Synopsis: Sirius chews mint gum; Remus chews cinnamon.

Author's Note: First fanfic in three months, first one on FF.N that's DECENT in...oh, God, ages. Anyway, to the fic. Drabble, anyway.


Sirius chews mint gum.

It distracts Remus at times; it's not that it's loud (like Peter) or that he blows bubbles of obscene size (like James), it's just... distracting.

Many a time Remus has been distracted by crisp, fresh kisses. They're distracting as well, but more pleasurable.

Sirius loves distracting Remus.

Remus chews cinnamon gum.

Sirius thinks it fits his personality; almost a spicy taste, hidden behind muted browns and reds.

He thinks of this during one of his rare spurts of thoughtfulness. He tells Remus, but Remus just laughs and kisses him again.

The cinnamon and mint mingle nicely.


...yeah. Review, please, or I'll blow gum in your hair.
