Chapter Text
Regulus
Regulus slept through his first few days in America, terribly tired, terribly what the muggles called jet lagged and sick from his pregnancy. He was now feeling very refreshed and ready for the day ahead. They'd been staying in a room in the resort next to Pandora's room. His room was filled with pictures of what he recognised from time spent with James and Harry to be photos and ornaments of 'Mickey Mouse' and his friends. Regulus wasn't feeling nauseous or anything this morning which was a bonus he was however feeling hungry.
"Babe, I think I'm going to grab some breakfast with Pandora," Regulus said happily, giving his husband a quick kiss. James smiled at him and continued changing Harry's nappy,
"Ok baby, have fun. I'll meet with you later. Glad to see you up and about," James beamed. Regulus got dressed in black trousers and white shirt and blue jumper over it. Was important to keep warm December was only five days away after all, December being a cold month even where they were in America. He didn't want to think about them all camping through Christmas. These horcruxes were hardly going to be all found by Christmas but he was on holiday, he wasn't going to dwell on it he was going to have fun.
"The park is decorated for Christmas, it's actually quite breathtaking." James said happily lifting a newly changed Harry up.
"We should have dinner together in the park just me, you and Harry," Regulus suggested, giving both his husband and step-son a kiss on the cheek to say goodbye. He really wanted to try with Harry and wasn't fully sure how but he could try?
"I booked us into the Crystal Palace in case you were up today, it was only supposed to be me and you though. We can add Harry if you want. I'm sure there will be high chairs. Regulus hesitated a dinner alone with his husband seemed like a dream, he hesitated before he said,
"Yeah we'll bring Harry sure," smiled and walked out the door to meet Pandora. She was waiting outside his door about to knock, they both shared a short laugh. "Shall we go to breakfast then?"
"Yeah hold on I got you something," she pulled out a white crystal necklace that matched her own. He smiled in thanks and she helped him, "On our way then?" she beamed, linking their arms as they walked quietly talking about the crystals properties. He mostly smiled at as his friend before he realised something,
"Where is Luna?"
"Sirius and Remus have her," she said brightly and went on talking about how the crystal can heal. It was nice they were going to have breakfast without the babies (the ones that were not in his stomach) . It would give him time to recharge though he did love seeing his goddaughter.
"You should bring her into James and I's room. After dinner we could watch Sleeping Beauty," he suggested happily and she nodded in agreement.
"We are having breakfast at Cinderella's royal table because although Luna isn't here with us for breakfast I am spiritually five," Pandora laughed.
"I can be five with you for a morning," Regulus shook his head, corners of his mouth twitching. They walked through the park and Regulus took in the scenery. It made him feel like he was in the middle of a normal run up to Christmas for a moment he was full of wonder. What Regulus didn't expect when walked in was to see Narcissa and Andromeda sitting at a table with two empty seats. Narcissa looked horrified as 'Snow White' tried to engage with her while Andromeda laughed and took a photo. When the girl dressed up as the princess left Regulus zoomed over and wrapped Narcissa into a hug,
"Hey, Merlin Cissa, what are you doing here? Where is Draco? Also hi Andromeda, you two are in the same room oh god, I can't believe this," Regulus said not letting go of Narcissa
"Hi Darling, I'm here for you. Draco is with Ted, Sirius and his boyfriend as is Nymphadora. Where is it that they are having breakfast again Andromeda?" Narcissa squeezed Regulus tight.
"I think they are having breakfast with Winnie the Pooh. James and his son are joining them there I am pretty sure, and believe it or not Reggie, Cissa and I have been in the same room a lot since it all went down, it's just been kept quite hushed." Andromeda answered and Regulus let go of Narcissa and walked over to pull Andromeda into a hug.
"So Sirius knows you're here? Oh he'll be so happy. I mean I'm happy too. I've missed you too Dromeda it's just been a bit hectic recently," Regulus let go of her and squeezed her hand for a moment. Pandora took a seat opposite Andromeda.
"Yes Sirius knows angel, sit down and relax, never worry about it," Andromeda cupped his face for a moment and then let him go. He took a seat opposite Narcissa,
"I'm guessing Luicius knows nothing about this," Regulus choked out.
"You'd be quite right Reg darling, He thinks Draco and I are in France," she giggled and finished her mimosa. Regulus laughed at Narcissa's rebellion. They eased into conversation Narcissa listening to the words Draco could say. His most used being Momma, dada, spell, Dobby, wine. Regulus chuckled lightly at the last one. Then Andromeda was telling them all about 'Dora' who was 8 now and loved switching her hair between bubblegum pink and purple. Andromeda was telling how clumsy Dora was but how she found it endearing. She just hoped she wouldn't get hurt.
The waiter came over and the two sisters ordered another mimosa along with their breakfast which they'd requested caramel apple-stuffed french toast. Reg ordered a glass of apple juice and cup of tea and got the same food order as his cousin. Pandora clearly standing in solidarity with Regulus also ordered an apple juice and cup of tea. Regulus was grateful that for once someone had opted to remain sober with him. Her food order was Mickey shaped waffles which was technically on the kids menu but Andromeda talked the waiter into letting her order from there.
"So you two aren't drinking?" Narcissa asked raising an eyebrow,
"I'm pregnant." Regulus announced happily not feeling the need to hide it,
"I thought I felt the start of a bump when you hugged me," she said happily, taking his hand.
"Congratulations Reggie." Andromeda clapped,
"I'm not, I'm just being his no alcohol buddy," Pandora clarified. He had told Pandora when she came into check on him the second day and he'd been vomiting. She was overjoyed for him.
"You really deserve this Regulus!" Narcissa told him to squeeze his hand.
"Thank you Cissa, it's a girl by the way," he smiled happily rubbing his stomach. He knew James really wanted a daughter, he always did. He also was aware that she would tell him whether she was a girl or not. Not what was between her legs, but he couldn't help but dote over the thought of James getting a daughter.
"Oh amazing, I'm sure James is thrilled," Andromeda looked overjoyed for both him and James.
"Yeah how is James by the way, everything good between you two?" Narcissa asked.
"Yeah James is well he is okay as he can be with everything that happened recently. We are good, I love him so much, he can be a bit much at times to be honest but when it all boils down to it I wouldn't change it he is my toujours" which translated to both forever or always but he meant it as his forever.
"I mean you clearly didn't want them reading that diary," Pandora said and then her full lips were pressed thin.
"Yeah honestly he can be a prat, him and Sirius both but they are my prats," he laughed. The waiter brought their beverages and soon they were talking about other things, Pandora inviting them all to Luna's first birthday the day before Valentine's day. 'Cinderella' came over to compliment Narcissa's hair and tell her they had the same hair and she froze up. Regulus snorted and laughed into his apple juice. They happily ate breakfast then walked around the park until lunch time where they stopped in at diner for burgers. Regulus then went for a nap. When he woke he went to Sirius' room. He was staying in a princess themed room with Remus.
"Alright Reggie, we've missed you!" Sirius grinned, pulling his brother into the room. The room had wallpaper of the three princesses and pictures of them hanging and bedsheets with crowns. God it looked like a five year old girl vomited it all up.
"I'm going to dinner soon with James and Harry, do you want to dress me for it?" Regulus asked while playing with his rings he thought it might be fun even though they have different styles. Sirius started grinning again.
"Sure Reg. let's take a look at what I have." After a while of searching. They settled on a black skirt with pink stitching and a black netted top with a plain black top under it. Regulus was happy enough with the choice Sirius turned around for Regulus to change. The top went on easily but the skirt wouldn't zip up Regulus groaned and threw himself onto the bed.
"What's wrong?" Sirius spun around and Regulus gestured at the zip. Sirius tutted. "That zip is usually fine, let me see," he climbed onto the bed and tried to zip it up so it wouldn't go the whole way up. His eyes zoomed in on Regulus' stomach. Regulus stopped breathing for a second wondering if Sirius was going to lose it. Sirius, however, placed a kiss on Regulus' belly and started crying, hugging him.
"Hey," Regulus said softly.
"Are you?" Sirius choked.
"Yeah,"
"Reg that's amazing," Sirius hiccuped, "I mean shit timing cause we are hunting these horcruxes, but I am so happy for you Regulus," he dissolved into sobs. Regulus held him tight and he held Regulus in return,
"Sorry if I've been a bit shit recently. Honestly I just want to go home but James made the decision and I'd do anything for that man." Sirius choked,
"Shh it's ok, I love you. I honestly thought you'd have a bad reaction to this. I know, I get it, Sirius I really do. I want to go home too at times but I want these horcruxes gone more." Regulus said determintly
"We are going to stop the bastard ever coming back, don't worry Reg, your baby won't have to grow up the way we did," Sirius said, equally detriment. Sirius took out his wand and muttered an incantation to make the skirt a bit bigger and then zipped it up for his brother and kissed the side of his head. "You look great Reggie." he smiled.
"Thank you," Regulus smiled. "You know the stuff in Snape's diary it was all about Lily. It felt a bit weird. I wonder how James was able to read it. Also I just don't know I feel second somehow. I didn't feel second until she actually gave birth to Harry then I don't know i've just been weird. I'm sort of weird with Harry too. Is that bad?
"I think James just likes making fun of Snillivous but we'll not read from it again. Regulus, listen to me, you are not now nor never have been second to Lily. It was always you for James and I just had to come round to that fact. He never looked at her the way he looked at you and the night you came to tell me about the locket. Remus told me James told him drunk that he often pictured you when he was kissing her. I don't know if that makes you feel weird, I don't know why I mentioned that but the point is it was alway YOU. James loves you. I think he's only ever loved you when it comes to romantic love. As for the Harry stuff I see why you may be weird with him but give him a chance he's a great kid and that baby is going to be his sibling," he smiled.
A knock came on the door. Sirius got up to answer it,
"Pandora told me Reg was in here," he heard James's voice say. Sirius let James in
"Hey baby dinner is in an hour but I thought we could get a tea before? Wow you look amazing by the way very masculine," James commented.
"Yeah I'd love to get a tea with you," Regulus smiled.
"Remus said he'd bring Harry to the restaurant and hand him over before heading back to Sirius so its just you and me for tea," James smiled.
"It's a date darling," Regulus beamed and James outstretched his hand to help Regulus up.
Sirius
Everyone was in awe of all the rides the park had to offer. Draco, Harry and Nymphdomras eyes lit up as their heads all turned to try and see as much as possible. Sirius was vibrating with excitement; he believed he was the most excited out of everyone if he was honest.
The first ride that Sirius, James, Andromeda and Ted went on was the Pirates lair on tom sawyer's island , Sirius was enthralled with the large ship and animatronics. The four of them got off the ride laughing happily chatting amongst themselves.
"Enjoy that?" Sirius asked when they got off it.
"Yeah immensely!" James replied happily. " I think if Reg had come with us he would have enjoyed it as well" James answered as he turned to nod at Sirius, but Sirius was too busy looking over the leaflet at the other rides.
"I think we should do DAVY CROCKETT'S EXPLORER CANOES
next!" Sirius shouted and pushed the leaflet into James face as James was trying to talk to Regulus.
"Merlin Sirius!" Ted laughed and Sirius just smiled like a child at him.
"I really want to go on the boat," Sirius repeated and Ted laughed.
"Sirius son… you don't like getting your precious hair wet," Ted said and James laughed in agreement.
"You should have seen him when we were playing with water balloons, he had his hood up the whole time," James laughed.
"That my fellows were a different matter!" Sirius replied in defence, "I never wanted to play water balloons," He huffed.
"You were happy enough to throw them just not have them thrown back right?," Ted chimed in smirking.
"This is besides the point I have grown and matured now and I would like to go into the ride and have it soak me please!!!!" Sirius moaned and James rolled his eyes.
"Fine lets go," James answered and Sirius jumped up and down excitedly before taking off on the way to the ride.
They hadn't gotten wet as Sirius had wanted and to be honest Sirius was a bit let down by the ride. Sirius had demanded he and James sit at the very front so they could be the most wet, but none of that happened.
"That was actually quite lovely to be honest," Andromeda laughed as they joined the group again.
"I thought we were going to get wet on that ride," Sirius huffed as he shook his head.
"You cried to get on the ride Sirius didn't you read the description?," James laughed loudly.
"Yeah I know, I'm not complaining but…" Sirius was cut off by Andromeda.
"But you are," she replied, rolling his eyes and Sriius faked a look of hurt.
"You are never on my side," Sirius laughed.
"Not when you're being hard to listen to," she laughed as she answered as Lupin appeared by their side.
"Regulus and Narcissa are going to meet us for food," He said as he approached. Sirius nodded, his eyes taken in the man he loved.
"I'm having enough fun listening to the complaining dry miserable man that we have brought with us," Andromeda laughed and Sirius walked over to her and grabbed her by the shoulders and giving them a little squeeze before
"Padfoot fuck sake," James laughed as he tried to get inbetween Sirius and his cousin, "Leave her alone," James continued as Andormeda squirmed under his hands.
"Ok enjoy time wasting what's next?" Sirius asked excitedly as he opened the leaflet out wide again "We have plenty more rides to go on before we have eaten and I plan to get on as many of them as possible.
After agreeing on the next ride, Big thunder mountain railroad, it seemed like everyone was in a giddy mood. James, Sirius, Ted and Andromeda continued to go on Alice and Wonderland ride, Dapper Dans, 'it's a small world' and Space mountain.
Sirius' stomach grumbled as they came off the last ride, the kid chirping happily in their prams.
"I think it's almost time to eat," He said, "What time did they say they would meet us?" Sirius asked.
"When I was leaving they said about an hour and it's been about that so probably any minute now," Lupin answered and looked at his watch, "I think you could possibly have time for one more ride," He finished and Sirius smirked.
"The tea cups!" He announced and Lupin looked at him confused, "For the kids of course," Sirius finished.
"Sure for the kids," Lupin laughed as he rolled his eyes.
They made their way over to the tea cups and Sirius grabbed Nymphadora by the hand, Lupin lifted Draco and James lifted Harry. The three of them got into a group teacup and James and Lupin placed the smaller kids on their knees. The cup began to move slowly, turning in circles while the actual platform moved round as well. Sirius laughed loudly as little Nymphadora giggled beside him. This was what life was supposed to be like, making happy memories with family and friends, not haunting curse objects to make sure that some nutcase wouldn't come back from the dead to kill everyone. Sirius wanted nothing more than to make sure that couldn't happen, so that his niece would have a life where she wouldn't constantly have to worry about such things. Sirius made the mental promise that Reg's child, Nymphadora, Harry and Draco would never have to live the life they did.
Once off the ride the kids babbled happily and Nymphdora tried to climb back on but her mother pulled her back into her arms.
"Again, again, again," The three of them chirped loudly and the four adults just laughed.
"After lunch ok," James answered them as the four of them made their way to the diner. Narcissa, Regulus and Pandora already had a table when they arrived. Baby Luna was sitting up happily in a highchair.
"Momma!" Draco called as he tried to get himself out of the pram.
"Papa," Harry said as his eyes fell on Regulus, Sirius felt his heart swell. Regulus smiled at Harry and James leaned down to give Regulus a kiss on the top of his head.
"For Merlins sake can we please be PG about this lads," Sirius laughed, pretending to be serious.
"Sirius for once in your life just please close your mouth…" Lupin replied to him.
"I think that's the first time you have ever asked me to do that, Moony normally it-" Sirius smirked.
"SIRIUS!" Lupin and James called out loudly. The diner seemed to go quiet and Sirius just laughed.
"Normally you like to hear me singing…" is what I was going to say he smirked.
"I'm sure it was," Regulus interjected, "We know you better than you think Sirius," He continued and James laughed as he looked at the menu.
"Luna would have loved that Pandora," Sirius smiled at her.
"I bet she would have but she had other ideas she was out like a light after I fed her," Pandora laughed and took a drink of her cola.
The group all ordered the house special of extra large burgers and milkshakes. Narcissa and Andromeda ordered a glass of wine on the side as well. Sirius and Lupin ordered two beers. Sirius noticed that James had stuck to his cola and milkshake just like Pandora and Regulus.
"We have to take the kids back tomorrow, all of them this time," Sirius smiled and held his hand out for Luna to give him a high five, she instead threw the napkin at him, which caused him to chuckle.
"And maybe when you have your own too?" Cissy interjected, Sirius screwed up his face.
"No thanks I would rather have my Moony all to myself forever," Sirius smirked, "Children get in the way of… other activities," he continued and Lupin blushed.
"Honestly Sirius do you always just think with you parts," Pandora laughed and Sirius nodded.
"That is where my brain is after all and how can I not when it's Moony! I mean come on!" Sirius continued, which caused lupin to blush more as he chuckled.
"To be honest I think my hands are full already with this one - so it would be something I would be thinking about," she said which caused everyone to giggle and Andromeda nodded in agreement.
"I would NEVER get pregnant again!" Narcissa jumped in, "I love my Draco I truly do but but pregnancy isn't for me, the constant hungry feeling, swelling up, swollen ankles and hands, oh Merlin no," She laughed and took a sip of her wine as the food arrived at the table.
"I wouldn't mind another two or three if I really had to think about it but of course Reg that's up to you, it's your body of course," James smiled and gave him a kiss.
"Lets just get through this one first before you start planning more," Regulus replied with a smile. The kids at this point were more playing with their food than eating it.
"Another point children are incredibly messy," Sirius laughed as he looked at the kids.
"I'm sorry pot meet kettle," James jumped in, "You are one of the messiest people in the world, your wearing half that burger currently," James laughed and handed him a napkin.
Sirius looked down his top and sure enough some of his burger sauce had fallen from his burger. Sirius laughed and wiped it with a napkin.
"I'll need a bit of magic to fix that in the bathroom," Sirius whispered as Lupin chuckled at him.
"You're a mess Sirius Black but you're our mess," Lupin laughed and grabbed his lover's hand.
After everyone had finished their burgers, Draco, Harry and Luna needed changing so Pandora, James and Narcissa made their way to the bathrooms with them. Sirius could see Regulus looking at all the sweet stuff passing him as the waiters walked by.
"Need something sweet?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah I think it must be a craving but I don't know exactly what I want," Regulus replied and Sirius jumped up.
"I have an idea!" Sirius said happily, "Come with me!" He continued and grabbed Regulus by the hand, "Moony tell them we are going for waffles! We'll be back," Sirius spoke quickly as Lupin nodded at him and Regulus chuckled at the excitement in his brother.
"Where are we going?" Regulus laughed as they walked through the park.
"I found these things yesterday and I know for a fact it's actually just what you need," Sirius smiled and linked arms with his brother.
"Ahhh Sirius look!" Regulus said suddenly as he pointed to the person dressed as Alice, Regulus let out a little squeal of excitement, "I have to admit I'm a little excited to see her!" Regulus continued and Sirius felt his heart soften at the innocence of his brother at this moment.
"There is a ride that I HAVE to show you tomorrow on that note," Sirius smiled and Regulus looked at him intrigued. They stopped at a little waffle store and Sirius ordered them both Mickey Mouse waffles with all the toppings. Regulus' eyes lit up as he took his first bite. Sirius watched as his brother savoured the taste in his mouth.
"You always have known me the best," Regulus sighed out as they continued to eat their waffles, " Thank you for getting me these," he smiled and Sirisu nodded.
"A little treat from you big brother once in a while is nice," Sirius smiled and at his own waffles, "I feel like I need to say this out loud to get over my fear…" Sirius trailed off and Regulus looked at him concerned.
"Sirius, is everything ok?" He asked and placed his fork down.
"It's…. The Pluto costume… it made my skin crawl," Sirius said ashamed. Regulus stared at his brother for a moment, Sirius met his eyes and then in a flash Regulus was doubled over screaming with laughter. Sirius looked at him outraged.
"Sirius Black scared of a man in a dog costume!" Regulus choked out as he slapped his knee, "You can't actually be serious?" Regulus continued to laugh.
"You have to admit a dog of such a size and bright YELLOW is terrifying!" Sirius argued back in his defence which only caused Regulus to laugh harder.
"Sirius! children take pictures with him all the time," Regulus teased and Sirius huffed.
"Everyone is scared of something I guess," Sirius blew out a puff of air.
"Yeah, something that could harm them or family and friends, not a kids entertainer in a costume!" Regulus continued and Sirius rolled his eyes puffing out his chest.
"You know what I was joking anyway just to see what you would say I'm not actually scared," Sirius growled and Regulus smirked at him.
"Take a picture with him then," Regulus challenged and Sirius' face went pale.
"Oh would you look at the time Moony and I have plans for going out the town must get moving," Sirius snapped playfully and jumped up.
"Just exactly as I thought," Regulus laughed as he ate his last bit of waffles and stood up to follow his brother back to the hotel.
Once back with the rest of the gang at the Hotel Sirius actually did make plans with Remus to go for a night out on the town, just the two of them a few drinks, maybe hit the club. The other had decided they were going to go back to Narcissa's room and watch 'Alice in Wonderland' with the kids, Regulus had very quickly agreed to this arrangement as he was still buzzing from seeing Alice when he and Sirius had gone for the waffles. Sirius grabbed a quick shower and pulled on a pair of ripped jeans (which he had ripped himself), His biker boots and white plain t-shirt with his black leather jacket. He looked at himself in the mirror as Moony entered wearing a knitted jumper and tight fitting jeans.
"Well well well look at you Moony," Sirius winked, "Wearing the jeans I love to see you in the most," Sirius smirked.
"I grabbed the first pair I got my hands on," Remus laughed.
"Don't lie, you want to get lucky tonight… with me," Sirius winked again.
"You're so humble Sirius, did anyone ever tell you that?" Lupin joked as he grabbed his wallet and put it in his pocket and held the door open for them to leave.
"No exactly in those words…" Sirius laughed.
"No I think it was more along the lines of, Sirius if your head got any bigger you wouldn't fit through a door," Lupin laughed as they exited the room.
"See so humble I fill up a room," Sirius laughed.
"That's not what that means," Lupin rolled his eyes playfully.
The two men made their way to a nightclub outside of the actual park. The music was booming loudly and the place was packed with people just dancing and singing loudly, some of them seemed to be so zoned out they didn't know where they were, but they did seem to be enjoying it. Sirius made his way to the bar and order him and Lupin a Rum and coke. The bartender handed them over and both men stood watching the mass of people for a few minutes. Just taking in the scene and music around them.
"THIS PLACE IS REALLY COOL!" Sirius shouted over the loud music. The great thing about having a werewolf boyfriend was that even when there was loud music Lupin could always hear Sirius.
"YEAH! IT'S BUZZING WITH ENERGY!" Lupin called back and started to move his body slightly to the music.
"I COULD STAY HERE ALL NIGHT!" Sirius laughed and Lupin nodded.
"WELL IT IS OUR NIGHT OFF RIGHT?" Lupin answered back with a smile and Sirius nodded happily.
"I'M GLAD WE ALL DECIDED TO DO THIS BEFORE GOING ON HUNTING!" Sirius shouted, sipping his drink. Lupin nodded in agreement, "I MEAN IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE WE ARE BACK OUT HUNTING AND SHITE," Sirius rolled his eyes.
"THE THINGS WE DO TO KEEP THE WORLD SAFE," Lupin half smiled.
"YEAH! IT ALMOST SEEMS NOT FAIR THATS IT'S UP TO ALL US," Sirius was getting angry now at the thought, no help from Dumbledore or fuck all to look for these things and like its Dumblerdore nothing happens anywhere without him knowing again, Sirius thought to himself angrily. Lupin placed his hand on Sirius' face and smiled at him.
"LET'S JUST FORGET ABOUT THAT FOR TONIGHT YEAH? LETS JUST BE YOUNG AND CAREFREE" Lupin shouted and pulled Sirius towards the dance floor. Sirius allowed himself to be pulled as he drank his rum and coke, Pushing all the worries of the mission that they had to the back of his mind.
The two men continued to drink rum and cokes and dance to the music. The both of them are sweaty and going from slightly tipsy to well on drunk. Sirius never took his eyes off Lupin once as they danced close together, just becoming one as the people around them danced and sang their hearts out. Sirius never wanted this moment to end, he placed his lips on Moonys and smiled into the kiss as Lupin accepted his advance. Lupin's lips always had a way of melting Sirius' fears and worries away, like nothing else existed, only them two in the whole universe. Even here at the 'Happiest place in the world' all Sirius cared about in this moment was his boyfriend. Sirius pulled back and smiled into Lupin's eyes before someone tapped him on the shoulder.
"CAN I HELP YOU?" Sirius slurred, now on his fifth drink. Sirius was met with a cheery face of a tan man with dark eyes.
"I WAS WONDERING, YOU AND YOUR FELLOW HERE SEEM TO BE HAVING A LOVELY TIME TONIGHT BUT I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SOMETHING THAT WOULD MAKE YOUR NIGHT EVEN BETTER," He smiled and Sirius squinted his eyes at him. This guy didn't seem to be even trying to hide the fact of him trying to sell drugs. Sirius looked at Lupin who shrugged his shoulders.
"HOW MUCH FOR?" Sirius shouted back in his ear. The guys eyes lit up and he put his hand in his pocket.
"FIRST TRY IS ALWAYS FREE! TAKE IT AS A WELCOME GIFT FOR TRAVELLING SO FAR FROM THE UK," He smiled and Sirius took two of the pills from the mans hand and handed one to Remus who stared at it for a moment. When Sirius had turned back round the man had moved on to another group of people.
"HE MUST BE TRYING TO FIND SOME REGULARS!' Sirius shouted and Lupin nodded his head, still looking at the pill.
"I DON'T THINK THIS WAS A SMART IDEA!" Lupin called back and held the pill up to examine it.
"NEITHER DO I TO BE HONEST…" Sirius began before putting the pill in his mouth, "FUCK IT WERE IN FLORIDA MAY AS WELL," Sirius smirked and drank the pill down with his beverage. Lupin gave a little laugh and followed Sirius' lead.
"WE HAVE TO AGREE NOT TO MENTION THIS TO ANYONE!" Remus said.
"ESPECIALLY NOT REGULUS, HE'LL ONLY JUST LECTURE ME ABOUT TAKING PILLS FROM STRANGERS," Sirius laughed. The both of them continued to dance as they waited for the pill to kick in.
After about fifteen minutes Sirius felt like his skin was softer than it had been in his whole life. Lupin was dancing with his head thrown back as the song hummed loudly.
"I HAVE AN IDEA!" Sirius shouted suddenly and Lupin's head snapped to meet his eye, "LET'S DO TEQUILA!" Sirius continued and pulled Lupin back towards the bar. Once at the bar Sirius took his shirt off and lifted the shot and poured it into his collarbone, Lupin looked confused only for a second before he seemed to work out the plan of action. Lupin licked the salt and then placed his mouth over the opening of Sirius' collarbone and began sucking and licking the burning liquor out of the hole. Sirius put his hand in Lupins hair as he did this, Sirius could feel his body vibrating under the wet touch of his boyfriend. Fuck Sirius really wished they were alone right now, he wanted to rip Lupins clothes off.
After a few more shots, Sirius could feel the pills and drink in full swing now, he couldn't see straight at all and he had a feeling that most of the things coming out of his mouth probably wasn't making any sense.
"I THINK I WANT TO GET MARRIED," Sirius shouted and Lupin stared at him, again Remus being a werewolf meant he had a lot higher of a tolerance for pretty much anything so he really didn't seem much difference after all the drink and the pill he had taken. Lupin smiled at him and kissed his lips.
"Why the sudden change in heart?" Lupin whispered into Sirius' ear.
"NOT SO MUCH A CHANGE OF HEART…. I ALWAYS KNEW I WANTED TO MARRY YOU IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF WHEN!" Sirius shouted with a smirk.
"I knew from the first day I saw you I wanted you to be my husband," Moony whispered again and Sirius felt his cheeks redden, he wasn't sure if it was the drink or if he was genuinely blushing.
"I KNEW EVEN BEFORE I MET YOU!" Sirius smirked and Lupin shook his head playfully.
"THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Lupin shouted and now it was Sirius' turn to shake his head.
"NO IT'S NOT - I ALWAYS KNEW NO MATTER WHO EVER CAME NEAR ME NONE OF THEM WAS GOING TO BE THE ONE I MARRIED I KNEW IT HAD TO BE SOMEONE OUT THERE JUST AS MYSTERIOUS AS I WAS THAT WOULD BE MY PERFECT FIT," Sirius smiled and Lupin placed a small kiss on his lips. The both of them let the kiss linger.
"I NEVER WANT TO HAVE TO FACE ANYTHING WITHOUT YOU!" Remus shouted to Sirius.
"THEN MAKE ME OFFICIALLY YOURS FOREVER SOMEDAY!" Sirius smiled and emptied his cup. Lupin reached for a paper napkin that was sitting on the bar and Sirius watched as he ripped parts and tied part of it together. Sirius was truly confused as to what his boyfriend was doing right now until Lupin went down on one knee! Sirius gasped loudly and looked round as everyone was staring at them, The pills seemed to be making the light more sensual than they were. The music went quiet and Lupin opened his mouth to speak.
"Sirius Black my love…. My life line…. My soulmate… I could never imagine a moment in my life without you ever again. The years before we met were the worst years of my life because I didn't have you in them to tourture me and make me smile, or feel wanted or like I was just perfect the way I was…" Lupin stopped and took a deep breath as Sirius felt his eyes water, "Padfoot.. My pads, my star that will always lead me to where I need to go, the star and lingers in the air beside the moon just as we do together on earth, I don't have much to give you and I probably never really will but I have thought about this moment since first year, I always knew it would be you, even when you had those moments where it seemed like you didn't know who you were, even with the mistakes that you carry on your back like a burden I want to help you with all that, all your pain I want to kiss it away to be healed for you. I want to be in a group of people and be able to introduce you as my husband, my forever, my endgame - just for me to have and hold forever… will you do the honours of accepting this paper ring of a proposal?" Lupin finished with tears running down his face. Sirius felt like he wanted to jump on Moony right there and then and take him passionately and hungrily. Sirius nodded his head.
"YES! FUCK YES MOONY OF COURSE I WILL YES!!" Sirius screamed as he allowed Lupin to place the small paper ring on his finger, before jumping into his arms and kissing all over his face. The whole room erupted into cheers and claps as Sirius just continued to kiss Lupin over and over, every inch of his face, he didn't care who was watching. Lupin laughed loudly before setting Sirius down who just stared at his little paper ring.
Sirius couldn't stop smiling at the little ring on his finger.
"You would nearly think it was an actual ring," Lupin laughed and Sirius looked straight into his eyes.
"Anything you give me Moony means everything to me… i need you to know that! This may seem like just a paper ring but to me it's everything," Sirius said very seriously, his heart swelling with love.
"And your everything to me Pads… if I had never found you I don't want to even imagine how my life would have ended up if you hadn't saved me from myself… you help me learn to love myself," Lupin whispered and Sirius smiled at him.
"You loved me when I couldn't even love myself," Sirius replied and took his now Fiance's hand.
"We both helped each other know that we deserve love just like anyone else on this planet no matter what our pasts held," Lupin smiled and Sirius nodded.
"We we craved for each other," Sirius smiled and placed his hand on Moonys face, Moony closed his eyes and let Sirius hand linger on his cheek."We always felt like we were empty because there was a part missing and now we are complete together," Sirius continued and reached up to kiss Moony's forehead.
"I will do whatever I have to, to protect us," Moony smiled.
" We …" Sirius emphasised the word, " We will protect us" Sirius smiled and Moony nodded in agreement. The men spent the rest of the night kissing and dancing like they were the only people in the room. Sirius was high from the pill and from the proposal that to be honest he didn't even remember going back to the hotel or going to sleep, but all Sirius knew was he had the most happiest and peaceful dreams he had, had in weeks.
Notes:
We would never approve of what Sirius and Lupin did in the club, taking drugs off strangers is a very dangerous thing and we are not encouraging it. It's just a fic but it needs to be said what they did was reckless and stupid.
