3: Remus Lupin x Reader ~ The Boy

Key:
Y/N - your name
Y/F/N - you friend's name

You stared off into space. Well, not really. More like you stared at him. The boy with the sandy hair and chocolate brown eyes. The boy with the scars across his face. The boy with the jumpers and the warm smile. And finally, the boy who most definitely did not like you back.

"Y/N!" you heard someone say. It was Y/F/N, the girl you'd been friends with since you came to Hogwarts. You blinked.

"Huh?" you said.

"Caught you staring again." Y/F/N said, smirking at you. Your cheeks burned.

"Yeah, yeah. Shut up." you muttered. You kept looking in his direction. He caught your eye and smiled. The smile that always made your heart soar and butterflies fly around your stomach. Your cheeks burned and you stared at your shoes.

"I think he likes you back." Y/F/N said.

"Yeah, right. As if he'd ever look at me that way."

"He would!"

"Would not."

"Would to."

"Would not."

"Would to."

"Oh quit it, Sirius lover." you said, smirking evilly. Y/F/N's cheeks turned scarlet.

"I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about." she said nervously.

"Oh, I think you know exactly what I'm talking about."

"Errr...I have to go now."

"Go where? To find your true love? Last time I saw him, he was with Remus, James, and Peter."

"Shut it."

The two of you continued to argue playfully. Eventually, James, Remus, Sirius, and Peter came over and talked with both of you for a while.

"Oh, err, Y/F/N, remember that thing I told you we had to do?" Sirius asked.

You looked at Y/F/N suspiciously. She looked confused. Then, a look of realization crossed her face.

"Oh yeah, I remember now. Come on, let's go." she said. Y/F/N and Sirius left.

James nudged Peter.
"Didn't we have detention today?" he asked.

"No, you're Head Boy. You haven't gotten a detention all year." Peter said, confused.

"Didn't you have detention today?" James asked.

"No."

"Yes you did, remember?"

James elbowed Peter in the ribs.

"What—oh, I remember now." Peter squeaked. He rubbed his ribs.

"Let's go." James said, pulling Peter away.

Your heart sped up when you realized that they had left you alone with Remus.

"Uh hi." you said after and awkward silence.

"Hi."

After several attempts to start a conversation, you started to talk more comfortably around him. You mustered up the courage to ask him the question that had been nagging at you for a while now.

"Err...Remus, d'you...fancy someone?"

Your cheeks burned. Remus stared at the fire.

"Yeah, I do."

You gulped and took a deep breath.

"Well, I think you should tell her. You never know. Maybe she fancies you too." you said, forcing a fake smile onto your face.

"Okay, I fancy you Y/N."

"Oh, well—wait what??" Remus smiled at you shyly.

"I fancy you."

It took all of your willpower to not start jumping up and down.

"I fancy you, too."

Remus smiled. You smiled back. Both of you leaned in, and your lips met.
