I love the way you use music in the story, from Sirius's obsession with the Sex Pistols to Remus's very different musical tastes to them listening to Muggle records in the dorm and Remus thinking that's probably when he fell in love with Sirius (that made me swoon). I also really loved this line:
Remus was never very good at hiding things from his mates, if the whole "it's cool you're a werewolf" incident in First year and the well-meaning "it's cool you're a pouf" conversation back in Fifth were any indication.
The aftermath of the fight was great too, especially Peter's repeated "Mmmphs" and the tooth in Sirius's boot—so hilarious—and Remus finding everything exciting and fun in spite of his initial protests. And of course, I love Remus trying to figure out whether or not Sirius is flirting with him, and the kiss, especially your description of it:
It was more like they were brawling with their mouths, desperate and eager and violent press of lips and tongues.
And the conversation afterwards too, with Sirius always having to have the last word (so Sirius), and Remus's response:
"Next time," he tried again, "you want to see the Pistols or the Damned or some other… band, you better make damn sure I'm right beside you."
This was lovely and fun and real and I truly enjoyed reading it.
