Remus noticed how quickly Sirius was downing the shots of firewhiskey and how the line of glasses grew longer as the night went on. He knew Sirius had always been pretty tolerant of alcohol, having seen him stomach two whole bottles of Dragon Barrel Brandy at a Gryffindor quidditch after-party and not getting completely hungover in the morning. But having the room in front of Sirius and Joanna's meant Remus unintentionally listened to raised voices bicker and the pop of someone disapparating afterward. He had a hunch Sirius wasn't drinking to have a good time, but rather to drown his sorrows from whatever happened with Jo.
Once Sirius gulped the remaining bottle of firewhiskey, unaware of the glare he was receiving from the bartender, Remus stopped him from ordering another.
"AYYY YOU CAN'T DO ZAT!" Sirius shouted, swatting Remus away.
"I think we should go home," Remus advised.
He discerned Sirius's slurred speech as, "No, we can't. I don't want to go home."
Remus claimed, "You're way past drunk so we should leave."
Sirius crossed his arms and huffed, "I said no! Can't you listen to me for once?"
"I am," Remus blankly stated.
"I'm not going home, Moomy," Sirius revealed.
Remus asked, "Why not?"
Sirius reasoned more with himself than with Remus, "Because... I'm... supposed to be mad!"
Remus questioned, "At who?"
"Jojo. She called me a monster," Sirius gossiped.
Remus, quite surprised, took his confession with a grain of salt, "She what?"
Sirius stammered, "Uh Huh. She said I was a... a... a detached emotional monster."
"You're sure about that?" Remus raised his brow.
"No, but I'm mad," Sirius pouted.
Remus continued, "So what did you say?"
"That she was being psychotic and I love her," Sirius disclosed.
Remus was finding it hard not to laugh at his intoxicated friend's memory, "Really?"
"I love her, Moomy," Sirius muttered.
Remus nodded his head, "I know."
"I don't want to go home," Sirius garbled, almost tripping on the barstool.
Remus slung Sirius' arm over his shoulder, "That's a bit melodramatic, Pads."
"Hey! Who're you calling Pads?" Sirius continued mumbling.
A/N: Wanted to parallel that Kate and Jo moment with Remus and a childishly drunk Sirius. Hope you guys like it! Xx
