There was something to be said about exercising in a nice neighbourhood. For one thing, the footpaths were clean, and no one jeered at them. Sirius kept the pace gentle and led them into a pristine park. They jogged around an idyllic-looking duck pond, down the length of a kid’s playground that didn’t have a single broken piece of equipment and between rows of the most beautiful flowerbeds Remus had ever seen. He kept almost tripping over his feet; he was turning his head so much to take it all in. His surroundings were so lovely, in fact, that he barely noticed how long they’d been running and was shocked when Sirius started cooling them down as they headed home. 

Remus was puzzled when Sirius led them around the back of the house instead of inside, but then it all became clear as he rounded the corner and was greeted by Sirius’s naked arse as he lifted his arms above his head and performed a perfect swan dive into the inviting pool. 

“Come on, Remus, the water’s perfect!” he called as he rolled onto his back and started doing a length of backstroke. Remus bit down on his lip as he looked around. Sirius’s garden was pretty well shielded from his neighbours, except for James and Peter, as he had now discovered that the trio had opened up their gardens into one huge one. 

“What if anyone sees?” 

“Back door’s open; I’ve left you a pair of trunks on the counter by the washing machine. Get changed and then get in here!” Sirius told him, sending a wave of water in his direction, which he quickly dodged, and he went to get changed. 

He found the trunks, but made a detour upstairs, digging around Sirius’s drawers until he found an old T-shirt. He pulled it on over his head, covering his scars and headed back downstairs. If Sirius was bothered that Remus had borrowed one of his tops, he didn’t say anything about it as Remus lowered himself into the cool water. It was a stark contrast to his still sweaty body, but it felt wonderful. 

He paddled out to where Sirius waited for him, and they started floating side by side, relaxing and enjoying the warmth of the summer’s day. That was until two idiots came barrelling across the grass and cannonballed into the water right beside them.

Remus was rudely awakened by the sudden opening of Sirius’s bedroom curtains. He foolishly opened his eyes, the morning sunlight burning into his retinas. 

“What time is it?” he asked thickly as he fumbled for his phone. He blinked hard a few times, trying to focus his eyes because it couldn’t possibly be 6:30 in the morning!

“Rise and shine, moon bug. We’re going on a run!”

“Not a chance,” Remus grumbled, rolling over and pulling the duvet over his head. 

“Now, now, my little moon pie, what did I say last night?”

“We’re not at the gym. You can boss me around and make me exercise as much as you like there, but outside its perimeter I’m a free man.” 

“What if I make a deal with you? If you come for a run with me now, then when we get back we can go for a swim to cool off, and tonight I’ll show you what else I can do with my fingers?”

“I hate you,” Remus huffed as he threw off the duvet and got out of bed. 

“That’s the spirit!” Sirius crowed after him. “And don’t forget to put sunscreen on! Even this early in the day, the sun’s rays are harsh enough to burn!”

Remus made a mocking mimicry of Sirius as he got ready, but he did put sunscreen on; no way was he getting lobstered with the promise of more fun tonight.

They left the humid bathroom and fell onto Sirius’s beautifully neat bed, reaching for each other and tangling their legs together as they kissed and cuddled. Remus snuggled up against Sirius, needing the closeness after what they’d just done in the shower. Sirius responded by stroking his hair and kissing his forehead while his other arm kept him pressed against him. Remus smiled to himself. He’d told Sirius he loved him, and Sirius had said he loved him back. He honestly had never been happier in his life. 

“You do know this doesn’t mean I’m going to go easy on you at the gym, right?” Sirius chuckled, his hand leaving Remus’s hair and trailing over his forming muscles. 

“What, not even a little bit?” Remus asked, his lips curving upwards even more. 

“Not even a little bit. If I start letting you slack off, then all my good work will be in vain, plus I like bossing you around.”

“I’ve noticed.”

“You love it.”

“I love you,” Remus said quietly, and suddenly all the joking was put aside because Sirius cupped his chin and lifted it until he could easily press a searing kiss to Remus’s lips, claiming him. 

“I love you,” he said before kissing Remus again, his clever tongue easily gaining entry, and Remus forgot about everything else in the world apart from every spot Sirius was touching him. 

They finally settled down, hands mapping out each other’s bodies until they both fell asleep, pressed against each other as close as they could possibly be.

Remus’s chest heaved as he acclimatised to the new sensation. It hadn’t hurt so much as felt a tad bit unusual. He moved his hips against Sirius’s finger, glad that Sirius held completely still while he explored. He finally relaxed, and Sirius took that as his cue to continue.

The hot water felt amazing. Remus could live in Sirius’s shower; the pressure was nothing like the weak trickle his own shower struggled to produce. He was luxuriating in the hot water and the warm, steamy air when something touched his back. He jolted, turning to see what Sirius was doing, but then he saw the shower pouf in his hand covered in foam. Sirius was washing him. Remus turned back around and let him. 

It was like nothing he’d ever felt before. With all the hospital stays he’d had and been unable to get out of bed, he was used to being washed by people, but this was different. This was someone washing him for pure pleasure. He braced his hands against the tiles and bent forward, no longer worried about his nakedness. He trusted Sirius and knew he wouldn’t take it any further than he was comfortable with. 

Sirius washed him all over, his hands snaking around Remus’s body, leaving a trail of suds behind, but he kept missing the two areas Remus wanted him to touch most.

His palms were bone dry as he led Remus into his walk-in shower, his hands pushing under his T-shirt and running all over the newly formed muscles. He couldn’t get enough of touching Remus. He’d be quite happy to just keep his hands right here all night long, but Remus, it seemed, had other ideas. 

His lever fingers had somehow undone Sirius’s jeans without him feeling the movement. They fell in a pool around his ankles, and he stepped out of them as Remus started shoving his T-shirt up his body, revealing the well-toned muscles there. Remus seemed just as obsessed as Sirius was and let his hands linger. It took a lot of willpower, but eventually they were in the shower under the hot water.

“Come on, Shadow!” Sirius repeated over and over again when Shadow the dog didn’t return with Chance and Sassy. 

“Have you not seen this one before?” Remus whispered. 

“Yeah, but…” Sirius said, not taking his eyes off the screen. “SHADOW!!!!” he yelled when the old golden retriever limped into view. It made Remus jump. Sirius turned and grinned at him, his eyes a little hazy with tears. 

“Time for bed?” Remus suggested, and Sirius nodded, turning the TV off and taking Remus by the hand to lead him upstairs. 

The upstairs was just as nicely furnished as the downstairs. More pictures of Sirius, James and Peter hung everywhere. Remus noticed that there were none of Sirius’s actual family. He hadn’t thought much about it before, but began to wonder why Sirius never mentioned them.

He promptly forgot his line of thought as Sirius suddenly pushed him up against what Remus assumed was his bedroom door and kissed him. Remus relaxed into it and kissed him back. He’d thought Sirius had been too upset to want to do anything tonight, but apparently he was wrong.

“Why did we think Marley & Me was a good choice?” Sirius sniffed, wiping his tears from his face. 

“I thought it was a cute puppy story,” Remus replied, and it had been right up until the last part of the film. 

“The dog died, Remus! Why is it that the dog always dies?” Sirius wailed, hiding his face against Remus’s already soggy T-shirt. Honestly, the amount of tears Sirius was losing over the poor dog who hadn’t even really died, though Remus realised was probably now dead in real life, could probably end the drought they were having this summer. 

Remus stretched his arm out and managed to grab the remote, flicking through other options while gently patting Sirius on the head. He landed on Homeward Bound; at least all the animals get home safe in that one. 

Remus extracted himself from Sirius and, after wrapping him in a blanket with the new film on, went to check his cupboards and found what he was looking for: hot chocolate. He made them both a steaming mug of the stuff and went back into the living room, pulling Sirius to him and setting back down to watch the film.

“I’m sorry, what?!” Remus said in disbelief.

“Erm, nothing. Forget it, stupid thing to say. Wasn’t thinking,” Sirius laughed nervously, extracting himself from Remus’s arms and pouring the freshly boiled water into the waiting mugs. 

“Sirius,” Remus said gently. 

“No, seriously, forget I said anything. We should go over to James’s. You can see Lily then, and if we camp out there long enough, he’ll feed us,” Sirius babbled, nodding to himself as he squeezed the teabags against the inside of the mugs before pouring milk in for Remus and leaving his black. Remus rolled his eyes and put a hand over Sirius’s, stilling his frantic stirring that would crack the mug if he continued. 

“Sirius, it’s too soon for that, but I wouldn’t say no to a sleepover.”

Sirius’s face lit up as he turned to face Remus again. 

“Yeah?”

“Yes, of course, though I think we should get a takeaway rather than go over to James’s. I feel the ribbing we’ll get from them isn’t worth it for free food.”

“Deal! Plus, my TV is better than his, so Chinese and a film?”

“Perfect,” Remus smiled, his eyes crinkling and his cheeks reddening as he leaned in and kissed Sirius. He was definitely falling in love with him. He just hoped that Sirius was falling in love with him too, because he wasn’t sure how he’d cope with a broken heart.

The inside of Sirius’s home wasn’t what Remus had imagined at all. The hallway was a warm, welcoming yellow, with small white picture frames encasing dried flowers dotted along the wall. The living room felt warm and cosy, with a crochet blanket over the sofa and both armchairs, stacks of books on the coffee table and a series of pictures of Sirius, James, Peter and who he assumed were Mr and Mrs Potter on the wall above the fireplace; the biggest being one of him, James and Mr and Mrs Potter lazing about on the beach, each with sand mermaid tails and their heads thrown back in laughter. It was beautiful. 

The kitchen was spotless. Obsessively so. It was so clean that Remus could see his reflection in the floor tiles. 

“Tea? Coffee?” Sirius asked, back to wringing his hands. 

“Tea, please,” Remus said, smiling a soft smile at him. Sirius nodded and turned to busy himself at the kettle. 

Remus wandered over to the back door and looked out onto the beautifully manicured garden. 

“You have a pool?!”

“Erm, yeah. It came with the house, though,” Sirius said, sounding a bit self-conscious. 

Remus spun round with his hands on his hips, his eyes narrowed. 

“You had a pool this entire time and kept it from me?”

“Pete’s got a hot tub.”

“Oh, my Gods! And let me guess, James has a fire pit where you roast marshmallows and reminisce about the good old times?”

“Erm, actually, yes.”

Remus started laughing. This was too much. How was he hanging out with people who not only had gardens in London, but ones big enough to house swimming pools?!

“I literally have a washing-up tub that I put cold water in when the flat gets too hot, and I need to soak my feet to cool off,” Remus told him. 

“Well, now you can come over and relax in the pool,” Sirius said hopefully. 

Remus shook his head, rolled his eyes, then moved to Sirius’s side and hugged him tightly.

“I might never leave,” he warned. 

Sirius turned in his arms and tilted his head until he could see directly into Remus’s eyes, his body shaking slightly with nerves. 

“Then don’t.”
