I Dreamt Of You (Wolfstar)

Chapter 15

Back at the Manor, Remus led Sirius back to their room and they placed the Elf's new pup down, where it promptly curled up and fell asleep, being young as the shopkeeper had said. They had gotten supplies for it and set everything up quickly with the help of a few house-elves.
Once that was done, Remus went over to a drawer and pulled out a small green box, returning to sit next to Sirius on the bed. Handing it to his mate, the brunette smiled at him. "This was meant to be a birthday present as well from our family as a whole, but it was not ready in time."
Sirius opened it curiously, finding a stunning silver bracelet set. There were tiny runes and decorations engraved on the metal surface, making it an intricately detailed piece.
"What is it?" Sirius asked his mate with wide eyes.
"It is a promise bracelet for the two of us, that we'll support and protect each other. It has protective runes on it that prevent it from being removed by anyone other than one of us of our free will and will shield and alert us about spells, potions, and runes being used on us. We can also communicate through them by pressing the upraised button in the middle and saying a password." Remus explained, taking Sirius' arm so he could place one of the metal bands on his wrist, before extending his own so his mate could do the same. The bracelets magically resized themselves to fit snugly but comfortably on their arms.
"That's amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Sirius launched himself into Remus' lap and hugged him tightly.
"The password for the magical phone aspect of the bracelets is 'verus amor'." The brunette told his mate.
Sirius' eyes lit up after a moment. "Oh, that's true love in Latin, right?" He said, smiling adorably at the werewolf.
"Yeah, I hope you don't mind." Remus replied, feeling shy.
"No, I think it's cute!" He told Remus.
"I'm glad you like it. I also will be taking you out later on a date, little one." Remus whispered. He had found himself calling Sirius that a lot recently, as part of their bond, and since Sirius didn't seem to mind, he'd given up on trying to avoid using it. "I thought you might want to spend your birthday with the family, so I waited until now and made sure everything would be perfect."
Feeling bold, Sirius gave Remus a peck on the cheek and darted off of his lap shyly, cheeks pink Remus watched with a hand absently covering his cheek, smiling the entire time.
"Anything else you wanted to do today?" Remus asked.
"Can you help me come up with good names for my pup? It wants to choose its own." Sirius explained, playing with his hair.
Remus thought for a moment. "It would mostly depend on the gender, but what about Draconis, Vanandi, which is Latin for hunter, or... hmm... Ethas? Those are all primarily male names."

Harry liked the look on Remus' face when he was deep in thought. It made him look serious, but not emotionless like he sometimes did when he was surrounded by rude or noisy people.
"Let me ask it." He said, walking over to where the puppy lay curled up napping. "Are you awake?" He grumbled down to it, "I just realised I don't know your gender, and that would be helpful in coming up with names." "Yes, I am male." The cub responded, head raising to look at him.
"My mate has come up with three; Draconis, Vanandi, and Ethas." Sirius said.
"Hmm..." the pup mused, "I think I like Vanandi. Hunter it means. I will be called Vanandi."
"Okay, Vanandi. I have to leave with my mate now, but I will be back later." Sirius nodded, smiling at his pup.
Farewell, speaker. Vanandi hissed.
"He likes the name Vanandi." Sirius told Remus, who was looking slightly, er, flustered at him speaking the canines tongue. "Oh, come on, Remus, you'll get used to it eventually. Now, I heard something about a date earlier?"
Remus laughed. "Oh, yes, little one. We need to start getting ready."
