Okay, so maybe this wasn't a good idea. Remus had sounded normal enough but he had only said one word. Sirius should have thought about what he was going to say instead of rushing off in a fit. His throat was dry and he felt like his tongue had swollen in seconds. Is this what an allergic reaction felt like? Oh god. It was probably worse. His brain was blank. He was, as Lily would phrase it, a prat.

"Hello." He finally greeted back.

"Sirius." Remus sounded genuinely surprised.

"Yeah...erm, hey." He said lamely.

"I wasn't expecting to hear from you." He would have liked to hear the words so soon at the end of that but the unsaid words were more along the lines of at all.

"Yeah… I meant to call." But I was a complete prat. I took crap advice from the most single and stupid guy I know. I was too busy raving about how great you are that I forgot to tell you.

"Right...well, if that's all then." Remus sounded a bit hurt.

"There's a fuming red head in the front of my work." Sirius added before he could stop himself. Way to go black, get the guy you want by talking about his crazy friend.

"Oh god. Lily's there."

"Oh good. I was worried you were going to say which one. I don't think I could live knowing you know more than one."

"Lily is the only mother hen in my life." Remus sounded like he was smiling.

"Well, I was pecked at and a little bird told me that I'm a prat and the I shouldn't take advice from my very single friend because the three day rule doesn't apply to us."

"You… you were waiting three days?" Remus sounded very strange.

"James said I should." He said very softly. He felt more embarrassed now than he had at the store front. There was a muffled laugh on the other end and Sirius flushed. He felt like the world's biggest twat now.

"Should I hang up so you can ring me tomorrow?" Remus asked in mock seriousness.

"Only if you want to." Sirius said in a roguish manner.

"Well, since you went through the trouble I might as well indulge you."

Sirius wanted to kiss him in that moment. God, how could someone be so impossibly irresistible? Remus had a quiet playfulness that brought out a devil of an itch in him. He wanted to tease him more but he also wanted to apologize and fawn over him.

"You should know that you absolutely have to forgive me."

"Why is that?" Remus asked coolly.

"Because you've ruined me. I couldn't possibly go out with anyone else after our date. And we didn't even shag! You have to take responsibility." Sirius said dramatically.

"I doubt you're ruined. Like you said, we haven't even shagged yet." The promise in his voice had Sirius panting. There was something about the tone of his voice that assured him there were great things in the future.

"Well then I suppose I'll just have to let you shag me so you can show me what I'm missing."

He could only home! He hadn't been this antsy for something since he was waiting to his 4th year teacher to realize she had a hissing cockroach on her head. It had been well worth the wait and he was certain that this would be too. He did have an awful urge to kiss Remus right now. Violently.

"There are other ways I could ruin you. So many ways," Remus said with a low sultry voice that made Sirius' breath hitch.

"Oh? Tell me about it." He sounded like a begging dog.

"I could bend you over a table, keep you on your toys while I," Sirius didn't hear the rest because James called him from the front of the store and the line went dead.

No. No. Oh hell no! Remus had hung up. That little cock tease had gotten his hopes up and crushed them in a matter of seconds. He was a demon. Sirius was sure of it. No one on earth could be that cruel and devious. If this was some sort of sick revenge then he disapproved. He disapproved whole heartedly.

"Sirius… we have an order." James sounded distressed.

"You look like you saw your mum naked." Sirius said with a laugh

"It's for you."

"Oi! Don't just give me the hard orders." Sirius glowered.

"Funny you should say it like that."

Sirius looked at the screen. The screen read "Blond with the fine ass" and below was Remus' order. A large pizza with white sauce and extra sausage. Sirius was in a fit of giggles before he got to the special instructions which read simply: bring condoms. Sirius has both amused at his innovation and aroused by his innuendo. He liked Remus more by the minute.

"You sure you don't want to take this one, J?" Sirius chirped.

"Bit too much sausage for my liking but you have fun. Don't be too long." James said with a carefree smile. This was definitely his way of apologizing for the crappy advice. What a guy!

"I'll hurry back, Darling!" He said before rushing to his motorcycle because James had insisted he was leaving early and someone had to stay and clean.

He luckily was keeping a string of condoms in his leather jacket. He wasn't a whore but he'd be damned if someone struck his fancy and he couldn't get his jollies because he didn't have a rubber. He rode with focus. Remus be a cock tease but at least he followed through. Sirius was a sucker for follow through.

When he arrived at Remus and Lily's shared home he was more than a little aroused. He had spent the ride imagining an array of scenarios that made his blood pool in uncomfortable places. By the time he got to the door to ring the bell he was positively lost. He wanted to feel Remus against him. The second his finger pressed the plastic module and the bell echoed he felt his heart in his ears. He couldn't breathe when the door opened. La petite mort.

Remus opened the door with his honey curls tousled and his lips were red as though he had just been biting them. His amber eyes were warm. His sweater pooled around his lanky figure. His jeans were obviously undone and Sirius knew for a fact that he was not wearing underwear.

"Fuck me." Sirius cursed softly without thinking. Remus was devastating.

"In good time." He said with the kind of smirk Sirius had never hoped to see on his angelic face but by god, he loved it there.

Sirius damn near whimpered when Remus grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him inside. The click of the door barely muffled his moan. Oh yes, well worth the wait!
