Café Romance [Completed]

Twelve years

Wednesday 24th December 1996;

Remus sighed as he sat at one of the tables in his café. He was getting older and he knew he wouldn't be able to run the small Café for much more than, at least, ten more years. He was thirty nine for crying out loud!

He heard the small bell above the Café door chime and looked up, seeing his best is or ex wife Tonks standing just above him with their one year old son, Theodore, or as Tonks liked to call him, Teddy. The small child reached out for his father and Remus gladly took him from his mother and started tickling the small child's belly. The shrill squeaks, deep chuckles and loud giggles sounded so loudly through the shop, that Remus almost didn't hear the bell chime again. A tall, tanned teenage boy stood at the door, his messy untamed black hair falling lazily over his lightly freckled face. His eyes where a gentle shade of blue, green and grey.

"H- hello? Is this Café Romance?" Remus have the child back to Tonks and stood up, smiling warmly at the teenage boy standing in front of him.
"Yes, it sure is. What can I get you?" The teenage boy smiled awkwardly and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Actually, I was here to ask for a part-time job." Remus was taken aback no one, besides Arthur, ever wanted to work in the café.
"Oh... Sure! You can start right now, if you'd like. I have an extra apron behind the counter." The teenager's ran face lit up and his lips curled into a large smile.
"Yes! Dad'll be so proud!" The man smiled and waved goodbye to his friend as she said her goodbyes and left with Teddy.

Remus and the teen stood behind the counter and chatted quietly about life whilst the customers ate, drank and talked loudly.
"I never got your name, Kid." Remus stated, quietly sipping a beautifully made latte the teen had made himself. The boy blushed and laughed awkwardly as he cupped the hot chocolate in his palms.
"Oh, right. Harry. My name's Harry Potter." Remus suddenly started choking on his coffee. Slamming the cup down, he doubled over choking and slightly tearing up.
"H- hey, are you alright?" Harry asked, concern and terror plastered across his face. Remus nodded and stood up slowly, wiping his face with a tissue nearby.

"Who exactly is your father?" Remus asked, leaning against the counter.
"My father is Sirius Black." Remus nearly fainted.
"Sirius Black adopted James's kid?" Harry seemed to understand completely.
"You're Remus Lupin, aren't you?" Remus nodded, answering the teen's question.
"Indeed I am. I was a good friend of your father."
"Both of them." Remus was confused.
"Both?" Harry smiled and laughed.
"My adoptive father,Sirius, and my real father."
"what about your mother, Harry?" Harry's mood seemed to sadden.
"I don't remember her well" he responded Remus moved his chair from opposite to next to Harry and parted his back reassuringly.
"She loved you, Harry." The teen nodded.

"I've been told."

Harry, Arthur and Remus where working behind the counter when the door chimed.
"Welcome to Café Romance, sir. How many I serve y- oh hi Molly!" Arthur smiled, giving his wife a small kiss on the cheek. Harry and Arthur started chatting and continuing to serve the customers' their orders whilst Remus smiled at the Ginger woman before him.
"Miss me, moony?" Molly asked, smiling.
"Yea.. I guess you could say that. I mean, it was been almost twelve years." She smiled fondly and gave her best friend the biggest hug he'd ever received.
"Oh, and I have someone for you." Remus nodded and followed Molly outside the shop, eyes closed with Molly leading him.

When they arrived at wherever Molly wanted them to go, he was told by a different voice to open his eyes. His eyelids slowly slid open, revealing a man. A very good looking man leaning against a motorcycle, clad in leather and his deep brown hair tied up in a well executed bun.

Sirius.

Remus stared before slowly turning around and walking out.
"No, I'm done. I'm not doing this! Go away!" Molly was laughing her butt off behind him whilst Sirius crushed his cigarette with his boot heel and ran after the retreating figure of his twelve year love interest. When he finally caught up with Remus, he grabbed his shoulders and spun him around, pulling him closer to his body.
"Never leave my side again, Moony. Ever!" Remus smiled and hugged back,
"I wouldn't dream of it, Padfoot."

Sirius pulled from the hug and immediately crushed his lips against Remus's slightly cracked and scarred pair. The taller male was shocked, his eyes wide and arms hanging uselessly at his sides as Sirius's hands held the side of his face and buried themselves deep into his greying tawny hair. He finally gave in with a roll of his eyes and a small smirk as he pulled Sirius's thin hips closer. Remus darted his tongue out to ask for entry, which was hurriedly accepted. Their tongues fighting for control as they snogged in the car park. That's when Remus felt something cold and metallic against his lips and tongue. A tongue piercing?
"You... you have a tongue piercing?" Remus gasped, smiling as Sirius kissed his cheek.
"Always had one."
"Took you long enough to realise your feelings for me, huh moony?" Sirius mumbled, smiling widely as his blush didn't fade once.
"Well, I'm a bit slow on the uptake."

"I love you, Moony"

"Whenever you watch me, I lose my focus and can't concentrate on anything but you."
