#remus definitely checked benjy's star sign to make sure they didn't align

Today's @wolfstarmicrofic prompt is slide and MY FAVES ARE BACK

Here's some hippie Remus x scientist Sirius for the sake of my mental health

I also haven't yet introduced y'all to a part of this AU that I write about in my notes a LOT (this is after the very first one)

"I think I gave your security guard a heart attack earlier. Fenwick, was it?" Remus said calmly, his arm around Sirius and his fingers raking gently through Sirius' hair as they sat on the sofa.

"Who, Benjy? Yeah, probably." Sirius answered with a laugh, missing Remus' slight frown, a crease forming in between his eyebrows.

"Are you the only one who calls him Benjy?" He asked, mild curiosity laced in his voice, but Sirius could read Remus like a book, he could feel the slight hostility in his tone. He had picked up on something that Sirius hadn't.

"Uh, I think so? He asked me to. How come?"

"Just wondering." He hummed casually, Sirius resting his head on Remus' shoulder.

The next morning, he was just getting his stuff together when Remus walked over to him. He offered him a smile, shoving a book into his bag.

"Hey, want me to drop you off at work today?" Remus asked.

"Always do." He agreed immediately.

"Great. Lily's got some new crystals in, I'll pick something up for you."

"Thanks, darling." Sirius had a feeling that he was going to end up wearing some sort of crystal jewellery to work. Remus had been hinting at it for a while, and Sirius couldn't say no to him. Ever.

Still, he wasn't going to complain when it meant he had Remus on the commute to the lab. He drove in a comfortable silence, walking him into the building and glancing quickly at Benjy.

"See you later, love." With that, he kissed him. Not just some quick goodbye, like he usually would. It was the type of kiss that Sirius could just trip and fall into, almost couldn't help himself. He felt Remus' hand slide up the side of his neck to rest on his cheek, the other snaking around his waist, and Sirius vaguely remembered that Benjy was there and watching, they had an audience, but he really couldn't bring himself to care, Remus drew all of his focus, his attention, and he barely even had to try to get it. It was his, always had been.

Eventually, after what definitely wasn't long enough for Sirius but was probably much too long for Benjy, he pulled away, smiling at an insanely dazed Sirius.

"Bye." Remus said, turning and leaving.

"Bye." Sirius said back softly, before turning and trying to offer Benjy a smile, to get his own brain back after it had promptly short circuited. "Hi, Benjy."

"Hello." Benjy wasn't quite meeting his eyes, as Sirius walked past, trying to make sure he was actually going to be able to work, without his mind being on Remus all day.

Well, more than normal, anyway.
