Remus points a blessed sword against the side of the demonâs throat, eyes narrowed in his direction. He feels Minerva McGonagallâs divine energy as she apparates beside Remus.
âLeave her alone,â he warns in a low voice.
The demon, Sirius, slowly turns around with raised brows. Both Minerva and Remus scowl at him. Sirius had always been a threat to them. Always found a way to corrupt humans, especially the ones assigned to specific angels.
âShe isnât doing anything she doesnât want to,â he replies, unbothered about the divine beings in front of him. Youâd need to be a major nuisance to have not one, but two angels corner you. And yet, he was indifferent.
Minerva steps forward, quiet and lethal. âYou are encouraging a range of unhealthy activities. Drinking, drugs, luring her to thisâŚâ she scrunches her nose at the club they were standing outside of.
Sirius grins as if theyâre all sharing a mutual joke. âI know, isnât it fun?â
Minerva looks down her nose at him like he is nothing but filth. âShe is under our guidance.â
âIs she?â Sirius asks innocently.
Marlene McKinnon stumbles out of the club in that moment, bottle in hand as she sings out of key. Remus doesnât need to check to feel the drugs in her system.
Minerva thins her lips. They had lost another one. If there was one thing Remus knew very well, it was that angels were not as forgiving as humans made them out to be.
Remus redirects his sword so itâs right under Siriusâs chin, almost touching him before Sirius flinches away. Blessed weapons had the ability to injure a demon painfully. âYou turn them all like you. You ruin everything good. Nothing thrives in your presence. You are a leach,â Remus hisses.
Siriusâs eyes flash in warning. âCareful, angel. Donât forget Iâm not above tearing the wings off your back.â
Minerva tenses and Remus can see her calculating. He knows she is thinking about killing him. He also knows that theyâre both aware that they canât. Not when Sirius belongs to a dangerous family. Killing him would cause a chain of events they didnât want to deal with.
This is why Remus had come. To make sure someone didnât die.
Another woman walks out of the club and makes her way to Marlene. Remus watches as she pulls her in for an embrace. Marlene grins up at her before leaning in for a deep kiss.
Minervaâs wings ruffle in agitation at the display.
A tremor goes through Remusâs own, for reasons other than annoyance.
âWe will guide her back,â Minerva cautions, wings pulled tight. âOutside of drugs, you have nothing. You are nothing. She will come to the same realisation.â
Sirius glowers at her then directs it to Remus. âWhat makes you think I wonât torture him. Heâs also nothing. Thereâd hardly be a consequence.â
That much was true. Minerva was more like Remusâs⌠mentor. She was a higher up. He was, well, replaceable.
She gives him a deadpan look. âIâll kill you.â
With that, she disapparates.
Remus watches Sirius with stiff shoulders, feathers ruffling from anticipation. They stare at each other, both bracing for bloodshed.
They wait and wait and Remus realises no other angel is coming.
Sirius seems to realise it too.
He is on Remus in a second, hand on Remusâs throat to pin him against the wall. Remus lets out a grunt at the force as Sirius drops his hand to pin him by the hips instead. Remus shivers when he feels Siriusâs hot tongue sliding down his throat. His mouth opens instinctively and he tugs at Siriusâs hair to connect their mouths.
It should be mortifying how quickly that hot liquid of desire spreads through Remus. He is already moaning lightly against Siriusâs mouth, tugging, tugging, tugging to get him even closer.
âMy beautiful angel,â Sirius whispers against him, leaving wet kisses across his jaw. Remus sighs contently, spreading his legs so Sirius can be between them. When that doesnât feel close enough, he attempts to wrap his legs around the otherâs waist. Sirius gets the message instantly and indulges him.
Remus loves the closeness.
âHave they been nice?â Sirius murmurs, still leaving kisses across his body.
Remus ignores him. âStop stealing my humans. Youâre going to make it obvious,â he breathes out shakily.
He feels Sirius grin against his throat. âNo, they wonât suspect anything. We hate each other.â
Remus arches against him with a gasp when Siriusâs hand slips under his shirt and up his body. âAbsolutely loathe each other,â Remus agrees breathily.
He holds Sirius close, deepening the kiss as Sirius tenderly strokes his wing.
âMissed you,â Remus mumbles and Sirius hums. âI missed you too, had to get your attention.â
Remus tries to pull back to give him a disapproving look but Sirius just leans in to kiss his furrowed eyebrows.
Remus gives up. âYouâre going to leave traces of yourself on me.â
âIâll wipe my aura off you,â Sirius mumbles, still peppering him with kisses anywhere he could reach.
âOh,â a voice says. Remus pulls back to look at Marlene who begins to grin widely. âFuck yeah Sirius, this is a win for the gays tonight.â
Sirius looks at her smugly as she drags her lover away, saying something about recreating what Sirius was doing. Remus is instantly curious about that interaction as it wasnât common to directly interact with humans. Both Remus and Sirius were glamoured to look more human so she hadnât seen the wings or horns.
Sirius mistakes the look on Remusâs face. âSheâs fine, just partying,â he says, knowing Remus was still an angel at the end of the day.
Remus canât even think to reply because Sirius is leaving love bites, pulling pleasurable sighs out of Remus and oh, does it feel lovely.
Sirius had won twice today.
Corruption, afterall, was his strongest ability.
