3rd Person POV:

It was 9 in the morning when Remus' best friend and flat mate, Lily, came barging into his room.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!", she exclaimed, sitting on the bed.

Remus groaned and said, "What do you want? I don't have work today and I want to sleep in."

"Come on. I have to go shopping and you are coming with me."

"What? Why?"

"Because you are gay and you probably have great fashion sense."

"Firstly, stereotypes. Secondly, yes."

Laughing, Lily dragged Remus out of his bed and they left at 10 for the mall.

***
Sirius was in the make up store in the mall at 12.30, really annoyed that he had to work on the weekends. But at least he had his colleagues who were pretty cool.

They were all girls and friends of his. When he told them he was gay, they couldn't have cared less because it didn't change a thing.

His best friend and flat mate, James, was at home, probably sleeping late, that lucky bastard.

Sirius was snapped out of his thoughts by his friends, Becky, Jessica and Phillipa.

"I met this really cute guy yesterday," Jessica said.

"Really, what is his name?", Becky asked.

"Shut up Becky!", Jessica exclaimed.

"Now now, Jess, that is really rude," Phillipa explained.

Shaking his head, Sirius said, "You guys are idiots."

"You know, Sirius, you should go on a date soon. You haven't been on one in forever," Becky said.

"I know, but I haven't found anyone I like yet, Bec."

"You will soon enough, Si."

That is when the bell on the door rang, signalling that someone had just entered the shop.

Remus POV:

"Can we go home already?", I whine to Lily. You can't blame me, we have been here for 2 and a half hours.

2 AND A HALF HOURS! AND WE HAVE ONLY BEEN TO 2 SHOPS!

HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED, WOMAN?!?!?

"Patience, Rem. We will go home eventually," Lily answers, looking around.

"Yeah, in 10 years," I mumble under my breath. I don't think she heard because we then dragged me to a make up store nearby.

Great. Another hour wasted where I could be sleeping or binge watching Brooklyn 99.

As we entered the shop, the bell above the door rang, bringing the 4 employees' attention to us. There were 3 girls and 1 man working there.

Oh. My. God. The guy was so beautiful. With black hair that goes just below his ears, a small tattoo that it on his wrist and the way he is looking gorgeous in his work clothes.

I could have admired more and paid more attention to the name badge if Lily hadn't pulled me to the lipstick stands.

"Ugh, Lily," I groaned.

"Come on. Help me Remus."

"I don't use makeup. I know nothing about makeup," I say as my mind goes back to the beautiful person working here.

Sirius POV:

As the bell rang, we all stopped talking and looked up to see who came. And was I blessed.

There were two people who entered, a couple probably. I didn't care about the woman because me eyes were on the man whose hand she was holding.

He was magnificent. With light brown wavy hair, yellow eyes, and a velvet like voice when he spoke.

He was staring at me too, but quickly turned his gaze when the woman, named Lily, pulled him to the lipsticks. His name is Remus.

Phillipa went to assist them as I was frozen on my spot. Why do I have to fall for straight guys?

Remus POV:

I was really bored. For the past 10 minutes, all Lily did was try different shades of lipstick, some just looked to the same to me.

Then Lily saw me staring the guy working here and nudged me while saying, "Go to him, I'll be fine here. Please try to get his number for yourself."

Thanking her, I take a deep breath and make my way towards him. He was talking to one of the girls working there as well. But as I got closer, the girl whispered something in his ear and went away, which caused him to turn around to meet me.

"Hi," I say, trying not to sound nervous.

"Hi," he says back.

"My name is Remus," I say as I give my hand for a handshake.

"I am Sirius," he replies, shaking my hand.

"Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?", Sirius asks me, dropping my hand.

"My girlfriend...?", I ask confused until I realize he means Lily.

"Oh Lily. We are not dating. She is not my type. To be honest, girls are not my type."

"Oh...", he says, when I realized that I just confessed that I am gay.

"You are gay?", Sirius asked, "Great, so am I."

Sighing out of relief, I smiled at him.

"Did your friend drag here because of the stereotypes?", Siri asked.

No, Sirius, SIRIUS. I said Sirius.

"Yeah. But I helped her in the other shops, just here I am clueless."

"Well, this is my strong suit," Sirius said while smirking which caused me to blush a little (a lot).

The girl helping Lily walked away but not before nodding at Sirius, probably to take over. He heads over to Lils and starts helping her chose the best shade.

They still all look the same to me.

She finally chooses 2 after half an hour. As she heads over to pay, I linger near Sirius, thinking of a good way to ask for his number.

Once Lily is done paying, she whispers in my ear, "Have you asked for his number yet?"

"No, I don't know how to."

"Just ask him, Remus. Go!", she says, pushing me.

I tap on his shoulder to get his attention. When he turned around, I froze before saying, "Um... I-I like you and er... could I have your number?"

He didn't respond for 5 seconds before a smile took over his face and nodded in agreement. I nervously handed him my phone for him to enter his number.

He typed and gave it back. The contact is saved as "Sirius Black (make-up store)". Smiling at that, I messaged him so that he has my number.

Remus:
Hi

Sirius:
Hi

I am so glad that Lily dragged me out of bed. She completely destroyed my sleep and my only time of relaxing, but I met Sirius and she is forgiven.

A/N: I am on vacation in Leh, Ladakh in India and so nice and cold.

Bye Potterheads and Wolfstar Lovers,
Until Next Time,
