cherry // from poppies in october (r/s)
He remembers visiting Remus the summer after sixth year, mid-July, when this thing of theirs felt so achingly palpable, yet fragile, too—a spun-glass bauble snatching and refracting the clean light between them. A flurry of question marks catching in their fringe like fresh flakes of snow. Ripe, unbitten cherries under each of their tongues.
-
sofa // from white sheets, in the closet (r/s)
Remus’s mother has bridge on Thursdays, and his father ministers to the sick, so the two of them have run of the Lupin household well into the evening before Sirius has to skedaddle. It’s a cramped little house in a modest part of town, bauble-bright aluminum Christmas tree standing sentinel in one corner of the living room, a worn-out old Gibson upright occupying another corner near the shabby floral sofa. Decent enough, all told, but you don’t look around and get the impression that Pastor Lupin’s been skimming the collections basket.
-
blink // also from white sheets ^^
His fist collides like a brick with Sirius’s face. Sirius’s vision blurs and he tastes slick hot tin in his mouth. Someone—Remus—grabs him by the arm. He blinks, steadies himself, balls his right fist and gets ready to blindly swing while the world swims in and out of focus—

kiss // oooh please like imma have a fic without this word !! from poppies in october ^^
They sleep together in the bed, because Sirius insists and in the absolute best way possible Remus hasn’t an ounce of fight left in him to argue, and the next morning Sirius cooks them omelets while Remus pours them tea and then pulls a face when Sirius dumps, like, four fucking tablespoons of sugar into his cup. But when Sirius kisses him over the table, mouth hot and slow and four-tablespoons sweet, Remus honestly doesn’t mind.
