   "Hey..Sirius.."

Remus watched as Sirius caught up with him at the bus stop. Damn, his heart jumped uncontrollably and the hand holding his umbrella tightened. So, this is what it feels like to walk with your ex.

Why were they walking together anyways ? Sirius needed to get his things from their apartment but the pesky new security guard won't let him in if Remus wasn't there. Believe him, he tried last saturday (perhaps to also avoid meeting Remus.)

Sirius' steps were cautious. Almost like he was thinking everytime he landed his feet. In truth, he wanted to talk to Remus. I mean ex-s don't always have to be enemies, right ?

But he just can't bring himself to say anything. Why did they even break up ?  Was it the continuous fights and Remus suddenly becoming insufferable? Was it because of their schedules who never   gave them time ? 

Sirius had his hands in his sweatshirt pocket. His grey eyes wandered to Remus' hand. Still big, wide with a tint of pink on the tips. He still wore the ring Sirius bought him. Sirius never took  his off too anyways.

Its by habit that Remus knows to slow  his pace when he walks with Sirius. Remus knows how the artist likes to take each moment in. He remembered how Sirius would always tug his coat and say, "Remus, look at the sky its so pretty.."

They walked up the steep hill, making Sirius think. Why did he come to meet him at the bus stop ? Remus could've just waited for him at the lobby ? Sirius' stomach had butterflies. He wasn't complaining.

"So.. H-how are you, Sirius ?"

His name sounded better rolling off Remus' tongue. Sirius shrugged. "Not much really. Been trying to get some publishers, the usual. You ?"

Sirius finally looked up and their eyes met. Fucking hell,Remus thought. His eyes always turn a bit blue under the sunlight. "Same.. Book shop's doing okay. Mrs. Wilson asked where you were."

The rain haven't stopped pouring and Remus bit his brain back from asking Sirius if he wanted to share his umbrella. Its just going to make things more awkward, being close to each other.  Instead Remus just leaned the umbrella closer to Sirius' hooded figure.

Well he had to admit, even if they broke up there will always be a piece of his heart that belonged to Sirius and Sirius only. Maybe he couldn't turn back time and amend his mistakes but he'll try to love him in another way.

"Nothing's changed much huh ?" Sirius looked at the red bricked building.

"Yeah, they said they'd do a renovation... never really got to it."

The 2 entered and headed straight to a silver lift. Did Sirius notice the blush on Remus' ears when their fingers accidentally brushed each other to press the button ? yes.

God, the silence was killing them. Remus' pierced the digital number on top of the lift. His mind trying to telekinesis the silver box to go down slower. Although he knew he didn't have telekinesis and the silence was awkward, he wouldn't change it.

He missed Sirius. That's just how it will be forever.

The lift finally dinged and it opened to James and Lily. The Potters are probably going on their usual afternoon jog. Now with an additional member, baby Harry.

"Hey ! Sirius ! How's it been man?" James let go of Lily's hand and hugged Sirius.

Behind his back, James' eyes asked Remus if they were back together. Remus shook his head in dismay. Lily patted his arm, giving him an understanding smile.
