"What did she just say?" Sirius asked pointing at the spot by the door previously filled with the silhouette of Ginny Weasley.

Tonks burst through the same door, roaring with laughter. Before it closed, the loud nonsensical screaming of Hermione echoed off the kitchen walls, and into their ears. Tonks sank down into the chair across the table from Remus and buried her shaking head in her arm.

Sirius stared at her with a permanent stamp of confusion masking his face. Slowly, his grey eyes narrowed. "What do you know?" he asked Tonks.

Pulling herself up, Tonks made a sound like a mix between a groan and a giggle, as she realized that she laid her arms across a plate of half-eaten pancakes.

She looked at Sirius, and shrugged. "I…they're like my friends, Sirius. I'm not going to tell you what I heard," Tonks's voice was quiet and almost unintelligible. Her eyes shifted to Remus.

Remus's light brown hair, streaked with signs of early graying, hung down limply over his eyes, which were darting back and forth across a copy of that morning's Daily Prophet.

"Tonks!?" Sirius shouted.

Remus's eyeballs lifted and pierced Tonks with their soft blue glow. Tonks swallowed loudly.

"They like you," Tonks said, in a monotone voice that no one would recognize as her own; her eyes were still locked with Remus's.

Sirius's loud bark-like laugh broke their stare. "What?" he chocked out, his face splattered with disbelief.

Tonks caught Sirius's infectious laughter, and started to giggle herself. "I heard them talking last night, Sirius. They fancy you; but don't tell them I said anything."

"Heh, heh, heh," Sirius laughed, flipping his dark hair over his shoulder. "Did you hear that, Moony?" Sirius elbowed Remus in the ribs. "I still got it."

Remus rolled his eyes and started to neatly fold his newspaper up.

"Thirteen years in prison and I can still make the ladies drool," Sirius said, sitting back in his chair, propping his hands behind his head.

Tonks pursed her lips. "I think you're over exaggerating this. They just have a school girl crush."

Sirius waved Tonks's remark off. A mischievous smile started to pull at his mouth.

Remus shifted in his seat, to allow himself to comfortably cross his legs. He glanced over at Sirius, and shook his head. "Don't do anything, Sirius. I know that look." He pointed a finger at Sirius's face.

"What?" Sirius said, trying his hardest to appear innocent. After a brief unblinking staring contest between the two, Sirius's face fell blankly. "How do you know I'm going to do something?"

"Sirius," Tonks spoke up. "They're young girls! Don't go playing around with their feelings."

"Exactly," Remus chimed in, nodding his head. "Ginny and Hermione are at an impressionable age. You're going to give them a complex; they'll end up bitter towards all men."

Sirius continued to stare at Remus. "You my friend," he finally said, pushing Remus's nose in with his forefinger; "are jealous."

"Jealous?" Remus asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Yep; jealous," Sirius leaned back again in his chair and looked at Tonks. "He's always been jealous of me," he added, jabbing his thumb towards Remus.

Tonks rolled her eyes at Remus.

"Sirius, I'm not jealous of you," Remus said, mildly. "I like being able to leave the house."

Tonks threw her head back; her hair flashing every color in the rainbow, as she scrunched her face up with laughter.

Sirius folded his hands around his knee and looked down. He couldn't help but also laugh at Remus's unusual outburst of sarcastic insulting; that, and the fact that he didn't need to see Remus's face to picture the look of shock and apology.

"I'm sorry, Padfoot," Remus said, patting Sirius's hands.

Sirius slapped Remus gently on the shoulder, and smiled. Nothing was going to break his spirits at the moment.

He wasn't going to admit it but he didn't feel proud or smug that these little crushes were revealed; instead he felt nostalgic. His mind whirled back to his years at Hogwarts, when his face wasn't stretched by a long period in prison, his mind not saddened by deaths and betrayals. When he, literally, frolicked around with James, and chased girls. When he would sit in a room and know that every eye attached to a female, (unless their last name was Evans), was also attached to him.

He felt young again, handsome again, thinking that Ginny and Hermione thought about him like that. His brain, bored with his life, wanted nothing more at the moment than to witness two young girls fall in love with him; even if it was wrong and unrealistic. Was there really anything better to do?

"So, Tonks," Sirius said, sitting forward. "Even Hermione fancies me?"

Tonks, who was busy using the back of a spoon to check out the color of her hair, nodded her head.

Sirius made an approved face and smiled slyly. "I like smart girls."

"Oh, Merlin," Remus moaned.

"What, Moony? Did you want Hermione?"

Remus's eyebrows shut up under his bangs. "Sirius! Are you nuts? They're half our age!"

Sirius laughed and rose from his chair. "I'm just joking! I'm not going to do anything."

"Yes you are," Tonks said, also getting up.

"Sirius…" Remus started, hoping that that was enough of a warning for his friend.

"Oh, come on!" Sirius exclaimed. "Do you really blame me for wanting to have some fun? Can you think of anything better to do around here?"

Remus opened his mouth.

"And don't say cleaning. I'm sick of cleaning."

Remus shook his head, laughing. "This is just very…immature. We're grown men; and Ginny and Hermione are going to forget about you as soon as they see boys their own age." Remus looked away from his friend.

Sirius always, from the moment they met, had this power over him. One look in the eye, and Remus knew exactly what Sirius was feeling; and Sirius knew that soft puppy dog eyes and a sweet smile always changed Remus's mind on things. "I understand, Padfoot," Remus sighed. "Just don't take this too far. You can make them giggle, but don't make them fall in love with you." Remus pulled a disgusted face, like someone made him down a whole goblet of his Wolfsbane in one sitting.

Tonks stood next to Sirius and laughed. "Who would fall in love with this, anyway?" she asked, picking up a strand of Sirius hair with her thumb and forefinger, examining it with the same look of disgust that Remus had.

Sirius pulled away from his cousin and smiled. "Now, I wonder if I remember how to kiss…"

Remus's smile disappeared into a scowl. "This is a crime I think," Remus said. "You can go back to Azkaban just for thinking about what you're planning."

"Come here, Tonksie," Sirius said, beckoning her to him, his left eyebrow wagging up and down.

Tonks started to slowly walk towards him. "Why am I moving closer to you?" she asked out loud. "Nothing good can come from that look."

Sirius grabbed Tonks's face and laughed. Tonks screamed like someone just shouted "Avada Kedavra" at her.

"Remus! Stop him!" Tonks screamed; bending her head backwards, away from Sirius's puckered lips.

Remus stood up, laughing, just as Sirius dropped his hands from Tonks face.

Tonks jumped around, shaking her hands. "That was too gross, Sirius. My mother would have had an aneurism if she walked through that door at that moment."

Remus tried to slip quietly behind Sirius towards the door. Sirius knew his plan from before he made a step, however.

Sirius reached his arm out and grabbed Remus by the back of his jumper, stopping him from leaving. Remus's shoulders fell defeated, and he allowed Sirius to pull him back.

Turning around, Remus looked down at Sirius who was laughing like a mad man.

"Come on, Moony. Don't you want to be my first kiss after fifteen years of forced abstinence?" Sirius winked at Remus, and tried not to laugh.

"How did we get from Ginny and Hermione having crushes on you, to me and you snogging?" Remus asked, as he tried to squirm away from Sirius.

Tonks stood by the kitchen door. A searing pain ran up her sides, as she swayed back and forth watching Sirius lunge at Remus's mouth.

"Padfoot! That's enough!" Remus screamed right after Sirius kissed his chin, causing the laughing Tonks to trip over her own feet and onto the kitchen floor.
