Favorite
Sirius: (slouched on the couch, a mischievous grin on his face) Remus, seriously, when are you going to admit that I'm your favorite?
Remus: (without looking up from his book) My favorite for what? Causing trouble, setting the common room on fire, or getting detention from McGonagall?
Sirius: (pretending to be offended) Ouch, Moony, you wound me! But admit it, you always have more fun when I'm around.
Remus: (calmly) Mmm... Maybe I just enjoy the silence when you're not.
Sirius: (dramatically) Silence? Silence is for old people! You really want to live such a... boring life?
Remus: (putting his book down) Sirius, my life is already exciting. Between you, James, and Peter, I get plenty of adventure. Just yesterday, you turned my quill into a snake. I'm still recovering.
Sirius: (laughing) Ah, yes, that snake was adorable, wasn't it? I was even thinking of naming it! How about "Slithy"?
Remus: (rolling his eyes) Slithy? Really, Sirius?
Sirius: (enthusiastically) What? It had cool vibes. Besides, Slithy didn't hurt anyone. Well, maybe Peter, but that's a minor detail.
Remus: (amused) Peter almost had a heart attack.
Sirius: (grinning) Technicality. He needed a bit of exercise, it woke him up!
Remus: (sighing) One day, I'm really going to send you to the hospital wing with a spell you won't see coming. Just for some peace and quiet.
Sirius: (scooting closer to Remus with a mock-serious face) Ah, you'd never do that. You love me too much. That's why you put up with all my pranks.
Remus: (smiling softly) Maybe I put up with them because I don't have a choice. You're like a hyperactive puppy no one can train.
Sirius: (laughing out loud) A hyperactive puppy? I love it! I'm totally getting a shirt made that says, "Sirius Black: Hyperactive and Irresistible."
Remus: (shaking his head, chuckling) I really hope you're joking.
Sirius: (grinning at Remus) You know, Moony, if I do it, you'll have to admit I'm irresistible.
Remus: (calmly looking at him) Sirius, if you do that, I'll carry a sign saying, "I've never seen this guy in my life."
Sirius: (collapsing with laughter) Oh, Moony! You wouldn't. Who's going to bring you chocolates after your full moons?
Remus: (with a sly smile) Hmm... maybe Lily? She's a lot quieter than you. And she doesn't turn my things into living creatures.
Sirius: (pretending to be shocked) Betrayal! Lily? She's nice, but come on, you know she's not as fun as me.
Remus: (pretending to think) True, she doesn't blow up the Potions classroom...
Sirius: (proudly) Exactly! I bring action to your life, Moony.
Remus: (sighing) Sirius, I'm not sure blowing things up is the kind of action I'm looking for.
Sirius: (nudging him playfully) Don't worry, Moony, that's what I'm here for. With me around, your life will never be boring!
Remus: (smiling softly) Yeah, I'm starting to realize that.
Sirius: (winking) Admit it, you wouldn't want me to change.
Remus: (looking at him for a long moment before setting down his book) No, Sirius, I wouldn't want you to change. Not even a little.
Remus then gently leans in and presses a tender kiss to Sirius's lips, letting a comfortable silence settle between them.
Sirius: (beaming) See, Moony? I knew I was your favorite.
