Summary
Remus regards him even through the fading haze of sleep. “No trying to take anything back,” he warns, knowing he’s more than right when Sirius sighs.
“I can’t guess for you, but I know I’ve been so lone—”
Remus uses his palm on Sirius’ mouth to halt whatever might come out of it next. “I’m supposed to be the overthinker, here, remember? I’m a grown man, I know what I was doing. I know what it meant. If you’re not sure, if you don’t feel the same –” Remus is stopped by Sirius’ tongue reaching out to swipe his palm, and he pulls it back, laughing, Sirius laughing with him.
They dissolve into helpless laughter for a couple of minutes, and then Sirius says, “Don’t ever think I’m not sure, don’t ever think I don’t feel about you. How I’ve always felt about you, still. Now. Always.”
Remus nods. They haven’t used the word yet, but he knows they will, and in the meantime, they don’t really need to. Sirius leans in to kiss him, and that’s sweet enough all on its own.
***
Sirius and Remus try to build a life together before, during and after The Order of the Phoenix. As usual, it doesn't go to plan, in ways both terrible and wonderful.
