Remus sighed. He was sat in the hallway of his house, thinking. Roman passed him, nearly tripping over Remus in the process. Roman looked down, surprised. "What's up, bro?" Remus fiddled with his jacket. "Dee's coming round tonight and... well, he doesn't know yet." Roman came close and patted his shoulder comfortingly. "You'll tell him when you're ready." Remus nodded. "You're right. Thanks, Ro." Remus grabbed his bag and headed out the door, hoping the long walk to school would somewhat clear his head.

The day rushed by, and soon enough Dee was walking home with the twins. "Are you sure your mom doesn't mind, Dee?" Deceit smiled warmly. "Remuss, I've told you a million times, yes."
And oh, Dee's smile. The way he would smile shyly, showing off the glint of his sharp teeth, made Remus melt inside. They made small talk as they walked, finally reaching the front door. Roman burst in dramatically as soon as he set foot over it. "We're homeee!"
Dee stared. "Is he always like this?"
Remus rolled his eyes good - naturedly. "Unfortunately, yes." Dee laughed lightly and Remus felt his cheeks heat up; the sound was music to his ears. "You wanna come see my room?" Dee smiled again and slipped his hand into Remus'. "It'd be my pleasure. Lead the way."

Remus' whole face was rivaling a Solanum Lycopersicum by now. 'He's holding my hand stay calm he's holding my hand Dee is holding my hand-' Remus went into what could only be described as Gay Panic. He really hoped his palm wasn't sweating. Remus brought him up to a room with a lime green door, sketches of octopi and sea life carved into it. Deceit ran his free hand over them in awe. "Did you make these?"
Remus smiled and nodded. "Yeah. It's calming for me." He pushed the door open and plopped down on his spinny chair, spinning round agressively. Dee observed the room and neatly sat on the edge of his bed. "What do you wanna do, Snakey?" Dee hummed. "I don't mind. We could, perhaps... kill Roman?" He raised an eyebrow. Remus grinned and played along with him. Remus gasped. "I mean... I would... but it might make a mess on the carpet." Deceit grimaced. "Understandable." He came to sit beside Remus on his desk.
"Or we could write some juicy fanfiction." Dee teased. Remus grinned and shoved him a little. "Give over! Y-"

He was interrupted by a gentle knock on the door. Remus' mom entered, a thin brunette woman. "Hiya!" She smiled at Dee. "Who's your friend, Renee?"

Remus' whole expression changed. A red taint overcame his cheeks as he fumbled with his hands in his lap. He couldn't quite maintain eye contact with Dee as he stuttered. "It's D- d."

Dee hated watching Remus squirm uncomfortably.
"Dee. I'm Dee." Deceit plastered a smile on his face and stuck a hand out for her to shake. She giggled.
"He's awfully nice isn't he? Alright, have fun Renee!" She shut the door as she exited. (Unrealistic lmao)

Dee turned to Remus. "Ree?" Remus was furiously wiping at tears in the corners of his eyes. Dee spoke quietly, squeezing his hand. "Re." Remus faced him. "Are you?" Dee trailed off. Remus sniffed and nodded. "Trans? Yeah. I am." Dee nodded. "That's okay. I don't see you any different, 'Mus."
Remus leaned in and hugged him gratefully. Dee patted his back gently. "I'm only out to Roman." Remus explained. Dee nodded quietly as he thought. "I'll be there with you, if you want. When it's time to tell them." Dee offered. Remus shook his head. "They won't be accepting." He muttered, kicking at an empty bottle on the floor below his chair. Dee swung his legs from where he was seated on the desk, cocking his head. "Yes they will!" Remus narrowed his eyebrows. "Fine. It's a deal. We'll have a bet." Dee raised an eyebrow. "Okay. What are the terms?"

Remus hummed in thought. "Got it. If they aren't accepting, I get to eat half of your lunch. For a month." Dee smirked. "You're so greedy." Remus grinned. "Like you're one to talk."
"That was one time! And the lunch lady hates me." Remus laughed, feeling a bit better already. "Fine. What's your end of the deal?"
Dee smirked and looked away in thought. Seconds later, he turned back to Remus. "I get to take you on a date."
Remus' mouth dropped open, cheeks aflame. "A date? As in-?"
"You heard me."
"B-"
"Dinner's ready!" Came the shout of the twins' mother. Dee looked to Remus with an eyebrow raised. "Come on then. The food's going to go cold."
Remus flushed. "Oh, right. Yeah. Um. Dinner." Dee linked their arms and walked him downstairs.
Inevitably, it came the time where Dee had to leave. Remus pouted. "I'm gonna miss you." Deceit leaned forward and pressed a kiss to Remus' cheek. "I'll miss you too." He promised, before leaving behind a very flustered Remus.

Timeskip to coming out!!😌✌

Dee stood with Remus, clasping his hand as his parents looked at them. "Well, honey? What is it?" Queried Remus' mom. Remus took a deep breath. "I'm transgender. Meaning I don't go by Renee anymore. I'm Remus, and it's he/him."
There was silence as his parents tried to process it. And then Remus' mom smiled, tears springing to her eyes. "Oh, of course, darling. Anything that makes you comfortable. Is there anything we can do?"
Dee stepped back and let Remus talk with his parents.
When they were done, Remus' mom pulled him and Dee into a hug. "I'm so proud of you, Re." Remus' dad spoke. Remus' mom pulled back, kissing Dee's forehead. "You take good care of my son, okay?"
"Cya, Remus!" Called out Remus' dad as Dee started to drag him away.

"Where are we going?" Dee smiled. "The bet was that I take you on a date, was it not?"
"Now?"
"When else?" Dee retorted.
Remus blushed. "Okayyy. Where are we going?"
Deceit smirked again. "I'm afraid that's confidential."
Remus groaned and let Dee drag him through town. Eventually, the sounds of cars began to fade away, replaced by bugs and birds chirping. Remus impatiently snapped his eyes open, gasping. They were in a wide open park, bright green grass surrounding them, a myriad of radiant flowers blooming at their feet.
"Dee, this is - wow." Remus garbled, taking it all in. Dee pulled at his glove. "I thought you'd like it."
"Oh, Dee, I could just kiss you!"
A brief moment of silence allowed Remus to take in what he'd just said.
Dee smiled, a predatory grin, as he crept closer to Remus, who's heart was practically beating out of his chest as his face grew warmer.
"Oh, could you, now?"
Dee stopped right in front of Remus' face, just enough to take in his features.

And their lips met.

Ahh this was such a fun one!! I hope y'all enjoyed this as much as I did writing it :)
