Remus John Lupin was a werewolf. So that meant that on a full moon every month, he became a werewolf. And in his opinion, a monster. Don't get him wrong. He didn't feel like that all the time. Just when he thinks about the full moon. Or when he looks into the mirror and sees the scars littered against his skin.

But other than that, yeah, he thought of himself pretty highly. So highly that he let himself fall for Sirius Black. Yep. The Sirius Black.

And honestly, he had no idea how it had happened. Okay okay so maybe he did know how. They were both in their dorm, James doing Merlin knows what and Peter in detention for being late to Potions. Sirius had suggested that he could play vinyl to fill the emptiness and quiet of the dorm. In return, Remus said that he was reading and that was just a sign for Black to do what he wanted.

So he got a vinyl that he got from Regulus' friend. A Christmas gift of a vinyl of a band named Paramore. He had no idea who they were so he could only guess that they were a muggle band. Had he been listening to the vinyl a lot, he'd know all the lyrics. But he didn't. He only knew a few lines.

"I think I'll pace my apartment a few times. And fall asleep on the couch." Sirius sang, making Remus look up from the book he was reading. He's never heard Sirius sing before. Well he has but those were joking times and he didn't sing seriously. And Merlin did he sound good.

"That escaped my mouth" Sirius sings, smiling softly at Remus, who was softly humming along. He couldn't help but to notice how much eye contact Sirius was making. Holy shit the high note-

"All I wanted was you" And Morgana did Remus want to press his lips against Sirius'. Being able to sing that line with enough rasp and power, enough to make a werewolf shiver and weak to his knees.

"I just remember uh that study in the library. Y-Yeah" Remus mumbles before quickly standing up, feeling his face heating up. He had to leave now if he wanted to keep the fact that he liked him a secret. Wait what? Nope nope damn it of course he was falling for his best friend.

Remus was pretty sure that Lily knew about his feelings but she never asked. He also knew for a fact that Evan knew too and was talking about it with Lily. It was summer, so when Remus got Sirius' letter, he grabbed the envelope and ran to his room. He jumped onto his bed and quickly opened it. He couldn't help but smile softly at the messy handwriting. But his smile fades once he reads the contents of the letter.

Sirius and Regulus were at the Potter's? Damn he wished that he was able to visit. But with the transformation as well as his recovery time, he couldn't see when he'd be able to. Letters would just have to do until Diagon Alley.

Other than that, not much happened that summer. Sirius and Remus wrote letters back and forth to one another. Regulus had a few nightmares. Which meant a few nights of cuddling with James. They woke up the same in the morning. Avoiding glances. Small smiles. Maybe a joke or two from James.

And then the owls came.
