hiiiii nini!!!!!! it was quite some time since i asked you something, how are youuuu????
also! I'm curious, do you think sirius would try to make remus more "cool"? you know, i like to think about remus as a loser (very affectionate) like he has this nerdy vibe and he's not cool in typical meaning like he's maybe awkward but he is kinda hot like that (not gonna lie), and i was thinking about how maybe sirius would like paint his nails or something like that 😭 i feel like I'm forming it not exactly like i think about it but i hope you get what i mean 😭😭 do you maybe have some thoughts about it? 🥺
hiii!!! omg hiii sweetheart it’s so good to hear from you again!! i’m doing okay, happy you popped back in 🫶 and YES i know exactly what you mean with hot loser remus
the most important thing is that sirius never tries to change remus’ core. he just loves peeling back the shy layers so remus can see how attractive his nerdy brand of cool actually is
he starts with little things that feel safe, like showing remus how to roll up his sleeves properly to show-off his veiny forearms or leave one more button undone on his shirts. small stuff that makes remus look a bit more confident without losing his soft energy
sirius definitely tries to get remus into sunglasses. remus keeps pushing them up into his hair but yk what sirius actually finds it very sexy
i’m also a firm believer of sirius being the reading glasses fan. he encourages remus to wear them more instead of switching to contacts all the time. tells him they make him look like a hot professor and remus ends up wearing them almost 24/7
when they go out, sirius is always fixing remus’ collar or ruffling his hair so he looks a bit more undone and goes like, “there. now you look like you just got laid”
he also will casually drape remus’ arm around his own shoulders or waist in public so remus stops doing that awkward half-hug thing (😔)
remus lets sirius pierce his ear one drunk night. it gets infected and sirius feels so guilty he brings remus his favorite takeout and does all the chores for a week
painting nails absolutely becomes their ritual!! sirius does it while they’re listening to music on the floor, talking about nothing. remus gets a little bit embarrassed at first but in the end he smiles the whole time and keeps the color on for days
they both get tiny tattoos behind their ears (star for remus, moon for sirius). remus is kinda nervous the whole time (because of the ear piercing accident lol) but sirius makes sure the tattoo artist is a professional and holds remus’ hand and tells him it looks hot as fuck
sirius gets really into remus’ obscure literature knowledge at the beginning of their relationship. he starts asking him to recommend books and then shows up to their next date quoting lines from them. it makes remus feel seen and a little bit proud of his nerdiness
sirius hypes him up constantly. saying things like “you look really good like this, moony” when remus tries the slightly messier hair or the new jacket, or encouraging remus to speak up more in group settings because he knows how smart and funny remus is and wants other people to see it too
when remus feels awkward or out of place, sirius stays close, hand on his lower back, whispering little affirmations like “you’re doing great, baby” instead of trying to “fix” him
sirius loves showing remus off. he’ll drag him to parties and whisper “don’t slouch, darling, you’re the hottest one here” while remus awkwardly sips his drink
deep down sirius doesn’t actually want remus to stop being a “loser”. he loves the nerdy rambles, the way remus trips over his words when nervous, the old man clothes. the “cooling up” is just sirius’ way of hyping him up
remus lets sirius do it because it makes sirius so happy. plus he secretly enjoys the attention and how sirius’ eyes light up when he actually wears the tight fitted shirt sirius put on him
at the end of the day sirius tells him “you don’t need to be cool, baby, you already are. i just like spoiling the world a little”
