The day was going fine for the Marauders. They sat out by the Black Lake, enjoying the the summer weather. Remus' head was in Sirius' lap, while Sirius ran his fingers through the werewolf's hair absent-mindedly. The former was reading a book that his parents had sent him. James sat against a tree trunk, legs flat in front of him. He released his stolen Snitch, catching it before it went too far away; and Peter watched him in admiration. All the while, the three – Remus was too busy reading to join in – talked eagerly about their next prank.
Yes, the day was going fine … until …
"Sirius, we need to talk. Now."
Those harsh words came from his livid younger brother, Regulus. Sirius pushed Remus' head out of his lap, but gave him his robes to use as a pillow until he got back. He followed Regulus off to another part of the lake, so the other Marauder's were out of earshot.
"What the hell was his head doing in your lap?!"
"We're best friends, we can stick our heads where we want."
"I don't see you with your head in Potter's lap!"
"Remus and I have a more physical friendship," he replied flatly
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you had feelings for that monster!"
Sirius' eyes narrowed dangerously. "Monster?" he spat.
"Oh, please, he just stinks of werewolf. He's not exactly subtle."
"You just stay out of my business, Regulus, and I'll stay out of yours."
"If you're gay, Mum will disown you in a heartbeat."
"I couldn't really care less. The Blacks aren't my family, the Marauders are."
Sirius turned around and stalked back to the Marauders, where he re-filled his place as Remus' headrest.
"So, what did he want?" Remus asked, looking up at Sirius.
"Thought I fancied you," Sirius replied calmly.
"And do you?" James teased.
Sirius smirked. "Oh, of course, James, darling. Who could resist this gorgeous beast?" he joked, putting a hand on Remus' chest affectionately and fluttering his eyelashes.
"And who could resist you, you little gay rebel?" Remus joined in, smirking.
"Not you."
"No, I can't."
The four boys burst into laughter, none of them noticing that Sirius' and Remus' cheeks were burning brightly. Well, we all have our secrets, don't we?
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you had feelings for that monster!" - Beauty and the Beast.
A/N: Another obsession I add into stories a lot - running fingers through other peoples hair xD I love it. My mental image is so adorable. Especially when it's two guys ^.^
Anyway, the quote I'm keeping this for: "We're best friends, we can stick our heads where we want." ... It's such a 'me' line, something I would say during my witty moments. I love it xD
My laptop recently (as in, about thirty minutes ago) got a virus, but luckily, I had already put this chapter in the Document Manager, so I'm just adding this extra Author's Note. My mum and I have done everything we can to get rid of it, but it won't budge. We're going to ask my next-door neighbour (The computer whizz xD) if he can fix it, but if he can't, we'll have to send it off for repair. Therefore, I won't be updating for a while ... unless I sneak onto my mum's computer while she's at work xD I'm sorry. This is completely out of my hands. I don't know how long it'll take, and I wish it wasn't happening. Don't leave?
