Braids

"Moons," Sirius moaned, crawling onto Remus's lap and placing his head on his chest. "Head hurts."

Remus stared down at his boyfriend, concern in his heart. "Did you take a potion, baby?" he murmured, eyebrows knit.

"Hmm," the other boy murmured, but he refused to move.

"What if I play with your hair, love?" Remus offered, already carding his fingers through the inky locks. "You usually like that."

And Sirius nodded again, already moaning softly as Remus moved his hands, acting more like a kitten than the dog they both knew he could turn into.

It only took minutes. As Remus combed through Sirius's locks, he noticed his boyfriend nod off, his head becoming heavier on Remus's chest. He knew that Sirius often got headaches from lack of sleep- a result of nightmares and anxiety. Physical affect was a comfort he often sought out in these moments.

And even though he knew Sirius was asleep, Remus decided to keep playing with the other boys hair. He thought, perhaps, he could try to braid it. It didn't seem hard, and Sirius looked lovely with his hair pulled back after Lily plaited it. Little pieces always feel out and framed his face perfectly, making Remus want to reach out and kiss him with all the love and tenderness he deserved.

So he set to his task, quickly realizing that it wasn't nearly as easy as he thought. Tongue pocking through his lips in concentration, he focused, poking errant hairs into his masterpiece as he went, trying his best to smooth down bumps and make a pattern. Even though he succeeded in confusing himself more often than not, by the end of a half-hour, he found that he'd created a decent braid, if he did say so himself.

Then James and Peter walked in, rousing Sirius from his slumber, making him sit up and look around blearily.

"Oi, Pads! What the hell died on your head, mate?" James asked, stifling a laugh as he took in the sight, making Sirius look to Remus before hopping off him and heading to the bathroom.

A bark of laughter was heard even from Remus's bed. "Moony!" Sirius called, walking back to him and folding into his arms. "Did you try to braid my hair?"

"Yes," Remus grumbled, a bit abashed. "It always looks so beautiful when Lily does it, and-"

"It looks perfect, Moons," Sirius grinned, patting the back of his head. "Erm...maybe we can just ask Lily to give you some...pointers, yeah?"

And when Remus gave him another once-over, taking in the multiple knots he'd accidentally tied, he nodded in defeat.

We seem to forget that the Black brothers actually come from the Black family

I’ve seen so many people describe them like puppies

And I just had to speak my truth

Those boys were raised by Walburga and Orion Black

They are haunted by their childhood

They can’t be all that nice and I’m not saying they’re evil, far from it, I’m just saying it’s an horizon we need to explore.

Regulus hexes people in the corridors for walking too slow, for chewing gum too loud, for having an ugly haircut or an ugly outfit

Sirius is more passive but not any more nice

He’ll say in people’s face that their style is horrendous

If he bumps into someone you can thrust he won’t be the one apologizing (he never learned to)

He’s so full of himself he’ll say stuff like ‘‘you’re in my way’’ or ‘‘ your presence is bothering me’’ without kidding

He’ll look at people up and down with clear distaste in his face

He always chooses the first of the class to team up with so he doesn’t have to do any of the work and still get a good grade

I know it sounds like I hate them but I swear they’re my babiess. I just need more of their mean side to show. Coming from an abusive household leaves scars in and out. So no, Regulus is not just a cute blushing twink and Sirius not just a gay rebel. Give them sass plsssssss!
