âHey,â Sirius said, grinning at the way Remus jumped a bit before turning around to greet him, his face breaking into a huge, nervous smile.
âHi, baby,â he whispered reverently, moving to pull Sirius into his arms. âHowâre you doing?â
âHonestly? Better than I thought Iâd be,â he answered, laughing against Remusâs chest. âMânot nervous at all. It just feelsâŠsurreal.â
âWell, Itâs good to know youâre not nervous,â Remus chuckled, pulling back to brush their lips against each other. âIâd be a bit terrified if you were.â
âOi!â Sirius frowned. âSânot like Iâve been given the best role models when it comes to this stuff! Iâm basically destined to fuck this up, you know?â He said it as a joke, but the anxiety was there, coloring every word.
Remus, however, was steadfast. âNo. Not us. Not together,â he said softly.Â
It was Remusâs reassurance that filled Sirius with true excitement. Happiness. Joy in what they were about to do. The anticipation stole the air from his lungs in the best way. âIâm glad itâs you, Moons,â he said softly, the admission making tears prick at his eyes.
âItâs always been you, love,â Remus replied, beaming.
âRem, are youâ?â Lily began to ask, pushing the door of the room open with a bang and stopping short when she saw them there together. âOi! You twoâre supposed to be in separate rooms! Youâre ruining the whole concept of seeing each other for the first time when you walk down the aisle!â she yelled, looking both annoyed and affectionate. âOut with you, Sirius, before I call for James!â
âCouldnât resist,â Sirius grinned, moving to adjust Remusâs tie before he went. âSee you out there, Moony?â he asked, knowing the next time he saw Remus, it would be to call him his husband.
âCanât wait,â Remus replied, beaming.
