Curiosity

Sirius Black X Reader, Platonic!Remus Lupin X Reader

Summary: When a new piercing and some good-natured curiosity forces Sirius to confront his feelings.

A/N: This isn’t exactly where I saw this piece going, but I rather like how it turned out anyway so I hope you do too.

It was just after Christmas break, sixth year, that you found yourself sitting at breakfast in the Great Hall with your best mates - The Marauders. Lily, Marlene, and Mary were there as well. Remus sat across from you with the girls beside him, and you sat with James, Sirius, and Peter beside you.

Remus and you were very close. Always had been. You trusted each other implicitly. Most of Hogwarts was convinced that you were dating given that you were always together - whispering and giggling and cuddling into each other.

In actuality, Remus had a long standing crush on a very sweet, very cute Hufflepuff by the name of Benji Fenwick. And you, well you were in love with none other than Sirius Black. A fact you’d only ever told Remus. Which is how you found yourself in your current predicament: being teased mercilessly about your infatuation, over breakfast, in front of everyone.

Not that anyone knew that that was what was happening. You and Remus had inadvertently developed a type of shorthand coded way of speaking over the years that no one had ever been able to decipher. Most people just ignored it at this point.

Today, however, you grew weary of the conversation when Lily suddenly turned curious eyes on you and Remus. She may not know exactly what was being said, but you figured she was smart enough to get the gist of it if she watched and listened close enough. And that just would not do, so as soon as Remus paused his teasing to sip at his coffee you stuck your tongue out at him.

Remus promptly choked on his drink.

“Y’all right there, mate?” James inquired as Lily worriedly thumped Remus on the back.

“Yea, yea.” He wheezed out in reply. You couldn’t help but smirk at the fact that his gaze had not left your mouth. “Do it again.” Remus demanded firmly and everyone frowned, not understanding.

“Nah. Gotta get to class.” You shrugged and stood. Still smirking as you twisted your tongue in your mouth - still not entirely used to the metal rod stuck through it.

“What the hell is happening?” Peter questioned aloud. A quiet chorus of I don’t know’s answered him as Remus scrambled to collect his belonging and race after you.

Classes dragged that day, but you had a new way to entertain yourself. Remus was almost constantly watching you, hoping to catch a glimpse of that dark grey steel spike in your mouth. Which you provided, so long as no one else was watching. Remus wasn’t entirely sure why he was so drawn in by your new piercing - he didn’t think they were really his thing - but he couldn’t make himself focus on anything else.

Your friends were losing it trying to understand what had happened to the two of you. You were known to be touchy and cute, and sometimes you hit on each other jokingly, but this - the smirking, the blushing, the staring - this was outright flirting. Like I’m gonna grip you by the tie, drag you into the nearest broom closet, and snog your face off flirting.

Sirius hated it.

Why were you smirking at Remus like that? What was Remus staring at you so much? Yesterday everything was fine and now today everything is - is - very much not fine.

Of course, if you asked, Sirius could not tell you why it wasn’t fine. No, sir, he could not.

The tension eased up after classes ended when you parted from the group because you’d promised the Prewett twins that you’d sneak into Hogsmeade with them. After handing off your bag and robes to Marlene, you sprinted down the stairs - hoping to reach the One-Eyed Witch passageway on the third floor before the twins so that you could scare them or set a trap.

It was during the long hours of your absence that Remus and Sirius finally understood.

James had dragged Sirius over to watch as he tried - and failed - to beat Peter at Wizard’s Chess, but Sirius was barely paying them any mind. He sat back with his feet on the edge of the table and watched the portrait hole instead. He hoped that you would walk through, alone, so he could finally talk to you like the pair of you usually did before dinner.

It was Sirius’ favorite part of the day.

Maybe he’d lead you to the fireplace and you could play a game of Exploding Snaps together. Sirius knew that was your favorite. Maybe he’d drag you over the the table James had claimed for them, pull you down into his lap and ask you quietly about what you’d done in Hogsmeade. He’d hold you firmly to his chest, one hand on your waist and the other on your thigh, and maybe you’d even blush at his affection - though that was a rare sight. Maybe, just maybe, he’d figure out why Remus had been so fascinated with your mouth at breakfast. Maybe he’d learn the answer by pressing his lips to yours, by sliding his tongue -

Wait, what?!

Sirius’ feet slipped and his chair banged forward so all legs were back on the floor. The force of it nearly sent him face-first into the table. As it was, his hands hit the edge so hard that half of the chess pieces in James’ and Peter’s game topped over - making boys both turn to glare at him. Sirius didn’t notice though because he was too busy hyperventilating.

Godric, he was such an idiot! He cursed himself aggressively. It made too much sense now.

Now only one question remained: what was he supposed to do about this?

Meanwhile in the library, Remus was also thinking about you. Or rather, your tongue piercing. He couldn’t quite grasp why it was holding his attention so thoroughly; didn’t understand why his mouth tingled or why blood rushed to his cheeks whenever he saw it.

It was driving him mad, to say the least. He’d lost 10 point in Transfiguration for not paying attention, despite being in the library with Lily - he’d not even started on his homework, and to top it all off he’d accidentally brushed Benji off during lunch when he came over to ask about an assignment for Charms.

His crush, for Godric’s sake! He’d ignored his crush! Sweet Benji with the curly brown hair and vibrant blue eyes. Who always spoke so softly but with a voice full of excitement and passion. Benji, who Remus suddenly found himself wishing hand a tongue ring just so he’d have an excuse to snog his face off.

‘M just curious, he’d say. With a little luck, they’d both enjoy it enough to continue -

Oh.

Oh!

That’s it! How could he be so thick as to not see! It made sense, Remus supposed. He’d always been terribly curious about these things - and most other things.

Now, he just had to ask.

Unfortunately, both boys decided that the perfect time to talk to you would be right before dinner. Waiting for you just outside the entrance to the Great Hall seemed like a good plan.

Well, it did. Until they arrived and discovered that the other was also there for you.

It was a tense few minutes of silence, as Remus couldn’t help but be smug about Sirius’ obvious annoyance with him. Perhaps the git was finally owning up to his own emotions, Remus thought. Of course, the smug smile Remus wore only served to irritate Sirius further.

Eventually you came bounding down the steps towards them. Your tie hung loose and crooked around your neck and you had a sugar quill caught between your teeth at you smiled at them. Sirius’ heart sped up and he realized that this wasn’t the first time. His feelings for you had been changing for a while now and he hadn’t even properly noticed until today.

What a git.

“Hey boys! What’s up?”

“Can we talk?” They spoke in unison. You grinned.

Assuming that whatever this was about involved all three of you, you grabbed one of each of their hands and dragged them down the corridor. Remus didn’t mind - thought that this might even push Sirius over the edge and straight into a confession - Sirius though, he was a bit disappointed. A little ways down from the Great Hall was a smaller, less used staircase. You stopped there and leant against the railing.

“So what’s up?” You only took the sugar quill out of your mouth long enough to speak before quickly replacing it.

You and Remus both turned his way instinctively, but Sirius was finding it difficult to gather his thought now that you were in front of him. Remus being there as well only made it worse.

“I have a favor to ask.” Remus prompted after it became clear that Sirius wasn’t going to speak.

“M’ay.” You mumbled around your sweet.

“Can I kiss you?”

You grinned, a bit of a smirk tugging at the corners, and Sirius’ brain stuttered. He sucked in a breath, hard, and choked. He bent forward, a hand on his knee for support and another pressed into his chest. His brain was so clouded with panic he didn’t even register Remus laughing or the sound of your voice.

A soft set of hands gripped his forearms and brought him up. Your face floated in front his for only a moment before his brain cut out again. This time, the cause was you pressing your lips to his. Sirius’ body reacted immediately - he leant into the kiss and wrapped his arms around your waist - but his mind was still just a riot of static and color.

Sirius gasped a little as you slid your hand into his hair and used it the pull him closer. When the tip of his tongue met cool metal, he was gone. He moaned into your mouth and crushed you to his chest.

“Oi! None of that! This is a hallway!” Remus yelled, still laughing. You and Sirius pulled apart slightly. Sirius stared, wide eyed, as you smiled up at him.

“I’ve wanted to do that for so long now.” Your voice was soft, but the words clanged through Sirius as if you’d yelled them. A smile spread across his face as he his brain finally caught up. You had kissed him.

You had kissed him! You liked him!

Sirius wanted to jump and shout, he was so happy. Leaning down, he showered your face with kisses while you giggled and pushed weakly at his chest.

“Me too.” Sirius whispered.

“All right, all right. You cute little fucks. It’s my turn.” You laughed, full and loud, as Remus pulled you out of Sirius’ grasp and into his chest.

“Turn?” You mocked in fake outrage. One hand slid between your shoulder blades as Remus leaned down to kiss you. His other arm was stretched out almost comically as he held your sticky sugar quill aloft to prevent it from getting stuck to either of you.

Sirius was stunned for a moment by his friends’ bold actions. Then he thought that if Remus kept on kissing you like that, he’d have to hit him. But the anger that usually accompanied thoughts such as those just wasn’t there. You and Remus were friends, nothing more. Sirius’ smile widened a bit as he thought about how - if he were in Remus’ shoes - it would have taken Sirius much less time to ask for a kiss after seeing that tongue ring.

You laughed some more as Remus released you, his brows pulled down in confusion and thought.

“Well?” You prompted.

“Weird.” Remus replied flatly, making you laugh harder - that’s about what you’d expected him to say.

“You’re insane.” The words were out before he could think to stop them. A flush spread up his neck and ears as you and Remus turned toward him. Remus was smirking and you were smiling, your face a bit flushed as well.

Your eyes lit up in just the way Sirius always loved as you turned to Remus, your smile morphing into a smirk.

“Guess it’s a good thing ‘sweet Benji’ doesn’t have his tongue pierced then, huh?” Remus’ groan let Sirius know just how much you’d teased him about his - now - obvious crush on the Hufflepuff boy and he smirked right along with you.

“Piss off.” Remus muttered before sliding a hand through his hair. “Nah, have you met Benji? Given the opportunity, I’d snog the life out of him either way.”

You and Sirius chuckled at Remus’ attempt at covering up his embarrassment but were soon cut off by a loud crash. You all turned towards the sound. At the top of the staircase stood Emmaline Vance and Benji Fenwick. Emmaline was holding in a laugh, her hand over her mouth, while Benji’s jaw hung slack as he stared at Remus. His face was flushed bright red and the books he’d been carrying were scattered around his feet.

You and Sirius glanced at each other before looking up at Emmaline, the three of you coming to a silent agreement. Emmaline quickly collected Benji’s books and then began hauling him down the steps by his elbow. Remus looked ready to bolt from the anxiety and embarrassment, so you stepped around him and gave him a little shove. The two flustered boys collided slightly at the bottom of the stairs.

Sirius gripped your hand and pulled you down the corridor - away from the Great Hall. As Emmaline passed you going the other way, you fist-bumped her and offered a quick wink. She giggled in response as the three of you hurried away.

You ran with Sirius until he finally stopped and pulled you into an empty classroom near the kitchens. As the door closed, he spun and walked you back until you were pressed between his body and the door. His hands moved from your waist to your face as he tilted his forehead down to rest against yours. You smiled at the sweet gesture. Sliding your hands up his neck, you pulled him down into a gentle kiss. He murmured against your lips, but you couldn’t make out the words.

You sighed happily against his mouth just before he pulled away. With a few soft swishes of his wand, the tables and chairs stacked themselves against the walls and a small bonfire appeared in the center of the room - a large dish full of food and drinks beside it. He led you over before sitting and pulling you down into his lap.

“Wanna talk, love?” He leaned his forehead into the hollow of your neck. “I missed you earlier.”

Your chest swelled with warmth. Godric, how you adored this boy. You set your chin down on the crown of his head and tightened your grip around his shoulders.

“I’d love that.”
