Sirius can't keep his mouth shut. That is...an accepted fact. Remus lives with it. He hears his chirpy voice everyday and he likes it. He loves hearing whatever thought crosses Sirius' head. It helps him understand that weird brain on his.

But one thing about Sirius' chatty self is he couldn't keep a secret. It's not because he purposely spreads secrets, he just accidentally blurts it out.

And Remus loves comforting him through it.

Imagine how many birthday suprises for Remus that got leaked.

One time Sirius was carefully noting his shopping list. He was all focused, a pen in hand and a calculator on the other.

"Now I'm thinking I should order a rosé champagne just to spice things up.' He thought out loud.

"What's the occasion ?" Remus asked as he stepped out of the shower. His eyes curiously trying to catch a glimpse of whatever Sirius wrote.

"It's Remus' birthday. He likes rosé and I thought I should order a custom made one." He said without looking up.

The other stopped drying his hair. He let the towel drop to his chest. "Uhh Sirius, was this meant to be a surprise ?"

"Of course ! Ugh I've been planning this for WEEKS I-" Sirius finally realized.

He groaned and crumpled his face with his palm. "Me and my lousy mouth."

Remus offered him an apologetic smile. "It's okay, I'll forget this ever happened."

He leaned down for a kiss and walked as far as he could from his boyfriend. At least, he's caring like that.

But Sirius is determined. This time, he won't say ANYTHING. Nope, nothing out of his mouth. Because this event is important. Brutal. Crucial.

He's planning to ask Remus to marry him.

He stealthily hid all his preparations. Made the phone calls when he left for the office. Went to the venue with Lily so Remus won't get suspicious. He sneaked around ring shops for the perfect fit.

It was all smooth sailing. Remus did not suspect a thing.

Here's the problem, as boyfriends it's natural for them to wear each other's clothing right ? Sirius may or may not have put the ring box in the wrong jacket.

Remus was getting himself a glass of water when he felt a cube in his jacket pocket. His fingers wandered inside. Lo and behold, its the navy blue ring box.

In the bedroom, Sirius paled. Where did he put the stupid ring ? How could he be so forgetful ? What if he lost it ?

Great, Sirius thought, another plan ruined.

"Remus, have you seen the black jacket I like to wear-"

Sirius' eyes glared at the clothing article fitted snugly on Remus. The other had both hands in its pockets. Sirius knows hiding it is a lost cause.

The taller had a smug look on his face. He drew the box out and toyed with it as he walked closer, slow and torturous. "This what you're looking for ?"

Sirius face planted on Remus' chest in a sad attempt to cover his blushed cheeks. "Don't tease me. I was this close to success."

He felt Remus' staccato breathing as his laugh rang around the room. Arms wrapped themselves around him in a comforting hug. "I'm not teasing you."

Remus' lips kissed his temple. "I'll pretend I've never seen it."

He slipped the box in Sirius' jeans. "Cmon now, enough sulking. I have a proposal date to attend."

Sirius perked up. "So were you gonna say yes ?"

Remus had the gentlest look in his eyes as he tucked a piece of stray hair behind his ear. "Why would I give you the satisfaction of saying it, if you already know the answer ?"

Sirius nodded with a grin. "Me and my lousy mouth." He smiled, craning his neck to kiss Remus.

The other giggled into the kiss. "I love your lousy mouth and your lovely face mmm just my type." He rained the kiss attack.

"Forget the date, let's stay home." Sirius breathlessly said. His palms caressing the sides of his love's face.

"Mmm okay." A peck. "Let's stay home."

The comfortable silence exchanged for a fit of laughter as Sirius gets thrown over Remus' shoulder.

Lovingly said, Sirius and his lousy mouth. ♡
