Title: pas de deux

Fandom: HP (Remus/Sirius, as always)
Every morning, they shuffle sleepily to the kitchen, trading off the responsibilities for tea and toast. The space between the counter and the table is a little too narrow for two, but they like it that way: soft nudge of elbows, worn fabric against bare hips. Waiting for the butter to melt, they share the daily crossword, fingers catching as they pass the pen between them. Sirius's sleep-tousled hair falls into both of their faces, but it’s Remus who tucks the stray ends back behind his ears, tangible expression of words they never say (but then, they never have to).
*snoozes*

How about body-calligraphy?
