{read Platinum here!}

☾ He’s not able to read and listen to people talking to him so she’ll say things like “the house is burning down!” while he’s reading and he’ll just sit there.

☾ Remus would take her to the seaside when he needs to discipline her. When she grew up, it was a place for her to open up to him.

☾Remus used to put on records (specifically Harry Belafonte) and have her stand on his feet and dance. Now that she’s older, she puts her own records on (and blows him out of the water in terms of dancing).

☾He constantly wants her to try new flavors because she’s really picky, so he’ll use different spreads/jams and force her to eat at least one bite of each piece.

☾Remus read classics/philosophy books to her when she was little, instead of children’s books, so he was reading something he actually enjoyed.

☾When she used to go to regular school, she would only eat the snacks he packed so he leaved multiple notes throughout her lunch bag to remind her to eat her sandwich.

☾He bought himself that mug. (and makes sure the words are always facing towards her when he uses it).

— in March, Sirius gets a lot of energy. He drags Remus for a walk, even when it's slushy and windy outside. Remus is coming because Sirius is glowing.

— Sirius jumps in puddles like a child. Once I soaked my jeans so that I had to dry them with a hair dryer. Remus was swearing. Sirius was smiling.

— Sirius shows Remus the first buds on the trees with a face like he's found a treasure. Remus is not looking at the kidneys.

— in March, they start walking more often in the evenings. The city smells of dampness and hope. They walk slowly, shoulder to shoulder, and sometimes Sirius hums.

— on the eighth of March, Sirius buys tulips. Just because they're orange. Remus puts them in a jar — there's no vase anyway.

— The spring wind pisses Remus off. But when Sirius stands in the wind and laughs, his head thrown back, the wind doesn't matter.

— at the end of March, they suddenly realize that they have been together for a long time. No "marking" — they just sit in the kitchen, look out the window and are silent. That's enough.
