Where: Remus & Sirius' flat Who: @afracturedstar

Remus was currently staring at some strange piece of furniture that had appeared in their flat as happened sometimes with pursed lips. It looked like Sirius had picked up another stray and brought it back with him. He understood the need to make things homey but wasn’t sure how adding garbage off the street achieved that as you never knew what it might be infested with. And with so many rescue missions things tended to pile up and bring their home into the range of cluttered which tended to set him off a bit. By all means, he wasn’t the most organized or the neatest his room more organized chaos than anything as if reflecting his mind but he made more of an effort with the common area. Wait, did something just crawl out onto the top of it? He shuddered resisting the urge to itch with the way it made his skin crawl. “Sirius….Sirius! We need to talk about this,” he called sure he had heard Sirius in his room earlier, not sure when he had snuck this thing inside. He heard shuffling inside so he went to meet him at his door. “What did I tell you about picking things up off the street? That was on the street,” he emphasized not sure what he didn’t understand about that. “No idea how long or what merlin forsaken thing happened to it. Could be a rat convention in there, did you look?” he questioned turning back to look at the item in question as if expecting said rats to come spilling out. He fidgeted with his shirt feeling itchy again. “I really don’t want to have fleas on top of everything else.”

In order to get his boss to give him the few days he needs later in the month for his ever so lovely transformation, Rem has agreed to working a lot of extra hours, this day just happened to entail a straight through double. Perhaps the highlight of his shift was a couple from America that decided to vacation in London since graduating from their school. Had his life ended up a bit differently then he’s sure he would be doing the same thing, or at least be employed at the Ministry doing exactly what he wanted since his third year at Hogwarts. Still after a rather grueling shift of being on his feet and pretending to empathize with shady people all day Rem just wants to hug his bed.

Once back at the townhouse he passed by the kitchen to see the same boxes of takeout that was there before he left. The tired man only smiled with a slight shake of his head, thinking that it was definitely going to be tomorrow’s problem. The house was quiet, maybe too quiet. Perhaps James and Sirius were plotting something and were going to prank him just as they usually do since they all graduated from school. Truth be told Rem liked the healthy pranks they pull since it distracts him from the harsh realities, but if they were up to something tonight he might just get them back a tenfold. Rem was rather cautious as he headed upstairs and when nothing happened when he got to his bedroom door, he almost sighed with relief. When he entered the room he stood there aghast at how trashed the room had become while he was away at work. His eyes drifted from his bookshelf to the culprit who was sprawled across his bed, beer bottle still somehow in his hand and what little remained was slowly dripping to the floor.

Instead of trying to nudge Sirius until he reluctantly wakes up Rem decides to grab hold of his wand from his back pocket and points it towards the sleeping drunk. «  Aquamenti  »  A small jet of water erupts from the tip of his wand and towards the man on his bed.

Summer of 1976

Walking past the Black mansion and heading straightly to the gardens Alecto hissed when an especially nasty mosqiuto didn’t stop flying around her head. There were a lot of things the young girl loved about summer but the plague of those insects surely wasn’t part of that. What surely was a great part was the fact that there was no school, while she enjoyed not being at home she never was quite fond of all the reading they were supposed to do. So far the summer had been mostly spent with Amy, wandering around amelessly, spending some time at the beach, trying to get away from their parents who had apparently started a new attempt at getting them under better control. 

It really was ridiculous, considering they had learned to fight them so early on in their lifes. Learned to form one unit, always ready to defend the other if needed. But now it seems as if they’d decided to use another tool, one that a lot of pureblood families liked to use: marriage. Right after Alecto had been told she asked Amy to pack his things and both of them disappeared for a few days. When they came back Aly had calmed down a little, she was still terribly angry at her parents for just selling her like some farm animal but there was not much she could do about it at that point and the wedding wouldn’t take place for a few more years. Maybe there would still be a way out of this, right now she was only engaged... still a strange feeling but at least it wasn’t with some stuck up douche or even somebody way older than her. 

After managing to deal with it herself she had realized that there must be one other person struggling with this the same as she did. One person who would understand her perfectly well. One person she needed to talk to about this. Finally arriving at her desired destination her gaze quickly found Sirius sitting in the grass, apparently lost in thought. Dropping down next to him she was silent for a second before she nudged his shoulder with hers. “I come bearing gifts.” She said grinning as she pulled out the bottle of firewhiskey she stole from her dad and a joint, generously provided by Amy. Leaving it up to him in which order they’d start she looked up towards the sky, squinting at the sun. “How has summer been treating you, got any chance to get away from your family?” She asked, starting up the conversation easy seemed like a good idea.

Remus & @ghostedstar​​ Their flat, morning after the ball

Mornings were tough - more specifically, the ones that didn’t require needing to get out of bed to deal with adult responsibilities. Those moments had grown less frequent now that the world outside their bedroom had taken a more serious turn and Remus was all too happy to revel in them. Unsurprisingly, he had awoken shortly after the sun rose. Try as he may, he could never seem to sleep in past nine - a trait that had been fostered by his upbringing.

He kept his eyes closed for several minutes. The only hint toward being awake was his shifting closer to Sirius, practically enveloping the shorter male in an attempt at keeping warm. Their comforter was more than enough but Sirius always seemed to radiate heat. He could hardly be to blame for preferring having Sirius beside him over the sheet.

“Can we just stay here for the day?” The question escaped mere seconds after feeling Sirius stir against him. “Last night’s festivities came with enough excitement to last me until the full moon.”
