{The song is at the top^}

Remember when we first met?
You said 'Light my Cigarette'.
So I lied to my mom and dad
I jumped the fence and I ran

"Where are you going at this hour, Remus," Hope Lupin asked.

"I'm going over to Lily's," Remus lied. Lily used her woman power to convince Remus to go to James' party tonight.
Lily was finally dating James Potter.
Well...More like James was finally dating her. So, since she's his girlfriend, James made her promise to help host any of the Parties he had and that he'll always have Lily's favorite, Strawberry Cake Pops. Lily appreciated his efforts very much and was excited since this would be the first Party she would host with James, but she just wanted to have cute and cuddly Remus at her side wherever she went. Just to know he's safe.

So, this is what lead Remus to sneaking out at 10:30 pm and lying to his mum. He would do anything for his little Lily Flower. Besides, she needed big brother protection wherever she went. It wasn't like Remus wanted to lock her in a house made to keep her from the dangers of the outside world. Not like that at all.

"Alright, well have fun dear and don't stay up too long," Hope said with a weary sigh.

With a quick kiss of the cheek and a 'thanks mum!' Remus was driving his car down to the Potter's manor. Lily gave him the directions on a little index card that told him the manor was just 15 minutes from his house.

It turns out he didn't really need directions, for as soon as he heard the loud music and saw flashing lights he knew he was there. There was also the letter 'P' carved in swirling, golden calligraphy on the spiked front gates that gave it away.

He parked his McLaren Speedtail(see picture above)next to the bench he saw his red-haired best friend waiting on. When he got out Lily arched one penciled eyebrow with a smirk at his car, but didn't say anything. 

She looked like the definition of the slang term 'Chillaxed' if her neon green sweatbands, plain white tank-top, and messy bun were anything to go by. She was gorgeous, to say the least. Remus knew James would not let Lily out of his sight tonight, and neither would he.

Remus was wearing his usual outfit; a cream waffle-knitted jumper with some coffee-brown trousers. His dirty blond curls were not combed since he knew he often rakes his hands through it.

"You look very dashing, Lilith," Remus said with fake formality.

"Why thank you, but I don't think James will appreciate you saying that too much," Lily said teasingly.

"I'm just telling the truth. Shall we," he asked holding his arm out.

"We shall."

As soon as they stepped foot through the door, they were hit with the scent of freshly baked strawberry cake pops. Lily turned to look at him.

"Anndddd that's my cue to find James. See you later Rem."

Before Remus could protest her leaving, she was already gone. He sighed and made his way to the bar counter where a chocolate fountain and bowl of Strawberries were set. He took one look at them and instantly forgot about Lily leaving. He took two chocolate dipped strawberries at a time and made sure his mouth was fully filled before swallowing each time.

By the time he was finished, his stomach was full and the music was now too much for his sensitive ears. He went outback and onto the Potter's balcony where he took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter to smoke.
About 6 minutes later, a boy with wavy shoulder length hair, tight black jeans, and a leather Jacket showed up right next to him.

He was breathtaking, in Remus' opinion.

"Light my cigarette," asked the boy. His voice was deep and velvety. It was so perfect. Remus obeyed and pulled out his lighter. When the boy breathed out the smoke, it was then Remus noticed that the boy's eyes were the exact same color as it. They were a light grey; not grey, Silver.

But we couldn't get very far
Cause you left your keys in the car
So you sat and stared at my lips
And I could already feel your kiss

"So stranger," he continued. "What are you doin' 'ere? No offense, but ya' don't quite look like the partyin' type."

Remus quickly snapped out of his trance and said, "I'm not. My friend Lily, that red-haired girl who was the DJ on stage, wanted me to come here with her so she wouldn't be too alone. The music got too much so I came out here to have a smoke and to stargaze a bit."

"Hmm," the mystery boy hummed thoughtfully. "Coincidence. I'm named after a star, but I like to think of it as the star was named after me. I'm Sirius."

"Remus."

Sirius held out his hand for Remus to shake. When he took it, Sirius pulled him closer so Remus was pressed against his body. "And I know a perfect place if you want to stargaze."

Remus was breathing very hard now, but Sirius didn't seem to mind. He pulled away from a flustered Remus and took his hand and lead him down the balcony and onto the grass.

"If you lay down right here," Sirius said while positioning himself on the ground. "You'll see my favorite constellation."

As Remus laid next to him, he looked up at the night sky to find 9 stars and connected them.

"Lupin," he breathed. He turned to Sirius, confused, but was even more baffled when Sirius' face were mere centimeters away from his. "How'd you-"

Sirius gave a deep chuckle. "Don't think I haven't noticed you in school, Lupin," he whispered. "Sweater boy, book guy,
Strawberry stealer, and all-around-cutie."

Remus was at lost for words. This was Sirius. Sirius freaking black. Troublemaker of the school. The boy who swaggers down the hallways of Hogwarts High clad in that stupidly beautiful leather jacket. A boy who owns a motorcycle for Christ's sake! Remus slowed his thinking for a moment. The boy who got disowned by his high class family, the boy who was always seen smiling...
the same boy who was found with many scars running along his torso and arms-

"Bloody Hell," Remus said to himself.

"Bloody Hell indeed," Sirius agreed. "There's just something about you, Lupin. Something about how you slouch when you walk because you're weighed down by books... something about those fuzzy jumpers and cardigans you wear everyday... something about your amber eyes that I can't seem to find on anyone else... just something about you."

Long nights
Daydreams
Sugar and smoke rings
I've been a fool
But Strawberries and cigarettes
Always taste like grey eyes, black jeans, Lighters and candy
I've been a fool
Strawberries and cigarettes
Always taste like you

"And we can just pretend, if you want, that Sirius and Lupin aren't that many lightyears away," Sirius said. His eyes were now set on Remus' lips and Remus' eyes on his. As Sirius slowly leaned in, Remus couldn't hold himself back and smashed his mouth onto Sirius'. His grey eyes widened with the force Remus used but slowly fluttered close and focused on the kiss.

Their lips weren't moving, they were just pressed against the other's, too weak to move but strong enough to taste.

And as Remus let Sirius' taste wash over him, he tasted two things that explained why his two favorite things in the world are what they are.
He tasted...

Strawberries and Cigarettes.
