coming out

remus was sat, innocently reading a book about butterflies and their beautiful colous and patterns- he was living his best life. as he was the only one in the household of six without a phone, he didn't bother question when lily walked into the room (not that he actually noticed her in the first place), and placed her phone on the dining rooms polished window sill before coming over to stand beside the chair remus was sat in, facing the phone with an intent look on her face.

the male looked up from the book when a song he had once heard lily singing very badly and out of tune in the shower before coming from the phone, "what are you-" he furrowed his brows as he looked at the phone, which he then realised was on a camera mode. he quickly stood, wanting to exit the frame and not be part of this scheme lily had planned, but instead tripped, and fell straight onto the floor, falling onto sirius, who was for some reason laying face down on the ground, "i hate everyone in this house, i swear to christ."

lily in the background was laughing her ass off, "fuck yeah, im posting this. moony looks scared shitless when he fell over, and when he sits up and sirius is with him, this'll get some sick views." the red-haired girl was grinning as she typed away franticly on her phone.

sirius clapped remus on the shoulder as they both stood, "poor remmy." he said, shaking his head in sarcastic-sadness, "the lanky bean fell over. don't forget to put 'moonys a lanky bean' in the caption of that video, lils"

"lanky bean?" remus asked, but was ignored, "also james can you get that camera out of my fucking face before i hit you in the face." he groaned, turning to face james. and when the other did not comply, he said, "im going to go see peter th- hOLY FUCK."

it turns out that the reason james did not turn the camera on his phone off was because he had gotten dorcas to come and scare the living daylights out of him, which remus did not appreciate at all. so, he expressed his sadness by pouting and ignoring the others, arms crossed as he slouched down onto the dinning room chair he was previously sat on.

"damn, one girl just commented saying, 'moony's the guy with the book? wow what a fitty, i would love his number, winky face,'" lily said suddenly, after a few minutes conversation between dorcas and james about how sick that jump-scare to remus was, "remus will be getting all the ladys by the end of the day, 'oo does he have his own tiktok? id love to see that.' what a ladys man."

remus shrugged, "pass your phone here, lils, i wanna do something with this tiktok thingy real quick." he, surprisingly enough, was quite nervous for what he was about to do. lily handed him the phone, and remus clicked on the person who had sent the first comment lily had read out, to reply to it. he wrote, 'im sure you wouldn't want my number, i'm not much of a lady man. i swing more for the guys you know. -moony' and as he had not come out to the others in the house, he was sure that lily would see the comment. and maybe that wasn't the worst thing, as it would save him from having to keep the secret.

he passed the phone back to lily and silently waited.

silently until, "remus you're gay?!" was exclaimed by lily, and now sirius, james, dorcas and lily were all looking at him intently, "but you act so,,, staright?" 

sirius snorted.

"ive been asked out by 9 girls and turned them all down, did that not give you a hint at all?" remus replied, making an it-was-obvious face, "you're thick in the brain, lils."

"i just thought you hadn't found the right gal!" the woman exclaimed in reply, completely ignoring the laughs from sirius and james from beside her.

remus pinched the bridge of his nose before saying, "i clearly haven't found the right man either, or i would have told you i was as straight as the tires on sirius' motorcycle," he frowned, shrugging his shoulders, gently.

"well. i can help you there." remus died because, he kids you not, lily winked (although rather disturbingly) at him.
