Remus has just woke up from his sleep. It’s his day off and what could possibly he do on this day he has free than reading and enjoying his time alone. He worked as a barista but he detested it so much. He made good money out of it, but it’s not what he wants to do with his life.
He gets up, checks his phone for the time that indicated ‘12:35 pm’. He went to the bathroom, took a shower, brushed his teeth and then he made himself a considerable meal. As he eat, he checked his phone for news, and his phone showed whole-screen a poster of the Marauders that were having a concert in the town that’s a few kilometres from where Remus lived.
He wanted so bad to go but he didn’t think he could. I mean, it was his favourite band after all, the ones and only who occupied a whole wall in Remus’ room, with posters, photos and drawings of them. He loved them especially for his crush, Sirius Black, lead vocal and bassist of the band. He loved him, really much, but he was aware that he’ll never have a chance with him anyway. He loved the other ones too, James and Regulus, the other bassists and sometimes vocal, and Kirann the drummer, but something of Sirius got him lost.
He was snapped out of staring at the handsome man with amazing long black hair and blue-grey eyes that Remus fancied so much, a call from his best friend, Mary, was appearing on his phone and he answered.
“Hey Reeemm” Mary said from the other end enthusiastic that put a smile on Remus’ face.
“Hey Mary, what’s up” Remus asked while eating what’s left of his food, waiting for an answer.
”Well nothing much, just out doing some reports for my story and I thought I’d call you. What are you doing, reading?” Mary said laughing and Remus could see her amused face even if she wasn’t in front of him.
”Not yet, just eating” Remus said and let out a gentle laugh and swallowed the last bit of food “What happened to you, you sound excited” Remus asked curiously.
“Well I am” Mary said and let out a gentle giggle “I got us tickets to Marauders’ concert” she said and she finally let out her entire excitement.
“You’re kidding me Mary!!!” Remus said half-yelling and with a joy in voice that made both of them giggle now.
”I’m very serious! They’re even VIP” she said and Remus remained shocked, covering his mouth.
“Stop Mary, how did you—“ he said but he was cut off by Mary who being to speak proudly.
“I happened to have some friends that owed me one and that’s how we ended up having VIP tickets, that by the way are the only VIP ones” she said and Remus was frozen. He was gonna meet the man he loved. He couldn’t express in words how thankful was for Mary doing this for him.
“Mary.. I couldn’t ever repay you for what you just did for me. Thank you so much” he spoke sincerely.
“I’m doing this because I love you Rem. And because I love the Marauders too and I want to see them too” she said and she giggled “Maybe you got a chance with Sirius that you love so much” she said but Remus just laughed in amusement.
”Yeah I don’t think that’s gonna happen” Remus responded and he heard Mary making “mhmm” noises.
”We’ll see about that” she said and Remus smiled “I gotta go now Rem, see you Sunday. Bye” she replied humbly.
”See you dear” Remus said and he hung up. He left his phone on the tablet and he was squeaking and dancing around.
He spent the whole day listening to Marauders’ songs that he knew by heart, thinking about how he’s gonna meet Sirius, the boy he was crazy about since he first saw him. He forgot about books or anything else and his head was full of Sirius.
—
The other days passed by relatively quicker than Remus expected, and Sunday was here. The day he was going to meet the one and only who he loved wholeheartedly.
He was dressed up in black jeans, tight ones, that made his arse look so damn good, a black shirt that he left three buttons undone so his chest was showing, and his soft blond curls were nice arranged. He put on a pair of black sneakers on and he was waiting for his best friend to show up so they could be on their way to the concert.
Two or three minutes after he pun on the shoes, Mary entered his apartment. She was wearing a tight black dress and a pair of red Converse that were assorted with the red chocker she had around her neck. Her black-silky hair was down, reaching halfway through her back.
“Trying to seduce someone Macdonald?” Remus joked after he hugged his best friend and she hit him in his arm playfully.
“You’re talking Lupin? Look at you all sexy and sensual. Sirius is gonna melt when he sees you” She said with a smirk on her face and Remus smiled and blushed “Now let’s go, lover boy, a concert awaits us” she said and Remus checked the clock.
”It’s still early. And Crawley it’s just some minutes away from here” Remus added but he got a raising of brows from Mary that were followed by a slight smirk.
”Yes but I want to have spot in the front row” Mary said and they both laughed softly and smiled.
“Fair enough” Remus answered, now taking his phone from the table. He dared to reach for his car keys but Mary swong her in front of Remus, letting him take the hint that she’s gonna drive there “Now let’s get going”. He said and Mary gave him a smile.
Remus opened up the door and let Mary exit first like a gentleman he is, and he followed her, closing his door and putting his keys in his pocket, now both of them walking to Mary’s shining black convertible car. They stepped in and they drove through the city where the concert was happening.
Remus was nervous, but he still managed to enjoy the road trip with his best friend. He and Mary sang the songs that were playing on her car, while the wind blew through their hairs as they drove. It was a warm evening of July and they experience no cold. After a twenty-minute drive, Mary parked her car across road to the entrance gate was situated. They stepped out of the car and walked to the gate that was secured by a single guard.
They were the first to arrive and first in line. They were lucky but they had to wait another thirty minutes until they will be able to enter in. In that time, they talked with the man that guarded the entrence. Middle-height muscular man, blond hair and a nice humour. His name was Peter Pettigrew and he seemed nice from what Remus was able to know about him.
“Good guys, now you can enter” he said, now opening the gate “Have fun mates” he said to Remus and Mary that flashed him a smile, now getting in, walking straight to the very front, right next to stage. A perfect view.
The concert was held outdoors but there still was a building that the artists stayed and a high up fence that separated the place from the stage and place where all Marauders’ fans were about to be. They waited another ten minutes to get the place full of people and the Marauders showed up on the stage, and Remus and Mary had quite the perfect view.
First to show up and to wave crazily to the fans and take his place, was Kirann, the drummer, a tall boy with brown hair and a cheeky smile, dressed up in black t-shirt that quoted “God’s Will, Marauders” and blue jeans and black Converse. The other two to follow was James, curly-haired clumsy boy, hazel eyes, tall and muscular, round glasses accompanied by a grin, dressed up in white shirt, unbuttoned just like Remus’, black jeans and black boots, and Regulus (Sirius’ brother) a shorter man than James, long black soft curls , grey glossy eyes and a innocent figure, dressed up in white loosen transparent shirt, black pants and high outsole black sneakers, and both of them bowed and waved to the noisy crowd that Remus and Mary were part of, getting their spots while holding their bass guitars, James on the right side of the stage and Regulus on the left side.
Last to get on the stage was Sirius. Remus felt himself in loss of breathe. His stomach twisted and his heart skipped beats when he saw the handsome tall man, with loosen-up long black locks, grey eyes that were captivating Remus totally and a big grin that was melting him. He was wearing only a leather black jacket and he was bare chested, tight black jeans and motorcycle boots on, getting his spot in the middle of the stage. Remus was mesmerised by him and Mary and the other ones were screaming and cheering for the band.
“Hello hello there” Sirius spoke and Remus could feel his heart making itself small, but he screamed with Mary and the other people in the crowd “Thank you for coming and enjoy your night” he said winking and the other ones laughed softly.
They began to sing and Remus was having the time of his life and so did Mary, both dancing and singing the lyrics of the songs they knew by heart. Remus could swear Sirius looked at their direction a few times and with that thought he was blushing intensely.
“I see you all are having a good time” Sirius said and once again Remus was blushing hardly “We’ve prepared to you a new song” Sirius said his mike before biting his lips and nodding.
“It’s mostly of you, dear brother” Regulus spoke in his mike and he smiled at him.
”Don’t give spoilers brother” Sirius said and all of them laughed and so did Remus, Mary and the crowd.
“I mean his not wrong tho” James added and now all of them were laughing with the crowd more.
Sirius gave a sign and Kirann started playing at the drums, soon followed by Regulus, James and Sirius’ bass guitars that were in sync of a nice melody but soon the music stopped.
”Hold up it’s an anthem” this lyrics flew out of Regulus mouth and getting the attention to all of the crowd.
“Put your fucking hands up” James sang and the crowd followed, and he gave then a satisfied smirk.
”Smiling cuz I'm young, rich, gay, and I'm handsome” Sirius sang and got the prettiest biggest grin on his face, now playing the bass-guitar along side James and Regulus, being accompanied by Kirann’s drums, all three guitarists dancing while playing.
Remus couldn’t hold himself from not screaming when he heard Sirius’ lyrics, and so he did, both him and Mary screamed loudly while dancing and having so much fun.
They played a few songs more but Remus was still thinking about their new one that he absolutely love. Even tho he knew all the other songs they had, that one seemed to beat all of them.
”I won’t mind some interaction with the crowd” he said before drinking some water, having James and Regulus behind him, whispering something between them and giggle “Anything you wanna tell me?” Sirius said and Mary quickly raised her arm up, getting Sirius’ attention towards her and Remus “Yes you, nice lady in the front” he was talking about Mary that flashed him a smile.
”You’re absolutely amazing” she screamed towards him and getting a smile from every one of the band members “And my friend here loves you” she screamed and pointed at Remus who was not covered in shyness and embarrassed buy still he showed a nice position.
”He does hm?” Sirius asked and smirked, waiting for another thing Mary has to say.
“Yes he does, and he especially loves you” she screamed back at Sirius that now was looking at Remus and he was blushing. Oh god he was blushing and so was Remus, both of them staring at each other from distance.
“If he does, come find me after” he said winking at Remus that now was literally melting. Did Sirius Black just told him to meet after?!
”Hell yes he will” Mary scream, flashing their VIP tickets that Sirius smirked at. He returned in his position not before being elbowed by his brother and receiving a wink from James.
The concert kept going for another thirty minutes, and when all of them bowed to the cheering crowd, Remus and Mary were prepared to head to the building the Marauders were getting in after the goodbye. Remus was so nervous while walking with Mary towards the building. I mean, he was going to meet the man he fancied and loved, how was he supposed to be calm?
Mary showed their tickets to the guard that was guarding the entrence of the building, now another guard escorting them to the Marauders’ living-room after being allowed to get inside the building. The guard knocked on the door and heard a ‘come in’ from behind the door before opening it.
As the door swong open, Remus and Mary could see Sirius standing in the middle of the room, in front of the couch Regulus and James were sitting on, and Kirann sitting at the table eating. They entered in, the door closing behind them, leaving them alone with the Marauders’ gaze covering them.
“Hi I’m Mary” she said with attitude, but Remus was frozen when Sirius’ eyes were on him.
“I’m Remus” he said shyly, only to get in return Sirius’ smirk that made his heart go in a crazy way. He changed his gaze off Sirius to James and Regulus on the couch, that were holding hands and Remus enthusiasm “Oh my god, I knew you were together. My ship is real” he said receiving laughs from every one including the blushing Regulus and James who were nodding.
”You’re shipping?” James asked and all of them laughed and Remus nodded excessively. James gave Regulus a kiss on his cheek and Remus squeaked in happiness.
”Who do you ship me with?” Sirius asked and got Remus’ attention upon him. He once again got shy, butterflies roaming through his stomach, his heart flattering. He couldn’t believe he was this close to Sirius.
”You and him” Mary said and Sirius smirked uncontrollably, now Remus was blushing very hard that seemed to make Sirius grin really big.
”Nice performance out there boys” a nice young lady spoke, red hair and a brown dress on, that received smiles from every one, but Mary seemed to not hesitate before approaching her.
“I’m Mary” she said, holding out her hand for the beautiful woman to shake. The other boys were smirking between them.
”I’m Lily” she said, accepting the handshake, now grabbing Mary’s hand, smirking at her, dragging her out of the room. Mary flashed another look at Remus before disappearing out the room.
They all laughed after both girls were out of the room, leaving alone Remus with the members of the band he loved the most. There was another free couch in the room, that Sirius dragged Remus to, now both of them sitting on it together.
”So you love me?” Sirius asked flashing a smile at Remus who was shyly looking at him. Sirius got his eye on Remus, and he did chose the very best outfit for tonight cause Sirius was staring at him entirely.
”Oh—“ Remus said and his cheeks turned red “Well yes you can say so” he added, both of them gently laughing. Sirius was now sitting close to Remus.
“Why so shy?” Sirius asked causing Remus to look down and back up at him, his face literally being so red and Sirius was staring at him.
”I don’t know I’m sorry” Remus responded, letting out a gentle giggle and Sirius heart skipped a beat. He was smiling like a fool and biting his lip.
”Well if you want me to accept your apologies you have to take dinner with me tomorrow night” Sirius said and Remus’ eyes widen, and his cheeks were burning right now.
“Oh my god” Remus said hiding his face in his hands, causing Sirius to have a big smile on his face “Yes I will” he responded and both of them were staring at each other smiling.
They exchanged numbers, and they were having a date tomorrow night.
—————
“Now I like interacting with the crowd” Sirius said while he was resting in the middle of the concert “Go ahead, ask me something” he said looking at the crowd for some raised hand “You dear lady in the front, with purple hair” he said and he giggled.
”Sirius, are the rumours true?” she screamed and Sirius brows were raising intuitively, but behind him James, Regulus and Kirann were exchanging smirks.
”What rumours?” he asked, curiously, looking at the purple-haired girl that was giving him a smile.
”That you are dating a boy you met on your concert in Crawley” she asked and Sirius mouth twitched up in a big smile.
”I don’t know, what do you think?” He said and looked at the side of the stage, in the direction of the stairs, giving a sign for someone to come up.
Remus was getting up on the stairs while being pushed by Mary who was staying next to him with her girlfriend, Lily. He walked up and with a smile on his face, getting into Sirius’ arms that were wrapping around him protectively. Sirius kissed him in front of everyone and Remus was blushing and melting under Sirius’ lips. The crowd was going crazy and you could hear cheerings and screams from all over the place.
“Well if that is what things stay to” James said with a smirk on his face, getting everyone’s attention towards him, he gets his guitar off, walking towards Regulus who was smiling cheeky knowing what’s coming, he kissed Regulus passionately and everyone was making once again loud happy noises and they were cheering. James was now having a arm around Regulus’ waist, who was hugging James from the side, laying his head on his chest, with a big shy smile on his lips. They were both looking at Sirius and Remus who were looking back at them while being side-hugging each other while they finally let the world knew about the big love they got.
