Work Text:

                     

    Remus and Sirius walked down the little path they had dug in the forest, basket aloft. They were holding hands, Remus squeezing Sirius’ hand tight, making sure Sirius didn't trip on a root or something. The late afternoon sun was burning bright above their heads, filtering through the forbidden forest. The sweet smell of wild honeysuckle wafted around them, like ripe orange. Sirius smiled as as they walked down the little trail, listening to the waterfall gush in the distance and squeezing Remus’ hand tighter. 

 

                                        Ooh, never thought I would be without you

                                                I wish you love, I wish you well

                                     I wish you roses while you can still smell them

   They both poked through the flowery entrance, and they stepped in. It was a lovely place, they had found it years ago one full moon, and it was a gorgeousl place where they could relax. There was a huge, clear lake, water shimmering in the sun like a smooth plate of glass. Wild flowers dotted the rim, and at the very back of the lake, there was a huge waterfall filtering into it, gushing loudly.

 

          With pretty flowers can come the bee sting (ooh, never thought I would be without you)

                                           But I wish you love, I wish you well

                              I wish you roses while you can still smell them (ooh)

     Sirius grinned, squeezing Remus’ hand and dragging him to their favorite spot.  It was a huge, thick oak tree, with plenty of foliage to shade them from the sun. Rose bushes surrounded the base of the tree, big blooming buds of crimson and yellow and orange popping out in the vast amount of green leaves. Remus was always transfixed by the sheer beauty of it was always so captivating. Sirius chuckled softly, turning Remus’ chin and kissing his cheek. 

 

                                            I was a rose in the garden of weeds

                                        My petals are soft and silky as my sheets

                                     So do not be afraid to get pricked by the thorn

    “Come on, Moony~” Sirius whispered, stroking Remus’ cheek tenderly. 

  “Sorry love, its just so pretty..” Sirius pretended to blush, hiding his face in his hands. 

   “Aww, Moony..” Remus shook his head, chuckling softly and taking Sirius’ hand and kissing it gently, letting his lips rest on Sirius’ knuckles. 

    “I was talking about the lake, sweetheart…” Sirius pouted teasingly, before dragging Remus under the oak, taking the basket and taking their food out. Remus picked one of the many roses from one the bushes, twirling it in his fingers, pressing at the thorns lightly. Remus turned back, watching Sirius begin to eat the sweets they had brought. Remus clutched the rose tighter and crawled across the blanket Sirius had set up, pulling Sirius into his lap. Sirius grinned, wiping away crumbs with the back of his hand. 

 

                                        While I'm here, I'm someone to honor

                                      When I'm gone, I'm someone to mourn

                               But if you and my heart should someday drift apart

                                     I'll make sure to give you these blessings

                                              Because they're all I've got

    “I want to see how this would look..” Remus whispered, before he started to thread the rose through Sirius’ hair, letting the thorns catch on the silky strands. Remus picked a few more, carefully tucking them into Sirius’ glossy black curls, the pink and orange clashing gorgeously with the raven. Sirius closed his eyes, letting Remus skillfully decorate him, relishing how his Moony’s fingers felt, pressing carefully against his temples and tugging carefully at his curls. Remus carefully perched the last orange rose behind Sirius’ ear, pulling away and admiring his work. Sirius opened his eyes, leaning forward and gently kissing Remus’ nose. 

 

                                             My love's deep as the ocean

                                                  Don't you drown on me

                            Just know any love I gave you's forever yours to keep

    Remus smiled, pressing Sirius closer. Sirius wrapped his arms around Remus, fingering the ring on Remus’ hand. Remus stood, taking Sirius’ hand. 

   “Come, darling. I want you to see..” Remus whispered, tucking one of Sirius’ ebony locks behind his ear. Sirius grinned, and they both walked to the edge of the water, both of them laying down, Sirius looking at his reflection and smirking. 

 

                    Ooh, I wish you roses, and roses, and roses, and roses, and roses

                                      I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses

                Ooh, I wish you roses, and roses, and roses, and roses, and roses

                                      I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses

    “So pretty..” Sirius whispered, touching the water, watching his reflection ripple. Remus gently laid down beside Sirius’ watching his reflection as well. Sirius leaned his head  against Remus’ shoulder, staring at his reflection. 

    “Its your turn, Moony~” Sirius whispered, tilting Remus’ chin, looking into his eyes. Remus chuckled,

     “Oh no, I couldn't pull it off like you, love..” Sirius giggled, and he stood and dragged Remus back to the bushes, starting to pick the bright orange Lady of Shalott roses. Remus sighed, letting Sirius tuck them behind his ear, careful and concentrated. 

 

                   Ooh, I wish you roses, and roses, and roses, and roses, and roses

                                          I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses

                 Ooh, I wish you roses, and roses, and roses, and roses, and roses

                                         I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses

    “There.” Sirius said, pulling away and cupping Remus’ cheeks, stretching them teasingly. “ Bloody Gorgeous… ” Sirius whispered, admiring Remus lovingly, eyes brimming with pure adoration. Remus pulled Sirius onto his lap, adjusting the big flowering buds in Sirius’ hair. Remus tilted his chin up and pressed his lips to Sirius’, the inside of his mouth sweet and soothing, like honey.

 

                                        Ooh, never thought I would be without you

                                               I wish you love, I wish you well

                                     I wish you roses while you can still smell them

    Sirius smiled and leaned back against the tree hollow, the cool pleasant shade and familiar warmth shutting his eyes. Remus pressed Sirius up against the tree hollow, pinning him gently, squeezing his thighs. Remus opened his eyes slightly and watched as his beauty reacted so pricelessly, whimpering softly as Remus continued to fondle his thighs. It was almost too much to handle, how could he not make love to him right here and right now, when he was whimpering so softly, pretty head and face all decked out, pinned completely and looking so vulnerable

 

        With pretty flowers can come the bee sting (ooh, never thought I would be without you)

                                              But I wish you love, I wish you well

                                I wish you roses while you can still smell them (ooh)

 

   Sirius seemed to realize what Remus was thinking as he pulled away, grinning. 

   “Not here, love. Not now. Later ? ” Remus laughed, pulling Sirius to his chest and holding him close, fingering the silky petals of the roses in Sirius’ hair. 

 

                      Ooh, I wish you roses, and roses, and roses, and roses, and roses

                                        (I wish you roses), I wish you roses

                                         (I wish you roses), yeah, roses, roses 

    “I suppose, but tonight, I promise ill love you so hard.. ” Sirius giggled, closing his eyes. Good thing Remus never breaks his promises. 

 

                         Ooh, I wish you roses, and roses, and roses, and roses, and roses

                                           I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses
