When the Star Fell in Love With the Moon

How to Not Tell Him Ur in Love w Him

Remus returned in the morning but the tension between him and Sirius was palpable, it hung heavy in the air around them and no one wanted to talk about the elephant in the room.
In fact, Sirius and Remus barely talked the rest of the week. Remus kept avoiding Sirius into odd hours of the night and whenever they were together, it was just awkward silence.
Tonight, Sirius had had enough. The full moon was tomorrow and he missed Remus, so he set out to find him after dinner. I didn't take him long as Remus hadn't gone far. Sirius found him lying face down on his bed, he cleared his throat awkwardly.

"Hey Remus.."

No response.

"You okay?"

Remus still didn't respond, his thoughts were a mess.

No I'm not okay!  I've just spent the last few days trying to avoid you because I no longer know how to be around you!
My stupid fucking crush on you has gotten so bad that not only did I almost kiss you but I've now convinced myself that you wanted to kiss me as well!

Remus knew he couldn't avoid Sirius forever but with the full moon being so close, he was drawn to self isolation. Plus he had read one to many books to believe Sirius could actually like him, he knew how easy it was to convince yourself of things that aren't real...

But of course he couldn't tell Sirius that.

Remus heard Sirius get closer.

"Remus? You awake?" He whispered

"Yes you idiot, Leave me alone" Remus groaned and flipped over.

Sirius looked a little taken aback but didn't listen and stayed.

"Are you feeling alright? Erm I know the moon is close" Sirius shuffled awkwardly.

So much for time alone..
What does he want with me?

"Well I feel like proper shit so good job noticing the obvious." Remus said looking up at the ceiling, he couldn't look at Sirius right now. He knew hew as being a bit curt with him, even though he shouldn't be.

He doesn't deserve this and I can't ignore him forever, it's just..

Remus glanced over at him. Sirius was still standing there, silent. He was fumbling nervously with the edge of his shirt. The regret and guilt of seeing Sirius nervous like this hit Remus like a tidal wave. He hated seeing Sirius upset in any manner. This time he was the one who caused it.

Shit..

I'm being mean..

Remus groaned

You need to fix this

"Look Sirius, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be avoiding you and I'm sorry for being so rude"

Sirius seemed to straighten up a bit at Remus's apology. The main thing bogging his mind now was why.

Why have you been avoiding me though?

I don't need to be told twice to know that I'm annoying...

But..

"It's okay, um. I know I fucked up when I... I.. uh you know.. so..I'm sorry I don't really know what happened there um haha." Sirius laughed awkwardly.

Liar

Remus didn't know what to say.

So I wasn't imagining that then?

Omg

He actually was going to kiss me?!

Again?!
