176. Jewels

It is no secret Sirius loves jewellery. Perhaps it's the only habbit given by his family that he likes.

He has an extensive knowledge on different diamonds and metals. He'd spend hours at ateliers just chatting and studying different jewels. The owner doesn't mind. In fact they invite Sirius over each time they had a new release.

When Remus came into the picture, his love of dazzling himself became a love for dazzling his boyfriend.

Remus got ear piercings just for Sirius' amusement.

"Oh ! These emeralds will make your eyes pop." Sirius rummaged his jewelry box as he sat on Remus' lap.

The other only had to watch him work, arms around Sirius' waist to steady him.

It became a cute thing between them. If the pair had to go to an event, jewelry fitting is scheduled the night before.

"Pearls ?" Sirius drapes the necklace around Remus' collar bones. "You have a really nice neck and chest area."

"Yeah ? Their yours." Remus says, loving eyes staring up at Sirius' blushing form.

He took Sirius' hand and brought them to the coloum of his neck. Sirius' ringed fingers curled around the sides as Remus dragged his hands down from his Adam's apple to the junction to the collarbones.

"All yours."

(Maybe Remus has a choking kink but we're not gonna talk about that)

Sirius giggled, going all flustered. He hides his ruby red face in Remus' neck. "God, what did He put in you Remus ?"

The other laughed. His arms went from Sirius' waist to his back, holding him against his chest.

"I want to ask you something." Remus brings Sirius' left hand up. "Why'd you never wear rings on this finger ?"

His pointer and thumb genty squeezed Sirius' ring finger. "I noticed, you'd wear rings on all but this one."

Sirius wonders what else Remus notices about him, with those hawk like eyes.

"Well, it just feels wrong to wear it there." Sirius shrugs. "I don't know, I'm being sentimental for no reason. I want to keep that spot special for someone."

Sirius doesn't say it. But he hopes that someone is the person laying under him right then. Remus kisses the finger and put it back on his stomach.

"Wait okay ?"

Sirius' eyes glared. "What do you mean wait ? Remus !"

Remus chuckled, ruffling Sirius' hair. He pulls his legs from under Sirius and runs off, leaving Sirius alone.

"Just wait !"

That night, Sirius can't enjoy the ball in peace.

He's holding onto Remus' left arm as they move around the giant ballroom. The taller sometimes laces his hand with Sirius' and rubs his ring finger subtly.

Other people would've thought it to be a cute gesture between a couple but Sirius felt cold sweat. Why is he playing with his ring finger at dinner ? Is he... maybe.. planning to decorate it ?

After the banquet, Sirius thought it'd be the end of it. No more subtle hints. But no, it gets worse.

"So would you rather gold or silver ?" The werewolf asks, skimming through a catalog of jewelry.

Sirius knows that catalog. It's from his favourite atelier. Which he knows for sure, Remus does not have an interest in.

"Gold, of course. Silver hurts you right ?" Sirius begins cautiously.

"Mmm. Favourite diamond ?"

The other rolls his eyes. "You already know these things Remus. I talk your ears off about the sexiness of rubies and clear diamonds."

Remus humms, flipping to another page. "Okay."

Sirius replies with a slow "uh huh" and escapes to their room.
To think about it, Remus seems to be dropping hints about a wedding ring. Sirius pondered, if Remus is going to pop the question he should get moving too. Ambush Remus with a ring of his own !

Sirius' evil mind started tinkering.

The next day, he runs off to his jeweller before Remus awakes. Thankfully he's a regular there so the owner is more than happy to serve him so early in the morning.

He's getting Remus a diamond. Classic little thing but it's symbolic. Diamonds are one of the toughest materials on earth, he'd want their love to be that way.

Sirius slinks around their apartment, finding a good place to hide the ring box. He wonders if a potted plant is too obivous.

"What are you doing ?" A voice came from behind his shoulder.

"Oh nothing ! I was just looking at our plants."

Stupid excuse.

Remus raises his eyebrow in that God honest sexy-intimidating-slam-me-to-the-wall way. "Uhh ok so.. date night tonight ?"

"Right yeah, I was gonna go get ready." Sirius tries to escape.

But Remus held his waist as he scurried past. The taller whispers to his ear. "Keep that 4th finger empty okay ?"

Sirius kisses his cheek and hurries to the bedroom. Holy shit ! He's planning to propose tonight !?

***

The drive was quiet. Sirius felt his heart leap out of his chest as he watched Remus idly play with his fingers.

During their dinner, Sirius jumps at every waiter walking too close to him. Remus eats his steak with an amused smile.

"I'm not a typical cheesy promisor Sirius." Remus says as cutting the tenderloin. "I have more tricks up my seeve."

Sirius groans. "Well I have mine."

This proposal is becoming an ambush war.

Sirius watches closely at every dish he's served, fearing his ring might be in there. His mind is racing on what ways he could make his proposal unique.

But the more he thinks about it, nothing pops up. Sirius sighs in his mind. He has to let it flow naturally perhaps.

So as they strolled on the boarded walk by the harbour, Sirius finally musters the gut to ask.

"Remus, what do you think of marrying me ?"

The taller chokes on cotton candy, doubling over to get the pink cotton out of his throat.

"Yes, I'd love to-" Remus says, his face as pink as the candy he's holding. "-marry you of course."

Sirius smiles before pointing at him triumphantly. "HAHA ! I beat you to it ! I put the ring on you first !"

"Really ?" Remus challenged. "I never said I was going to buy you a ring."

Color drained from Sirius' face. "What ?"

"I've already put mine on you."

Sirius' hand ghosted the diamond necklace Remus wore him just before the dinner.

"You sly little shit." Sirius punches his arm softly.

"I thought a ring is too basic. A necklace, that'll make a statement." Remus shifts Sirius' hair to better see the glimmering rocks. "But if you're into rings, I have a whole set."

Remus takes a box from his coat. Inside were tear drop ruby earrings with a matching ring. Sirius jaw dropped.

"Marry me right now." He says. "This was the set I pointed to last week ! You remembered."

Remus shrugs. "See, I do pay attention to what you like." He tucks a strand behind Sirius' ear. "So, can I steal your name ?"

Sirius cups Remus' face gently. "only if I can steal yours."
