entire body language speaking for him.
Sirius gave Remus a look of shock, looking between the two boys as if he were their overworked mother. Putting his hand on his hip and jabbing his finger in Remus' face, Sirius said, "Lupin! Apologize to James at once, you know how lethal those eye rolls are. Have you no shame?"
James scoffed from his stance next to Sirius and stomped his foot, "I KNEW HE ROLLED HIS EYES"
Remus responded sarcastically, "James, I'm sorry i tried to kill you with my eyes."
James slapped him on the back, forcing Remus to drop his book and shoot him another death glare.
"Yikes, scary. Anyways, it'll just be us and the girls! I'll even let you choose the music, David Bowie and all the old music you play with that ancient record player you insisted stays in the living room."
"Alright, alright. We can host the party. Stop giving me that pouty face, Black! It doesn't always work"
Sirius had chuckled, and the three boys went to buy food and drinks for later that night. ——-
Remus has to admit, he's enjoying himself right now. He watches as his three roommates attempt to do one of those cheerleading pyramids. A loud burst of cheering tells Remus they've succeeded.
James and his messy brown hair is at the very top of the pyramid, round glasses hanging off his ear and cheeks flushed red with alcohol and laughter. Sirius is underneath James' right knee, he yells at James to watch the leather jacket as he runs his fingers through his long, black hair. Peter is underneath James' other knee, his dirty blonde hair clinging to his face with sweat.
Lily, Mary, and Marlene were responsible for the loud cheering. The three girls stood to the side of the human pyramid, equally as drunk and happy to watch. Remus watches his friends with a huge smile on his face, happy to be in their presence.
Remus has been best friends with Lily Evans since elementary . He and Lily were inseparable from the start, meeting each other at the emergency room when they were 8 after Remus stapled his thumb and Lily fell out of her backyard tree.
Lily always says "Nothing beats a friendship that starts with an injury" Realizing they were neighbors and going to the same school, Remus and Lily were like two peas in a pod. She was there for Remus through it all: his surgery, his recovery, prom, coming out, college... and on. Remus wishes everyone in life has a Lily Evans.
He met Sirius, James, and Peter about a week before University started, when they all moved into their shared dorm room. Immediately, it felt like Peter and Remus were the outcasts. You'd think James and Sirius were twins with all the brotherly energy flowing between them. James being brown with curly hair and Sirius being pale with straight, black hair knocked some common sense into Remus. Eventually, the three roommates all became like family, the best friends Remus had ever made outside of Lily.
Mary and Marlene were Lily's roommates. Remus and Lily being so close to each other caused a merge between the two groups and eventually, everyone was close with everyone. It was a funny beginning, actually. James was immediately attracted to Lily, and Lily hated his big ego and "stupid face". It took a few years for James to win Lily over, but Remus knew Lily would've never made him wait long enough to move on. If Remus didn't believe in soulmates before, taking one good look at his best friends together was enough to believe. They complimented each other
perfectly and were over-the-moon in love, it was annoyingly cute.
Remus noticed he was daydreaming for quite a while, so he put his drink down and walked over to where Lily was giving him a puzzled look.
"Hey, Lils. Everything alright?"
"Fine, fine. Just noticed you've been staring at Sirius for quite a while." She said, nonchalantly.
Remus felt his face become hot, blaming the flush of his cheeks on the heat of the the room. Sometimes he did find himself staring at the other boy. Watching him when he ruffled his hair while studying, seeing the way he bit his lip when he was frustrated, noticing the slight raise of his eyebrows when he was surprised.
"You're doing it again, Lupin"
Remus gasps sarcastically, "May I ask what I've done wrong?"
"You have that love-sick puppy thing going on right now"
"I do NOT look like a love-sick puppy" Remus huffed.
They never talked about it, about Remus' attraction to Sirius. Lily knew though, she somehow always knew.
"Whatever you say, Remus." Lily smiled, "What's going on over there?"
They walked over to the couch in the living room where James was being crowded by the rest of their friends.
Remus towers over the crowd and looks at James, who was showing everyone some sort of dancing video he made.
"So I was in class and the guy next to me is watching a video so I ask him about it, right? He says it's this app called TikTok where you can post whatever the hell you want. i IMMEDIATELY downloaded it. "
"There's this whole world out there and Daddy James needs to know what's going on!" James' over enthusiastic voice booms through the room, and Sirius cuts him off before he can go on.
"If you call yourself 'Daddy' again, i will personally kick your ass" "Kinky, I see how you like it " James responds with a wink. Everyone laughs and Sirius shrugs and winks back at James.
Sirius meets Remus' eyes while everyone else focuses back on the video playing on James' phone. Unable to keep up the eye contact, Remus tells Sirius,
"Black , I'd like to see you in one of these videos"
"OH MY GOD I'VE BEEN DYING TO GET SOMEONE TO BE IN A THIRST TRAP VIDEO WITH ME. REMUS, I COULD KISS YOUR BEAUTIFUL BRAIN" James yells out.
"Thirst trap?" Lily asks, trying to hide her smile in a not-so-convincing disappointed face. James pulls out his phone and shows us a video of an attractive guy in a colorful room. He
transitions to different camera angles, the lights changing color and his facial expressions serious.
Remus can't even deny it, that was hot. Like, really hot. The girls all think so too, demanding that James re plays the video again and again.
"C'mon Sirius,it's super easy, I'll show you. I learned the transitions and I even set up the lights in my room!! You'll have all the guys thirsting over you in a heartbeat!" James grabbed Sirius' hand to drag him to their room. Sirius trudged along, looking at Remus like a sad puppy.
"Kill me with those looks, Black" Remus yelled over his shoulder.
Remus and Lily laugh as the door closes and they decide to play Uno to pass the time.
Eventually, the door opens to a yelling James.
"HOT DAMN. I think I started drooling, i had to wipe my chin. We look HOT guys." He turns to Sirius.
"Sirius i'm begging you to run me over with a four wheeler, please. I'll say thank you, your highnes-"
Mary cuts him off, laughing. "Oh god, we HAVE to see this!"
Remus looks to Sirius, his sad puppy eyes obviously gone and an arrogant smirk on his face. He noted the eyeliner and black lipstick Sirius had put on since first entering the room.
"You look that good, huh Black? Care to share with the class?" Remus says to Sirius. Sirius takes the phone from James' hands and the music starts playing.
My ex say I'm tripping
The money made me different
I say "you just addicted, because of what a..."
The lights are blue and James is in the frame, holding the phone in the mirror with an unsteady hand. The camera transitions to Sirius hovering over the phone with red lights
Do you like this position?
James again, he's looking up at the camera while laying on the bed.
Do you like this position?
Another transition, Sirius is holding the phone to his profile and looking to the side.
Is that sip you sipping get you interested in kissing women?
Transitions to both James and Sirius looking to the right of the camera.
Fuck your inhibition? Fuck your inhibition?
Holy fuck, remus thinks with his eyebrows raised and jaw wide open. "Holy fuck, indeed" Mary responds.
Remus quickly closes his mouth, not realizing he said that out loud. He looks over to find Sirius studying his face, looking like he was watching him the entire time.
Remus coughed, trying to play off his shocked expression. "I told you we look good" James says.
"Potter, you're lucky i'm on birth control or else I'd be having your baby right here, right now" Lily replies, staring at James.
Mary and Peter whistle while clapping loudly and Remus still can't bring himself to lower his eyes brows.
Keeping his feelings under the water while with his friends has gotten easier, but that video makes drunk Remus think some not-so-friend-like thoughts about Sirius. He takes a deep breath, shakes his head, and walks over to james.
"You need to post that, like, immediately"
So, James posts the video and they continue their drunken night.
——-
"OH. MY. GOD"
It's 9 o'clock in the morning and Remus cannot think of a better way to stop James' yelling than a bottle of gasoline and a lighter.
Lily yelling out "What the fuck is it, Potter" snaps Remus out of his arson filled day dream and he focuses his attention on James jumping in a way that makes his hungover brain hurt.
"Sirius, come here. They love us, LOVE us. We literally have half a million likes"
From the pile of pillows on the floor, Sirius yells out a muffled cheer, "Half a million? Holy shit!" Now that everyone's somewhat awake, Remus watches as they all tackle James to grab his phone. Lily gets the phone first and announces,
"540k likes and nearly half as many comments. Sirius, those teenagers girls are gonna eat you alive! They're asking for your account!"
Lily hands the phone to Remus, and he inspects it.
"You've got thousands of fans now James! This is hilarious. I always knew you were gonna become famous first" Remus stumbles over his words as he speaks while laughing.
"Excuse me, Lupin, you always said that about me!" Sirius replies, with messy black hair going in all different directions, courtesy of the many pillows he was buried underneath.
"Well, dip shit, you both got famous so technically, i'm correct"
"Watch who you're talking to, I could get you canceled on the internet, Remus"
Remus choked on his laughter, "Like you and James won't do something stupid and end up blasted on Twitter"
"If you're done done flirting with eachother," James scoffed, "I need my best friend to make his own account so we can become the two most famous creators"
And that's how the day began. Remus ordered everyone breakfast and coffee while James and Sirius basked in their new-found fame that made their already large egos grow impossibly bigger.
———
Remus is currently half laying down on the couch, Sirius leaning over him with a felt-tip eyeliner in his hand. Sirius rests his hand on the back of Remus' neck, trying to keep his head still as he brings the eyeliner to his eye.
"Sirius," Remus sighed "I don't like pointy objects around my eye, of course i'm gonna blink!" "It's not even pointy!" Sirius argued.
"You're paying my medical bills and explaining to the doctor why I'm missing an eye" Remus snapped back, his harsh words spoken with a grin.
"I highly doubt an eyeliner will make you lose an eye"
"That guy on the news highly doubted that fork would take out his eye too, and look where that got him!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say lupin."
Remus gives up on fighting it more, opting to close his eyes and gently hum along to the music playing. He can feel Sirius' breath softly hitting his cheek as his firm hand cups his jaw, the other hand precisely moving across his eye.
The makeup is cold, he's never tried eyeliner before. "There, all done." Sirius says as Remus opens his eyes.
Remus waits for Sirius to move from where he's hovering, but Sirius doesn't. Remus, realizing he's never been this close to Sirius before, begins to notice little details on his face. The small freckle on the side of his nose, the darker specks of grey in his eyes, the small scar beneath his eyebrow, the-
Remus' thoughts are cut short by the sound of James' voice.
TikTok Video*
"Good Morning Beautiful People of TikTok! I heard today was National Best Friend's day, so obviously I had to show off my amazing friend group. Better than all of yours, no argument there"
Camera shifts to Lily, Mary, and Marlene*
"Here is my gorgeous girlfriend and her beautiful best friends starting the day off with some music and coffee! Say hi to the camera besties!"
The girls do peace signs and wave, camera shifts and moves to the couch* "And here is my brotha-from-anotha-motha, Sirius, and my best friend Remus!"
Sirius and Remus don't notice the camera at first, still in that frozen position with both boys staring and inspecting each other's features. At the sound of James' voice, they quickly jump off each other and smile to the camera"
"Hey brother, showing us off on TikTok already? I'm touched" Sirius quickly recovers, easily amusing James for his video.
"You know I never miss a chance to show you off your fine ass. Half this fame is yours! Look at you, Lupin! Trying out a new style, I see"
Remus smiles sheepishly, the camera switches to the front, James looking directly into the lens * "That's all for today folks, don't forget to appreciate your besties and give them extra love!"
End TikTok*
Remus' heart is still racing a speed that should be concerning. He and Sirius had quickly jumped up, the camera barely catching their intense gaze.He blows out a breathe of air, and walks to the kitchen with Lily.
"Are you finally embracing the Emo Remus Lupin i've been waiting to see?" Lily says as Remus approaches.
"It's eyeliner Lils, not 2000s Tumblr." Remus replies.
Mary scoffs, "Don't you shame Tumblr, Remy. I was THRIVING. Had the colored hair and everything. You look good, who did it?"
He feels his cheeks warm again, "Sirius, obviously"
James calls out to the kitchen,
"The video I posted is already getting a bunch of attention!!! Guys, come look!"
Marlene runs to the living room and takes the phone out of James' hands. She starts reading aloud all of the comments that keep flooding in.
"hey lol (louder than everyone else)"
"pick me, choose me, love me"
"don't be shy...show us the guy with the eyeliner " "tell your friends to reject me so i can move on" "couch friend has THE smile"
"Remus... these are ,like, all about you"
Remus chokes, "hUh?"
Marlene continues, "Everyone in the comments is asking for your @. Remy, you're famous!"
James immediately grabs the phone to see for himself "Remus... do you know what this means?" He asks very seriously.
"They... like my eyeliner??" Remus replies.
"NOPE! This means that you absolutely have to make a TikTok video now" James says this all very quickly, a smile taking over half his face.
"Absolutely not."
"Too bad, I just made you an account" Sirius said from behind Remus, as he holds his phone up to eye level.
"Did you seriously make our usernames match?" Remus replied.
"Well, I am always Sirius" He said with a smile, always happy to rope people into the life long joke between the word 'serious' and his name.
"C'mon, Lupin. Your account is already gaining followers from the comments and I can teach you this new dance I learned! It's easy, I swear on my life" He crosses his heart dramatically to emphasize his point.
Remus turns to face Sirius, holding his hand out,
"Hi, I'm Remus. Nice to meet you, since apparently you don't know me and don't know I absolutely cannot dance"
"Oh, piss off! You can totally pull it off, I just know it. Share your hotness with the world!"
Remus groaned, but agreed.
"Fine, fine. You're buying coffee for my massive headache as payment."
Sirius smiled like a child on Christmas morning. He grabbed Remus' hand and started walking to James' room, yelling to the group
"I'm teaching Lupin a dance! Have the milk ready for when we're done, it's gonna be spicy."
"Oh, god" Remus mumbled as James and Lily whistled loudly.
They sat on Sirius' bed and he started to slowly demonstrate.
"Okay so you're standing looking at the camera, start moving your hand in a clock like motion for the first part of the lyrics."
"Turn to the side, and start leaning as far back as you can go, put your hands in fists and rotate your
wrist like you're reclining a car seat." Sirius' flexibility was impressive.
"Drop your head backwards, put your hands on your face, and slowly move your hands down your body as you move your hips"
"And done, not too complicated right?"
Remus was flustered after watching Sirius, but he quickly recovered as he moved from his spot on the bed to mimic Sirius, using half effort.
"Perfect! Now let's switch the lights to red, and get to work" Sirius replied with a smirk.
Remus grabbed Sirius' shoulder and pushed him out of the door. "Nope, I'm gonna do it by myself or else I'll just die from embarrassment"
Sirius reluctantly walks over to James, grumbling about Remus kicking him out like a homeless cat.
Remus quickly finished the video, turning off the phone before he can see it and cringe. He walks out of the room, giving the phone back to Sirius and asking James if he missed anything.
"Everything alright, Sirius?" Mary asked as she leaned on Marlene's shoulder.
Remus and James looked over at Sirius, watching as he quickly cleared his throat and coughed, his face unusually red.
"Just fine, Mary-boo. Do you all want to see the dance??" Peter clapped and Lily yelled out "yes!"
Sirius set down the phone, and the video started playing.
I hit her in a Benz, we fuckin' all in the street
Remus lazily motions his hand like a car.
She told me to recline, so I had to let back the seat
He turns to the side, easily bending far to the ground despite his tallness.
Pull out and she sucked it, I nut all over her mink
His veins of his throat pop out as he throws his head back and sensually moves his hands down his
body, a small smirk on his face.
The room is quiet, everyone turning to see Remus looking at the celling and shuffling his feet.
James speaks first,
"Lily, babe. If I left you for Remus you wouldn't mind right? We've discussed I'm allowed to leave you for a man when you leave me for Harry Styles."
Lily replies, giving Remus a tight side hug. "James, you're gonna have to fight me for him, I CALL DIBS"
Now that Remus is a proper tomato, everyone in the room starts whistling and winking, complimenting Remus as he hides his face in his hands.
Sirius slaps Remus' back, whispering in his ear.
"Absolutely no effort and you still look flawless. Only you can pull that off, Lupin. Only you" He chuckles.
Remus shudders as the warmth next to his ear disappears, and he is immediately knocked to the ground as an excited James' overestimates his strength and engulfs him in a huge hug.
"Awwww Remus, we're all gonna be famous! Even Peter is gaining followers! Look at us, taking over the world of TikTok."
Remus softly replies a thank you, watching Sirius as he adds a quick caption and posts the video. The doorbell rings, so Remus walks to open it for the delivery guy.
Lily ran up to Remus,
"Sorry, I'm paying! I ordered pizza for lunch, didn't feel like going out after last night"
Remus nodded, and they set up plates and sodas for everyone on the small table in front of the sofa.
"I still don't understand you and your ridiculous soda combinations, Sirius" Peter says as Sirius mixes sprite, doctor pepper, and root beer.
"They're not for the weak- minded, dear Peter. You must be open to all possibilities."
Remus interrupts, "No,no. Peter is right, that's disgusting."
Sirius dramatically gasps. "After I gave you fame you betray me? The audacity."
Remus laughs and shrugs, he goes to sit on the floor in front of the couch where Sirius is currently drinking his soda combination.
Once everyone is well fed and comfortable on a couch or floor, Mary picks a movie and they relax in comfortable silence.
Remus tenses when he feels someone touching his hair, he looks up to see Sirius absentmindedly playing with his overgrown curls.
Remus knows his already messy hair is probably gonna look puffy and crazy, but he doesn't mind it at all when he sees Sirius completely focused on the movie, his hands running back and forth on Remus' scalp. The moment of peace is cut short when Lily nearly jumps out of her seat.
"Remus check your post. Like, right now!"
Remus is confused and slightly upset when Sirius removes his hands from his hair, but he pulls out his phone and opens up his TikTok page. He grips his phone hard, not quite believing what he's seeing.
Sirius grabs the phone from his hands and starts looking through the comments.
"Over a million likes and 300k comments. And you said I was the famous one? Holy shit, Lupin!" He exclaims.
Everyone crowded over Remus and Sirius, reading the comments and cheering.
"Go, white boy, go!"
"no i'm genuinely going to combust rn" "THE GRANDPA SWEATERR"
"i'm 32 weeks pregnant today"
"i physically cannot handle this today"
"ik i'm not the only one who saw the veins..."
"Remus, literally all the people in the comments are thirsting over you. THIRSTING. They're all asking if you're single!" Lily yells out
Remus isn't used to all the attention he's currently getting, but he can't deny he doesn't enjoy the idea of creating content for TikTok videos.
"You guys are literally trending on twitter, oh my god." Mary says to James.
Sirius opens his phone, reading out the Twitter hashtag caption:
" "Marauders:James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew are four best friends who have grown an insane amount of fame in the last 24 hours. Fans have already given the group a name."
The Marauders' notifications were through the roof, each boy gaining an insane amount of likes, comments, and follows on all forms of social media.
——-
The next two weeks were a pretty exciting time. The semester ended early, so the mauraders and the girls spent pretty much all their time together. They all learned all kind of dances, did whatever trends were popular and even started shit-posting whatever they felt like.
Mary and Marlene eventually left to visit their families and so did Lily. James tagged along to stay with Lily's family, so Sirius and Remus were left alone. Sirius usually went home with James, and Remus was happy staying in the apartment, by himself, while his friends were visiting family and his parents were traveling the world.
Remus knew, to an extent, about the Black family. With their high social status and horrible treatment. He knew Sirius was disowned at a young age and that's why James was his family. He also knew it was times like these when Sirius began missing his little brother, Regulus, whom he had not spoken to in years. So Remus decided they were going to spend every minute together, having fun in the apartment.
Remus walks into Sirius' bedroom, plopping himself down on his desk with a pen and paper.
"Okay, sleepy head. We have about 14 days to do everything James has been wanting to do before he gets back home so we can brag to him about how much fun we had while he complains about his future mother-in law"
Bragging to James caught Sirius' attention, so he walks over to where Remus sat and picks up the list.
"Binge watch all 8 Harry Potter movies? Oh man, he's going to be SO pissed"
Remus grins, "I wanted to do that one first, so we could post about it on TikTok. James has been BEGGING us to watch it with him ever since he found out he and Harry have the same last name, i cant wait to see his face."
"Frog cakes? Hell.Fucking.Yes" Sirius said.
"My mom taught me how to bake when I was little, get ready to have your mind blown, Sirius." Remus said with a wink.
"I have the PERFECT hat for that cake!" "I don't doubt it."
——-
Doing a live video while he baked a cake with Sirius was probably a bad idea, especially since Remus has reluctantly agreed to go out with a guy Marlene set him up with in a few hours, but Remus didn't care. He's currently setting up all the ingredients, grabbing his iPad to do the live so he can have his phone on hand for help with the directions.
Sirius walks in with a frilly apron and bright green frog hat. Remus can't help but smile and stare at him, looking ridiculously attractive in an equally ridiculous outfit.
TikTok Live*
"Hello, friends!" Remus says to the camera. He's grown quite used to the attention he gets on social media, happy to interact with fans and post as much content as he can.
"So today, Sirius and I'd decided to spend some talking talking to you all while we bake a cake! James, if you're watching this, sorry" He says with a wink.
Sirius laughs, looking into the camera, "Remus is the boss in this operation, I'm just the arm candy."
"Oh hush, i doubt you're that bad of a baker"
"You'd be surprised at how little the Black family prioritized basic activities like this"
"Even more reason for you to learn now!" Remus nudges his shoulder, starting to place all the ingredients in order.
"So i was thinking a red velvet cake, one of my absolute favorites! I can put cream cheese frosting in between the layers, and use it to decorate! Best flavor combination, I swear"
"I don't know , Lupin. Cream cheese sounds a little sus on a cake"
"Black, shut up. The only cakes i've seen you eat are the frozen Dairy Queen ones."
"Yeah... because they're delicious" Sirius walks out of the kitchen, actually. He skipped out of the kitchen.
Remus laughs, looking over the ingredients to check the comments on the video.
"Am I single? Well wouldn't you like to know! Kidding, very much single right now. I'm going on a date later this evening in fact, wish me luc- Ew. Yep. Hand in the cream cheese. I'll be back guys, Sirius is gonna take over."
Sirius walks into the kitchen from the laundry room, holding another apron for Remus.
"Hey, talk to the live for a bit? I'm in a bit of a cheese situation, if you couldn't tell"
Sirius smiles and laughs, "No problem at all, Lupin"
He walks over to the iPad that is resting on the counter, reading the comments and smiling... until he sees comments asking about his date.
"Date? I'm not going on a date, you guys are ridiculous." Sirius laughs it off. He reads out loud the new comments, "Not you, Remus said he has a date." "Remus has a WHAT?"
Sirius gasps, his neck breaking out into a cold sweat. Remus is his friend, his best friend. He can't be upset if Remus is going out on a date, can he? No, it's wrong. He doesn't have to spend all his time with Sirius, but he promised to help him bake and watch movies. Sirius doesn't speak for a minute, lost in his thoughts and barely registering a phone ringing on the counter.
He picks up the phone and answers the call, not bothering to check who's phone it is or even who's calling.
"Hello?" He says, holding the phone to his ear and was expecting James to start yelling at him for baking a cake without him.
"Hello, Remus! This is Micheal, I was just checking to tell you I got us reservations at the restaurant you said you liked! I'll meet you there at seven, have a great day!"
The speaker was gone just as fast as he was on the phone, not giving Sirius the time to process what he just heard. That was definitely a mans voice, right? And their name was Micheal. Sirius couldn't think of any woman he knew named Micheal. But Remus is straight, right? But, he never out-right said he was straight. Sirius thinks about it, he also never brought a girl home, or anyone home. Remus is going on a date?
"Sirius! You were supposed to keep my friends entertained, not stand there like a fashionable lamp!" Remus bursts into the kitchen, pointing his finger between Remus and the iPad.
"Micheal called." Sirius blurted out before he could stop himself.
"Oh." was all Remus said. And then a moment later, "Did he say anything?"
Sirius scoffed, "He said the reservations for your date are at seven, thanks for the heads up, by the way"
Remus walked up to him and shrugged. "No need to get upset, jesus. So what I have a date? Marlene said he was nice and I need to get out more."
"So it is a he. Good to know."
"God Black, i didn't think it was that big of a deal. I've been dating men since I was 18, I honestly thought you knew."
"You thought I knew?!" Sirius all but yelled. "Fucking hell Remus, obviously I didn't know!" "Why are you yelling?!" Remus exclaimed back, "I thought you, of all people, wouldn't care!" "Of course I care!" Sirius stopped, seeing Remus' face scrunch in pain.
Remus didn't think It was a big deal that he was gay. He fought it for so many years that choosing to embrace it during his senior year made his life so much happier than before. Lily knew, of course Lily knew. She was the first person Remus ever confided in, and she supported him unconditionally. He never really came out to his roommates or friends, assuming they already knew or would eventually find out. So what, he's gay? A lot of people are, there's no need to make a big deal out of it. Hearing Sirius say that hurt, it felt like a dagger being put in his chest.
Remus was tired of hearing people tell him how to live his life, Sirius' words hitting his last nerve. "If you had a problem with the way that I live my life, I wish you would've told me before you became the most important part" Remus huffed out, angrier than he's been before.
He was so focused on not throwing the many objects that surrounded him he didn't notice Sirius walk up to him, long and fast strides.
Sirius grabs the back of Remus' neck and gently twirls the overgrown curls in-between his fingers, uses his other hand to grip his jaw like he had that day on the couch, and he tilts his own head up, pushing his lips against Remus'. Sirius is scared, terrified when for a split second, Remus stops. Completely pauses. And then, Remus' lips are moving with Sirius' and sparks are flying.
Remus cannot believe he's kissing Sirius Black. The same boy he's been pining over since the first year of university, the same boy who he argues with and laughs with and... kisses? Oh god, Remus has never kissed anyone like this before. He can barely remember how to breathe, cannot think of anything besides the fact that Sirius' mouth was on his and his lips were softer than they look.
They pull apart and Sirius moves his mouth to Remus' ear in a soft whisper
"I care, Remus, because I care about you and I want you. I just didn't know if you wanted me." Black said, oh so softly.
Remus moves his own mouth to Sirius' ear, "Ive wanted you since the day I met you. Why do you think I never brought anyone home?"
Remus and Sirius study at each-other's faces, noses touching and smiles wide.
"Sirius. The live" Remus shouts, both boys running to the iPad , still resting on the counter, giving the nearly 600k viewers a perfect view of everything that just happened.
The comments were flying by so fast, you can see nothing but a blur of words and emojis. Sirius looks to Remus, mouthing out a question. Remus' red cheeks flush an even deeper shade as he silently nods.
Sirius looks away, then focuses all his attention on the camera.
"Well, friends. I guess I can answer all your questions by saying: No, Remus Lupin is NOT single.
Have an amazing night."
End Live*
Remus shows Sirius the group chat between their friends, his smile growing impossibly wider.
The Marauders & Women
Mary: WOLFSTAR IS TRENDING #1 ON TWITTER Peter:
James: I KNEW IT! I TOLD YOU LILY, I TOLD YOU! Lily: So, so proud of you both!!
Marlene: FINALLY YOU DIPSHITS KISSED, THE SEXUAL TENSION WAS KILLING ME
Mary changed group name to Wolfstar Supremecy
James: Lily you owe me 20
Lily: Damn you ,Remus. Couldn't you guys wait another month to kiss?
"So I guess literally everyone realized it but us, Huh Remus?" Sirius said as Remus placed his head on his shoulder, fitting into place like a puzzle.
"Well, my mother always said i had a thick head." ——-
It's night time already, Remus and Sirius are sitting on the couch, their bodies melted into one another.
"Lily messaged me a video, said I HAVE to check out this fan edit" Sirius spoke into Remus' neck one of his arms hovering over his body.
"Well, go on, play it"
Baby, you're like lightning in a bottle
Remus and Sirius are arguing, an intensive glare set on one another*
I can't let you go now that I've got it
Sirius starts walking to Remus, as fast as he can*
And all I need is to be struck by your,
Sirius is grabbing Remus' neck and cupping his Jaw*
Electric Love.
The two boys kiss, their mouths melting as the song continues*
