Love, Moony

An Unexpected Turn of Events

      For the majority of the next month Remus and Sirius, actually got along. Sure they still
had arguments, mostly when Sirius was being too loud, but for the most part, they were getting along. Sirius was being mindful about where his things were, and with Remus' help was finding ways to organize. Remus was hexing him less.
      Meanwhile, Moony and Rose were growing exceptionally close and soon, there was little to nothing they didn't know about eachother. Other than House, the names of their friends, and their names. And the more and more he learned about the mysterious Rose, the more and more Remus fell for them.

Rose: ok my friend and I are having a debate

Remus: And you drew me into this for what?

Rose: i need you to settle ittttt
Rose: pleassseeeee 🥺🥺

Remus: I-
Remus: Fine.
Remus: What's the question?

Rose: do you believe in true love?

Remus: umm
Remus: ...I didn't used to...

Rose: oh?
Rose: what changed?

Remus: umm
Remus: I...uhhh
Remus: I met you

Rose: oh?

Remus: ....yea....

Rose: so you're saying...
Rose: that you...love me?

Remus: Uhh yep
Remus: Seems that way

Rose: i love you too moony

Remus: Oh
Remus: It's a little odd isn't it?
Remus: Loving someone without actually knowing who they are or what they look like?

Rose: i don't think of it that way
Rose: because i know who you are
Rose: you're moony
Rose: you're deeply scared of rejection and the dark
Rose: you listen to hozier when you feel lovesick
Rose: you have a different playlist for each mood
Rose: you write poetry in the journal i gave you and you've shared some of the most raw of them with me
Rose: i don't need to know what you look like
Rose: because i've built an image of you
Rose: and the pieces of yourself you've shared with me help close the puzzle
Rose: those are the pieces i fell in love with
Rose: not what you look like
Rose: if you're drop dead gorgeous that's just a plus
Rose: i don't really care what you look like
Rose: you're my moony and that's enough for me :)

Remus: Wow
Remus: I'm already in love with you
Remus: No need to make me fall even harder
Remus: The bottom looks kind of scary from where I'm at

Rose: that being said
Rose: i also have lowkey feelings for my idiot roommate

Remus: oh

Rose: i get it if you don't want to do this anymore
Rose: whatever this is
Rose: but if we aren't gonna meet now
Rose: i might...pursue him?

Remus: It's fine, just I might see other people too then?
Remus: If that's alright?

Rose: yea
Rose: So we're seeing other people?

Remus: Yea sounds like it
Remus: Umm listen I have to go so
Remus: Talk later?

Rose: yea sounds good
Rose: bye moony

Remus: Bye Rosie

Now in a rather foul mood, he headed towards his dorm room, just wanting to be alone.
He entered the dorm to find a pile of Sirius' clothes in his corner of the room. Normally, based on how well Sirius was doing at staying organized, it wouldn't bother him. But based on the shit turn of events, and the moon approaching the following night, he was outright pissed.
        "Black?"
        "Yes Remus?"
        Remus sighed, "Why is there a pile of your clothes on my corner of the room?"
         Sirius peeked around his bed and saw that shes enough, a pile of his clothes were on Remus' side of the room.
         "Shit. Sorry Lupin."  Remus sent a small hex.
         "Fuck mate, I told you I was sorry." Sirius said, turning around to see that Remus didn't even have his wand out.
         "Did you do that wandlessly?" Remus nodded.
         "That's...impressive." Remus' eyes went wide.
          He brushed the compliment off, "It's not hard."  He turned around to see Sirius walking towards him.
          "Teach me?"
         "And why would I do that?" Sirius thought for a minute.
        "Ummm I'll do your astronomy homework? I know you hate that class."
"I highly doubt you would follow through so no."
         Sirius slapped his arm lightly. "I can actually do nice things for people, it's not beyond me. Especially when those people are as cute as you." Sirius mumbled the last part.
        "I'm sorry what?" Remus said, having heard what Sirius said.
        "Nothing."
        "No you said something, something about me being cute? Does ickle Sirius have a crush on me?"
        "Oh please, as if I would ever fancy you." He rolled his eyes, desperately hoping Remus would drop it, hoping even more that Remus wouldn't notice the twinge of pink on his cheeks.
        Remus huffed a laugh, "Right, so then this wouldn't affect you." He turned the other boy around so they were standing centimeters apart. Sirius blushed harder.
         "Don't fancy me my ass." The taller boy chuckled.
         Sirius stood there in shock, for a moment, and then it struck him. Remus hadn't pulled back from him. They were still centimeters apart. So he did what he imagined doing the first time he saw him on the platform.
         Sirius leaned up, having to stand on his tip toes to reach the other boy, and ever so lightly brushed his lips against the other boys'. Remus tentatively kissed back. Sirius brushed his tongue across Remus' bottom lip, asking for permission to enter. Remus granted it to him eagerly. Sirius started to explore the taller boys mouth, only to have Remus fight back. Before either of them knew it, Remus had pushed them onto his bed. And it had only escalated from there.
         An hour later, Sirius and Remus laid next to each other. Shoulder to shoulder.
"Umm...well...that was..." Sirius mumbled.
"Unexpected." Remus finished.
"Among other things." Sirius mumbled. Remus laughed.
"So uhh...what do we do now?" Sirius asked sitting up.
"Ummm...well we could be friends with benefits? Or umm...we could go on a date?"
"I like the second option." Sirius kissed the taller boy.
"If you would've told me that I would be dating you a month ago, I would've hexed you."
"You would've hexed me for talking to you in the first place."
Remus laughed and planted a kiss on Sirius' forehead, "Yeah, you're right."
"Why did you hate me so much?"
"I didn't hate you. I actually quite liked you. And I think a part of me thought that if I got close to you, I'd fall for you and end up getting hurt. It was stupid, I was stupid."
Sirius kissed the other boy's jaw, "Yeah, you were. But you pulled your head out of your arse eventually. That's what matters. So, Remmy?" He moved from where he sat and started to redress himself.
"Yes, Sirius?" Remus followed the other boy and got dressed.
"Be my boyfriend?"
Remus kissed the other boy, "Only if you'll be mine." Sirius nodded eagerly and kissed the taller boy.
They returned to the common room and sat where James and Peter were playing chess, and Lily was watching. Remus tapped on Lily's shoulder and asked if he could chat with her outside. They were walking through the seventh floor corridor when a room appeared. Remus opened the door, and they sat on the sofa near the fireplace.
"What is this place?" Remus asked.
"The Room of Requirement, appears when you need something. It's quite nice. So what's up?" Remus showed Lily his conversation with Rose from earlier.
"Oh my god, what a dick move? Honestly!"
"Lils it's alright honestly....because I kind of felt the same. In fact...I may have...asked Sirius out..." Remus said quietly.
"YOU WHAT?!?" Lily exclaimed.
"I asked Sirius out...and he said yes. And he's kind of my boyfriend now."
Lily mumbled something. Remus couldn't really tell what it was.
"What did you say?"
"I hate you and you're making my life a living hell." Lily screamed into a pillow.
Remus smiled, sure he sort of had his heart broken, but Sirius was quite attractive and with his realization tonight, he was looking forward for what came tomorrow.
