Remus nodded eagerly, curious to find out he was getting for Christmas. Sirius had been weirdly secretive this year, like hurriedly stopping what he was saying to James whenever Remus was around, to locking the spare room with dozens of spells to keep Remus out.

‘I’m going to have to blindfold you, okay?’ Sirius asked, holding up a scarf.

‘Yeah, sure,’ Remus agreed, his curiosity growing as he let Sirius tie the scarf over his eyes securely. Once he was blindfolded, he felt Sirius’ warm lips brushing against his own in a soft kiss, before he was lead into what he assumed was the spare room, judging from the unlocking spells Sirius was whispering under his breath.

He could hear Sirius moving around slightly, before saying, ‘You can open your eyes now, Re.’

Remus untied the scarf and pulled it off, only to gasp in surprise. The room had been decorated beautifully. Tinsel was strung up on the walls, along with Christmas lights that twinkled brightly at him. Snow that was charmed to fall from the ceiling drifted down onto the large Christmas tree that stood in the middle of the room. But the thing that surprised Remus the most was Sirius.

Because Sirius was on one knee, with a ring in his hand.

Remus’ hand flew to his mouth as he gaped wordlessly at his boyfriend, who smiled up at him with so much love in his eyes. ‘Sirius?’ he choked out.

‘Remus,’ he began. ‘We’ve been best friends for eight years, and dating for three. Ever since I met you on the train in first year, we’ve always been at each other’s sides. You are so kind and wonderful and smart, and I never want to be apart from you so. There’s nobody I love more than you, and there never will be. I want to be with you for the rest of my life.’

Tears of happiness began to roll down Remus’ cheeks as he fought not to completely break down. ‘Oh, Sirius,’ he whispered, his throat blocking up with tears.

He watched as Sirius began to cry as well, his words getting stuck in his throat. He swallowed, before taking a deep breath. ‘Remus,’ he said. ‘Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?’

‘Yes,’ Remus whispered, nodding furiously, not even having to think about it. Sirius was the love of his life, and he would love him forever, no matter what. ‘Yes, yes, of course, Sirius. I love you so much.’

He’d seen Sirius’ smile a million times, but Remus swore he’d never seen a smile as beautiful as the one Sirius gave him then.

Sirius stood and slipped the ring onto his finger, before flinging his arms around Remus and kissing him eagerly. Remus responded in kind, the world melting away to the two of them as Remus wrapped his arms around Sirius’ waist and tugged him closer.

After their kiss, Remus moved back to stare into Sirius’ beautiful, stormy grey eyes, before pulling him into a hug and kissing the side of Sirius’ head. ‘I love you,’ he whispered into Sirius’ hair. ‘I love you. I love you.’

‘I love you too, Moony,’ Sirius whispered back. ‘I love you too.’

Remus stepped out of the hug and cupped Sirius’ face in his hands, smiling like an idiot at his now-fiancé. ‘I can’t believe we’re getting married,’ he whispered breathlessly.

‘Me neither,’ Sirius whispered back. He took Remus’ hand and held it up, as if to check that he really was wearing the ring. Sirius’ smile grew as he gazed down at the diamond on Remus’ finger, before lifting up his hand to his mouth and kissing it gently.

Remus smiled adoringly at his fiancé, before leaning forward and kissing him again. ‘I love you more than anything, Sirius Black,’ he whispered against his lips.

‘It’ll be Sirius Lupin soon,’ Sirius whispered, leaning his forehead against Remus’. ‘And I love you too, Remus Lupin. More than you could ever imagine.’ 

i wrote textually active for fun - i wanted to try out a text fic because i had been reading a lot of those in another fandom and i wanted to make it culturally diverse. but i don’t think i executed the diversity very well. it comes off very fake woke and cringey - and even problematic (even though most of what i wrote was my own culture lol). i’m just going to tone it down and make it flow better. the changes might not even be noticeable tbh!

the big one is formatting. if, and only if, i have a LOT of time and energy on my hands, i will format it to BLOW YOUR MINDS because my html skills have improved exponentially lol. i hate the current formatting but formatting is also the last thing on my list of priorities. 

so yup. think that’s about it.

James: 

Sirius:

Peter:

Sirius dragged himself up to the dorms, sighing unhappily. He knew that he couldn’t do anything except wait for Remus to get back from the hospital wing, but that didn’t mean Sirius couldn’t be upset about it.

He entered the dorm as quietly as he could, trying not to wake up James and Peter. Even though classes had just ended, the two of them were fast asleep, as they were exhausted from running through the forest all night. Sirius was absolutely exhausted too, but he knew that he’d never be able to get to sleep while he was worrying about Remus.

He flopped onto his bed, sighing again. The sheets were tangled and uncomfortable, but he didn’t really care. The only thing he could think about was his Moony, who only had bloodied bandages and pain-relieving potions for company.

Sirius crawled under the sheets, not even bothering to make his bed or take off his uniform. His stomach tightened as he twisted beneath the sheets, unused to the bed being so cold and empty without Remus.

He kicked angrily at the sheets, trying to untangle them, when something fell out of the bed with a muffled thud. Sirius closed his eyes, wanting to ignore whatever fell on the ground, but a small voice in his head that sounded suspiciously like Remus’ scolded him for leaving his stuff on the floor. Groaning at the immense effort it took Sirius to get himself up again, he leaned over the bed and looked down. A blue jumper lay on the floor, which he immediately recognised as Remus’. The jumper was huge, soft-looking, and a little worn out, like all of Remus' jumpers.

Sirius picked up the jumper, hugging it close to his body. The jumper was incredibly soft, and faintly smelt of Remus. Sirius closed his eyes as he breathed in deeply, letting the comforting smell of Remus wash over him. Sirius wished that it was Remus he was hugging, not just his jumper, but he was grateful to have something of Remus’ here with him.

After a few moments of breathing into the jumper and letting Remus' scent calm him down, Sirius tugged it over his head, letting the soft material fall loosely down his body. The jumper was impossibly soft and cozy, just like Remus himself. It felt like his Moony was right there, his arms wrapped around Sirius in a gentle hug.

Sirius exhaled shakily, letting the calming scent of Remus’ jumper wash over him. His eyes slipped shut as the sick feeling in his stomach faded away. Remus would be okay. He’d be back tonight, and Sirius would be able to kiss Remus’ pain away. Tonight, he’ll lay his head on Remus’ chest and listen to his steady heartbeat, and he’ll know that Remus is safe. Tonight, Sirius will wrap his arms around Remus and pull him close, and he’ll know that everything would be okay, because they’re together.

~~~~~

Remus winced as he slowly walked up the stairs to the dorms, gripping the handrail tightly. His entire body ached, even though he’d spent the whole day in the hospital wing to recover from the full moon.

He limped into the dorm as quietly as he could manage, as he knew that his friends would still be sleeping off the full moon. Remus wanted nothing more than to go to sleep as well, but he knew he couldn’t afford to keep taking time off school just because of the full moon. Nobody was going to hire a werewolf with bad grades.

Remus grabbed his textbooks and stumbled over to his bed, only to find someone else already there. Under a heap of tangled bedsheets lay Sirius, who was fast asleep. Remus smiled to himself at how peaceful he looked when he was sleeping, before gently sitting down on the bed next to him. He watched as Sirius’ eyelids fluttered softly, before opening his eyes and looking up at him.

‘Moons?’ Sirius mumbled softly, his voice croaky from sleep.

‘Sorry,’ he whispered back. ‘I didn’t mean to wake you. I’m just going to study, okay?’

‘Nooo,’ Sirius whined quietly, tugging at his sleeve. ‘I want cuddles. And you need sleep, you need to rest after the full moon.'

Remus opened his mouth to argue, but he made the grave mistake of glancing down at Sirius, who was using his puppy eyes. After a few moments, he sighed in defeat.

‘Damn it, Pads,’ he grumbled, putting his textbooks on the bedside table, and climbing under the sheets with Sirius. ‘You know I can’t resist the puppy eyes. Cheater.’

Sirius smiled sleepily as he shuffled closer to him, wrapping an arm around Remus’ waist. ‘That’s not my problem,’ he said, nuzzling gently into Remus’ neck.

‘Piss off,’ Remus said as he wrapped his arms around Sirius, pulling him even closer. Something about what Sirius was wearing caught his eye, and it took him a few moments to realise that he was wearing one of Remus’ own jumpers. Remus felt his heart melt a little as he stared at his boyfriend lovingly, lifting up his hand to gently stroke Sirius’ hair. ‘Are you wearing my jumper?’

He felt Sirius freeze. ‘No,’ he mumbled softly, his voice muffled into Remus’ neck. Even though he couldn’t see his face, Remus could tell that he was blushing.

‘Idiot,’ Remus teased gently, before pressing a little kiss to the top of his head. ‘You look adorable. Keep it.’

‘I like it,’ Sirius said, cuddling even closer to him. ‘It’s all warm and cozy and soft, and… and, it smells like you.'

Remus couldn’t help but smile as he hugged Sirius even tighter. Merlin, his boyfriend was the cutest. ‘I love you, Sirius,’ he whispered into Sirius’ hair, kissing his forehead gently. ‘I love you so much, baby.’

‘I love you too, Moons. I’m glad you’re okay from the full moon.'

‘I’m always okay after the full moon. I’ve got you with me.’

He heard Srius sigh happily as he snuggled even closer to him. Remus closed his eyes, knowing that his boyfriend would always be there to help him through the full moon. As long as they were together, everything would be okay.

He grinned happily as he looked over at Remus. Like always, he was wearing a large, knitted jumper, with a beanie tucked over his honey-brown curls. His face was partially covered by the Gryffindor scarf he was wearing, but Sirius could see that his cheeks were flushed pink from the cold in the most adorable way possible.

An icy gust of wind interrupted Sirius’ thoughts, making him scowl as he looked down at his bare hands, painfully aware of how cold and numb they felt. ‘Stupid James,’ he grumbled to himself. During last week’s prank experiment, James had accidentally set Sirius’ mittens on fire, leaving Sirius with nothing to keep his hands warm in the cold weather.

He blew onto his hands and rubbed them together, desperately trying to warm up his hands. Remus, after noticing his failed attempts at warming up his hands, took off his own mittens. ‘Here, take mine,’ he offered, holding out his mittens to Sirius.

Sirius smiled gratefully at his boyfriend, but shook his head. ‘It’s fine, Moons. Thanks, though.’ 

‘At least take one mitten,’ he insisted. He handed Sirius one of his mittens, before putting the other one back on. ‘I can keep your other hand warm, if you like,’ Remus added with a little smile, before reaching out to take Sirius’ hand in his. Sirius felt himself blushing as their fingers tangled together, and he ducked his head shyly, trying to hide his rosy cheeks from Remus.

‘Are you blushing?’ Remus asked teasingly, bumping their shoulders together. ‘Sirius Black, number one heartbreaker and rebellious bad boy, blushing?’

‘I, um... no,’ Sirius stammered, blushing even harder. Remus laughed, and his heart stuttered at the beautiful sound.

‘Come here, darling,’ Remus murmured softly, wrapping his arm around his waist and pulling him closer. Sirius’s heart pounded as Remus smiled gently at him, cupping his cheek. His eyes fluttered shut as Remus leaned in, capturing his lips in a sweet kiss. Sirius sighed happily as he tilted his head up, deepening the kiss. All he could think about was Remus - Remus’ arm wrapped around his body and holding him close, Remus’ thumb gently stroking along his cheek, and Remus’ warm lips pressing against his own.

As the kiss came to an end, Remus moved back and rested his forehead against Sirius’. He could barely remember how to breathe as he stared at Remus, drinking in every single detail of him, from the faint freckles and scars that dusted over his nose, to his adorable little smile that Sirius couldn’t get enough of.

His heart raced wildly as Remus moved forward, placing his lips right by Sirius’ ear, his warm breath tickling his skin. ‘You’re definitely blushing,’ Remus whispered.

Remus stepped back with a smug grin on his face as he looked at Sirius. Sirius could tell that his entire face had gone red, and he bit his lip shyly, looking away from Remus. He almost never got flustered around anyone else, but whenever he was with Remus, his brain seemed to stop working properly.

He felt Remus kiss his cheek softly, before slipping his hand back into Sirius’. ‘You’re adorable, Pads. Come on, let’s get out of the cold,’ he said, smiling at his blushing boyfriend. Sirius smiled back at him, and they walked off to Hogsmeade together, hand in hand.
