Small gifts due in 12 days!

“What did you get me for my Christmas?” Sirius walks up behind Remus, apparently hoping to catch him unawares as he’s doing the washing up. He's been trying to wheedle this information out of Remus for weeks.

“Sorry, what?” Remus mutters. He turns up the water with a mumbled, wandless spell.

“Christmas, Moony. Noel. Faeries and egg nog and the like. Presents and chocolate,” Sirius says, poking Remus in that ticklish spot on his side. “What did you get me?”

“Water running, can’t hear,” Remus says, waving one sudsy hand frantically. He grins at the suds as he can feel Sirius' pulse start to race.

Out of the corner of his eye, Remus see Sirius step back, hands on his hips.

“You haven’t got me anything yet, have you?”

Remus shuts off the water and loads the last of the dishes into the drying rack with a charm. “There’s loads of time left, Padfoot. Twelve days. Plenty of time. Really. That’s the equivalent of nearly three months in dog years.”

“Moony, you shouldn’t do this to him,” says James.

“It’s really not fair,” Lily says. “Look at him.”

Remus turns to look at Sirius, wiping his wet hands on his apron. He’s leaning against the kitchen counter. To the untrained observer, he’d look as casually gorgeous and confident as ever. Remus is far from an untrained observer and he sees just enough anguish behind Sirius’ beautiful eyes to break his resolve.

“Of course I’ve got you something, idiot. It’s smaller than a bread box, before you ask.”

Sirius flashes that grin that still makes Remus weak in the knees after all this time. “Good old Moony. Everyone knows the best gifts come in small packages.”

ARGH BUT NANOWRIMO lol. Okay I guess what's a few thousand more words when you're already writing all the words.

We don't ask for sooooo many words. Just a few words, in comparison, a very small gift. Of course let us know if you end up needing a few extra days. :)

I think I'm the one you're gifting to, and I say, don't worry about it! I don't really care about the length of a fic. Proper punctuation and reasonably in character Remus and Sirius are all it takes to makes me happy. I haven't been in the fandom for years and am craving *any* R/S :)

I will try and make it lovely, even if I can't make it long *kisses*

lol, my tired eyes first read that as 2 days! Glad it's 12, I might just get it in on time! I'm having a great time with it. Also, I work at a dog rescue, and in honor of the fest I named two new dogs Sirius and Remus. Their names are fitting- they are two handsome friends who came in after a hard start to life, and both are at least part British breeds. Sirius is the bigger and fiercer one, Remus is the quieter one but with a sneaky and mischievous streak you have to watch out for! They haven't been there long but are two of my favorites already.

Thanks for that cute little r/s story there!
