"Sirius, where did you get this boat?" Remus asked doubtfully as he looked around him as they made their way onto the lake. "Where are we going?"
"Out," Sirius said, carefully rowing the boat out further onto the lake. "We're going to relax today on the lake." He moved the oars back and forth, focusing on what he was doing.
Remus glanced at the basket. "What's that?" he asked, hoping it was food and that it contained chocolate.
"Remus, can't I have any surprises?" Sirius asked, frowning slightly. He let go of one of the oars and reached for Remus' hand. "You'll find out soon," he promised.
"Do you want me to row?" Remus asked, but Sirius shook his head as he let go of Remus' hand so he could grab the oar and continue.
Finally they were in the middle of the lake, away from the students and somewhere private.
"Okay, so I wanted to do something special for our first date," Sirius admitted. "A picnic just didn't seem enough so I thought I'd take you out on this boat too!"
"Too?"
"Yeah. I brought our picnic." Sirius gestured to the basket before reaching up and pushing his dark hair behind his ear. "I was thinking that we have something to eat and then we can cuddle and just relax and enjoy being out on the water."
Remus glanced at Sirius' hopeful expression. He didn't want to mention that being out on the water made him nervous because Sirius was trying so hard.
Plus, he felt safe with Sirius.
"This sounds like the perfect first date," he said softly. "Let's see what lunch you made and after, well, we can find a way to pass the time. His gaze fell on Sirius' lips and Sirius smirked.
"I can think of a few ways."
