Drabble: After the Curtain Call

Title: After the Curtain Call
Author: mysid
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: They're Rowling's.
Prompt: Acting


"Buggerall, but I'm exhausted," Sirius said as he lay back and closed his eyes.

"But it's only half eleven." Remus immediately cursed the needy whine of his own voice. If Sirius was tired, then Sirius was tired. It wasn't Sirius's fault that Remus had spent most of James and Lily's engagement party anticipating being alone.

"All that smiling and 'Isn't this wonderful!' when it's the most dangerous thing they could possibly do. Flirting with silly birds—just enough that everyone's happy, but not enough that anyone expects more. I wish we could be ourselves," Sirius said as he snuggled closer.

Thank you. Between the brave facade in the face of danger and being in the closet, this Sirius had to do a lot of acting in public.
