How are lupin and Sirius going to celebrate Valentine's Day?
im glad u asked! im actually writing a drabble about this just now.
- sirius (obviously) LOVES valentine’s day and insists on going as over the top as he can every single time
- remus is NOT A FAN of valentine’s day, or emotions in general tbh
- but this year, sirius and remus have been going through a rocky stage of their relationship; arguing constantly about every little thing and not talking to each other for days. because of this, sirius has been really down and moody recently and doesn’t plan anything for valentine’s as he doesn’t see the point
- moony, however, hasn’t forgotten the past years and how much effort sirius likes to put into getting gifts for him, so he knows he has to do something
- it is common knowledge that remus cannot cook to save his life. he’s actually been banned from the kitchen by lily because of an incident involving some toast, so he knows he can’t make a nice meal like he wants to (sirius doesn’t like going out to eat because he gets uncomfortable eating in front of others)
- so remus is panicking for ideas and of course turns to the love guru himself, james
- after fangirling extensively over how stressed remus is getting about trying to do something nice for sirius, james points out the obvious - sirius is the soppiest person alive and likes to spend valentine’s like he’s starring in a rom-com movie. as well as this, sirius is also the biggest pizza-slut on earth, so put two and two together and remus knows what to do
- it’s very simple, and at first he’s worried that it’ll be a let down compared to what sirius would have planned himself, but remus settles on ordering sirius’ favourite pizza, filling the room with sirius’ favourite mulled-wine candles, and buying the most Extra bunch of red roses he can find
- when sirius gets home that evening, remus is shitting himself with self-doubt, but nevertheless he puts on sirius’ fave bowie album and goes to meet him at the door
- it seems to take forever for sirius to take it all in, and for a second remus thinks that he’s Fucked Up because sirius literally just stares at the candles, at remus, at the roses he’s holding, and says nothing
- but when remus kisses him on the cheek and hands him the flowers, there are tears brimming in sirius’ eyes, because after all the arguments and the doubt and the harsh words from both of them, sirius knows his moony loves him, because remus would never do anything like this for anyone else
- starman has never been the best song to slow dance to, but sirius insists that no cliched romantic evening is complete without a slow dance, and remus can’t exactly say no
- basically remus forgets his hatred of feelings and spends the entire evening telling sirius that he loves him while sirius cries because he’s so happy. there is lots of cuddling and playing with hair and forehead kisses
- also the next day sirius literally takes the bunch of roses outside and walks around with them hoping that someone asks where he got them from so he can rant endlessly about how he has THE BEST BOYFRIEND IN THE WORLD WHO IS MOST DEFINITELY BETTER THAN YOURS
happy valentine’s people :)

tomorrow is my last day of high school. i guess it’s always been a tradition to give advice to freshman. when i try to think of just one solid line of advice, something that some scared 14 year old will hold onto for dear life until they are in my shoes in four years, it’s as if i’ve hopped on to a train that’s departing and i am screaming goodbye at the one’s i’m leaving behind. not once have i given someone a worthy goodbye. it always comes out in jumbled warnings and memories and wishes. but as my final day of high school lays ahead of me, i find myself on that train. i want to tell you to watch out for deadlines, and take more photos than you think you’ll need, and try new things even if you think you won’t like them. i’d tell you not to procrastinate, but in truth i just want you to learn to procrastinate well. don’t wait until the very last minute and end up turning in tear stained essays the morning following the night you spent rid with anxiety and feelings of worthlessness. turn in essays you write after you ditched studying to go driving around with your friends, essays that are filled with passion and too much conviction. always remember that what you get out of life is what you put into it. do not spend each day wishing for the next. you have to be there, so you might as well want to. i wish for you to love people with everything you’ve got, and then let them break you into a million tiny pieces, just so you know what it’s like. i wish for you to put up walls higher than the wall of china, and watch as one person single handedly breaks them down with just a few words. embrace every single thing that comes your way in the next four years, good and bad. embrace the positive and the negative, because you will learn from both. accept that the next four years are the only years when you will be surrounded by hundreds of people who are studying the same things as you, dealing with the same types of stress, are as much as they may hide it, are looking for support the same way you are. be that support for people. let other people be that support for you. and most importantly, be hungry. be hungry for growth, and success, and passion, and knowledge. remember that you are in no way required to be the same person you were 5 minutes ago. people say that high school is the time for finding yourself, but somehow i managed to lose myself more every day. cherish that, let yourself be constantly growing and constantly changing. realize that you will never find yourself and be happy with that thought, because to find yourself would mean that you had become stagnant. there are parts of your experience that are going to make you feel so numb, and you will settle with being stagnant and you will settle with feeling betrayed by your peers or your family or yourself. those times will come, but those times will also pass, and they are not worth letting the world break you. do not let the world make you hard, because you are beautiful and young and full of potential that you may or may not see right now. realize your own strengths, and do not dwell on the strengths of others. you are unique, you are important, and no matter what anyone tells you, the world needs you.
these four years are short, so make it count.
