107. He pt 2

Remus sat awkwardly by the bed. It was their first night together in the dorm. Peter pretended not to see the elephant (Remus) in the room and continued to chew on beans.

James cleared his throat. "Uhh welcome to our dorm Remus.. There are no strict rules here, just basic privacy and cleanliness etiquettes. If you want some alone time do tell any of us and cast a bubble spell. Sirius and I have Quidditch practice every tuesday and thursday. Peter has chess every friday. We clean the dorm every weekend. Yep that's that."

"Thanks James and Lily likes you by the way. I had to get that out of the way." Remus smiled. "And thanks for not prying. I'm trans which means I am male with a female biological system, though I'm going through transition in that department."

The air got cooler as they continued the conversation. Innocently asking Remus' process of wearing binders and drinking potions and working out. Until, "Wait a second.. you're still in your uniform. Don't you want to change ?"

It wasn't a secret that Remus didn't come from a crazy rich family. With his wardrobe mostly consisting of feminine clothes (some of them already given away to Gryffindor girls), his new wardrobe is still on his waiting list.

"I..I gave them to the girls since the younger ones need more sweaters. It's fine, I can sleep shirtless or something."

Peter noticed his discomfort. He was first to open his floating wardrobe and pull out some shorts. He threw it at Remus. "Catch !"

Then it was a game of Dress-Lupin. James bickering with Sirius over what top fits Remus more. Sirius maybe having fun with the idea of Remus wearing his clothes.

The pile of clothes began to grow on Remus' bed.  A mixture of sweatpants, special edition Nirvana shirt, thick socks and sweatshirts. To Remus' werewolf senses, he now can tell who's clothes belonged to who. He folded them neatly but failed to do so when all 3 of them canon balled into the pile.

Sirius landed conveniently on Remus' lap while James busied himself with rolling up socks. Peter tried on some of the clothes himself. The air no longer awkward, they talked deeply about each other.

Remus now understands why James and Sirius are such an inseparable duo, why Peter sticks around with them and why Sirius goes home to James' house instead of his own.

The night became old and James tired himself out. "Dude I'm gonna crash." He slurred, eyes half awake. He swayed to his bed and fell face first on the blankets.

It was Peter who was big enough to carry his bottom half up the bed as he too went off to sleep. Only Sirius was left, still resting his head on his lap.

"How did you know Lily liked James and him liking her?"

Remus scoffed. "Sirius, I'm roommates with Lily. Of course, she tells me these things."

"Is that how it's like in the girls dorm ?  Sharing secrets like a gang."

Remus folded a T-shirt as he spoke. "Not every dorm I assume. It's just that I trust Lily with a few of my secrets so she also trusts me with hers. About James, it's very obvious. Have you seen how he is around her ?"

Now it's  Sirius' turn to scoff. "As his wife, I know how that stag is around Lily. Acting like a stammering fool-"

"Well, you're no different."

Sirius leaped at his words. He looked straight into Remus' nonchalant eyes. The other calmly folding James' grey pants.

"What ? What do you mean ?"

The boy finally looked up with a giggle. "Do you think I don't notice ? Hovering around me during Herbology ? Asking me for ingredients each Potion's class ? How red you get when we paired up for Transfiguration? I can go on-"

"Alright ! Alright ! I get it !" Sirius going red by the minute.  "If you did know, why didn't you say something ?"

"Why would I ? It was fun, teasing you. You get all blushy and nervous. I find it amazing that I can do that to you, brave and proud Sirius."

They studied each other's face, calculating their next move. Sirius gulped, "Now you know. what do you think about me ?"

"I like you Sirius. You're funny and you're actually bettet than you think you are. But I don't think I'm ready to be in a relationship."

Sirius nodded, his hand on Remus' shoulder. "Hey, I get it. I don't want to push you into anything. I just wanted to hear that you don't dislike being roommates with me."

The hand returned to Sirius' lap as he twiddled nervously. Suddenly a warm palm patted his hair. He looked up to Remus' kind smile. "I don't hate you. Never did."

Sirius threw his arms around the unsuspecting werewolf. "I needed that Re."

Re. Remus repeated in his head. Re, rE, Ré. He likes it. Especially coming out of Sirius' lips. He rubbed Sirius' back comfortingly. "I was worried you'd not want me around."

Sirius pulled back instantly. "No ! No ! What !? You knew I liked you !"

Remus clasped his hand on Sirius' mouth. "Shush ! You're gonna wake James. I get it."

Sirius jokingly licked the insides of Remus' palm, making the boy cringe and wipe the saliva back on his arm.

"Cmon, we gotta go sleep." Sirius said pushing Remus gently.

"G nite Black." Remus called out as he returned to his bed.

"See you around Re."

Re. Remus would definitely like to see him around.
