When you had thought about your future life you had always known that you were to be married to Remus, you loved him from the first moment that you had seen him and you could have only ever hoped that your future was bright and beautiful. You'd hoped to have a home together ready for if you chose to start a family, but either way you were just happy to have a place to call your own. Although these things came true you had never thought that also living in your home would be Sirius Black. You knew that he was a bit of a clingy git, but by the time you were about to celebrate five years of being Mrs Lupin you had never quite gathered that Sirius would still be in your spare room.

It wasn't that he couldn't afford his own home. He hadn't worked a day in his life, but he had been left a large sum of money from his uncle when he left his family many years ago, however since Lily and James had started a family and their spare room was occupied by their children it meant that you were lucky enough to receive his presence seen as he couldn't handle a moment alone.

You'd tried to get James to distract him for the evening but his youngest son had come down with the flu and Lily needed his help in wrangling the other kids and keeping them apart so it didn't spread meaning Sirius was stuck with the two of you on your anniversary.

The original plan was a romantic meal at home for the two of you, but with Sirius sat in the corner, it wasn't as great as you had planned, but you did your best to ignore him.

Once the dishes were washed and the two of you had made your way to the sofa (with Sirius sat in the arm chair) Remus had retrieved a hat box which he handed to you.

"I thought we said no gifts?" you smiled softly.

"I know. I know but you made dinner and are gift enough for me, so I thought I would get you something that I know you have always wanted and that can be there when I can't be," he said softly reaching out to hold your hand.

Your heart swelled at how much you loved your husband. Honestly sometimes it felt unreal.

"Remus, you didn't have to," you laughed, eager to open the box. "Can I open it?"

He nodded with a warm smile. "Just be careful."

You excitedly threw off the lid and you couldn't have been happier with what was inside. You lifted up a small kitten that was cuter than anything you had ever seen- well other than your husband of course.

"Moony! What the hell?" Sirius exclaimed.

"Sirius shut up," you frowned in his direction.

You pressed a kiss to Remus' lips completely content that he had bought you a cat.

"Thank you, Remus," you smiled.

"You're welcome Y/N," he grinned pecking your lips again.

The two of you embraced whilst you placed your cat into the box again so that you didn't accidentally hurt it whilst you hugged your husband.

By the time you had moved away Sirius had been stood in front of you holding your poor innocent kitten glaring at the poor thing.

"Sirius?" You frowned.

He ignored you, focusing on the kitten.

"I was here first," he growled at it. "Get out of my house."

You punched his arm taking the cat from him, cradling it in your arms.

"This isn't your house Sirius. You have outstayed your welcome if you ask me."

"Moony loves me. He'd never want me to leave," he argued.

You could tell that Remus wanted to contradict his view as although he did love Sirius, Remus clearly wanted some space from the clingy man. Before he was able to say anything, you had decided to speak.

"Well Sirius, both of us get a pet. I get a cat and Remus gets you. Now be quiet before we get you neutered," you frowned.

Instantly his eyes became wide before he scampered out of the room and away from you before you were able to do anything to him.
