Of all the names for the Sirius/Severus ship, Snirius, SiriSev, Snack, StarPrince, I’m partial to Snack myself. StarPrince is very nice but a little fancy for them, don’t you think? It makes them sound like the kind of sophisticated couple that goes on dates to art openings or the opera when really they’d be eating fast food straight out of the bag and argue for an hour straight about the optimal number of chicken nuggets to buy. Sirius says just get 20, those little fuckers won’t fill you up anyway so you might as well go for volume. Severus scoffs at him, you simpleton. You utter buffoon. You daft bastard. 20 chicken nuggets my god they should send you back to Azkaban for that one. If you ever come home with 20 chicken nuggets I’ll kill you
You can’t tell me there wasn’t a moment when Sirius knows something muggle that Severus doesn’t then proceeds to be all lol I’m more muggle than you are, hand in your muggle card you poser, it’s revoked. One day Sirius wonders aloud if he should drop the Black altogether and just go by Sirius, embrace the mononym like Prince and Severus damn near has a heart attack and demands to know what he means by Prince and Sirius is incredulous, Really? You don’t know Prince, the muggle musician? Jesus are you sure you’re half muggle?
Severus contemplates whether it would be worth the effort to explain to Sirius that while he does know who Prince is, even if he didn’t it wouldn’t make him any less muggle and that just because he’s half muggle it doesn’t mean he’ll know everything about every muggle everywhere but it seems like a lot of work so he decides against it. He takes it as a sign that he’s finally become a mature adult.
He takes it back the next day when Sirius hands him a Beatles album and declares it’s time Severus learns about his own culture. He has a lovely fantasy about throttling Sirius with his bare hands in honour of his muggle ancestors who didn’t need the Avada to get the job done.
