Who: Remus Lupin^div & Sirius Black^baby
What: Talking. Remus is bringing tea.
Where: Sirius' room
When: Sunday afternoon/evening
Warnings: "Fan required" - Sil

It took Remus longer than he anticipated because he stopped to make tea. Since it would have been rude to show up at someone's door with your own tea and none to offer, he then had to make two cups. He then carried them to Sirius' room and tapped on the door with the toe of his boots. Sure, he could have used several spells to make the whole process easier, but he really didn't care. Especially not now with his mind distracted as it was. His earlier conversation with Theodora had his thoughts going in plenty of directions.

With that smirk firmly and comfortably in place, Sirius rolled his eyes as if Remus were making excuses. But it didn't matter. His name was there now, and his name would always be there. It brought back memories of climbing that marble hallway naked, using his tunic as an instrument to get up there first. He still had the tunic in his closet. The letters would look even better once they fully healed. "Excuses," Sirius joked, "Making me wait so long for it." His finger lingered a few moments extra, "You wanted me to be done first." His hand lifted off to point to the area on his chest where Moony's name curled up.

"Fits perfectly," Sirius continued staring a bit longer, without even thinking about it. Talking like that just slipped comfortably into place, as easily as on the journals. This, of course, was naturally more private. But that wasn't affecting it. They'd snuggled publicly while watching tv after the flip. Remus was just comfortable to be around.

"That's not true," Remus pouted slightly at the implications. "I wouldn't have minded going first, it just so happened that you were too impatient to wait for yours." Circumstances and all. But he kind of liked the way Sirius put it. "I am honored to finally bear yours in return." His grin was wide enough to show teeth.

"Oh, stop," he chuckled, acknowledging the flirting tone that was present once more, "someone might see and think you're into me or something." Even as he joked, the dreamy expression he wore was almost too natural to seem mocking. Because it was natural. Remus still wasn't thinking about it.

Oh, the pout was not a fair play, Sirius thought. Remus made too many irresistible faces to be allowed to use them. It made the playing field uneven. "I don't wait for things," Sirius replied, "I was going to get it so I got it. Fairly simple, Moonykins." His head gave a little bow, as if bestowing that honor upon Remus. He had to master that minister of magic authority thing. It was far too much fun. "For the rest of your days," Sirius added. Remus was his, and he was Remus's.

"And?" Sirius asked, "Do you want them not to think that?" He was still teasing, still flirting, but he was curious. If Remus really didn't want people to think that, it hurt a little that idea, but Sirius was good at respecting serious wishes. There was something in Remus's voice that made something sound genuine there, but which way Sirius wasn't sure. And he wanted to know.

"Well I'm glad that works for you," Remus was sharp and quick with his words, though they were never meant to be mean. Not unless he was actually mad, which was one of the furthest emotions away from the ones he currently felt. "Yep." His lips mashed together as he reached up to run his own fingers over the fresh letters.

"I don't care what they think," his eyes rolled just slightly. If he truly cared about something like that, he would be a much different person by now. Besides, he didn't think he'd care if anyone thought that about them specifically. Things could be cleared up if necessary.

"It does," Sirius retorted immediately. In his favor or not, it meant he got what he wanted or he didn't. Time wasn't wasted, not when it wasn't doing any good. That's why he was able to look at Oscar without feeling like a knife was sinking into his heart. There was some ache, yes, but that was natural. It was better for Sirius, healthier for him. Remus wasn't like that so much, and Sirius didn't hold it against him. And his smile still stuck around. There was something about watching Remus play with the tattoo...

That was where that badass side of Remus showed again, the one that had taken some getting used to. The way he said it, not just that he meant it. "Besides," Sirius pointed out, "The only people who could walk in unannounced are Molly and Astrid. I doubt they'd mind." His girls, as in his daughters and his wife, were the most supportive of him in this sphere. Sirius appreciated it because he still remembered the feeling of dread in his stomach at coming out to his children and wondering how they'd respond. He hadn't done it, of course, but his kids had aged up to the point he had in their worlds.

"It's a good thing." Sirius had a straightforwardness that got him many places, it seemed like this was almost always true among them. Not only was it just an admirable quality, but people responded well to it as a characteristic that made them even more charismatic.

"Ah, so we're safe," Remus' voice lowered to a harsh whisper that was as ominous as it was soft. He wasn't trying to imply that gave them freedom, or really anything, but it often came out that way despite his efforts. Distracting himself from that, he let out a soft hum and let his head fall back against the couch.

Sirius smiled happily. Yes, it was a very good thing. It was also why he didn't think about things too early. Waiting to make a decision killed him, whether there was good reason or not, so he made the waiting not torturous. Whether it was raising girls, kissing boys, or anything else, Sirius gave the serious things some time before thinking on them. "Glad you like it," Sirius replied, emphasizing like it with a different tone, silly sounding as it was.

His voice caught in his throat, like they had to keep quiet, even though what was said went against that. It didn't matter. It made sense when it happened. "Completely... safe," Sirius replied, feeling Remus's head and neck trapping his arm to the couch in a way he was fine with. "Got something in mind?"

Well he hadn't exactly said that, not that it wasn't true, so he merely raised a brow at Sirius. There was some amusement in him jumping to conclusions like that, even though he was right. Of course, that conclusion wasn't exactly far-fetched.

At first Remus had zero ideas. Since he didn't want to admit that, he took a few seconds to really think. When it came, his head perked up and he grinned at Sirius. "Truth or dare." A silly game but it was one that felt like it was perfect for this situation. Daring, but not necessarily bad.

His eyebrows went up in response, like saying, "What? Am I wrong?" Sirius knew the answer to that, so he didn't put forth the rhetorical questions. Waste of time. Instead, he was snug and secure in the truth of his statement. Remus liked that, liked that about him. Instead he started humming, nothing in particular, though it was bound to end up being a song he didn't know the lyrics for well enough.

It did, sure enough. And the inability to remember lines was driving Sirius crazy. I something something with you something something something. Or maybe it wasn't with but to. He didn't know for sure. So when Remus spoke, he stopped humming. Truth or dare? His smile broke out even larger. "Hell yes, Moony," Sirius even pulled his arm back so his hands could rub themselves together enthusiastically. "So, truth or date, mate?"

The humming didn't bother him at all. It was a nice background noise until he broke the silence. Then they seemed equally as eager to play this game. He thought about that question, wondering which one he was going to pick, which one he felt more in the mood for.

Since he was already good at telling Sirius anything, he decided to go with the other option. Plus, he was curious as to what Sirius would come up with, though that could always go in the form of a question. Anyway, he was from Dauntless. So why not. "Dare."

Excited as he was, Sirius turned sideways on the couch, his legs coming up to sit cross-legged. The move made him perilously perched on the edge of the couch, but his balance prevented him from falling on the floor. His hands ran along his thighs as he thought about it, about what he'd ask for depending on what Remus said. His tongue slipped out, running along his upper lip, as he sat there watching him.

"What to dare a Dauntless," Sirius muttered out loud, humming again to himself, the jeopardy theme song this time. His eyes glanced around the room. "Make that lamp sexy," Sirius pointed to a tall floor lamp in the corner, his eyes lighting up.

Remus' gaze switched to Sirius' hands as he kept his position on the couch. His lips were turned mischievously, daring him to dare his best. There wasn't much he wouldn't do, after all. He laughed at the dare and turned to get a good look at the lamp.

"The problem, you see, is that sexy is up to the eye of the beholder." He squinted, brows furrowed as he considered it. Then, with a flick of his wand, the lamp transformed until it resembled the statue of David. Sexy and classic, as well as modest. Remus chuckled and turned for approval.

"Okay, truth or dare, Sirius Black?"

His fingers tapped against his legs as he waited. There had been an interpretation he had in mind, but it was more fun to see what Remus thought of it and what he did than forcing Remus into a corner. Corners were more comfortable than edges, but they were both more comfortable on the couch. And David was a classic, without even a fig leaf in front of his modest sized junk. Marble wasn't the medium for exaggeration, not when that wasn't the point of it. But his head gave a small turn of appreciation.

"I've seen sexier, but I'll agree with that," Sirius replied, looking over still at where Remus sat, shirt still open more than usual for the tattoo. "And it's me, love. Got to do dare."

"What were you expecting?" There had to be something Sirius was imagining when he said it and Remus wanted to know what that was.

"Alright," the corner of his mouth twitched and Remus' arms bent until his elbows were on the back of the couch. "I dare you to get what you want most right now." He didn't like the dares that only had one route either. It was more interesting if the other person had some creative wiggle room, and their dares were more telling than the average one.

Remus wasn't being innocent at all, either. He wanted to push Sirius, to see what he would do. It could make everything a lot easier and simpler, and yes he was still flirting with not-so-naive looks.

Making a bit of a pout, Sirius looked at Remus and made him wait a good few seconds before answering. "I was expecting you to make it sexy, you know, you and the lamp." Sirius laughed, it had been a ridiculous idea he hadn't really expected it to happen. It had just been what was running through his mind at the time.

His fingers then his palms hit against his legs as he thought about the dare. What he wanted most? Right then? And it was meant to be selfish, or so it sounded. Besides, he couldn't just make Astro or Astrid suddenly feel better because he was dared to. Nor were they there at the moment. Wanted for him, wanted for him, ... Sirius wanted to be over Gamma, completely. That wasn't so much something to do action-wise. And while he'd always care for Oscar, that was different than being over him.

There was a way to test that though. His stomach flipped a little, but Remus was looking at him like that, like he was just waiting for Sirius to do something. So Sirius leaned forward, kissed Remus on the cheek, and sat back. His head tilted, and Sirius was amazed at the lack of guilt he felt. Maybe he really was over Oscar. Sirius grinned.

"Oh," Remus understood it that time and couldn't help but laugh. "So that's what you meant." Maybe if he had gotten it the first time he would have done it that way. Not that he was sure how exactly one went about making a lamp sexy with nothing to help.

Remus waited patiently for Sirius to do something. When he finally did, Remus smiled and tilted his head for just a second. His attention settled on Sirius for only a moment or two and then he gave a nod. "That makes it my turn. I'll go with truth this time."

Remus had yet to prove his mind anywhere as dirty capable as Sirius's. And he hadn't, thus, had to make a lamp sexy. In drunken evenings, Sirius had committed similar acts before, being encouraged on by good company. Admittedly, he didn't think his Sirius had always approved, despite the little smiles he tried to hide. But the David was nice, even if it didn't light up the room the same way as before. But maybe he could make it a lamp.

His eyes was all on watching Remus's reaction to the kiss then. Sirius had been selfish in doing it, doing what he had wanted. He hadn't thought about the consequences of it, other than continuing not to be the chicken in their flirting, as it went on. As for truth, Sirius wiggled his toes in thought, "Why'd you choose to tattoo me with your name like that?" He hadn't cared, having liked it, but he wanted to know.

No, Remus didn't usually go straight to dirty things or think them up all on his own. He easily could be dirty, but he still wasn't entirely comfortable when Sirius chose to be naked - whether while climbing a building or at a dance. That was just the way he was but it didn't make him like Sirius any less.

He took in a deep breath after the question had been posed. "Well, you had already chosen for me to have your name, so it was only a fair choice," Remus glanced up to look him directly in the eye before continuing, "And since you're close with your own Moony, it makes sense to have a good, meaningful tattoo. Especially for your first one. I can't lie and say I won't enjoy seeing my own handwriting there, of course, and I dunno. It just looks nice." He shrugged and ran a hand through his hair, ruffling the middle part that usually stuck up in several directions.

They were comfortable and having a fun, if so far modestly tame, game of truth or dare. The oldie but goodie never had a reason to be shunned. Sirius was thirty, by two counts, but the big three oh wasn't going to make him suddenly grow up a lot more and stop having fun. He was plenty grown up. Sure he let loose here in some ways he wouldn't back home. Naked at a ball wasn't something a budding politician could get away with, even him. But Sirius hadn't ever wanted to do that there anyway. Here, someone else had the power to do that without needing permission whenever they wanted. Sure Gamma wasn't the sort to do that. But his point stood. It changed social norms. Anyway, he was waiting to hear about his tattoo.

Resting his elbow near his knee, Sirius leaned forward a bit, resting his chin on his hand, and looking up at Moony, just looking and not saying anything and inviting more and more of an answer. "Mmhmm," Sirius agreed, but he kept looking at Remus, like he fully expected the man to say more. Sirius did. So he just kept looking and waiting expectantly.

Remus couldn't help but laugh, nervous under the close scrutiny. Sirius wanted more, he could tell, but he didn't know what more to say. "Uhm," he stalled, pulling an arm down to wrap his fingers around his chin in thought. "Well, it's Moony rather than Remus because Moony means much more, you know? Anyone can be a Remus, but not everyone has a Moony, and you, all of you, have helped all Moonys."

Letting out a sigh, he relaxed and put his elbows back on the top of the couch and he stared back. "I don't know what else you want," he said, though he was smiling like he would gladly give more if he could.

It was adorable, the way Remus got nervous. Sirius was just Sirius, same ol' as he had always been. Admittedly, each of them was fairly different and Sirius was now finally out of a funk that had lasted alost a month. But still, he was himself. And he wanted more, as he always wanted. And saying exactly what it was? That didn't make Moony squirm as much. Silence was so much more enjoyable for that. He smiled though, at the talk of Moony and Remus. It was rather fitting that his nickname for this Remus was Inked Moony. Not only did Moony have tattoos but he was tattooed, inked in, on Sirius's skin. In Remus's handwriting.

"Only all of you," Sirius replied, half-joking without any thought of it. But he smiled, sitting up a little straighter. "I'll take another dare, love," he added. Leaning back a little, he stretched his sides, as if leaning forward had cramped him in any way. It hadn't.

"Well I'm right here," Remus offered quietly, under his breath, the words fitting his body language entirely. He was there - Merlin, he didn't know how he'd gotten to this point - offering himself like he was ready for someone to have him. Whether that was physical or metaphorical; it worked both ways if you looked at like that. But he had to come up with another dare.

"Hum." For some reason, it came a lot quicker than he expected and the idea had Remus laughing to himself. Even if he wanted to take everything slow and not rush or think about it much, he was getting frustrated with how things were progressing. Clearly they got along well and liked in each other in some manner. "I dare you to stay still," his lips quirked in a grin and then he brought his knees up on the couch so that he was facing Sirius.

Leaning forward, his hands planted on bare spots of the cushions to hold himself up and he lingered just inches in front of Sirius. The dare didn't really matter, at least not to him, and especially not when he pressed their lips together. Remus kissed him slowly, slightly teasing since Sirius wasn't really allowed to move.

Sirius's eyes dropped for a moment, just to look at all of Remus, the way he sat on the couch, his adam's apple, up along his neck to look at his face again. Merlin, there hadn't been a reason to whisper, but it felt quieter, damn quiet, after Moony said that. So he stopped thinking for the moment, the usual way of planning dares and truths and thinking about the exactness of what they were doing, and watched Remus. He had to see it, to know.

His eyebrows came together instantly, curious and wanting to respond, at least in words, to the dare. His lips almost parted before Sirius caught himself. But his legs stayed crossed, as they were, and his toes even stopped moving. His hands rested along his legs, and he just sat there, wondering what Remus was going to do that was going to make it hard to stay still. There were so many different ways, and Remus likely knew every achilles heel he had.

Getting closer wasn't surprising. His heart beat faster, but Sirius neither pulled away or pushed closer. A damn hard feat that was with Remus so close he could smell him,s mell his shirt, smell how little air was between them. Sirius rarely lost a dare, and he held himself there, eyes open watching as Remus got closer and closer. To be honest, Sirius still hadn't expected it, even when they were so close any movement on his part would have pushed their mouths together. His first thought, when he felt the kiss, was that he had done it, that he had broken the dare and just kissed Remus. But his body held as tense as before. It hadn't been him-

His eyes got a little wider, and his arms twitched to come up before Sirius caught himself. But kissing, that didn't count as moving when Moony started it. Well, Sirius didn't care if it did. Remus was free to call him on it. His lips pressed back, making it a kiss between them, not one-sided. It made him want more, to do more, but Sirius wavered around the line, not turning it into more at that time. His head was swimming with previous comments Moony had said.

Sirius was good, he had to give him that. He stayed perfectly still as he got closer, and he didn't even count kissing him back as really moving. Sure, there was something behind it, but if there had been nothing but something like a statue in front of him, it wouldn't have been nearly as good. And the kiss, well, it was damn good.

Remus didn't really think about how his thumb started moving, brushing against Sirius' leg for the moments he continued. It wasn't a terribly long kiss, though, only some seconds so that he could leave a good impression while not giving away too much. Finally he sat back on his heels, sitting low and slightly hunched forward.

"You're good," he said, grinning as his eyes narrowed. Now there was just the waiting period for some real reaction to what he'd done. Or nothing more than continuing the game. Either way, Remus believed he'd upped the level of dares with that move.

His heart was having troubles staying in his chest. His mind was all sorts of confused. Everything was pushed aside for the duration of the kiss, just making it a perfect moment in the moment, not to be tainted by anything else. His attention itched to every place between them, like the air itself was heating up from being pressed between them. And yes, Sirius noticed the caress, noted every little thing Remus did. And it left him breathless and catching up.

There were games between friends, but kissing James wouldn't have felt anything like that. And Sirius had kissed James before. In truth or date. This wasn't like that. The two weren't anything alike, and Sirius was almost staring a bit, at Remus, as he tried a little harder to breath. "You..." Sirius began, motioning toward Remus because sod the game, sod it all, it wasn't one. And if it were one to Remus, then Sirius didn't know him an eighth as well as he thought. "We," Sirius tried again, "Us.."
