Remus took Sirius by the hand, walking the other way from their room. The black haired sighed, disappointed.
"Rem, I dunno if you've noticed, but our room is the other way around" he said, matter of factly.
"I know, but we are not heading there" he responded, with indifference.
"But Rem, my birthday's almost over and I was hopping we could have some fun…" he whined.
"Don't whine Sirius, and try to stop being so horny, alright?" the golden eyed compelled. Sirius immediately shut up. Eventually, after five minutes of speechless walking, they reached one of the hotel's gardens. Remus stopped walking.
"Pads, do you remember my uncle Fernand?" Remus asked, nervously. Sirius quirked an eyebrow.
"That's what you brought me here for, Rem. To talk about your uncle. Wow, you're such a romantic Casanova" he replied, sarcastically. The werewolf glared.
"Can't you just answer the question?" he inquired. Sirius smiled.
"Yes, I remember your uncle. He was a crazy freak, just like me. Made me wish I had uncles like him. Why? Is that my birthday present?" he said hurriedly. Remus laughed.
"I don't feel obliged into giving you my uncle, so no. I mention him because…well…"he took his hand "you know I'm not rich, right?"
Sirius nodded, confused.
"And you also know that I cannot afford giving you the most beautiful and expensive gifts I would long to, right?"
He mumbled a yes, not quite getting the point of the conversation.
"Well, I made a deal with my uncle, and when I told who the gift was for, he immediately agreed on helping…"
"You didn't get me a girl right?" Sirius interrupted "your uncle has a lot of girls, him being so good looking in those great muggle cars of him. I hope you didn't convince him on giving me a girl, because you should know I wouldn't accept it. I don't care if you don't have money, I only want you. But if you feel you are not enough for…"
"Padfoot, shut it!" Remus screamed "your rambling isn't helping!" he blushed a little "and no, I didn't get you a girl!" Sirius smiled with relief.
"I'm only trying to say that it's not the greatest gift, but it's the best I could get. And since you have a James Dean complex…" the black haired widened his eyes. Realization was dawning on him.
"You..you didn't!" he screamed. Remus fidgeted. "You bought me one?"
"So you guessed" the golden eyed smiled "it's not fantastic, but-"
"Are you crazy! I've always wanted one of those glorious leather jackets!" he hugged Remus, who was petrified.
"Pads—I—I didn't get you a leather jacket" he blurted. The hug stopped.
"You didn't?" Remus shook his head "What did you get me, then?"
"I—if you don't like it, you don't have to keep it, ok?" he mumbled. Sirius growled.
"REM, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO TELL ME YOU'RE PREGNANT! Just get on with it!"
Remus took several deep breaths, pointing his wand towards the tree behind them. A shadow formed, startling Sirius. The werewolf pointed it.
"That is your gift. Over there"
The black haired took a few steps, hesitating. When he found himself close enough to the shadow, he examined it. It was a big—something, covered by plastic. He reached it with his hand, and he figured out he needed to remove the plastic thing. He slowly did it, and what it reveled left him breathless.
A big, red, glowing motorcycle shone down to him, provoking him to gasp. He took some steps back, wanting to get a better view of it. The vehicle was beautiful. He then understood the uncle Fernand matter. That man repaired cars and motorcycles, being the one to blame for the whole James Dean obsession. They had met last summer, and Sirius absolutely adored him.
Remus drew close, afraid.
"Pads, did you-er- liked it?" he cautiously asked. Sirius mouth was so open he didn't consider himself able to say something coherent. The werewolf looked disappointed.
"I knew it wasn't enough. I'm sorry, Pads. I wanted to surprise you-"
"Rem, could you please tell me what this is?" he commanded. Remus' voice trembled.
"That's a motorcycle, Sirius."
The black haired nodded, enthusiastically.
"You got me one, Remus. You got me a bloody motorcycle!" the golden eyed flinched. He was about to apologize when strong arms lifted him from the floor with a bear hug. Soft lifts pressed his, lovingly. Remus put his arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. When they broke it, Sirius was glowing.
"Thanks, Moony! I love you so damn much!" Remus looked quite flustered. Sirius stopped hugging him and headed towards his motorcycle, caressing it.
"She's beautiful. She's our little daughter, Remus, we've got to name her." He affirmed. Moony smiled.
"I'm glad you like her"
"Are you kidding? She's my new love! After you, of course" he winked. Remus blushed. "I know! Pancha! Let's call her Pancha!"
Remus laughed, crossing his arms.
"That's a hideous name Pads, really. Pancha Black, how sucky." Sirius pouted.
"Don't call our daughter hideous. Sides, it's a beautiful name, just didn't say it completely." Remus quirked an eyebrow "She's Francisca Black Lupin. Her pet name is Pancha" he said, as if commenting on the weather. Remus shook his head.
Sirius got on his new motorcycle, excited. After a few minutes he discovered it also flew, which gained Remus a lot of kissing. The last minutes of the night where spent flying above the hotel (it's a wizards hotel, by the way), Remus gripped on his back.
As he felt the cold air in his face, with Moony's bathed breath on his neck, he new life couldn't get any better. He concluded life's happiness was divided in three. The one you get by success, the one you get by friendship and last, but not least, the one you got with true, pure and honest love. And that was the best birthday gift he could've possibly receive from his friends. One birthday glory.
After Pancha, of course.
