Remus stalled at the attention, momentarily looking up at Sirius with a young vulnerability, a glimpse of being caught doing something he shouldn’t. It soon gave way to something fragile, overwhelmed at the tenderness in Sirius’ words and the unexpected weight of his relief, exhaustion once again sweeping through him.
Not knowing how to put any of it, Remus gently pried Sirius’ hand away from his face. Instead he turned it to place a kiss to his open palm, and another to his wrist, simultaneously wanting to keep kissing his adoration onto Sirius’ skin, but also wanting to convey that he understood.

Remus really was one of the most stunning people that Sirius had ever seen in his life. The way he seemed to melt into someone younger, someone more innocent, almost made Sirius want to weep, unable to put into words just how much he adored the man in front of him.
Sirius’ actions really were nothing at all, a small consideration for the man on top of him, the man he had to admit that he was coming to love, yet Remus seemed to treat it like something extraordinary, which made Sirius weak.
“Let’s get some sleep, love,” Sirius stated, unsure how much longer he would be able to be around Remus like this, without accidentally admitting to something that he probably shouldn’t.

As exhaustion once again got a hold of his body, Remus could shed a tear with a relief he struggled to place. Being with Sirius would never feel like a burden to him, not even after a job, wanting him in a way he had probably never wanted anyone before. What struck him as hard to believe was how Sirius seemed to want him, too, even when he had so little left to offer.
Feeling like his body weighed a thousand pounds, Remus shifted back up again, laying on his side next to Sirius. He let the hand he had loosely wrapped around Sirius’ wrist trail up the length of Sirius’ arm, wrapping it around his neck and pulling him close and punctuating the interaction with a kiss to Sirius’ forehead, trying not to think about the emotion filling his heart.

When Sirius woke up, he was unable to deny the thrill that ran through him when he realised that he and Remus were still lying intertwined together.
The night before had been different for them both, but Sirius was happy that he got to see a more tender side of Remus; that he got to show him the care that had been about to explode out from inside of him.
Unable to stop himself, Sirius looked down at Remus, who was sprawled across his chest, and gingerly got a better hold of him. The feelings he had for Remus had become impossible to ignore, knowing that he had fallen in love with the man in his arms, and finding that he didn’t mind it.
He might never be able to say it out loud to him, but as he gently started running his fingers through Remus’ hair, he found that it didn’t matter, as long as he got to have moments like this.

Remus was pulled awake by the gentle shift of the embrace and the feeling of Sirius’ hands in his hair. It sent a shiver down Remus’ spine, muscles working before he, too, adjusted his grip around Sirius that had grown loose throughout the night.
Though it hadn’t felt like a big deal last night, Remus could this morning definitely appreciate having gone straight to bed, the exhaustion still deep in his bones but in an entirely manageable way, comfortable and satiated.
Turning his face into Sirius’ chest, Remus let out a content little sound, halfway between a sigh and a choked yawn.

The soft little sound that left Remus made Sirius smile, happy to already be lying down, because otherwise the sight might have made his knees go weak. It was rare that he woke up before Remus and got to see him in this sleepy and vulnerable state, and it did nothing to lessen that tidal wave of emotion that Sirius had decided that he wasn’t going to stop anyway.
“Good morning, love,” he said in a soft voice as he pressed a kiss to the top of Remus’ head, hand still caressing the soft strands of Remus’ hair, wanting to be able to keep like this for as long as possible.

Nymeria · **Posted:** Tue Sep 17, 2024 11:57 am

Remus hummed another sound, more present but not any more coherent, still drowsy with sleep. He further pushed his face into Sirius’ chest, mindlessly rubbing at an itch off the bridge of his nose, before placing a leisurely kiss to the same spot. “Morning.”
For how right it had been last night, Remus woke up to a growing sense of something unresolved, an appreciation cut short. Sirius had been right in seeing Remus’ exhaustion, but at no point had Remus not wanted him, and everything that muddled out into sleep felt like it once again bubbled up to the surface.
Tipping his head, Remus brushed his forehead against Sirius’ sternum, placing another kiss a few inches down from the first.

iamcrystalqueer · **Posted:** Wed Sep 18, 2024 10:03 am

It was impossible for Sirius not to smile at Remus, fingers still softly carding through his hair as Remus’ lips on his bare skin caused his breath to catch slightly.
While Sirius knew that he had made the right choice in making Remus go to sleep the night before, he couldn’t deny the excitement that started causing through his veins in that moment; knowing that there would never be a second of his life in which he would not want Remus.

Nymeria · **Posted:** Wed Sep 18, 2024 2:06 pm

Huffing out a soft little grin, Remus peppered another few kisses to Sirius’ chest, open-mouthed and juvenile. The world had finally stopped feeling fuzzy at the edges, and Sirius’ skin grew warmer and more tangible after hours of being just a vague semblance of a pillow. It felt a little too good to be true, that steady presence throughout the night, the familiar weight of Sirius’ hands in his hair.
Shifting his weight to his knees, Remus trailed upwards; a playful kiss to Sirius’ throat, followed by a kiss to the crook of his neck.
“Are you awake?,” he asked, kissing it into Sirius’ jaw, a smile in his voice.

iamcrystalqueer · **Posted:** Wed Sep 18, 2024 2:33 pm

There really was no denying the love that bloomed in Sirius’ chest when Remus looked like this, all easy going and giddy. He really was the most beautiful man that Sirius had ever seen and he felt so lucky to be able to have him like this.
“Am now,” he said as his hands gained more purpose, the one formerly on Remus’ waist moving to his jaw, such that he could gently pull away his face.
He allowed himself a moment to just take Remus in, getting used to living with the thought of loving Remus and finding that he took to it easily. In fact, he found that he had probably never been happier when he leant in to kiss him properly on the lips.

Nymeria · **Posted:** Wed Sep 18, 2024 2:56 pm

Remus allowed Sirius to pull him back, pliable in his hands. The pause Sirius held, however, was a surprise, met with a tender little exchange when Remus had expected a kiss. Sirius was looking at him with what must have been adoration, surely a nothing-gesture, and yet it forced Remus to face it; he felt it catch in his chest, a skipped beat of his heart.
His eyes roamed across Sirius’ features, constantly favouring his lips, before Sirius mercifully crossed the distance with a kiss. It washed over him all at once, the feel of Sirius’ lips against his and the realisation that Remus really had fallen in love with him, foolish as it were.
He returned the kiss a little startled, overwhelmed.
“Good,” he muttered after a moment, grateful for the distraction, the change of subject Sirius probably didn’t realise it was.
Remus once again let his lips wander, a boyish scrape of teeth against Sirius’ jaw, desperate for the unfamiliarity of love to tip into something more familiar to them, but fearing the feeling wouldn’t budge. “Can we, now?”

iamcrystalqueer · **Posted:** Fri Sep 20, 2024 12:28 pm

Sirius couldn’t help but grin at that, feeling so endlessly appreciated by Remus, just from that utterly simple question. It really was as simple as knowing that Remus wanted to make sure that Sirius was into whatever he wanted, probably not knowing that Sirius would always be into whatever Remus wanted of him, and the question simply made it better for him.
“Yeah,” he said, letting the hand on Remus’ jaw to slide down along his spine, wanting to feel as much of Remus as possible.
“Please,” he added, wanting to express to Remus that he had also wanted him last night, but he felt convinced that they both knew that waiting had been better.

Nymeria · **Posted:** Sat Sep 21, 2024 6:09 am

Sirius’ reply, his hands, sent a twin shiver down Remus’ spine, so utterly lost to everything that was Sirius. Remus had already known as much, but the weight of his affection had at some point throughout the night grown into something different, and if he lingered too much on it he feared he might weep.
Shifting his weight, Remus willingly moved to straddle Sirius’ hips. It allowed his hands to find Sirius’ jaw, leaning in to kiss him on the lips, desperate to drown everything that suddenly felt so large into something so tangible as the feeling of Sirius beneath him.

While Sirius never questioned why Mulligan might want him to be present at any given lecture, he would have to admit that he really didn’t know what he was doing at this one. He was enjoying himself well enough, sitting next to Remus and making comments whenever they found something exceedingly tedious.
Sirius did most of his studying together with Remus by now anyway, finding that them working together really helped with his motivation in more ways than one.
As Arlo finished up his lesson, Sirius started packing his bag, his notebook woefully empty except for the date, but was stopped in his tracks when Arlo turned his attention towards himself and Remus.
“Mr. Black and Mr. Lupin, if you both could stay behind.”

Nymeria · **Posted:** Tue Sep 24, 2024 2:52 pm

Remus had already risen to a stand by the time Mulligan called on them, but as it had become commonplace, Remus’ attention turned onto Sirius first, just a brief instance, before looking up at their professor.
Over the course of the last couple of days, Remus had felt burdened by his affections for the other, feeling it increasingly distracting, making him in turn feel increasingly more guilt ridden. For a brief moment, Remus felt worried it had been so apparent through class that Mulligan wanted to address it, but squaring his shoulders slightly, Remus shook the idea as quickly as it manifested itself in his mind.
“Sir?” he encouraged when the remaining students had left the room.

iamcrystalqueer · **Posted:** Mon Sep 30, 2024 2:40 pm

Arlo waited until he was positive that every single one of the remaining students had filed out, not wanting to get accused of favouritism towards the two young men in front of him, though he knew that if accused he would be hard pressed to deny it.
“Gentlemen,” he started, knowing that it was a big opportunity he was about to present and wanting to present it with the gravity it deserved.
“A very interesting opportunity has just landed on my table and I wanted you two to be the first to get the offer,” he said, not interested in playing it out longer than he needed to. “The National Science Review wants to know what is going on at our great university, and has asked me to showcase the best that our phd program has to offer, that’s where you come in.”

While Sirius should probably stop being surprised by how many opportunities Arlo seemed to hand him so willingly, he didn’t think that he was ever going to get properly used to it.
This more than anything would be something that could really boost their careers upon leaving uni and Sirius knew that Arlo knew that more than anyone.
“Really?” Was all he could respond, feeling stumped.

Nymeria · **Posted:** Wed Oct 02, 2024 11:17 am

“Gladly,” Remus replied, a little too flabbergasted and eager to properly register the fact that Mulligan had yet to ask anything of them. It wouldn’t change his answer, though, willing to do anything even remotely associated with the Review.
Remus had grown aware of the way his own work had seemed to shift, the subject matter increasingly more influenced by Sirius’ work. Remus had tried not to dwell on it, passing it off as simply an effect of studying together; co-authoring an article, however, made it hard to ignore. He was going to try anyway, attention staying on Mulligan.

iamcrystalqueer · **Posted:** Wed Oct 02, 2024 2:48 pm

Arlo smiled warmly at that, having known that the two young men would be receptive to the idea, but it was still nice to see the enthusiasm, especially from Lupin.
“They are aware that your thesis’ are not yet finished, but I have told them about how the two of you work together, and they are interested to hear your ideas,” he added, not seeing the reason to hide the fact that he had been bragging about the two of them.

While Sirius had been close with Arlo for years, it still took him by surprise that he and Remus were being offered such a huge honour. It was going to be a huge boost to both of their careers.
“We’d be honoured, sir,” Sirius said with a warm smile, feeling that it was really the only thing he could say.

Nymeria · **Posted:** Thu Oct 03, 2024 12:29 pm

Mulligan had most certainly given them some additional information, but the moment Remus shut the door to the classroom behind them, he had forgotten everything. He felt the beat of his heart against his chest, and no longer able to anchor his attention to Mulligan, Remus helplessly turned towards Sirius, the only witness to his life whose opinion he cared about.
When everything between them felt increasingly more fleeting, like this was too good to continue, Remus’ stomach flipped at the thought of them being immortalised together on paper, at least.
“****ing hell,” he said, a giddy smile pulling at his lips, the only coherent, appropriate thought he could share with Sirius. “Did you know?”

iamcrystalqueer · **Posted:** Thu Oct 03, 2024 1:26 pm

No matter how many times Sirius got to see it, there really was no beating seeing Remus be all giddy; especially when it came to his academic achievements.
Not for the first time, Sirius was struck with the thought that he would do anything to keep Remus happy and giddy like that, finding it contagious in a way that threatened to boil over within himself as well.
“I had no clue,” he answered honestly knowing that by now he would have been completely and utterly unable to keep something like that from Remus, exactly because he always wanted the treat of getting to see him happy and excited.
“Christ,” he added, grinning from ear to ear, unsure where to put all of the happiness that was threatening to overflow.
