    Summary

    “Sirius,” Remus said.

    That was the only warning.

    He said it softly, like a statement, almost casually– so casually that Sirius turned expecting him to ask something about what they were having for dinner, or telling him he wanted honey in his tea, or complain about how off brand sports-drink didn’t taste as good as Gatorade.

    Instead, Remus’ knees were already buckling. His arm was sliding off of the granite corner of the countertop, and his shoulder was colliding with the barstool to his right, and his body was thudding against the hardwood, and the only warning Sirius got was his name. That was it.

    He was moving before he even realized what was happening.

    Summary

    “Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked.

    “Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head.

    “The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated.

    “S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.

    “Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that.

    Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?

    Summary

    Sirius drops the bags unceremoniously, letting them crash on the floor. Eyes still on Remus. “‘I can’t do this, I’m sorry’?”

    Remus winces. Sirius is referencing the last words he gave him. Written on a post-it note, left on Sirius’s counter on a random Tuesday morning three years ago.

    He clears his throat. “I thought you worked in a pub,” is the only response he can come up with right now.

    Summary

    “I don’t get it,” Sirius says truthfully. “Remus is such a nice person, why does everyone pretend like he’s some kind of wicked stepmother?”

    James laughs joyfully and winks at Sirius. “Are we even talking about the same person?” He holds out his hand above his head. “Big guy, about this tall, curly hair? Temper like a sleeping dragon? Smart, but a bit full of himself? Can kill you with his eyes?”

    Sirius raises his eyebrows and laughs as well. “No, I don’t think we are talking about the same person at all.”
