Chapter 49

Remus emerges from the shower with a fluffy towel wrapped around securely his waist as he walks to his bedroom with the soft clink of his cane on the floor.

He quietly checks on Teddy peeking through a small makeshift crack in the bedroom door to see the blue-white-haired boy knocked out on the twin-size bed. An arm thrown over his face covers nearly him as it slowly sinks its way to the floor wearing nothing but a thin white tee and long pyjama bottoms that were beyond his short height.

He closed the door with a soft click and made his way back to his bedroom where another person was also sleeping.

Remus can't help but smile at him softly as he enters and closes the door behind him.

No matter how many times he had been so close to snogging Sirius, they always somehow got interrupted before their lips would press against one another. Mainly it came from Teddy, but there were other universal cockblocking objects such as an incoming phone call to an alarm going off signaling the food was ready that was stuffed in the oven.

Sirius's long inky black hair was sprawled around his head with his arm also tossed over his face covering his eyes. His year's worth of tattoos on display without a shirt on and the blankets only managed to be right above his defined sharp hipbones, the skin there was also decorated with black ink but the added black curls that dipped deliciously lower down hidden away to where his-

"I can feel your eyes undressing me, Moony," Sirius grumbles from under his arm.

"I was not." Remus puffs in dental going to his dresser and grabbing his briefs to quickly throw on with the help of balance of his bed before Sirius is more awake to goggle over him.

Sirius removes his arm to peer over to Remus who sat on the edge of the bed. "Sure. And I'm straight as a rainbow."

Remus rolled his eyes before getting up again to collect more articles of clothing. His back turned against Sirius as he pulled out a thin jumper and plaid pyjama pants for the morning seeing he had nowhere to be until the late afternoon.

He couldn't help but shiver sensing silver eyes on him. Without looking towards Sirius as he hobbles back over to the bed to yank his bottoms on he pulls a Sirius card.

Behind over to pull his feet through the pants holes, "If you keep undressing me with your eyes, I'm going to catch a cold."

He spares a quick glance towards Sirius to see his cheeks pink and flushed which puts a smirk on his face as he faces him. Sirius eyes his marred chest, tracing every silvery-pink scar on his chest as the silver in his eyes gradually decreases in visibility being replaced with his black and blowing out pupils.

Sirius quickly sits up, crawling on the bed on all fours and making his way over to Remus. He stands as tall as he can on his knees, heads only reaching up just past Remus's collarbone.

Sirius raises his hands, laying them on his collarbones with his thumb lightly rubbing over the dips. "What time does Teddy wake up?"

"Not until after 8, much later more likely," Remus answers closing his eyes as Sirius's fingers timidly touch his chest tracing over his scars.

"Hmm," Remus doesn't open his eyes as he inhales a sharp breath feeling the light touch of Sirius's pink lips on his tan chest pressing a kiss on his sternum, slowly making his way up his neck taking his time. Just as his lips hover over Remus's own, his warm breath mixes with Remus's as their noses brush against one another. "I can work with it."

Remus lifts the hand that wasn't gripping his cane to lay on Sirius's jaw, his thumb brushing over his bottom lip as he finally opens his eyes. Just before Remus is given the opportunity to dip down to finally kiss Sirius, a knock hits the wood.
