"Remus C'mon look, just one picture !"

Remus covers his face in his hands. "Sirius, I look terrible !"

The pedestrians walk past them with odd eyes. Why were two boys bickering to take a single photo ?

Sirius lowers the camera which he named Sirius the Second. When asked he simply says that Sirius the Second is sexy and expensice as fuck. Just like himself.

Remus might as well blame himself for this whirlwind. Afterall he was the one to introduce pure Sirius to the contraption. He brought Lyall's polaroid to Hogwart's in 6th year and Sirius couldn't get enough of it.

He even negotiated a price for the polaroid but Remus knows his father would bury him under their poppy bush if he sold it. Sirius was heartbroken. He kissed the camera when they left for the summer holidays. Much to Remus' jealousy.

("Stupid camera, you come here for a few months and you got him in love. I'm here for 6 years of his life and I'm getting no where !")

Then during Hogsmeade weekend, the Marauders obviously snuck off to the city. While James and Peter scouted the shops for clothes and other trinkets, Remus pulled Sirius to a camera shop Lyall frequents. Remus counts that as a date until now.

He remembers the stars in Sirius' eyes at the rows and rows of cameras lined on the wall. Cameras of every model and color, lack, silver even leather brown. Sirius drooled at the sight. He found a small black camera and instantly fell in love.

Remus paid for it. Even when Sirius protested and nearly clawed his wallet out of his hands. Remus pinches his waist to get him away. The deed was done.

Right now, in the middle of London's busy streets, Remus kinda regrets buying that thing for the love of his life.

"Remus, I promise I won't make you look bad," Sirius fiddles with the settings. "Not that you could actually look bad."

The werewolf goes into panic. He did not just hear that right ?

"I don't think you'd be able to look bad, even if you tried." Sirius continued.

With a final click, the Black lets out a satisfied sigh. He points the camera back up at Remus.

"C'mon smile for me, imagine someone pretty."

Someone pretty ? He's looking at him right now.

"Remus, if that's how you look at someone pretty, now I get why you're single."

The werewolf glares at him. Sirius lowers the camera just enough to glare back. But his glares aren't scary at all. It was cute. Not an ounce of intimidation. Well, at least to Remus.

The glare made him break his own. Snorting and giggling at Sirius. In return, the cameraman grinned. Bingo ! He quickly snaps the picture before Remus realizes it.

He brisk walks away, slinking out of Remus' reach. Sirius will fight tooth and nail to keep that picture. Heck he'll burn Remus' favourite sweaters to keep the werewolf distracted.

Remus catches up to him. Curse his long legs !

"You look nice Moons, don't worry. I'll get this processed the first second the shop opens tomorrow." Sirius promises with a wink.

Remus hears his heartbeat drum in his ears. He's 18, fresh out of Hogwart's, walking in London ALONE with his crush and yet he couldn't say anything to him. C'mon Lupin he's right THERE.

Sirius lets the camera hang on his neck as they walked down the block. Not really having a plan in mind, the two romantics are philosophical that way. Spontaneous adventures are their dynamic.
