     "Remmyyyyyyyy, what're your doing?" Sirius said, jumping into the taller boy's lap.
     "Writing." Remus opened his arms, motioning for the other boy to lay across him.
     "Writing what?" Sirius cuddled up to his chest.
     "A poem."
     "Read it to me?"
     "Uhh...I don't know, love...." Remus scanned the pages looking for the right one.
     "Please...."
     "Ugh fine." Remus took a moment, and then began reading line after line.
      "'The moon is split into two
     dark and light
     and I loathe the dark side
     in which I'm encased
     I'm trapped within grey
     secluded in numb and artificial feelings
     I dream of daylight
     of pure streams of serotonin
     and bright joyous colors
     but for now
     I wait in grey
     with the stars
     to keep me light'"
     "Re, that's...depressing...but scarily accurate. I'm so sorry you feel that way."
     "I'm doing better, and now I've got you to help keep me light when I'm in the dark." Remus leaned down and kissed the top of his head. Sirius nuzzled into his chest.
"Sirius!" James yelled through the door, "C'mon we've got detention, remember?" Remus looked at Sirius.
"Why do you have detention?"
Sirius pecked the other boys lips and moved from
his lap, "I hexed snivellous." He said with a shrug and headed out the door.
Remus picked up his phone and texted Rose.

Remus: We aren't a thing right?
Remus: What we're doings not wrong?

Rose: uhhh no?

Remus: then why does it feel like everytime I text you I'm cheating

Rose: i don't know
Rose: but i do too

Remus: This whole thing is complicated

Rose: yea well
Rose: i'm not the one who didn't want to meet

Remus: Rose...

Rose: i know i know
Rose: we didn't know eachother and you're insecure and shit
Rose: i get it
Rose: i'm just saying that it would be easier if we met 

Remus: Look I'm sorry but you said you understood

Rose: and I did
Rose: but when are you going to want to meet?
Rose: a week from now?
Rose: a month?
Rose: a year?
Rose: i can't wait forever moony
Rose: because waiting for you is like waiting for a ghost
Rose: i never know when you're going to show up

Remus: Rose...
Remus: So do you want to stop this then?

Rose: you're just gonna give up like that?
Rose: you're not gonna even fight for us?
Rose: whatever we are?

Remus: What else can I do?
Remus: Because from where I'm standing it seems like you're giving me an ultimatum
Remus: Either we meet or whatever this is is done
Remus: I don't really like either of those options
Remus: But if that's the ultimatum you're giving me
Remus: Then

Remus: Let's meet

Rose: wait really?

Remus: Yeah, I've been thinking about it lately and I think I'm ready to
Remus: It's kind of dumb that I didn't want to for so long
Remus: I think I was afraid that if we met things would go wrong and then I'd lose you
