That was fabulous and is absolutely going into my memories! You really captured a very difficult moment for them with sweetness and aplomb and still managed to make it feel not clichéd in the slightest. Hurray for you!

Of course, only Remus would say, "“On the whole, I would say that was a success.” LOL. That was perfect.

And I've "rounded forty" and still call it snogging. LOL. That's actually a great word. Snogging.


This paragraph was brilliant:After more than a month of dancing around each other like circling celestial bodies with off kilter orbits, Remus is a bit weary of the tension between them. Sirius had always been the impatient one, the one who wanted it all, and right now with no delay. Now he shies away long before their gentle kisses and soft touches turn urgent. Remus had realized that there was something the matter, but there had been no disclosures. Sirius was never good at hiding secrets from him, but this one he had held close to his chest. Sirius parries, doing verbal leaps and pirouettes to keep Remus at bay; it is the very sort of thing he has never been skilled at - isn’t skilled at, actually, for all that he tries. He drops clues like breadcrumbs in the forest, but until this morning, Remus hadn't been able to figure out where he was being led.
And I love the calm, loving manner in which Remus managed to deal with the situation. It was very fitting and very in character.
