Fic Post: Borrowed Sett

Title: Borrowed Sett
Fandom: Harry Potter (holy shit gais)
Rating: PG
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Word Count: 986
Summary: Sirius' grand plans move onto outer wear.
A/N: Written for [livejournal.com profile] marilla82, who stumped me in the Stump the Writer meme and then gave me the randomest prompt ever in 'paper towels.' She knows how long it's been since I've written HP, and she's been trying to poke me back into it for ages. Well you win damnit! You. Win. Expect Regulus soon. :(




Remus’ parents closed the front door behind them on their way out roughly thirteen seconds before Sirius fell out of the Lupin fire place, which turned out to be the biggest stroke of luck Remus had had so far in his young life. Sirius stood, in the dissipating green smoke, proudly with his arms crossed over his naked chest, hips jutting forward. What little he was wearing seemed to consist of a plaid tutu, and the big, black boots he wore when they went out into muggle London. Remus closed his eyes and pretended that his friend wasn’t mentally unstable.

“So whaddya think?” Sirius asked. He tromped through the living room and leaned against the back of the couch, arms still crossed. Remus hazarded opening one eye, but shut it again when he realized it hadn’t been a trick of his imagination. He was an interesting combination of horrified and turned on that he would have liked to study had it been happening in any other place, to any other person. As it was, he just swallowed hard.

When Sirius spoke again, Remus could feel the breath on the back of his neck. All of the hairs the breath touched stood straight up. “Moony, do you have something in your eye?”

“What? Why? Ugh,” was all Remus managed to get out before he stalked upstairs to his bedroom and left Sirius behind.

Remus was lying on his bed and staring at the ceiling when the door to his room opened and Sirius peeked his head around the door, looking as sheepish as his naturally haughty nature would allow him to look. “Er…” he said.

Remus sighed the belabored sigh of someone asked to explain basic arithmancy for the millionth time and rolled over so that he was facing the door. “Sirius, why are you wearing a skirt made of paper towels? And where are the rest of your clothes?”

Sirius’ chest puffed out a little and he scowled. “S’not a skirt! It’s a kilt!”

“Sirius, you’re not Scottish. Your family isn’t Scottish.”

“I go to school in Scotland, doesn’t that count?”

“Not particularly. Besides, you can’t have a sett if you’re French. Where did you even get that design?”

Sirius blushed and closed the door softly behind him. He crossed the room and sat on the bed next to Remus’ thigh and placed a hand on it lightly. “It’s um, it’s your mums family sett.”

Remus stared at Sirius for a moment not sure which question to ask first. He finally settled for, “Where did you learn that?”

“Library,” Sirius said, as if there couldn’t possibly be any other answer.

Remus thought about this for a moment and then moved on to the next question that was niggling at his brain. “Why paper towels, and where did you get them?”

“Oh, saw some bird in a paper dress in London, thought it was brilliant! And em..” he cast his eyes down and studied the carpet. “I nipped them from here.”

Remus nodded, as if this was a perfectly normal explanation. Though, when you were dealing with Sirius Black, that was about as normal as it got. “So, you created a kilt of paper towels of no doubt dubious origin, and you flooed to my house wearing it and little else. At what point did your brain say ‘this is a sound idea, Sirius Black, you are certainly a god among men’ and give in to this madness?”

“I think,” said Sirius slowly, as he licked his lips, “that it was about the time it was doing something like this.” Sirius leaned into Remus, using the hand on Remus’ thigh for balance. Remus shifted, so that he could meet Sirius halfway. Because no matter how daft Sirius actually was, there were few things on the planet that were more enjoyable than his lips and tongue.

When Remus shifted though, a whole new series of events developed. The hand Sirius was using for balance slipped off of Remus’ thigh, causing him to fall forward at a faster pace. Because of this, his chin crashed into Remus’ nose. Remus yelped and sat up even quicker, which knocked Sirius off the bed altogether. By the time Remus had collected himself Sirius was on his hands and knees on the floor, and the paper kilt was ripped from his left thigh down to the hem. Remus laughed. He wished he had a camera.

“Bollocks!” cried Sirius. “All that work and now I don’t even have something to floo home in. What if I accidentally end up in Diagon Alley? I can get taken in for indecent exposure!”

“Oh, I don’t know,” Remus chuckled. “It looks pretty decent from over here.” Sirius frowned. “How about this then, I’ll give you a pair of trousers to wear home. They’ll be a little tight, but you like that sort of thing anyway, don’t you. You tart.”

Sirius opened his mouth to deny his tart-hood, when a better idea caught a hold of him. He leaned back onto his heels so that the kilt hung haphazardly off his lap and smiled. “Oh Moony, do you think, I could have the trousers you’re wearing now?”

Remus leaned off the bed and stared directly into his eyes in challenge. “Only if you can take them from me before my parents get back home.”

Sirius’ smile widened. He stood up and took a hold of the paper that clung for dear life around his hips, and ripped it. The paper towel kilt fluttered to the ground. He crawled onto the bed and straddled Remus, fervently working at the button on his trousers. “Don’t you want to do something with that, for posterity?” Remus asked, as he leaned forward and licked the dip in Sirius’ collar bone.

“Oh, I don’t know,” said Sirius lazily, as he pushed Remus’ shirt up his chest. “It will probably come in handy later.”

Hee. Thank you. I love them too. It has been soooo long that I'm not even sure I can write them anymore. But I tried. I'm glad it was cute at least. :p

Oh Sirius, you have such strange ideas, lol.

This was really cute :D

He's a daft fool. It's the reason I fell in love with him in the first place. XD

Thank you!

I think maybe you can figure out that I LOVE it from the giggling, but I still need to tell you: I LOVE IT!

Favorite bit: “So, you created a kilt of paper towels of no doubt dubious origin, and you flooed to my house wearing it and little else. At what point did your brain say ‘this is a sound idea, Sirius Black, you are certainly a god among men’ and give in to this madness?”

Seriously, the banter is lovely! I don't deserve you!

You're probably right, you don't deserve me. But more in this way that people who jay walk don't deserve the death penalty. XD

Reg says that if you'd like to keep that finger, you'll keep it to yourself. He's NOT afraid to relegate you to the corner with Feliks and Roy if you don't behave!

Uuuuuuuungh ♥ So much love for you right now. I mean, Sirius and a KILT? That's like my ultimate fantasy, hehe....

And Remus calling Sirius a tart is the best thing ever.

Yes. Except that it should be a REAL kilt. And Remus is wouldn't have Sirius any other way. ;)

Thanks love!

You don't suppose it occurred to Sirius that a paper kilt might actually *rip* at some point while he was in Remus' presence...?

Sirius is totally demented, the two of them together, are, well Remus & Sirius, and thanks for the fun!

Shhh...you and your logic. *shifty eyes*

Demented is what the pups do best! Where is the art in your icon from? *is nosy*

[identity profile] ekaterin24.livejournal.com 2007-04-05 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
The art for the icon is by [livejournal.com profile] crystal_cow who posted it oh, nearly a year ago to [livejournal.com profile] remusxsirius. I fell in love with it and got permission to make an icon (crediting her). All I did was resize it and add the gold-and-mahogany strips on the side. (Wish I'd remembered the Gryffindor colors were gold and scarlet but it's close enough).
I wish she'd post more of her art, she's wonderful! (Did an awesome dragon on her wall, too).

The best part about this is that everything that happened was described so that I could see it perfectly.
I can just picture the opening sequence.

Overdue library fees for Sirius-
$5
Flowers to apologize for stalking the bird in london-
$20
Remus' face when Sirius appears in a paper kilt and nothing else just as his parents leave-
PRICELESS.
