Sirius was already half asleep when the door of their flat opened and closed again a few seconds later. He sat up and expected Remus to come into the bedroom, worn out from his mission, but nothing happened. Not a single sound.

A frown on his face, Sirius grabbed his wand and lit the tip before ambling toward the living room. "Moony? Where are you?" From the dark he heard a soft grunt. "Moons?"

"Light out." This time Sirius saw him. Remus was lying on the sofa, fully dressed, even with his shoes and jacket on. "What are you doing? Come to bed, you big idiot", Sirius murmured, crouching down beside his boyfriend.

"Too far." "Then at least take your shoes off." Remus attempted to kick his doc Martens off but quickly gave up and sank back onto the pollsters. "You know, this isn't good for your back." Remus grunted; Sirius sighed, then proceeded to untie the shoes and put them in their corner.

"Jus' lemme fuckin sleep." He always was grumpy when he was sleepy, but this was a new level. "Trust me, I'd love to be asleep right now as well, but I'm not just leaving you here." "Wanker." "Only because you weren't here tonight, now lift your arm, so I can get that jacket off." For a few seconds Remus didn't move and Sirius thought he'd have to use force, but eventually, Remus cooperated and lifted his right arm, then the left one.

"Wonderful. Now budge up." Remus lazily lifted his middle finger in his direction, before moving toward the far end of the sofa, making just enough space for Sirius to cuddle up next to him.

A while they just lay there quietly, before Remus snuggled up to Sirius. "Love you, asshole." Sirius smiled and softly kissed his forehead. "Love you too, Moony."
