Birthdays were kind of a tricky subject for Remus. He'd never really liked being the center of attention in any scenario but he did like spending time with the people he cared about and you know, perfect excuse to eat a lot of chocolate cake. It was hard to believe this would actually be his third birthday spent in this town. The first, well, he'd not really told anyone but when he'd arrived in Starklandia, it'd been his birthday back home. And honestly, arriving in town was probably the best gift he could've received, as selfish as that sounded. Back where he came from, he would've been left alone on his birthday after having survived a war his best friends perished in and the love of his life sentenced to prison. It wasn't a happy birthday situation to say the least. So he hadn't really counted that birthday, especially since his birthday fell on the Starklandia calendar so soon after that. Now a year had passed since then and he was still there, still thriving, still living happily side by side with Sirius.

He hadn't made a fuss about it. Truly, he just was happy to go about his day as if it was any other. Especially since the full moon had been the night before. Remus had taken some of the remaining wolfsbane potion he'd been rationing ever since being gifted with it several months ago. Some months he took it, others he did not. But he thought since it was the night before his birthday, he'd prefer not to wind up beating himself up or Padfoot overnight. What that meant was, the wolf and the dog got to play all night in the forest, chasing each other and play-rough housing, and warm cuddles when they grew tired.

But as they were up all night, that meant they slept in late on Remus' actual birthday. Remus was still tired when he actually opened his eyes, no idea what time it was. They'd made their way back from the forest after first light, and promptly fell asleep together. At least they weren't banged up this time. That potion, although it tasted absolutely horrible, really worked. Rather than move, Remus stayed right where he was with his head tucked under Sirius' chin and his arm draped over his stomach. Happy Birthday, indeed. He'd get up to make chocolate chip pancakes eventually.

Last year they hadn't really celebrated Remus' birthday -- probably because they'd been circling around each other anxiously at the beginning of everything. There'd been a lot of crying and all that, what with their terrible future and how Remus was from that. After that -- well, it'd been done and over by the time the tears had stopped and the flirting had begun.

But this year was a new year, and Sirius thought they'd had a pretty spectacular date full of romps and cuddling the night before. So now they could have a lazy birthday for Remus. Or, well, whatever kind of birthday he wanted. Obviously. Sirius was going to dedicate his day to making sure Moony got whatever Moony wanted. Nope, nothing selfish on Sirius' part at all. Just Remus pandering.

"You're old now," he said cheerfully, cuddling up more, pressing his chin a little more firmly against the top of Remus' head. He could do with a longer nap, maybe, but that didn't stop Sirius from being energetic anyway. But Remus was old. Or, at least, older than Sirius, which was sort of still weird to think about now and again, when they'd once only been a few months apart in age.
