Remus had never liked making a big deal out of his birthday . He didn't want a party in the common room or everyone in his year wishing him happy birthday . He just liked spending it with his friends . But when you had a boyfriend named Sirius black who loved celebrating every small thing, be it the day they first met or the day they became best friends, that was not possible .

On the morning of March 10th , 1976 Remus was awoken by Sirius' lips pecking his whole face . Remus slowly opened his eyes to find his boyfriend's grey ones shining at him happily .

"Happy Birthday, Moonbeam."

Remus closed his eyes again, wrinkling his nose .

"You can't wake me up this early on my birthday .

Sirius planted a kiss on his nose "We need to get to breakfast , I have the whole day planned .

Remus opened his eyes, arching an eyebrow "The whole day ? It's Wednesday we have classes, Pads" .

"It's your birthday, Moony you are not spending it in class .

Remus wrinkled his nose again"We'll get into trouble for this".

"Like that's anything new ".

Remus frowned , biting his lower lip in thought, which made Sirius chuckle .

"You're adorable ".He reached out his hand "Come on ".

Obediently, Remus took his hand and was pulled out of the bed, getting to his feet . A frown still on his face as he said "If we get detention-

"Stop worrying Moony, we won't get caught ".

Remus didn't exactly stop worrying , that was practically impossible when you were him - but he did give into Sirius' plan - whatever it was. He let himself be dragged to breakfast by an excited Sirius .

After breakfast , Sirius grabbed Remus' hand and dragged him through the corridor . People were looking around at them, along with the professors but no one seemed to wonder why they weren't heading to their lessons.

Sirius dragged Remus through the castle , he didn't object nor complain , a sense of excitement in the pit of his stomach .

When Sirius finally stopped- they were under a tree overlooking the Black Lake .

"Wh- What are we doing ? "Remus asked .

Sirius grinned "Having a picnic".

Remus arched an eyebrow and stared at the other boy as he began taking things out of his bag - a blanket , a bottle of pumpkin juice, strawberries and lots of chocolate . He continued looking bewildered even after they settled down.

Sirius tilted his head "This is starting to feel weird ".

"Er- " Remus stammered and blurted out "A picnic right after breakfast".

Sirius stared at him for a second before bursting into laughter "Lovely way to say thanks ,Moons".

When Remus was still staring at him , perplexed and more importantly anxious ,Sirius gently stroked his cheek .

"Is– Is this not okay ? ".

Remus blinked "No– not at all , it I just-"He let out a soft groan . "Do you think anyone will find us , we might get into trouble " He said, biting his lower lip .

"Remus we won't get into trouble, and if we do, we'll do it together . We'll always be together , you don't have to worry, Moony ."

Remus bit his lip, a blush spreading on his cheeks .

"Seriously though, a picnic right after breakfast? " .

"Well "- Sirius smiled - "I was hoping we would spend the first few hours doing something else .''

The corners of Remus' mouth twitched up "You were ? ".

"Mhm".

Remus bit his lip, feeling his whole body smile before he leaned in, bought their lips together . He smiled as he pressed forward, pushing Sirius onto the blanket . He wasn't worrying about detention anymore .

"Do you think this war will ever end ?" Remus asked Sirius as they lay on the blanket after their picnic, staring up at the beautiful autumn sky .

"Of course it will and we'll help in ending it . We'll complete our seventh year. You, me, Prongs and Evans are gonna become aurors . And then when it does , we'll get a house in Godric's Hollow near Prongs and Evans' house and Wormtail will visit once in a while . And we'll live happily ever after ".
