these nerds were so in love

in sixth year, sirius and remus’s favorite passtime was to make james and peter uncomfortable.
they just love to see their friends embarassed.
so obviously it all starts with sex jokes
even if they aren’t there yet
so when james innocently say that a question for a potion homework is “a really hard one”
remus grins and winks at his boyfriend,and add “yeah, you’re not the first one to say that today.”
and sirius is half laughing half trying to hide himself under the table because “gosh moony, you were suppose to be the cute and awkward one in this relationship”
but the jokes go on and soon all hogwarts has a list of forbidden words
their other fav way to embarass everyone is too always pretend they were about to shag when someone enter a room they were in
even if really they were just innocently chatting
they even hide in broom cupboards waiting for people to come in
now everyone knock before to get in the dorms/bathrooms/classrooms/offices and yeah, even the cupboards
(which padfoot and moony will be very grateful for when they will really have sex )
but they soon realize that it isn’t the best way to embarass everyone
because everyone hate to see a couple getting all soppy
and the Nicknames Era had begun
“love” and “sweetie” clearly weren’t enough for marauders
“sweet ray of sunshine”, “thief of my heart”, “light in the darkness” neither
so you could hear in the middle of the common room
“you are the knife to my fork” “your eyes shine more than dumbledore’s beard” “you’re sweeter than chocolate” ( “cAlm DOwN HeRE pADFoOt YoU DOn’t JOKe wITh CHOcOLate” )
and they say it with the most serious look so no one knew if they were kidding or not
( which was the perfect cover for the soppiest couple ever )
basically james and peter feared every moment they would be with the two of them
( and james planned his revenge for when he will finally be dating lily )

BONUS ANGST

after the prank, it took months to remus to finally call sirius with his petnames
and sirius died a little everytime remus would call by his name
and he cried a little when remus called him “love” again
