Sirius nods his assent, and the boys walk in. Even though it's warm in the bar, when Sirius pulls away, Remus feels a chill. He knows it's awful for him if he ever wants to get over Sirius, but all he wants to do is get closer to him.

Sirius smiles. "You were staring."
Remus abruptly looks away. "Sorry."
"No," Sirius reaches out and touches Remus's hand on the table between them. "It's okay."

"I'll go get us butterbeers," he mumbles. He stalks off to the bar so fast he doesn't see the crestfallen look on Sirius's face.
