Sirius’ comment made Remus’ attention return onto him, straightening his posture just enough for their foreheads to part and for Sirius’ face to come back into view.
It was impossible not to hear it as an invitation, an answer to a question Remus hadn’t asked, and yet it made Remus’ stomach swoop with an unexpected sense of regret.
Remus had often before found himself in this exact situation, because it had to be quick or because no other option was available. Like in every other way, however, Sirius was different, and it was suddenly so hard to ignore that they had just come back from a shared dinner, and shared a ****ing bed.
Removing his hands from Sirius’ fly, Remus once again gripped at Sirius’ jaw, ducking into another kiss, overcome with an emotion he couldn’t quite place.
“Let’s go home,” he muttered, lips slipping to Sirius’ cheek to prolong it.

Sirius really didn’t want to be parted from Remus for any reason whatsoever, however he did also realise that the student garage wasn’t actually all that private, and that they had a perfectly good room just upstairs. It seemed like a no brainer to go back upstairs and now that Remus was requesting it so nicely, it seemed rude to say no.
“Alright,” he said, grin still marking his features as he slowly loosened his grip on Remus, comforting himself with how much better it would be in their room.
“But you better make it worth it,” he teased, already well aware that Remus would.

Coming home from work uncommonly early, Remus felt a little more than dazed. Only some time after ten pm, he had crossed paths with several people on his way back. It only made his mind feel more cluttered, and his skin uncomfortably tender underneath his clothes.
It wasn’t uncommon for Remus to return home with the prickle of bruises appearing onto his skin, but suddenly expecting Sirius home and awake, Remus just wanted to slink off into a shower and head straight to bed, ready for the day to end.
“Hey,” he muttered as the door gave way, immediately turning to take off his coat.

When the door to their dorm room opened, Sirius instinctively checked his watch, surprised that that much time would have passed him by without him noticing. However, his watch gave him an even more baffling story, which was that it was just a little past ten, and yet Remus was already home.
“Hey,” he said, soft smile on his face as he turned around in his chair to get a look at Remus, having missed him, even if it had only been a couple of hours.
“You’re home early.”

Nymeria · **Posted:** Thu Sep 05, 2024 11:14 am

“Yeah,” Remus agreed, not knowing what else to say. Though they had formed a tentative routine around Remus’ work, straying from it made it all feel awkward, still not sure how to talk with Sirius about it.
Having hung up his coat on the hanger, Remus turned back towards Sirius, feeling the weight of his gaze. There was a beat where Remus actually continued elaborating, but couldn’t find it within him, overwhelmed at the softness of Sirius’ expression.
It made him stall in place, before deciding to come off it, trying to lean into it rather than shying away. Crossing the room with an almost vulnerable intent, Remus placed a hand on Sirius’ cheek to press a kiss onto the other; still not ready to kiss him on the lips, though he felt the instinct surge within him.
“Hi. I’m gonna have a shower,” he said as he straightened his posture, letting his hand fall from Sirius’ face.

The second Remus was within reach, Sirius reached out for him, placing a soft hand on his hip; having picked up on the fact that Remus usually didn’t enjoy being touched too much immediately after having been to work. As much as Sirius probably should be bothered by Remus’ profession, he just couldn’t find it within himself to do so; finding that what Remus did to make money had hopelessly little effect on Sirius’ feelings for him.
When Remus pulled away, Sirius caught a glimpse of his wrist for a moment before the sweater sleeve fell back down, and what he saw made his brows furrow.
“What happened to your wrist, love?”

Nymeria · **Posted:** Sun Sep 08, 2024 8:14 am

The question took Remus aback, startled by the way the attention was so immediately returned onto him. Pulling up his sleeve to bare his wrist, he himself seemed surprised to see that a bruise had bloomed so quickly. He pushed down his cuff again.
“Nothing. Work,” he said, less bothered by the bruising as he was by the images addressing them was bound to conjure.
When he had started being with Sirius, Remus had meant it when he said he wasn’t embarrassed by his work. This was different, though; it felt like a third person being in the room with them, whenever Remus came home with marks left by others.
In the interest of being transparent, he tugged up the other sleeve, where a matching bruise was indeed starting to appear. “Why it’s quick, sometimes.”

While Remus never seemed keen to discuss his work in too many details, Sirius knew enough about the trade to know that it was probably far more serious than what Remus let on. However, Sirius also knew him well enough to knew better than to fuss too much, so it was a very delicate balance.
That didn’t stop Sirius from reaching out for Remus again though, gingerly pulling him closer by his hips and looking up at Remus was eyes that he hoped spoke more of adoration than concern.
“Would you let me join you in your shower?” He asked in a soft voice, wanting to take care of Remus in any way that he could, even if he knew that Remus maybe wouldn’t be receptive to it.
“You look exhausted, but also like you could do with a proper wash of your hair,” he explained, not wanting Remus to think that he had any sordid thoughts; he was honestly just trying to find ways to reconnect with him. “I give a killer scalp massage.”

Nymeria · **Posted:** Sun Sep 08, 2024 3:21 pm

The moment Sirius pulled him closer rather than let him slip away to the bathroom, Remus felt a spike of anxious avoidance rise within him, so tempted to decline the offer. It must have shown in his expression.
But then again, it wasn’t an offer; Sirius was asking him permission, and somehow that slight difference made Remus waver enough for the immediate discomfort to dissipate long enough for him to have a rational thought.
“Alright,” he agreed, some reluctance still in his voice. “Okay.”

iamcrystalqueer · **Posted:** Mon Sep 09, 2024 12:02 am

Remus’ reluctant acceptance made Sirius smile, wanting so desperately to be good to him, but more often and not finding that he actually didn’t know how. This though, this was something that he knew and it meant a lot to him that Remus was willing to accept that little token of affection from him.
“Don’t worry, I am just going to be washing your hair for you, okay?” He promised as he got up from his chair, hands still softly on Remus’ hips. He leant in close to gingerly place a kiss to Remus’ temple, hoping that his adoration for the man in front of him would shine through in a way that Remus would be able to understand.

Remus’ stomach was tied up in all sorts of unexpected knots, balancing between feeling unnerved and relieved by Sirius’ attention. Remus could recognize it as incredibly sweet, but accepting it made him feel odd and wrong-footed, like Sirius was seeing something in Remus, he himself couldn’t articulate or pin-point. Whether or not Sirius had been around for it, Remus had often before come home with similar bruises and barely thought twice about it.
Trying to convey something he didn’t have the words for, Remus wrapped an arm around Sirius’ neck, halfway a caress and an embrace, pulling him close to return the kiss with one pressed to Sirius’ hairline.
“You’re so odd,” he muttered as he loosened his grip around Sirius, trying to deflect from the fact that, in comparison, Remus’ own reaction might be the odd one. “Come on, then.”

Sirius couldn’t help but grin at that, feeling like they were once again returning to themselves and he was thrilled with that. His relationship with Remus was never going to be straight forward, but Sirius was so willing to put in the work, because he appreciated having him in his life so much.
“Alright,” he said, loosening his grip on Remus to instead take his hand and start dragging him toward the bathroom. It was such a small thing, but Sirius was thrilled to know that Remus trusted him this much.
“Let’s get you cleaned up and ready for bed, love.”

Although reluctant to admit it, Remus had emerged from their shower feeling a little more together than he probably would have, had he showered by himself. True to his word, Sirius had indeed washed Remus’ hair, before carrying on and unravelling the tension in his shoulders.
By the time they had finished, Remus could almost be poured into bed, exhausted and pliable. Laying on his back, only moments after crawling into bed, Remus felt the wave of oncoming, comfortable in a way he couldn’t ever remember feeling after a job.

iamcrystalqueer · **Posted:** Tue Sep 10, 2024 2:26 pm

Sirius knew just how much trust this had required from Remus and he was beyond thrilled that he had been able to live up to it. More than anything else, Sirius wanted to be good to Remus, figuring that not a lot of people had taken the time to show him that care, but he deserved it so much.
“Alright?” Sirius asked as he left the bathroom, having spent a little extra time in the bathroom to dry his hair, but was now ready to join Remus in bed.
He flopped down on the bed next to him, carelessly throwing an arm around Remus’ waist and cuddled in close to him.

Nymeria · **Posted:** Tue Sep 10, 2024 3:00 pm

Something filtered across Remus’ expression as the mattress bobbed, the unmistakable feeling of someone else climbing to the bed; it only lasted a minute.
The sudden proximity sent a shiver down Remus’ spine, as though Sirius’ mere presence had removed the soft blanket of sleep, stirring him slightly more awake. Without opening his eyes, he adjusted his position with heavy limbs, Remus instinctively wrapped an arm around Sirius, allowing him to move closer.
“Hmh,” he muttered in agreement, as his hand carded up the nape of Sirius’ neck, and into his freshly washed hair.

iamcrystalqueer · **Posted:** Thu Sep 12, 2024 12:54 pm

Sirius willingly cuddled closer to Remus, feeling joyous that their relationship had been able to bear this as well; that Remus had been willing to accept his help and that this could be their relationship too.
He reached up to place a tender kiss to Remus’ clavicle, just wanting to show him how much he was adored, even if he wasn’t quite sure what the right words were for that.
“I’m glad.”

Nymeria · **Posted:** Thu Sep 12, 2024 2:58 pm

The kiss to his clavicle further pulled Remus back towards consciousness, a familiar feeling even on the brink of sleep. Compelled to return the caress, Remus shifted as though in a dreamlike state.
Eyes still closed, he pushed himself up onto one elbow in order to tip Sirius back, shifting the balance between them. Though Remus’ movements were lazy with sleep, they didn’t lack intent. Reaching for the crook of Sirius’ neck, Remus closed the distance between them with a kiss, heavy with an unmistakable sense of appreciation, the only way he knew to convey gratitude.

iamcrystalqueer · **Posted:** Fri Sep 13, 2024 2:21 pm

It took very little prompting for Sirius to lay down on his back, so used to being like this with Remus that it felt like second nature to him. They had spent many days and nights tangled up in each other like this, but to Sirius this one felt distinctly different.
He returned the kiss softly and sweetly, arms still loosely wrapped around Remus’ waist with no heat whatsoever in his movements.

Nymeria · **Posted:** Fri Sep 13, 2024 2:37 pm

Sirius continued to be sweet and pliable beneath Remus’ touch, making it all feel so easy to fall into familiar habits. Letting his lips wander, Remus continued to press adoring kisses across Sirius’ jaw, his throat, his skin and hair smelling so recognizable of their shared soaps and shampoos that it made Remus’ heart ache.
All to aware of how nice it felt to be freshly showered for bed and exhausted at the prospect of having to shower again, Remus instead continued his trail of kisses down Sirius’ chest, shifting to move a little further down the bed.

iamcrystalqueer · **Posted:** Fri Sep 13, 2024 3:48 pm

It took Remus moving downwards for Sirius to catch on to what he was doing. It wasn’t that Sirius didn’t want to have sex with Remus, in fact, he had a hard time imagining a scenario in which he would not want him, but he felt that this wasn’t right.
“Hey, love,” he said in a soft voice, moving his hands to Remus’ face instead, gently pulling him away to be able to look at him, gently running his thumb along Remus’ cheekbone as he smiled softly at him.
“We don’t have to do that,” he said, feeling certain that Remus probably wanted nothing more than to sleep.
