The wedding was to be small and quite private in the middle of all the fighting. Of course, the Marauders were certainly not a part of the fight, but some of their guests were, so the entire celebration was kept under a Fidelius Charm with Sirius as the Secret-Keeper. Remus thought he was quite unbearable after James had made him Secret-Keeper; he had never heard so much boasting. “Not you, Moony! ME!” he would exclaim proudly, and Remus would give his arse a swat.
“I really couldn’t care less, Pads,” Remus claimed, as he straightened his tie for the final time in the bathroom mirror at the church. Sirius was dancing about behind him with astonishing energy for a man who had been so smashed the night before at the bachelor’s party. Remus had chosen to be the designated driver, considering that Sirius had insisted on riding the motorcycle, thus he had secretly fallen in love with driving the thing. It was a new sense of freedom he had never experienced before. “What I do care about, however, is how we’re going to tell James and Lils we’re back together at the party afterward, because I intend on dancing with you.”
Somehow, they had made it thus far without telling anyone that they were back together. Remus could hear Lily fussing already and he was not too keen on it happening at the wedding, but he knew that he was going to get very, very drunk afterward and he and Sirius together in a drunken stupor would likely result in shed tuxedos by the end of the night.
Sirius snorted and shook his head. “Not a big deal, my sweet, worrisome friend. I should think they will be quite happy for us…” He grabbed Remus and flipped him around, pressing him back against the sink and swiping his tongue across his lips. He thought Remus would protest for a moment, but then he was melting against him and his arms were sliding around his neck, and Sirius was sure that he had never been so horny in his life. “It’s really too bad it’s not our wedding, though.”
“Don’t be stupid,” Remus snorted, and he gave Sirius a rather unceremonious shove back. “Get off me. I wouldn’t marry you for a thousand Galleons. You’re much too ugly.” He grinned as Sirius made a face at him and turned back around to finish fixing his appearance in the mirror. When Sirius advanced on him, he poked his tongue out at him in the mirror. “I meant it!”
James came in to see them tussling playfully and cocked an eyebrow. “If you’re quite finished, it’s time.” He looked distinctly nervous, and Sirius clambered away from a very offended looking Remus to seize his best mate about the neck.
“Give us a smile, Prongs. You’re getting married!” he said, and the ill-looking flush on James’s cheeks made both Moony and Padfoot give identical howls of laughter. Together, the three of them proceeded to the wedding.
Remus was stunned by the entire ceremony-to think that he would never go through it struck him a little hard, however, and when the reception came, he hit the drinks. Sirius could tell he was upset, so he knocked the drink from his hand and pulled him out to the dance floor. “What’s wrong, love?” Sirius asked quietly as James and Lily danced beside them. Sirius winked at them, and Lily reached out to touch Remus’s hair.
Remus looked at her and grinned, leaning over to give her the traditional kiss before he playfully gave James a messy one on the cheek. “Congratulations,” he said quietly before Sirius stole him away across the floor again and kissed his ear. “Sirius!” It was a loud yelp, and he looked indignant for a moment before he grinned and wrapped his arms around Sirius’s neck. “It’s nothing of consequence, Sirius.”
Sirius smiled and nodded before he looked over to James and Lily again. They were watching the two men, a grin on Lily’s face and a bit of an exasperated expression on James’s. “I love you,” Sirius murmured against Remus’s ear, and when Remus pulled back to reply, Sirius kissed him there in front of everyone.
Later, when Sirius was dancing with James and Remus had paired off with Lily, Lily smiled sweetly at Remus and kissed his cheek. “I’m very glad for the two of you. Sirius loves you more than anything, you know.” Remus cast a look over to Sirius, who was swooning in James’s arms, and he flushed just a little. “Even if he is a prat…”
Remus grinned and nodded at her. “He is a prat. A terrible one. Maybe someday you can dance with me at my wedding…” His voice was soft, and Lily looked sad for a moment before she kissed him on the cheek. “Don’t give me that sad look, Lils…”
“You two deserve a day like this…” Remus looked over her, admiring her in that long, beautiful white dress. He had never seen James so immaculately perfect, either. Would Sirius take a wedding as seriously as this? He blinked as he was suddenly shoved into Sirius’s arms again, and he laughed as Sirius whirled him around gracefully.
Sirius beamed at him and kissed him deeply on the lips before he pulled him off the floor and over to a table, getting them both a drink before he came back over and ran his fingers through Remus’s hair. “Lily Potter…Sounds funny, doesn’t it?” Remus asked as he leaned against that hand and hummed quietly.
“Yes, but not nearly as strange as it would sound if we changed one of our names. Sirius Lupin-what is that? Or Remus Black…Ridiculous.” He blinked as Remus blushed, and he grinned almost comically before he leaned in and kissed the corner of his mouth. “I’d marry you…’F I could, that is.”
Remus closed his eyes and leaned into Sirius’s shoulder. “I’d marry you, too. Even if you are barmy.”
