remoose: nothing?? i don't think??

 

remoose: lol he doesn’t like me like that he’s just a flirty person

 

misspotter: whatever but do you like HIM like that

 

remoose: idk

 

remoose: i don't want another benjy repeat 

 

misspotter: duh but sirius is not benjy. sirius will never be benjy because benjy is a dickwad 

 

remoose: yeah

 

misspotter: my previous question has not been answered

 

remoose: maybe i like him

 

remoose: i think i do

 

remoose: which is like. weird?? since i haven't actually known him long?? and i thought i hated him because of that one english class we had together but turns out i don't hate him at all. technically he stole my sweater but he told me it looked comfy so i took it off and put it on the bed and looked away because i wanted him to take it and he’s really smart, he picked up everything i was talking about really quick and he infuriated me during that one class but i always looked forward to picking fights with him because i wanted to know his point of view on things and he’s so pretty like holy shit he’s SO pretty and i like it when he smiles and he doesn't talk about himself a lot and i think it's because he thinks he’s too much but he’s like. just right

 

remoose: for me at least

 

misspotter: remus

 

remoose: i knowwww
