Prompt 25 - First Holiday
@wolfstarmicrofic January 25, word count 240
“Remus, I have a surprise for you,” Sirius announced, his hands hidden behind his back and the brightest smile on his face. Remus looked up from the essay he was finishing.
“What is it?” He asked warily. He’d been caught off guard too many times thinking all Sirius’s surprises were good ones and had learnt to shield pretty effectively.
“Well, you know how next year is NEWT’s?”
“Yes.”
“Well, we’re all going to be really stressed and won’t have a lot of time for fun, so I thought,” He held out a sheaf of parchment. Remus gingerly took it.
“This had better not be one of your essays for me to correct,” He said, narrowing his eyes at Sirius as he began to flick through the pages. “Sirius, is this?” He asked in disbelief.
“Yup, we leave after the full moon and come back the day before the next one.” Remus’s eyes prickled, and he blinked the tears away.
“Wow, this is amazing, Sirius,” He stood up and pulled him in for a deep kiss. “Come on,” He murmured against Sirius’s lips, pulling at his tie as he led him upstairs, taking their travel documents with them for their summer in the South of France. It would be their first holiday together, and Sirius couldn’t have picked a more perfect time. They’d be nice and relaxed in time to be utterly crushed under the workload he expected for NEWT’s year.
