Description: Remus and Sirius are playing video games. Remus, who is normally quiet and refined, is shouting and yelling. Sirius is a little scared, but also impressed. Time line will be goofy, just deal with it :) (We'll say it's a modern magic au)

Story:

"Rey. Remus. Reeeeemus. Hey!" Sirius said, poking Remus. 

Remus groaned and looked up from his book. "What Sirius?"

"I got this new muggle game console, a PS3PO? Do you wanna play?"

Remus rolled his eyes with a fond smile. "You're mixing in a little Star Wars," he said, putting down his book finally. "Fine, I guess I will."

Sirius cheered, running down the hall to the TV room and plunking down in his seat. He'd been practicing Mario Kart all day and he was confident in his abilities to beat Moony. 

Remus sat down beside him, grabbing the other controller. He looked at it funny, turning it around. "What do all'a these do?" He muttered. 

"I dunno," Sirius lied with a grin, flipping through the game options on the telly to get to the race he had mastered already. 

"Okay, okay, so I'm gonna be Mario, cuz Mario's the coolest racer there is, see. You can pick somebody else, whoever you wanna, I don't care," Sirius explained, picking his character and designing his race kart. 

Remus had his tongue sticking out the side of his mouth as he concentrated on coordinating all the different buttons. He picked Princess Daisy on accident, but Sirius didn't believe him. He quickly clicked through kart options and was soon ready to play.

Sirius felt giddy as the timer went down. As soon as his wheels were able to gain traction, he was off, leaving Remus, or Princess Daisy, in the dust. 

"What the fucking shit dick, mother--How do I start? What--GO!" Remus screamed, pressing all the buttons until he started driving. 

Sirius had jumped at the outburst, but now he was cackling as the rush of the race set in. 

Remus sat up, quickly pulling his legs under him so he had a higher vantage point and leaned into it, clicking away. His tongue was still out the side of his mouth and Sirius got distracted at how bloody adorable he was. 

"Shit," he muttered as his kart swerved off the road. He over corrected and swerved a bit and then was on his way. But Remus was on his radar now.

"HA!" Remus shouted, shoulder checking Sirius. "Take that you son of a bitch! I'll catch you!"

Sirius's eyes widened and he focused all the harder on staying in the lead. He couldn't bother to be offended by what Remus had said. It was true, after all.

Remus ended up winning that one, screaming about his victory and dancing around the room. Sirius practically had hearts in his eyes as he laughed.

The boys played for hours, intense competition between the two of them. Remus cussed like a sailor the whole time. Sirius was nothing less of impressed, he only got that way after some fire whiskey back in school when they'd spend the night planning pranks and complaining about Filch.

When they'd played their last game and turned off the TV, it was like a switch had been turned. Remus sighed sleepily and cuddled up next to Sirius on the couch. Sirius giggled and brushed Remus's hair out of his face and pressed a kiss to his forehead. 

"That was fun," Remus said, "we should do that again sometime."

Sirius smiled, feeling like all was right in the world. "Yeah. Yeah we should."
