   Summary

   Two friends who have circled each other for years finally stop pretending it means nothing.

   Sirius is all heat and teasing confidence, never shy about what he wants, always pushing a little closer than he should. Remus is quieter—used to holding himself back, used to letting moments pass without naming them. They’ve built something that looks like ease from the outside: shared flat, shared nights out, shared friends who are increasingly exhausted by how obvious everything is.

   James and Peter have been watching it unfold for years, equal parts amused and exasperated, convinced it’s only a matter of time before the line finally gets crossed.
