A high sea adventure

What is the right option?

The sun was now up and Remus had come up to the window as normal and thought he would see Sirius at the window but saw that he wasn't Remus was a bit confused about where Sirius was since Remus knew he was always near the window in the window but it took a bit for Remus to hear Sirius crying so he would speak a bit louder hoping that Sirius would hear the mermaid "Sirius are you okay?" Sirius would look up and take his head out of his hands he would notice Remus right away so he would quickly go over to the window and once he was over at the window he wiped away his tears right away "Yeah I'm fine Remus. Why are you asking?" Remus was now leaning on the window seal like he normally does "You weren't at the window and I heard you crying so I was wondering if you were okay." Sirius sighed a tiny bit "I talked to James earlier about what happened and it got bad I told him to get out...and I just lost it okay but I'm fine now I am Remus.

Remus was about to ask Sirius something else but Sirius had already left the window to get the potion Remus looked a bit confused about what Sirius was doing until he came back to the window with the potion smiling a bit so Remus would ask Sirius about it "What is that Sirius?" Sirius looked at Remus "Oh it's a potion I got it made earlier in the day yeah I went into the other part of town. It's for you of course!" Remus was quite shocked and surprised by this "You didn't need to do this Sirius..." Sirius would smile a bit "Well I did because I want you to be safe and also that you can be in the human world but keep on being in the world that you know well!" Remus was even more surprised "Wait you were able to get a human turn into a mermaid potion made!?" Sirius would nod his head to Remus while nodding "Yes I did!" Remus looked Sirius in the eyes "How!?" Sirius would stop nodding his head and his smile went "Well...I also have three cousins who are witches but also sirens so they were able to make it for me..." Remus could tell that Sirius didn't like talking about his cousins or anyone from his family so he wouldn't ask any further.

Sirius decided to say something "So are you going to take it?" Remus wasn't sure to take the potion "I'm not too sure...I know there are a lot of reasons why I should take the potion...but I'm just not sure that is all..." Sirius sighed a tiny bit "Yeah I get it, it's hard for you and I understand that but I would be so happy if you do because you will be living with me if you do take the potion, and when you are a human Remus...." Remus was completely shocked "Wait you mean that...?" Sirius looked at Remus "Of course...I care for you so much Remus and I want you to see the world that I know so well and have someone by my side...other than James..." Remus was trying to get his head around all of this he didn't know what to say at all to what Sirius was trying to say or a sign of something but he didn't know what at all. Remus just stared at Sirius before he said "I need some time to process all of this but when I have I will make up my mind also if there are any other drawbacks and effects in the potion because I just don't want to take the potion and don't know how this could affect me in general Sirius. Okay?" Sirius stared back at Remus "Yeah I get it because I'm just putting this all on you without you well you know..." Remus smiles a tiny bit at Sirius "Yeah...so I'm happy that you understand I need time and I'm happy that you are not rushing me and making me this decision in the process..." Sirius smiles back at Remus "Of course...I don't want you to feel that way or anything like that I am trying...in all ways..."

Remus knew that there was a reason why Sirius did all of this to him but Remus just couldn't figure out why before he could even ask the reason why Sirius noticed the time "I need to go I'm so sorry Remus! I need to get out of these clothes and change because I need to meet Marlene about something then go and see how the process of the ship is going I think it is nearly done! I will make it up to I swear I will!" Remus would then just sigh a bit "Alright then..." Sirius would then leave the window and go upstairs to get changed out of the black outfit he has been wearing for a good while now while Remus was leaning there at the window seal.

Remus didn't know how to feel about any of this it was only because he had never been this cared about that's the thing he knew that was a good reason why Sirius was caring about him this much making sure that people didn't know that Remus was the mermaid and putting everyone the line for him so Remus felt so confused about it all he was trying his best to understand this but then he hears the knock at the door of Sirius' house so Remus would quickly go into the window and out of sight. Remus was now in the ocean he could hear his heart racing and he was blushing a bit. Did Remus like the rush? Or the thought that he didn't want Sirius to get caught? Or worse? He then shakes his head quickly he then sighs a bit "I'm probably just overthinking all of this...but what if I'm not...? Ugh! This is so confusing right now! I don't know how to feel about this whole situation and my feelings for Sirius!" Remus just sat there in the ocean while trying to process what Sirius said and everything else that had happened he just didn't know what to do at all he just felt lost and confused at this moment at this time and Remus knew that something was just up and knew he had the decision to make for sure.
