[ Smiling so hard his cheeks dimple. ]

Yep.

[caniculares]

This is cruel. You're cruel.

[But he's hauling himself out of the water and making his way to the camper, and about fifteen minutes of James yelling later, he's heading back to the beach.]

Oy!

[mapmaker]

[ He's just been floating along pretty happily on his back, his freckles slowly breeding more freckles as he bakes in the sun. But when he hears Sirius he looks up and starts paddling back to the edge of the water. ]

What's the verdict?

[caniculares]

The verdict is get out of the water, he thinks he's fixed it, but you're the only one who knows anything about muggle...things.

[That's right, muggle things, he's so clear.]

[mapmaker]

I'm still not a mechanic.

[ Because sometimes he thinks they forget that considering they see him as 'Muggle Authority' - every time something happens outside of the wizarding world they call for him. He doesn't know a lot about camper vans. But he drags himself out of the water, the sea clinging to pale and freckled skin as he tries to shake himself off. ] Let's go.

[caniculares]

[Sirius frowns a bit and gets back in the water, pulling Moony with him.]

No, no, first-

[He grabs him and kisses him, right there, he wants a bit of a snog, James and Peter know so it's not like it's a thing, right?]

[mapmaker]

[ They're alone on the beach together and so Remus doesn't mind it. He presses his damp body against Sirius' sun-warmed one, winding a hand in his hair as he kisses him back.

It lasts longer than it should and when they part he makes a soft noise in the back of his throat. ]

Mm.

[caniculares]

That deeper water handjob offer does still stand.

[He kisses him again, as if that will help with convincing him.]

[mapmaker]

[ Laughing as he tries to push Sirius away. ]

I have to look at the van!

[caniculares]

Why, though, they can wait, can't they? It's not as though you know any more than the rest of us, really-

[He's not dumb, he knows that Moony is about as useless as a wet rug when it comes to cars.]

[mapmaker]

Do you really think Prongs is going to sit around and wait for us?

[ He doesn't want a repeat of the last time he let Sirius pull him somewhere in the middle of a crisis for nefarious purposes. ] C'mon. The sooner we get going the sooner we can invent some reason to disappear.

[caniculares]

[It's not like they didn't eventually unlodge that rock from Peter's spine, okay?

He groans, though, and lets himself be pulled out of the water. Complaining just a bit.]

He owes me, then.

[mapmaker]

[ With a straight face. ]

Mm. I'm sure he'll oblige if you ask nicely.

[caniculares]

I'll kick him and Wormtail out of the camper and have my way with you-

Well, I suppose Peter can stay, if he sits in the front seat and covers his ears.

[Really, no.]

[mapmaker]

[ So dryly. ]

You really know how to woo a man, Sirius.

[caniculares]

Yes, well.

[He raises his head, rather primly, thank you-]

I wouldn't let him actually look at you, if that helps.

[mapmaker]

[ Rolling his eyes as he starts back up the hill. ]

No.

[caniculares]

You are no fun at all-

[But he's following, trudging up behind him.]

[mapmaker]

I am very fun. I just don't fancy public sex.

[caniculares]

It's not public! It's just Wormtail!

[mapmaker]

[ Throwing him a look. ]

It's Wormtail.

[caniculares]

[He sighs. Okay. Okay.

He makes a bit of a face.]

This summer would have been better if we had found a dingy little shack and just shagged the whole way through.

[mapmaker]

Mm.

[ Does he sound wistful? He sounds wistful. ]

C'mon, it'll be fun.
