Rating: General

Summary: Sirius shares his sandwich.

Notes: first line from Mousapelli

Date: October 7, 2004

Sirius was sitting in the kitchen when Remus nearly fell in the door, exhausted from whatever fool mission Dumbledore had sent him on this time.

“You look like shite,” he said, in between bites of his sandwich.

“Thanks ever so,” Remus answered with a tight smile.

“Well, we did agree to be honest, Remus. No more lies between us. Isn’t that what you said to me?”

Remus slumped into the chair across from him and laid his head down on crossed arms, eyes closed.

He laughed. “I suppose I did.”

Sirius picked at the crusts of his sandwich in annoyance. “Your own damn fault then.”

“You’re testy.”

“You try staying locked up in this house--" He stopped. He didn’t get to see Remus that much, even though Remus was living here with him. He didn’t want to ruin the little time they did have with fighting. At least not this kind of fighting. It reminded him too much of the last days of the last war, when he’d suspected Remus, and Remus’s hostile silences had seemed like confirmation.

Remus yawned and blinked owlishly at him, still head down on the table.

“Here,” he said abruptly, pushing the plate with his half-eaten sandwich on it across the wooden surface. “Eat something.”

“Isn’t that yours?”

Sirius rose and shrugged. “I’ll make more. Tea?”

Remus rolled his shoulders and groaned before answering, “Tea would be heavenly.”

On his way to the counter, Sirius stopped and put his hands on Remus’s shoulders, feeling the tension in them. He squeezed lightly, fingers slipping beneath Remus’s jumper to brush over his too-prominent collarbones. He smiled when Remus shivered in response, and pressed a quick kiss to the nape of his neck.

“I missed you,” Remus said, almost too softly to hear, and Sirius smiled.
