Call me maybe

Summary:

A texting fic centering around Remus and Sirius. Sirius is at boarding school with the other marauders, Remus is in a band with some other familiar faces!

Sirius loves sending out blast texts (because ofc he does) and sends one to Remus (an unknown number) they get to know each other and eventually meet. Shenanigans, flirting, thirsty pics, friendships and pranks ensue.

 

Fluff and angst and all that good stuff!

AU where MsKingBean's character Grant is there too because I love him.

Notes:

Texting fic because I love them! There are some instances of homophobic slurs/language in here, but easily skipped and will be individual chapter TW!

Starts with texting and then moves into some different media formats to convey the story!

Hope you like it, I'm having great fun writing it! :)

Finally - JK Rowling's views are trash and I do not support them, but these characters have taken over my mind and aren't moving out so here we are!

Chapter 1: Unknown number?

Summary:

Sirius and Remus start texting, there's snark, banter and flirting and we love it.

This chapter references underage drinking/being drunk and kidnapping (fake/as part of a joke)

Notes:

Hi everyone

I love a text fic so decided to do my own!

Hope you enjoy :)

For context 🧡🎸 is Remus and Unknown number is Sirius.

[16.27] Unknown number: URGENT! Need 1950s style dress + girl in it for a hot 🔥🔥🔥 date with Peter THIS FRIDAY! Look no further ladies ur dream date is waiting! RVSP, first come first served! 😚

[17.14] 🧡🎸: What a shame, I only have a 1940s dress with a boy in it.
[17.14] 🧡🎸: Sorry to disappoint you Peter, was really looking forward to a dream date xx

[17.45] Unknown number: Alas
[17.45] Unknown number: I am not Peter
[17.45] Unknown number: But will let him know you’re available
[17.45] Unknown number: Unless you have just kidnapped a random guy and stuffed them into an old dress?
[17.45] Unknown number: Eh, Petey’s probably desperate enough to consider a hostage

[18.05] 🧡🎸: Damn. Can’t believe I was discovered so soon. It was a foolproof plan
[18.05] 🧡🎸: I’ll just go and release him now.
[18.06] 🧡🎸: If I feed him a saucer of milk and some tuna maybe he won’t have me arrested?

[18.27] Unknown number: No wait
[18.27] Unknown number: If you release him I’ll still have to find Peter a date 😨

[18.30] 🧡🎸: Too late
[18.30] 🧡🎸: He’s already been released back into the wild
[18.30] 🧡🎸: I hope he wasn’t in captivity too long and can still fend for himself

[18.32] Unknown number: Shit. Did you at least keep the dress?
[18.32] Unknown number: Might be able to do something with that
[18.32] Unknown number: Do you think Pete would notice if his date was an oddly constructed scarecrow?

[18.34] 🧡🎸: Depends

[18.35] Unknown number: On?

[18.37] 🧡🎸: Several factors
[18.37] 🧡🎸: How observant he is
[18.37] 🧡🎸: The structural integrity of the oddly constructed scarecrow
[18.37] 🧡🎸: Is he planning on being drunk that night?
[18.37] 🧡🎸: Is he trying to get laid? (In which case we’re back at the first two factors)

[18.40] Unknown number: Hmm
[18.40] Unknown number: Food for thought
[18.40] Unknown number: I’ve worked with worse odds

[18.45] 🧡🎸: I mean the drunk factor could cinch it
[18.46] 🧡🎸: I don’t know him but if he’s not very observant and very drunk you have a chance

[18.46] Unknown number: He’s medium observant. But I think a bit of alcohol poisoning might make up the difference
[18.48] Unknown number: Ok Prongs says we can’t poison him so scratch that

[18.55] 🧡🎸: We? I’m just the ideas man, you’re the poisoner
[18.55] 🧡🎸: What is a ‘Prongs’?

[19.00] Unknown number: Prongs is a nickname
[19.00] Unknown number: for my best mate James
[19.00] Unknown number: You’re the mastermind! That’s worse than the faceless assassin, you’re pulling all the strings from behind the scenes

[19.08] 🧡🎸: Listen
[19.08] 🧡🎸: Am I texting a random unknown number? Yes
[19.08] 🧡🎸: Should I be surprised if it results in some murder? No
[19.08] 🧡🎸: Should I be blamed? Also no
[19.09] 🧡🎸: If the cops are listening I’m not to blame. I’m only a criminal in the brainstorming stages. It was all ‘Unknown Number’.

[19.13] Unknown number: ‘Unknown Number’????
[19.13] Unknown number: I am shocked
[19.13] Unknown number: Shocked and hurt
[19.13] Unknown number: How can you not know who I am????

[19.16] 🧡🎸: Why are you famous or something?
[19.16] 🧡🎸: Do you know who I am?
[19.16] 🧡🎸: Actually how did you get my number?
[19.16] 🧡🎸: Questions I probably should’ve started with but hey ho
