Remus woke up quite late this Saturday, which was quite a rarity to see as usually he would be the first up and changed, trying (and failing most of the time) to drag Sirius out of their double bed so that he wouldn't waste half the day lazing around and making it harder for himself to fall asleep later on when night time came. But today, Sirius was the one to wake first, thanks to the sun rays shining right in his eyes from the crack in the blinds on their window. He swore quietly and muttered something about blowing the star into a million pieces, but as he turned over, his cheek pressed up against Remus's chest and his eyes shot open. Huh, that's weird. he moved up and reached for his wand to cast a tempus charm: 11am. could be worse. The wand clattered back onto the bedside table and his right hand moved to rub Remmy's exposed stomach, before running up under his sweater and rubbing circles into his side with his thumb. It didn't take long for Moony to wake up, eyes slowly blinking and coughing a bit into his arm, looking around still half asleep. He looked so adorable, and Sirius felt himself smiling like an idiot as he watched him slowly wake up and focus.

"Well, good morning moonshine" The Black said quietly and sat up a bit more to lean on his elbow, moving some hair out of his boyfriends face.
"How are you feeling? it's not everyday you sleep in. Did the beach tire you out that much yesterday?" the corners of his lips teased with a smirk. Remus just shook his head, clearing his throat and swallowing loudly before leaning against Siri's hand on his cheek. The two of them had apparated to Eastbourne for the day, enjoying a walk along the shore, some ice cream and a nice hike along the tops of the cliff edges. Sirius, the natural prankster he was, went up a bit too close to the edge quite a few times, to the point where Remus threatened to put him on a leash the next time they went there. Sirius was about to say that a leash wouldn't stop padfoot, and both of them knew that, but then Remus explained that he was talking a bout a child leash, and that got Sirius to behave at least a little bit, before the werewolf would lose his voice from shouting at him to "Get away from the edge, damnit!".

"I'm fine... maybe a little bit tired, yeah. But it's Saturday, I guess I'm allowed a lie in every now and again" Rem smiled up at him, pulling him down by the collar of his shirt for a soft kiss. Sirius smiled against the other's lips and placed a hand on Remus's cheek, before suddenly pulling away.
"Merlin Remus, you're burning up like crazy. Are you sure you're okay?" but he was waved off with a quick "I'm fine" and Remus moved up off the bed, fixing his sweater before extending a hand to Sirius. He took it and once they were both on their feet, Remus motioned to the bathroom, and Siri nodded, deciding to start on tea and some breakfast for the two of them. He hummed a song he heard on the radio the other day to himself, busying himself with filling the kettle and putting it onto the stove, as well as taking out their favourite mugs and placing a tea bag in each. Three teaspoons of sugar for Sirius, half of one for Remus. As he waited for the water, he could hear the water in the sink running in the bathroom and called out. He knew Rem would hear him, the apartment was quite small.
"What do you wanna have for breakfast?"
"toast is fine, thank you love!" came the reply and Sirius smiled to himself, liftin gup off the counter before he heard the coughing fit Remus was having after his voice strained at the end of his shout back. The Black furrowed his brows and went to the bathroom, knocking on the door and opening it to see Rem leaning over the sink, his face a bit red and looking peaky, now that he was in a brighter light. He leant against the doorframe and crossed his arms.
"Remmy, I don't think you're fine"
His boyfriend's nose was also quite red, and he could tell it was blocked from Remus's thick voice when he spoke.
"I've just got a sore throat from shouting at you so much yesterday" He chuckled but that caused him to start coughing again.

Siri shook his head and stepped towards the other boy, placing both his hands under his jaw and tilting his head to face him so he could examine it.
"Babe, your eyes are watering, your nose is blocked, you feel hot to the touch..."
His thumbs ran over the skin under Remus's jaw, ignoring the whine of protest from the other.
"And your tonsils are swollen. I think you might have caught a cold from yesterday. We should have worn scarves of something" The shorter boy shook his head and placed a hand on his hip, the other lacing its fingers with Remus's. "Come on, back to bed with you. I'll bring you your breakfast to bed, but you'd better be wearing another layer and be under the blankets, you hear me?" He raised a brow at Moony's look of protest, but the werewolf knew he wasn't going to win this. He just nodded and blushed when Sirius pulled him to their bedroom and sat him on the bed, Accioing some jogging bottoms, fluffy socks and a t-shirt to wear under the jumper. He gave them all to Remus with a kiss to the head and ran his fingers through his hair. "I won't be long, I promise. And I'll get you some meds, if we haven't run out yet" One more soft kiss and he ran back to the kitchen where the kettle was whistling. "Sirius I'm fine I prom- and he's gone" Moony chuckled to himself, sniffling again and rubbing at his eyes. He did feel a bit cold, however so it wouldn't hurt to listen, right?

He made them tea, placing the two mugs on a wooden tray, as well as a plate of toast with chocolate spread for Remus and a fruit salad for Sirius. Before he went back, he found some Strepsils and Lempsip, putting them on the tray as well and walked back to the room, hips swaying a bit and putting on a bit of a show of placing the tray in Remus's lap. Thankfully the taller boy had listened to Sirius and was wearing the clothes he was given, a blanket around his shoulders, looking positively adorable with the small pout on his lips. "Cheer up, moonpie. You got me looking after you today" He grinned and got under the covers beside Remus, grabbing the wand from his bedside table and accioing the remote to the small TV they had onto top of the dresser, turning it on and finding something to watch as they cuddled later on. Remus didn't complain and thanked Sirius for the food, taking a swig of his tea and sighing, smiling up at his boyfriend who wrapped an arm around the werewolf's shoulders. "Just eat as much as you can, but please take the meds." He whispered into Rem's hair, earning a nod and he got comfortable as the Lupin leant his head on his shoulder, nibbling on a slice of toast. They stayed like that for a few minutes, the quiet murmur of voice from the TV being broken by Remus's sniffles or dry coughs into his arm, and with each one Sirius rubbed his back, kissing his head. Soon Remus had finished his tea and half of the food, so Siri moved the tray away and leant back more, straightening his legs out under the covers. Rem immediately cuddled up to him, head on his chest and arm wrapped around his waist.
"Comfortable?" Sirius murmured out and once the other nodded, he could relax.

They ended up watching almost 4 episodes of Doctor Who when the arm around his waist loosened and Sirius looked over at his boyfriend, who was sleeping quietly, lips parted and small breaths ghosting over Sirius's chest, so he turned the Tv off with a small sigh. The quiet silence was comfortable, and it was another half hour before he looked back to Remus, moving some hair out of the sleeping boy's face, and pressing the back of his hand to his forehead. His look softened when he felt that Remus was till quite hot, and guessed that the best thing to do was to sweat it out over the next day or so. He moved Remus a little bit to wrap his arms around him better, and the taller boy stirred, blinking in confusion. Sirius smiled at the cute grogginess that passed over his face before he coughed a bit, whining at his sore throat, and burrowing his face against Sirius's chest, making him chuckle slightly.
"hey there... you want something to soothe your throat?" He reached over for the Strepsils and Remus nodded, face still hidden in Sirius's chest. "Well I can't really give them to you like this, gorgeous." And with that Remus looked up at him with tired eyes and a sad look on his face. The Black almost 'awwhed' at the sight, but didn't want to annoy Remus in this state, so he just smiled and placed the sweet against his boyfriend's lips "open up, love" to which Remus obeyed and received another kiss to his brown curly hair.

"I hate being ill" Remus whimpered into Sirius's neck as the boy rubbed his back with a nod. "I know.. I know but you'll feel better soon as long as you listen to me, okay? you'll stay in bed for another day or so, and soon you'll feel good enough to make me breakfast again" He winked and Rem chuckled at that, wiping at his eyes and nose with a small sniffle. "Now just Relax, okay?" Siri asked and he could feel Remus's shoulders fall a bit, letting his cuddle up even closer, face hidden in Sirius's neck.
"Thank you Sirius"
"Anytime dear. Just be prepared to repay the favour, cause I'm most likely going to catch it from you, and I'm going to be dramatic about it"
He could practically feel the eye roll at that statement.
"When are you not?"
Sirius just chuckled in reply.
