Pairing: Sirius Black x Reader, Sirius Black x Marlene McKinnon, Remus Lupin x Reader

Warnings: Angst, anxiety, crying, jealousy

There's a chill that bites at your nose, tainting the skin a bright red and rendering you utterly freezing. Your hands can't go any further into the material of your pockets, and your fingers are curled into tight fists as you attempt to fight off the inevitable threat of hypothermia.

"You alright, there, love?" His voice is so soft, lulling you forward, lips curling into a satiated, yet shy smile as he shrugs off the sweater he's adorning. He's tugging it around your shoulders now, submitting to the angry winter wind as he makes sure you're snug. "I never did understand why they schedule these Hogsmeade visits in the dead of winter. They're too cold to do anything fun."

"S'not really the dead of winter. S'just the beginning of December." You croon quietly, reveling in the warmth that the soft material brings. "But, yeah. Are you sure you're not going to get cold?"

Sirius lets a chuckle to roll of his tongue, flashing a flirtatious smile at the girl who's chattering away with her friend as they make the trek down to Hogsmeade. "Don't worry, darling. I'll find a way to keep warm. Besides, it looks better on you than it ever did on me." He's suddenly bounding off, following after the flash of brunette locks and your heart is dropping in despair.

Marlene McKinnon.

If he could only carry the same infatuation in his eyes when he looked at you.

"I never did understand why you never said anything." Lily Evans barks in laughter, swinging her arm over your shoulders and urging you to walk with her down to the bustling of students below you.

"About what?" Your lips are turning into a discontented frown, eyes trained on the rocky terrain below your converse-clad feet.

"Your complete obsession with Sirius Black!" She stifles a giggle as you walk down the steep hill.

You deliver a swift elbow to her abdomen, resulting in her guffawing in laughter as she holds her bruised ribs. "Don't get mad because I can admit something that you can't!"

"We're friends, s'all. We've been friends since forever. I don't know why you have to make it more. I'm just convinced you're creating this entire fantasy because you can't manage to get your own boy to fantasize about."

Your tone is playful but it carries truth.

"Don't be daft! I have James!" The ginger scoffs, fighting back a playful grin.

"You don't have anybody." You remind her. "At least not until you give up and admit you love him back."

Lily purses her lips now, shooting you a look that has you momentarily forgetting your lovestruck woes.

"I just want him to look at me the way he looks at Marlene. It hurts so much worse now that he's settled down and found an actual relationship with someone. It felt better when he was sleeping around because then I knew it didn't mean anything. We were able to be best friends without a relationship getting in the way."

You trail off, attempting to stop the tears that are ebbing along your waterline. The pain is beginning to be too much.

The redhead sighs audibly, wrapping an arm around your drooping shoulders and resting her head against your right one. "I promise it'll be alright, love. Even if the two of you don't end up getting together, you'll find happiness. Besides, I personally think Sirius is a righteous wanker. You're not missing out on much."
