On a rare occasion we're James and Peter were doing their own thing. Jams probably pestering Lily and Peter in the kitchen eating all the sweets he could find. Remus and Sirius would be under the big oak tree next to the Black Lake. This was the time we're Remus would sit behind Sirius and braid his long curly black hair, that would make it even curlier when he took them out. Sirius would pick flower crowns of all sorts of colors.
"Mm" Sirius hummed as Remus ever-so gently braided his hair, making Sirius close his eyes and almost fall asleep.
"Falling asleep again?" Remus smiled tying the rubber band in circles, inclosing the braid. Sirius noded.
"But I need the flower crowns and flowers to put the your hair Siri" Remus reached for the crown on the grass. He then put it in Sirius' hair making the finished piece. Sirius turned to his boyfriend so he could see his hair.
"And once again I made a beautiful masterpiece" Remus smiled fixing the flower crown.
"Eh I don't like it" Sirius joked. Remus playfully slapped his shoulder, rolling his eyes.
"Well then if you don't like it what do you like?" Remus said sarcastically.
"Remus John Lupin" Sirius smirked.
"I'm flattered Pads but I don't get how such s beautiful and handsome man could love, me" Remus stated. The corner of Sirius' lip went up as Remus said that.
"Remus stop talking bad about yourself " Sirius sounded annoyed I mean he was.
"But I'm a beast, a monster" Remus looked down at the flower in his hand.
"Shut the fuck up, Remus John Lupin your no such thing, your as beautiful as me" Sirius said. Remus smiled shaking his head.
"You idiot" Remus looked up.
"But I'm your idiot" Sirius smiled, kissing his boyfriend. "Rem can you promise me something"
"Yes what is it?" Remus dropped the flower he was holding.
"Don't ever talk bad about yourself again" Sirius looked Remus straight in the eye.
"I'm just telling the tru-" Remus was cut off but Sirius putting a finger to his lips.
"Remus please, promise me" Sirius begged. That really got to Sirius when Remus talked bad about himself. It made him sad seeing the self hatred Remus had for himself. Then Remus started crying, balling. It's finally hit Remus, he lived with this for 11 years and it never hit him....
"I'm s-sorry" Remus tears soaked the black T-shirt Sirius was wearing.
"Hey you have nothing to be sorry for" Sirius rubbed circles in Remus' back "you cant help this, it's not your fault"
"I can't help it I-" Remus looked up at Sirius. His vision was blurry from the tears. Sirius took his thumb and wiped the tears.
...he would have to live with being a beast forever.
