Sirius Black is a world known writer. Aside from his best selling adult thriller books, he goes 180° with his children's storybooks. Because of that, critiques call him the Chameleon of Modern Literature.

Enter Remus Lupin, his husband. Who he met in a book convention. The man, as expected, had his nose deep in a book and didn't realize who he was talking to until he actually looked up.

The famous author took a liking towards the shy bookworm who stuttered his praise for Sirus' newest work once he recognizes him.

It was all uphill from there.

After a million dates, Remus moved in Sirius' pent house. Then one day, as Remus watched Sirius face plant on his desk frustrated because he couldn't find the right word to describe a foot, Remus blurted the question.

Sirius, as expected, says yes.

They're married for 2 years now. They trust each other to the bone. Except for one secret Remus kept even from his husband. He was a werewolf. A real, werewolf. The type to howl at the moon and eat bears.

Remus didn't think he was lying. He's simply not telling the whole truth.

"Sorry sweetheart, dad's invited me to a father son bonding session in the mountains this weekend."

Half true, Lyall did drive Remus up the mountain. Though there were more wolfing than bonding.

"Can we reschedule that to next week ? I got a business trip in 2 days."

Half true, he had to go on a business trip that he arranged to get away in his cabin in the middle of nowhere to werewolf.

So, you can imagine the shock Remus would feel when Sirius suddenly asks him,  "Hey Rem, do you think werewolves live in packs ?"

Remus almost dropped his mug. "Wh-What ?"

"Werewolves. Yknow, Jacob."

The other rolled his eyes. Of course, Twilight.

"I think they live in packs. Werewolves are genetically brought down so..." Remus answered.

Sirius stared at him thoughtfully behind his glasses. He shrugged. "Huh, I suppose you're right."

He turned back to his laptop, back to ignoring Remus' existence until he's finished with the chapter.

The taller sighed in relief and quickly escaped the living room. What was that all about ?

Since then, the questions got a lot more detailed.

"Do you think werewolves have scars in human form ?"

"Umm maybe. But if they roam free, it'll be less likely." Remus said, tugging his sweater sleeves down.

"What would they eat ?"

Remus stirred the vegetables in the pan he's holding. "Normal people food ? Unless they're in wolf form, which means they'll be completely carnivorous."

Sirius wonders how his husband has such an extensive knowledge on mythical creatures. He blames it on Teen Wolf. Although Remus swears he never watched a single episode of that "dumb drama", his netflix history says differently.

Sirius loves asking Remus. It's like looking for answers from a book and having the book say it to you instead of you searching for it.

Remus assumes the questions were for a new book. Which was true, Sirius said  he has a new children's story coming up. But the questions became... personal.

"Do you think Werewolves keep their identity secret ?"

Remus chokes on his sandwhich, the piece of bacon stuck in his throat. Sirius jumps from his seat and gets Remus water as he rubs his back soothingly.
