Sirius uttering his longest sentence yet, Remus couldn’t help but meet his eye with a smile, happily to encourage the tease. It was a glimmer of familiarity between a situation that wasn’t, a brief moment where Sirius allowed himself to talk to Remus like he usually did. It made a thrill run down Remus’ neck, unsure why he hadn’t realized just how good that was.<br/>“Go ahead,” Remus met the tease with the pull of a grin, if nothing else then always keen to show academic prowess. He even felt tempted to say that Sirius must have known that when saying it, too, even though he seemed flustered by his own boldness.<br/>His hand slipping from Sirius’ thigh to his hip, Remus braced himself against him enough to lean another bit forward.<br/>“I plan on paying attention,” he promised, his eyes bright and his smile boyish, only moments before pressing that same sentiment into the curve of Sirius’ jaw in the shape of a kiss.
