RL with Remus

[why_so_me]

They day after the virus, Sirius was in the Gryffindor dormitory, curtains to his bed drawn. Inside, he was supposedly working on an essay that was due for Prof. Flitwick about Summoning Magic, and he did indeed have his books open and a quill scrawling across parchment. However, his handwriting had devolved into illegible blots of ink and long scratches that nearly tore through the page. Sirius barely seemed to notice.

He hadn't talked to Remus or James or Peter or really anyone since waking up that morning. It was plain he was in a terrible mood, but he refused to let anyone in on what had happened. Even alone in his room, he glared at the paper.

Remus laughed as well, pleased to have made his friend laugh, really laugh, after the way the day had started out for him. He was happy to be able to tell the difference in Sirius's mood, and happy to know that it was him making the choice to talk to him that made the difference. A bit egotistical, but it definitely made him feel good about himself. "Yes, well. Start sharing them and I might just have to spellotape your mouth shut, I'm warning you now, Pads..."

Sirius wore a very wide, cheesy grin then, folding his fingers behind his head. "Why, whatever could you mean, Remus?" Sirius said. "Like saying that if I stayed in here too long working on essays, you'd have to come in here and turn me on? Things like that? How about that I'd probably enjoy being turned on, if it meant no more essays?"

Remus groaned and grabbed Sirius's pillow, shoving it in the direction of the other boy's face, hoping that Sirius wouldn't see the blush that was spreading across his face through the pillow. "Sirius, ugh!" Remus said, laughing, his face feeling really very hot, "I told you not to go there!"

Sirius howled with laughter even as he got a nice faceful of pillow. "What, what's wrong Moony?" he cackled. "You don't like the idea of turning me on every time I'm done with homework? I'm offended, really, you're just crushing me."

Remus threw up his hands in defeat, groaning at Sirius. "Merlin, why do I even bother with you?"

"Because I brighten your day with my warm smile and cunning wit," Sirius said, grinning. "Also, you like turning me on."

Remus groaned, blushing pretty hard now, and moved away, inching towards the side of the bed. "God, alright, alright, I've got to leave now, if you're going to keep going on about me t-turning you on..."

"Nooooo, don't leave me, Moony!" Sirius wailed, although the grin remained. "Without you I will sink into a fit of despair and existential woe. I will then die my hair purple, get all sorts of body parts pierced, and start blasting punk rock at one in the morning the night before exams."

Remus shook his head at Sirius, though he stopped running away from him in that moment. "You'd better not if you don't want a seriously angry, sleep-deprived werewolf coming after you in the night," he said, joking, but kind of meaning it at the same time.

"I won't, so long as I am kept from soul-sucking angst and despair," Sirius said, unable to even pretend that he was being serious. "But it might be a difficult task, since I'm so serious and all."

Remus sighed. "Well, as long as you quit it with the 'turning you on' jokes, I'll be able to forgive you for the fact that, however your name might be pronounced, serious you definitely are not, Padfoot. Look up 'not serious at all' in the dictionary, and I guarantee there will be a description of a boy quite similar to yourself there."

"I would absolutely do that, Moony, if 'not serious at all' were actually a word," Sirius chirped. "Though I have to admit, the naming thing couldn't have gone more backwards if my parents had even tried."
