remus/sirius!

yall know me so well

when sirius first realises that he Likes remus (with help from lily. so much help from lily) the first place he goes is the library. he knows remus spends more time there than would be considered normal for a boy his age so sirius goes there. he wants to read some of remus’ favourite books so he goes to the librarian. he tries to be subtle about it but she knows what’s up, instantly. it goes sort of like “so. remus sent me here. remus, you know him? sort of this height. light brown hair, green eyes. hangs here all the time. anyway, he sent me here. he asked me, sirius, to go here. and pick up a book. he asked me specifically to go here. and ask u. to pull the records. and hand me the 10 books he’s borrowed most times. and bring them back to him. he asked me for that. i’m here because he asked me. to do that. he asked me.”

remus walks into the dorm and finds sirius lying in a weird position on his bed reading one of the books and he starts laughing and sirius looks up at him, arching an eyebrow. when he finally stops all he can get out is “you’re reading. you. are reading. why on earth are you reading war and peace? what’s going on. is this a prank. JAMES! where’s james? is this a joke???”

sirius looks offended. “i read,” he says. “what exactly is your point?” remus just stares at him. he doesn’t say anything but his gaze says everything for him. sirius black, you don’t fucking read. stop lying. what’s going on. 

sirius closes the book and sits up. he doesn’t know what to say because he can’t very well go about admitting why he’s reading, can he? so he picks up the other question remus launched at him and starts talking about james. “james is with peter. writing love poems. like the pathetic loser he is. tell me again why we’re friends with him?”

remus just mutters a “you tell me” under his breath and dumps down on his own bed, picking up a book. sirius looks at him for awhile while he’s reading and he realises just how incredibly fucking gone he is. he picks up war and peace again but he ends up just reading the same paragraph over and over again. why does remus lupin happen to good people.

for the 5 headcanons: college au remus/sirius

remus is taking a double major in gender studies and english lit. lots of people think it’s a weird combination but he loves it. his two main passions? incredible. sirius studies drama. (it started as a joke, actually. sirius was freaking out about what he was going to study and james asked “why don’t you study drama, you fucking drama queen. the course on how to ascend to a higher plane of gay is probably filled.” somehow, sirius thought it didn’t sound all too bad so here he was.)

sirius also works part time in a local coffee shop. he has to earn for a living somehow. he hasn’t spoken to his family since he was 15 and taking up contact and asking for help is nowhere on his to do list. he is Over them. 

one rainy day remus stumbles into the shop looking like a drowned puppy. sirius takes pity on him (or more likely: he thinks he’s hot and want to, you know, get into his pants) and gives a coffee on the house. remus insist he can’t accept that. sirius insists he has to. remus says no. sirius says then if he really want to pay he can buy one for him. 

remus obliges, not fully realising that sirius is flirting. there’s nobody else there so they sit down by a table and sirius asks all the standard question. what’s your name. where are you from. what’re you studying. when remus says what he’s studying remus arches his eyebrow and his interest is awoken. gender studies. “so what’s your gender, mr lupin?” he asks, straight-forward. “who knows, really,” remus says. “i think i turned it off at some point to conserve energy.” 

sirius spits out coffee laughing. remus asks what he’s studying and he tells. “oh,” remus says. “so i’m talking to a future broadway star?” “duh,” sirius says. “i’m going straight for hollywood. get in loser.” remus just looks at him and just then sirius thinks he might want just a little more than one fuck out of this dude.
