POV: On your 16th Birthday, your soulmate's wand will appear on your forearm, like a tattoo.
Remus woke on his 16th birthday filled with excitement, yet he was slightly nervous.
"Happy Birthday, Rem" Said a sleepy Sirius from the next bed.
"Yeah, 16th, isn't it?" James yawned from the bed on Sirius's other side.
"Moony! It's your 16th! Your Soulmate year!" Peter squeaked from the other side of the room.
That woke the other two up.
"Oh yeah! Go on, have a look!"
"Who do you think it'll be, Moony?"
Remus wasn't sure. He kind of Hoped it would be Sirius but- who was he kidding, it wouldn't be Sirius.
"Ok, Ok, looking in 3,2,1!"
It was a wand with runic symbols at the base, and odd target-looking circles near the tip.
He recognised it, but didn't know whose it was.
"It looks kind of familiar, but I don't know whose it is."
"Well go on, show us."
Remus looked at them.
"Kind of personal, I think I'll keep it to myself."
James Pouted at him.
"I showed you mine!"
"Yes, you showed everyone yours, simply because you're so much of a stalker that you recognised it as Lily's instantly."
Sirius laughed. A beautiful laugh. One that made Remus smile.

"Remus! Who is it?"
Remus turned around to see a redhead hurtling towards him.
"That's just the thing Lily, I know but I don't know!"
"Let me see it"
Lily had always been more observant than Remus, she would probably recognise it. It seemed she did, because her eyes went wide and she looked up at Remus.
"I- I can't believe it-"
"What? Who's is it?"
"I- Wow- That's- I ship. And you gotta figure it out. Now c'mon, we're gonna be late for McGonagall's."

"Mister Black! Stop messing around in my lesson!"
"Sorry, Minnie. I just couldn't resist" Sirius replied with a smirk.
"Oh, really? Then perhaps you would like to perform the spell for the entire class."
Sirius smirked and stood up. He pointed his wand at the owl and turned it into a teacup flawlessly. Everybody clapped him as he bowed, except two people. Lily, who was smirking at Remus, and Remus himself, who had gone wide-eyed. It was Sirius' wand.

"Prongs, can we talk?"
James looked up from playing with his snitch.
"Um... sure, why?"
"Just- Just come."
"Ok..."
Sirius and Peter looked over at them.
"What's wrong, Moony?"
"Um- Nothing, I- Bye"
He rushed out of the room, dragging a very confused James behind him.
***
Remus said nothing, just took James somewhere that they couldn't be interrupted, and lifted his sleeve to show him that Sirius was his soulmate.
"Oh, so that's why you didn't show us."
James seemed mildly surprised.
"James, I- What do I do, do I tell him?"
"Of course. It's either that or waiting for him to find out on his own."
"How would he find out? You won't tell him, will you? Oh, he's going to hate me!"
"Mate, he's going to find out on his 16th, isn't he? Damn, I didn't know you got this nervous about him. But you two are cute together. Trust me, he won't hate you."
Remus felt a lot better after that.
***
It was a few weeks later, and Remus awoke to shouts of
"HAPPY 16th PADFOOT!!!!"
And he was soon fully awake.
"Who's your soulmate, mate?"
Sirius looked at his forearm and smirked.
"Just who I wanted."
He smiled over at Remus, who was sure that somehow he had swallowed live butterflies. Of course, James knew and looked back and forth between them quietly chanting "Ship, ship, ship!" and smirking. Peter, however, was extremely confused.
"So, who is it then?"
"Wormtail, its me."
Remus finally smiled back at Sirius, who got up, went over to Remus, and placed a delicate kiss on his lips.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! MY BEST FRIENDS ARE GAY FOR EACHOTHER!!!!!"
"Shut it James."
