First year:

"Gryffindor!" The hat booms. Remus Lupin walks to the Gryffindor table and sits with a few other first years. Lily Evans, the redheaded one if he remembers correctly. And beside him: Sirius Black, the raven haired boy looking uncomfortable. A few people patted him on the back, but he shook them off and offered his hand to Sirius. 

"I'm Remus Lupin. Sirius, isn't it?" He says. The boy looks up at him, then at his extended hand, warily. 

"Yeah. Sirius. Black," he adds, as if that means anything to Remus. "You seem confused. Muggleborn?"

"Half-blood, apparently. Raised by my muggle mother."

"Cool." 

"Gryffindor!" They both turn to see their new classmate. A boy walks down the aisle. He sits across from Remus and Sirius and makes no move to introduce himself. 

"Remus Lupin," Remus says, nodding across at the boy. 

"Peter P-pettigrew," the boy says, gaping at Sirius. "Are you..?"

"If you're asking if I'm the Sirius Black, heir to the one and only Black family, then yes. Yes I am."

"What does that mean?" Remus asks. Peter turns to him. 

"Have you never heard of the Black family?" Remus shakes his head. "Well-"

"Well, you don't need to know. It's fine," Sirius cuts in. Remus wants to ask again, but also wants to respect Sirius' obvious boundaries. Before he can say anything, though, another boy comes up behind them. 

"Hello. James Potter, and you are?" James asks, grinning as he sits down with his hand out to Remus. 

"Remus. Lupin. Nice to meet you." They shake hands.

"Cool name. You?" he turns to Peter.

"Peter Pettigrew." 

"Nice meeting you. Wait..." he turns to Sirius, who tenses up beside Remus. "are you Sirius Black?" 

"Yes."

"Cool. James Potter," James repeats. Sirius lets out a breath and smiles. "I think we're going to be the best of mates, wouldn't you agree?" Sirius nods happily. Eventually, the rest of the first years are sorted and the feast begins. 

"I'm Marlene McKinnon," a girl, Marlene apparently, says to the boys. 

"Mary McDonald," another girl adds, the one across from Marlene. 

"Lily Evans," the redheaded girl adds. 

"Well, first hour here and I already have a group of friends. This year is going perfect so far," James says. 

First day of classes

Remus fiddles with his tie, trying to get it straight. It always comes out a sloppy mess, since he's never done this before. 

"Remus, do you need a hand?" 

"No," Remus says, dismissing Sirius with a flippant wave of his hand. Sirius continued to watch Remus struggle in amusement. 

"Let me help you," he says, reaching out. Remus hits his hands away. 

"I can do it."

"You don't seem to be able to. We're going to be late." At this, Remus surrender and Sirius ties the damned thing for him. 

"Thanks," Remus mutters after Sirius stepped away. 

"No problem." 

Every single day. Sirius tied Remus' tie every day. By about the fifth, Remus was completely capable of doing it himself. But Sirius did it. Yes, the same Sirius who never went longer than a few hours without untying his tie, and only retying it when Minnie yelled at him. 

This tradition kept up until their fifth year, where Sirius stopped wanting to get up early for classes Remus took, but he didn't. So for two days of the week Remus tied his own tie. It looked very similar to the way Sirius tied it, but it never felt right to Remus. Too tight, too loose, too something. But, it had to be done, so he did it and eventually got used to it. 

Sixth Year  (yeah I know time skip shhhh I wanted to update)

Remus wakes up and pulls on his uniform, and was about to grab his tie when Sirius pulled it out of his reach. 

"Not so fast, Professor Moons." Sirius grins impishly. 

"C'mon Sirius, I have to go to class. Give me my tie."

"No," Sirius says, poking Remus' nose. Remus batted his hand away affectionately, reaching for the tie. Sirius brought it out of his reach again. "Come on, it'll be just like first year." 

"Fine, but hurry up." Sirius does as told, reaching up and behind Remus' head to wrap the tie under his collar. After he finishes, he keeps his hold. "Sirius, let go of me," Remus says, trying to pry Sirius' hands off. 

"And if I don't want to? What if I have you right where I want you...?" This effectively flusters the werewolf, making him go red and open his mouth like a fish. 

"W-what?" He splutters. Sirius grins up at him, tugging gently at the tie. Remus' head goes with the movement, bringing it closer to Sirius'. Remus' eyes are wide and trained on Sirius, using all his will power not to even glance down at his lips. Turns out, his will power is lacking. Sirius sees his eyes flick down, the corners of his mouth tugging up. 

"Do you want to kiss me, Moony?"

"Yes," Remus says without thinking. Sirius pulls the tie again, closing the space between them. Their lips meet gently, Remus' head tilted down and Sirius' tilted up to an extreme to compensate for the seven inches between them. (Sirius is 5'8" and Remus is 6'3") 

"Oi! This is a dorm! Snog somewhere else, we all know you've been dying to for years," James says dramatically. Remus and Sirius break apart, and Sirius smooths his tie again. 

"Will do," Sirius says to James. "Remus. I happen to know an exquisite broom cupboard on your way to Arithmancy." 

Ever since they graduated, Sirius still ties Remus' tie. To James and Lily's wedding. To dates. To outings with friends. And every time he does, he always pulls Remus in for a kiss. 

See? I told you I can write fluff. Just don't think about the fact that Remus had to tie his own tie for James and Lily's funeral. Or his first day working at Hogwarts.      ............. Happy reading!!
