A/N: Here you go...the last chapter! I had a ton of fun writing this, thanks to everyone who reviewed and enjoyed the story. Reviewer notes at the end!
Sirius grumbled as his eyes opened the next morning, squinting at the sunlight. Frowning he sat up and went to get off his bed, and promptly fell on to the ground in a tangle of blankets and sheets. "Dammit!" He groaned and rolled onto his back, staring up at his ceiling.
What a way to start the day.
How he had gotten himself into this mess? It wasn't like his plan didn't work, it worked. Only it worked too well. He didn't want his bestmate and his cousin running off and eloping after one dinner date! It was insane...it was bloody crazy.
All he wanted was them to exchange a few compliments, maybe a few kisses, and plan for a second date. That's the way it's supposed to happen!
He dragged himself to his feet and made his way down to the kitchen. Tonks sat across the table from Remus, both drinking from mugs. Sirius caught glance of the ring on her finger and groaned, flopping down into the seat at the head of the table.
He wanted to smack that smile right off Moony's face.
"Sirius – "
Sirius glared at him. "I've decided I'm not speaking to you, Remus."
Remus rose an eyebrow. "Padfoot, listen to me."
"No!" Sirius put his head on the table. "You know how I feel about it, Remus. All I wanted was you two to realize you had these underlying sentiments for each other, not go off and propose...and go and get married. Isn't that just a WEE BIT TOO FAST OF PACE FOR YOU REMUS?"
Sirius suddenly became aware of Tonks laughing into her hands, her shoulders shaking. Remus had a strange look of amusement on his face.
"I don't see what's so funny about this!"
"Sirius, sometimes when you meddle in other people's personal lives, there's an unexpected outcome. It doesn't always turn out like you want."
Sirius snorted. "Yeah, it's a lesson learned then. Now I know that."
Remus grinned. "Excellent! I'm glad you realize it. Now that we got it out of you, there's still something we wanted to tell you."
Sirius stared at the two confused.
Tonks grinned, still giggling. "Sirius, we were mad that you went behind our backs and tricked us into going out on a date, so we..."
"Decided to play a little prank of our own. We aren't getting married, Sirius. We just wanted to, you know..." Remus told him, smirking.
"You just wanted to what? Scare the shit out of me?" Sirius said, his mouth open.
"Exactly! I knew you would understand." Tonks finished, winking.
Sirius gaped at the two of them. How did his little cousin and his best friend successfully prank him? Him, Sirius Black, master of all things mischief?
"So...." He started slowly. "So you aren't getting married then?"
Remus looked up at Tonks. "No," he said, and they gave each other a small smile, "No wedding."
Sirius let out a breath. "That's a relief." Sirius grinned at the two of them. "You know, I was seriously contemplating turning one of you over to Deatheaters if this whole thing kept up."
Tonks laughed. "Well, there's no need for that, Sirius."
Sirius laughed along with her, and them seemed to think of something. "So my plan didn't work at all then?"
Remus and Tonks stole another glance. "Well, it didn't fail completely, did it Remus?"
He grinned into his teacup. "No, I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that at all." Tonks winked at him and he seemed to blush slightly.
Sirius smiled, his old self once again back. "Excellent!" No wedding, but a second date. That was the way he planned things!
He knew he was wonderful at everything he did. He decided to say so. "I knew I was wonderful at everything I did."
Remus and Tonks just rolled their eyes at him as somewhere off in the hallway a mirror started squeaking, "The arrogance! The arrogance!"
Sirius just grinned.The End!
