Sirius Black had a reputation. Being the frontman of a rock band is bound to come with a little bit of notoriety.

In the case of Sirius Black, his reputation included potentially dangerous crowd surfing, risqué dance moves, improvisations, a slightly obscene mouth, and kissing his fans.

Lily Evans was banking on the last one being part of the concert she saw. Lily Evans was a huge fan of Sirius's band, The Marauders. Her friends joked that it was because she had a crush on the bassist of the group, and they weren't completely wrong. In all honesty, Lily really did enjoy their music. So did her best friend Remus, so when she got two tickets to see them in concert in London, he wasn't saying no.

He was starting to regret that though, as they camped out outside the venue.

"Remus! Look at the sign I made!" Lily exclaimed, holding a large piece of cardboard behind her back.

She brandished the sign and gave her best friend a chance to read it, and in that moment, he not only regretted going to this concert, but regretted most of his life choices leading up to that moment.

The sign read, in big sparkly letters: "my best friend is 20 and hasn't had his first kiss. please be his first kiss"

"Tell me you're not serious." Remus flushed. Yes, he was twenty. No, he had never kissed anyone (other than Lily on a dare). His entire grade at his boarding school was basically in love with him, but he was oblivious and has extremely high standards, so he just never got his first kiss.

"Oh, I fully am. Need I remind you, I got you this ticket and can revoke it at any moment." Lily winked, her red hair flapping in the morning wind.

"Are you blackmailing me?"

"One of these days, you're going to get mono." James Potter laughed. James was The Marauders bassist.

"I will not get mono. And if I do, it's a cool story." Sirius laughed. His affinity for kissing random fans had gone viral, just like he wanted it to. The band was rising in fame exponentially due to his little stunt.

"You fully will, and we will laugh." Said Dorcas Meadowes, the bands drummer.

The Marauders had a concert routine down. It was a well oiled machine at that point. It had to be after playing 22 sold out shows in a month.

The set list was exact, everything was timed right. Even the little improv moments were at specific times and for specific lengths.

Sirius's favorite part, other than singing the songs he poured his heart out to in front of people who fully understand him, was reading fans signs and interacting with this crowd.

One sign in particular caught his attention. It was a small piece of cardboard held by a beautiful redhead girl close to the front.

"I'm sorry, is that correct?" He pointed to the sign the girl was holding.

She nodded enthusiastically, starstruck by his interaction with her.

"This beautiful girls sign says 'my best friend is 20 and hasn't had his first kiss. please be his first kiss'. Where is your friend?" Sirius asked, attempting to locate the person she was with.

The girl jumped and pointed at the boy next to her. Sirius was certain that he had just appeared there in that moment. A face that striking, he thought he would notice.

This best friend of this girl was one of the most beautiful people Sirius had ever seen. He didn't even look real.

"Sorry, how have you never kissed anyone?" Sirius asked this boy. He was so confused how someone that attractive could've never kissed anyone. "For those of you who cannot see him, this man is incredibly attractive."

Remus flushed absolutely red, covering his mouth.

"Please kiss him! Our entire grade in school was in love with him and he was oblivious!" Lily yelled at the top of her lungs, earning a slap on her arm by her best friend.

"Oh no, I'll do it. As long as you're actually an adult." Sirius replied. His kissing fans stunt was gaining a lot of positive attention, but he knew kissing someone underage would ruin all of it.

"I have my ID." Remus said, accepting that he was going to be kissed. His first kiss being with a rockstar was a pretty good story.

Remus pulled his ID out of his pocket as Sirius made his way over the barricade, immediately flanked by his security.

He examined Remus's ID, doing intense mental math to determine that he was, in fact, 20 years old. He was also exactly 6 months younger than Sirius, to the day.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Sirius said, handing Remus is ID.

"Sure." Remus smiled. Up close, Sirius was even hotter than in pictures, which was pretty hard to be.

"Your first kiss. You want it to be with me?" Sirius made sure Remus was okay with it. He wanted literally nothing in the world more than to kiss this boy, but he didn't want it to be the result of peer pressure. He wanted the guy to actually want it.

"Yeah, why not. It'll be a good story." Remus shrugged, concealing that the actual reason was that he was very attracted to the rockstar in front of him.

"Alright, if you're sure."

Sirius leaned forward and grabbed both sides of Remus's face, smiling as he pressed their lips together.

Even though Remus had nothing to compare this too, it was the best kiss either of them had ever had. It was perfect.

They pulled apart and Sirius immediately thought "How the hell can I finish this show now?"

Alas, he did finish the show, for that was his job, but his mind was elsewhere. It was still in the crowd with this random boy.

Before the show ended, he asked a security guard to send the guy and his redhead friend backstage.

Remus and Lily made their way backstage after the concert, surprised and excited to meet the band. Lily was hurrying to fix her hair, just in case she ran into the bassist.

"You know I never caught your name." A voice said from behind Remus. He spun around to see Sirius Black standing in front of him. He was surprised to realize he hadn't previously noticed that the rockstar was at least half a foot shorter than him. He must've been standing on a platform when they kissed.

"It's Remus." Remus held out his hand for a handshake.

"Sirius Black, at your service." He shook the boys hand. Their touch caused sparks.

"I know."

"I'm sorry, I've gotta say. I know you haven't had any kisses to compare that too, but I have had my fair share and that was easily the best kiss of my life." Sirius smiled.

"Oh. Thank you?" He didn't really know how to respond to that amount of flattery.

"Do you want to get out of here?" Sirius grabbed Remus's hand, leading him out of the venue.

"I should make sure Lily's okay." Remus said, despite every part of him wanting to run away with this man and never return.

"She's fine. She's talking to James, who spent all night whispering how beautiful she was to me." Sirius laughed, grabbing Remus tighter and leading him outside. They spent all night adventuring around London, sneaking kisses and laughs.

The age of Sirius Black kissing random fans had come to an end. But the age of Sirius Black kissing one particular fan had just begun.
