Disclaimer: None of this is mine and I do not mean to make money out of this. Only the plot is mine but I can hardly sell that. Plus, I don't want to...so there.

Thanks to:

Yaoi-is-gay-13: Lol, why thank you.

Elrohir Lover: If you label then you become confused. Best to just let nature flow in her own mysterious way. And lol, I believe you, I believe you (Holds hands up in defensive manner). As for my hair mine defies gravity so I can hardly go round telling everyone to cut their hair lol. Hmm, Lord of the Rings fic (taps chin in thought) now there's an idea. I'll have to get back to you on that one. Plus I swear you people enjoy making me blush what with all your compliments. I'm one of those awkward people who if you say something nice to me I'll stand there and grin sheepishly...I –never- now what to say!

Enelya Aldarion: Aye I wanted something completely different to the Blacks because despite Harry's and Sirius's bad luck in family situations there are a great deal more out there who are wonderful. Your chapter title idea made me laugh because I just got this really humorous scenario in my head of something like 'Meet the Parents'.

Happo: I'm sorry about your dad. If it helps I haven't mentioned my possibly bi-sexualness (except to you lot of course) because I have a perfect sister and a part of me thinks that they might be slightly upset about it. Not 'get out of my house' upset just 'oh...I don't know what to say' upset. But then again I'm still working on finding out what I actually am lol. As for the plushies, I find a pokey-stick usually helps to get my cat from under the bed. Try that.

Guyunderpressure: We'd better make the walls really high, ooh I'll get hats (Runs off to find a cowboy hat and Native American head-dress). Mind if I join your protest?

Hp-Azn: Lol I think I may have to write another angsty fic for you to quench you temporarily.

Avain: Oh hello lol. Aye, My dad always teases my friends but I love winding my friend up by being really chatty with her mum. I even offered to make the drinks and her mum was all like 'Aren't you a darling, (Turns to my friend), you never help me like your friend does'. The –look- I got after her mum had gone was priceless.

Elvencherry07: You know what? I'm not sure. I mean I know the Potter's died some years after James had finished Hogwarts but I'm not sure if the Lupins lived or not.

Arigazi: ROTFLMAO oh my god really? I thought I spell checked it...damn. Lmao I'm sorry I have that image of an unconscious Sirius groaning as Remus and Ethan drag him up the stairs. Hmm, Sirius and James's hair...now there's an idea lol!

Jenna: I think I might have to, I miss writing for those boys. I might start the AU soon where I get to keep Sirius alive AND bring Cara into Hogwarts, what do you think? Yes, no? And I'm sure the boys will be tripping over themselves to get to you in a skirt like that lol.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Chapter 14 – Green or Blue?

My parents were wonderful people...but they could be awful teases as well. I think they were too excited at the prospect of their son bringing home his first 'serious relationship'.

Sirius of course accepted the invitation to come to dinner and I remember mum's barely concealed glee. She got out all the best cutlery, dressed up nice and even gave up on the Shepherd's pie for now.

(1975)

Remus lay on his stomach on his bed as he scribbled furiously in his journal. He idly drew a sketch of Sirius's laughing face, using a variety of pencils to get the toning right before cocking his head at the image and smiling.

Just when he decided that the drawing was a success he caught a whiff of something delicious cooking downstairs. Rolling off the bed he traipsed his way downstairs until he entered the kitchen to find his father stirring something in a pot.

"What's that? It smells gorgeous." Remus said, hands tucked into his pockets as he moved to stand beside his smiling father.

"French onion soup. May sound smelly but let me tell you, it's addictive!" Ethan laughed as he tested a bit with a spare wooden spoon from the counter beside him before moaning contentedly then holding it up for Remus to try it.

Remus sipped it gingerly then hummed as he closed his eyes.

"That is –so- delicious." He said grinning at his dad who put on a mock superior look.

"Yes well –I- did make it. Ow." The older man winced when Brigit Lupin walked back in and slapped him upside the head causing the teenager to laugh.

"That was a very covered up jab at my cooking." Mrs Lupin said scowling at her husband who grinned innocently. Shaking her head she turned her attention to Remus.

"It's almost 7 so maybe you should go get dressed. Oh dear, I had better do so to." Having said that she scampered out of the room, the werewolf in her wake.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Remus pulled on a metallic red button up shirt where he slowly did it up then smoothed the fabric with his hands a little self-concisely. He matched the shirt up with a pair of black dress trousers and looking sceptically at his reflection he opted for tying his hair back in a small tawny ponytail.

A few wispy strands fell in his eyes and he brushed then back behind his ear as he gazed at himself one last time. Nodding his final approval he moved to tidy his room as much as possible when suddenly a frantic looking woman in a dressing gown came panting into his room.

"Quick sweetie, which dress? The blue or the green?" Brigit Lupin held up both the dresses, alternating between dangling it in front of her body. Grinning Remus looked both dresses over.

"Green, your hair looks blonder that way." He said and moving quickly in front of the mirror his mother held the dress up in front of her.

"You're right, ta sweetie." She kissed his cheek then ran back into the main bedroom, Remus laughing in her wake.

Shaking his head he moved back to sit cross-legged on his bed and to avoid getting himself messy he opted for reading a thick muggle book titled 'Poems of the Underground.' He had just flipped the book open when his mother returned clipping on an earring.

"I forgot to say, you look very nice Remus darling." She said smiling then with a wink she left again.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Brigit was tutting over the table trying to decide on the sitting arrangement and Ethan was just placing the lid on the pot of his soup when a knock sounded at the front door. Remus jumped up with a 'I'll get it' then moved swiftly out of the room.

He rubbed his hands together once nervously then after a hesitant moment he opened the door with a smile.

His breath caught.

Sirius stood there, an anxious but amused look on his face, wearing...well it wasn't his traditional leather or punkish style clothes that was for sure.

He had on black dress trousers and had accompanied it with a Phthalo blue shirt that shimmered just ever so slightly. Over that he wore a black dinner jacket that reached to about midway on his thighs and had a high collar, His raven-black hair was pulled back with a ribbon the same blue colour as his shirt. In fact the only sign of the rebellious teenager he was used to was the black thin choker around his neck that had a blue tiger's eye gem hanging from it.

"Wow." Remus said wistfully and Sirius gave a little laugh before smiling at the tawny boy.

"Took the words right out of my mouth." He said scanning Remus over with an appreciative glance. The werewolf blushed slightly but couldn't keep the grin off his face as he stood to one side to let his boyfriend in.

"I...wow, uh." The smaller boy managed before Sirius chuckled again.

"Well that certainly beats James's 'You look like one of those guys from the old muggle movies, what they called? Oh yeah, poofters,'" Remus laughed then went on tip toe to kiss the darker teen.

"You look gorgeous." He finally managed and Sirius kissed the end of his nose.

"And you look beautiful." He whispered back before eyeing the kitchen door warily.

"Come on then, let's go say hello."

Grinning the werewolf took his mate's hand and led him into the wonderfully delicious smelling room to find his father finally sorting out the cutlery and his mother smoothing out her skirt for the millionth time.

When she looked up she made to grin but her jaw dropped instead.

"Sirius, look at you. Aren't you all handsome." She said as she moved over to greet him. Smirking at the woman Sirius produced a bouquet of roses from behind his back. She simpered.

"Oh Sirius you daft sod, you didn't have to do that." She said as she playfully slapped his arm.

"Nah I felt like it. Previous years I've been round to make a mess of the house, now I'm courting your son so it seemed polite."

Ethan Lupin laughed as he moved round the table to shake Sirius's hand.

"Where're my roses?" He said pretending to be upset causing both Brigit and Remus to give him 'Oh Ethan/Dad' scoldings making Sirius laugh again.

"I'm afraid you'll have to borrow Mrs Lupins." He said and Ethan winked at him before gesturing to the table.

"Shall we sit then? I have a most wonderful starter of French Onion soup followed by Roast Duck."

Sirius's eyebrows shot up as he took his place beside Remus and across from Brigit Lupin. He looked over at his boyfriend with a shocked grin.

"You really didn't have to do all this Mr Lupin. Not that I don't love the special treatment but I'm still just Sirius, the one who managed to break his bed by using it as a trampoline." He said jerking his head in Remus's direction and everyone laughed.

"Yeah but he doesn't get to do this often," Mrs Lupin said as she sat down across from the young Black with a smirk, "This may be his only chance as after this Remus may never bring anyone over ever again."

"What're you on about, if daddy makes that soup everytime Sirius comes round I'll pay for his bed myself." The werewolf quipped and Sirius laughed.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"So any plans for what you want to do after Hogwarts?" Ethan asked as he braced his chin in his fingers. Brigit was currently adding the final touches to the pudding, an English Trifle, as Remus placed the dirty dishes by the sink ready to wash them later.

"I don't know, I've always fancied being an Auror but that all depends on what...well you know, if my –parents- approve." Sirius said seeming to use the term 'parents' loosely.

At the mention of the Blacks Ethan Lupin frowned.

"Yes well, remember that they can only control you to a certain point Sirius. If you want to be an Auror then you go for it." The man said strongly making the animagi smile a true smile. –This- is what a father should be like he decided.

"Ethan don't you go putting ideas in his head." Brigit said as Remus laughed from his place by the sink.

"I wasn't putting ideas in his head, this is putting ideas in his head. 'Sirius, just leg it outta there as you know both we or the Potter's would take you in.'"

"ETHAN!"

Remus was beside himself in laughter as his dad grinned at his wife. Sirius was fighting against falling forwards against the table in tears of laughter and chose to clutch his side instead.

"You, Ethan John Lupin, are a wind up." Brigit said pointing the chocolate icing bag at her husband who smirked at her cheekily.

"I think I finally see where you get that slight mischievous side from Rem." Sirius said with a wink at his boyfriend.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"That was so much better then I could've imagined it." Sirius said as he stepped out the front door as the senior Lupins attempted to tidy the kitchen up behind the closed kitchen door.

Remus stood on the front threshold when Sirius turned back to face him with a grin.

"Better? Sirius I think they're waiting for church bells and being able to say 'our son's married to that lovely sexy young man over there."

Laughing the animagi pulled Remus towards him to give him a light kiss. Slowly it deepened, tongues slipping between lips and hums of pleasure escaping them both. Hands trailed down sides until Sirius's came to rest cupping the werewolf's face.

They pulled back with a slick sound and smiled serenely at one another.

"You and James want to come round tomorrow?" Remus asked in a quiet voice, still trying to recover from the kiss.

"The Potters and Jim are visiting his Nan tomorrow."

"Oh...oh how about the day after?"

"Well that's fine for Jim but I'll be here tomorrow." Sirius smirked at the look on Remus's face as it broke out into a smile.

"My parents are out tomorrow," He whispered into the taller teen's ear, " From around 9 in the morning until 6 in the evening...they have work."

The animagi quirked an eyebrow at his boyfriend who raised his back in challenge.

"It has been very trying not being able to get on you for the past few days." He said with a mock sigh and the tawny boy laughed as he slapped his shoulder playfully.

"Shh, parents in the other room remember!" Remus said chuckling before kissing him again, just as passionately as before.

"I'll see you tomorrow then." He whispered as Sirius began to back up the path.

"Tomorrow." He promised before giving a final wave and began his way back to the Potters.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Remus came back into the kitchen to find his mother pouring a cup of tea. His father looked as though he had just finished laughing as he still bore a grin on his face.

"Tonight went well don't you think?" He asked, wrapping an arm around his son's shoulders and hugging him to him.

"Perfect." The teenager said as Mrs Lupin leant back against the counter with them, sipping her tea.

"He looked very handsome didn't he. He's gotten taller." She said with a smile as Remus blushed slightly.

"Stop being suggestive about our boy's fella." Ethan laughed as he shook his head at his wife who raised her eyebrows in amusement.

"Well I'm going to go to bed before you two bring me into an incredible awkward conversation." The werewolf kissed both his grinning parents on the cheek before with a contented smile he made his way to his room.
