Hello dear readers. I'm translating my own story! This is an another universe story about a very mean abusive Sirius and a cute submissive Remus. We will have lots of angst and fluff to compensate. I hope you enjoy it! :D

Sirius Black loved James Potter like a brother, they grew up together and went through lots of happy and sour moments. It was James who gave him support when his parents died and he had to be in charge of the family business at a young age. It was James who encouraged him to become the most successful twenty one year old businessman. It was James who comforted him after his little brother died in the war. It was James who threw rotten eggs to his cheating ex fiancée's house. It was James who recently named him godfather of his unborn first child. Of course he loved James, but sometimes Sirius just wanted to choke that son of a bitch.
He had a disgusting vagabond sitting in Black´s living room and expected Sirius to let him stay for several months.
'Please, Sirius! He is not a tramp, he is a servant, and he is a very important witness at the trial against the Pettigrews. He may disappear or somebody might make him disappear, we can't risk it.'
'I dislike servants as well, I don't trust them that's why I had never accepted one in my house. If you want him watched over you can have him in your home.'
'I can't, Lily is pregnant and this is a werewolf. I don't want him to shed hair or something Lily can be allergic to.'
'HE IS A WHAT?!
'An inoffensive werewolf,' James said hastily, 'he is very neat, uses his little cage, talks and can handle house chores.'
'If he is that safe you can have the fucking dog in your home!' Sirius replied angrily.
'I don't have room, we have tons of baby stuff all over the place, and the nursery is still unfinished.'
'NO.'
'Okay, I understand…you are willing to risk your future godson's health. I will go now and tell Lily that she needs to get more allergy medicines and have the emergency contact ready.
'Oh, don't you dare to play the pity card—don't make that face! Aghhhhhh! Fine, I will do it!'
'Great! You can come in now, Remus!'
'He is already in here, stupid.' And there he was, a young man sitting beside them looking at them with wide amber eyes. He had been silent through the whole conversation; they treated him like he wasn't even there.
'Anyways, I have to go,' James said cheerfully as he pulled out a folded paper. 'This is his lunar cycle chart and his cage unfolds and enlarges when the moon is full. Please take care of him, I will call you when I need him to come to the ministry.' As fast as he could James jumped to the chimney to disappear between emerald clouds. He wanted to go before Sirius had the chance to regret the agreement.
Black's beautiful face was twisted in suppressed anger; he felt that the most prominent vein in his forehead would explode at any time. He was trying to stay calm, after all it was just a favour to his best friend and he just needed to wait a few months until he could throw that thing out of his house.
He turned to face the object of his irritation, inspected him from head to toe and then looked into his eyes.
'As I said, you can stay, but you are in no way a guest,' Sirius told him coldly, 'you will clean, cook and take care of my house. You are sleeping in this living room—in the cupboard—because I don't have a servant's room. I have never had servants because I can't stand low-class parasites like you. Understand?'
The young man just nodded, fearing that any sound from his mouth could provoke his new master to throw him out into the streets.
'I understand that you have served other houses before, so I assume you will know what to do. I expect dinner by 5 o'clock, you are already late. And fucking move from my couch before you stain it!'
With those last words Remus, the servant, stood immediately and rushed to the kitchen. Knowing that the master wanted to find any excuse to get rid of him he decided to make his best effort to exceed expectations and impress him. Maybe his delicious food would melt a little of the ice between them.
