"would you like to get married someday?" remus asked, half of his body bent outside the window, taking a long drag of his cigarette. "you know we can't do that legally, but something being illegal has never stopped us, or you, for that matter."
sirius grinned. "if you want that. that does come with sacrifices, though. i can almost imagine james crying through our vows."
remus laughed, rich and warm like honey. "oh, my mum will be all the same. she'll be dabbing her eyes the whole time, and so will euphemia. they're going to be clinging to each other and sobbing their poor hearts out."
sirius chuckled. "marlene will get drunk."
"absolutely! so will we, in fact, they say that getting married on the wedding night is good luck. ("who says that?" "i do. i made it up right now." "you're a right tosser, did you know that?" "but you love me.") where will the honeymoon be?"
"wherever you want it to be. we can try grimmauld place." sirius winked. "i heard they've got a really nice woman around there, walburga, ever heard of her?"
they sat in silence for a while, until remus put his cigarette between sirius' lips, who smiled gratefully, his lips curling around the cylinder.
"can i tell you a secret?" sirius asked, lit up by the moon, playing strange twinkles, white in grey, in his eyes.
remus nodded; he liked holding sirius' secrets. tucked in his pocket, deep within his heart, they were only theirs to share. whispered in the dead of the night over smoking and stubbed cigarette butts, limbs tangled and their room cold (they still hadn't gotten around to fixing the strange heating that their block of flats offered), but their hearts warm.
"i don't like weddings. i never have. too many commitments. i'd like to be as we are right now, darling." the words fell off sirius' lips so easily. "maybe move out of this shitty apartment and get a house on the seashore. or a cabin in the woods. we could have chicken and goats and sheep if you want to. or we can stay here, in this shitty apartment with a leaky tap and no shower curtains and a minuscule balcony. it won't matter for me, as long as it's with you."
"and it won't matter for me either, because i love you, darling."
