[context: yk how i've said that my remus is a history professor? well he is that here, and sirius is studying some sort of engineering program]
★ remus pulls into this small local service station because he needs his car fixed. he's an expert at ancient texts, not whatever this blinking light is and that weird sound his car is making. and there's sirius, dark blue overall around his hips, with grease on his fingers and his hair in a hasty updo. remus slows his steps a little as he sees him that first time. he's 43, and he can see that this guy is not even 30, but fuck... he's stunning. sirius notices him only a second later and immediately gives him his signature grin, and remus tells himself not to be a stupid old fool.
that's the first time they meet, during sirius' part-time job. he's 26 and uncle alphie hasn't died yet and given him his inheritance, so as of now he's trying to make do with the little pay this job is giving him. he's always loved tinkering and figuring things out, and well, this suits him well. he and remus talk for longer than they have to, considering. sirius can't help but be attracted to the older man... the scars just make him hotter honestly. that night he's jerking off to the memory of remus' lopsided little smirk, the amber eyes and his large hands as he checked his old leather watch before leaving.
★ the second time they meet is at the pub. remus is there with lily, who is a professor in climatology. they worked together a few years back on some research regarding the climate and it required knowledge from different areas. lily is asking about his life outside of the university and questioning him about his non existent romantic pursuits. and that’s when he sees him again. this time he's donning a leather jacket that looks a bit worn, there's tons of silver earrings and he can see more of those tattoos since his top is, well, black lace and rather see-through. he looks drop-dead gorgeous. like sex walking.
he's there with a friend, some guy in glasses who looks like he has some desi ancestry. they're laughing and remus quickly averts his gaze before he-- he doesn’t know what. but when he looks back lily is staring at him with one of those quirked eyebrows that tell him he's done something and lily wants in on the tea. remus blushes like a school boy, even the tips of his ears go red with his embarrassment at having been caught ogling this twenty something. he tries to explain where he knows him from, and then lily's making a joke about the fact that maybe she should have set him up on blind dates with younger men who are there to live it up in the bedroom rather than women their own age. remus doesn’t think he can blush any harder after that, and thankfully sirius doesn’t notice him before remus convinces lily that they need to leave.
unbeknownst to remus sirius has kept a drunken eye on him all night, and he misses him as soon as he's gone.
★ the third time is in the corridors of the university. some student has stopped remus after one of his lectures to ask him about the upcoming exam, and sirius is just rounding the corner when he hears "thank you, mr lupin!" lupin. that's...
both sirius and remus stop walking when their eyes meet. time seems to still for a moment. and then sirius puts on his cocky signature black grin and starts talking. remus finds out that he's studying civil engineerering and is in his last year, maybe most important of all is that he's 26... sirius is leaning forward into his space, deliberately angling his body in a sensual way. mary would be proud of him. fuck, a professor... a really fucking hot one. he hasn't been able to stop thinking about him since that pub night.
eventually they part ways, sirius walking backwards and giving him a lazy salute as he tells him that his car's gonna be ready in a day or two. then he disappears off to another lecture and remus is blushing again, his face all hot.
he doesn’t stop thinking about him. he can’t.
★ two days later sirius texts him to come get his car late in the evening, two hours after the service station's closed. remus wonders what this means, and yet he knows... this guy spells trouble and he feels like it wouldn't be good if this relationship became public knowledge, but... he can't resist him.
afterwards remus barely remembers their conversation. it was almost like foreplay. slow words, enunciated just right, innuendos hidden in between the letters. how they had gotten closer and closer, until sirius kissed him, raw and filthy, and something in remus just snapped. he bent sirius over the hood of his own car and fucked him hard and fast, almost like a young man again. when driving home he thinks about the way sirius' back muscles rippled and the way he moaned when his cum splattered all over his newly fixed car.
★ remus tries to forget him after that. he tells himself that it was a one time thing and that it's never gonna happen again. it was stupid. foolish.
only thing is, wherever he goes sirius seems to be there. and even when he isn't his mind keeps replaying that evening at the service station. he thinks about his smile, that cocky grin, his sensual way of moving. he sits with his research and finds it suddenly impossible to focus on the 18th century writing.
and sirius refuses to give up.
★ months later remus caves, and they go on a coffee date. it's a bit awkward. sirius tries to get remus to talk, who is embarrassed and doesn't know if he should be doing this, and his self-confidence is shitty and he doesn't think he has anything to offer. it results in sirius oversharing since he's trying to fill the silence, but it's somewhere there that remus is pulled out of his thoughts and starts to listen. sirius tells him about grimmauld, and about the little brother he hasn't seen in forever. about his new family, and his best friend who is also like a brother to him. remus in turn talks a bit about himself and how it's been to live through some iconic moments. he tells sirius that he hasn't dated in a long time, that he's basically married to his work. sirius asks him about his research then and he can't help but ramble. he is a history nerd after all.
★ they begin to spend time at remus' apartment. remus himself doesn't even know when that happened, when his private sanctuary became a thing to be shared with this man. it's here that they begin to explore each other.
★ remus teaching sirius ways of pleasuring himself that he didn't even know about before, because he hasn't lived long enough and certainly wasn't in his twenties during the great hippie wave of the 70s where everything was about freedom and exploring yourself... remus being the most attentive lover and showing him what it is to make love, not just to fuck...
★ sirius flicking through remus' vinyls, asking if he's been to their concerts. remus telling him about them as he sits naked on his bed with only the sheet pulled over his crotch, lazily smoking a cig.
★ sirius begins to call remus moony since he likes to research long into the night, preferring his little work table by the window overlooking the street.
★ remus lies to lily. says he isn't meeting anyone. he doesn't know how to tell her that he might be in love with a man who's almost twenty years younger than him. god, what is he doing?
★ they hire a car or take the train to the towns nearby. remus doesn't want to be seen with sirius in the university city, and it hurts as fuck for him but sirius takes it all with stoic bravado. if this is the only way he can have him then he'll shut up about it and take what he can get. these towns become dream landscapes where they can pretend everything's good and that there is no secrecy.
★ remus tells him over and over that sirius deserves more, someone that can keep up with him, someone that isn't beginning to get his gray hairs. sirius always answers that the people his own age only focuses on his sex appeal and never sees... well, him. they never see sirius. only remus does. only remus loves him.
★ sirius whispering i love you into the darkness, tracing remus' scars as he sleeps. he's never been in love before but he knows that this is it.
★ eventually they're accidentally spotted by lily and she confronts remus about it. she doesn't think the age gap is acceptable, is actually disappointed in him for using a young man like this, and he tries to push sirius away again. because it's everything he's been telling himself. he doesn't know that lily never understood the nature of their relationship and told him all that because of her own prejudices.
him and sirius, they have a big fight where they yell so much that the neighbors are annoyed with remus after. sirius screams with tears in his eyes that he's in love with him and that he knows that remus wants him as well, if only he could get over his stupid fears... he slams the door on the way out.
★ remus tells lily that it's over and he tries to move on with his life. but he's so depressed that lily eventually realizes that this was actually love and that she fucked up. she apologizes to him but he refuses to listen. eventually she seeks sirius out and tells him that she's sorry and that they should try again, and that she's convinced if only he pushes just one more time remus will give in. sirius tells her to go fuck herself, basically, but well... he's been just as depressed and in the end he does exactly what she told him to. he seeks remus out again.
remus listens to his tirade and when he doesn't say anything sirius says "well, aren't you gonna say anything?" and remus just kisses him. tells him that he's never gonna let him go again, and that the whole world can know about them, he doesn't care. for the first time he says that he loves him, that he's in love with him.
★ mhmm reunion sex... remus being called sir and sirius getting called boy... remus overstimulating him until he can't remember his own name anymore, just remus'. crying and begging for mercy but remus uses his hands and just keeps going, whispering praises, gently wringing another one out of him...
