Sirius is singing a romantic song, but Remus only thinks about kissing him, bc he is a weak man and chained to his desires 🥹

"...and the last and most essential step.."

Slughorn was droning on and on. James had lost interest long ago, staring off into the distance, trailing his quill on his paper in random doodles as he allowed his mind to wander to much more pleasant topics. Topics he couldn't help but obsess over as of late.

Dark hair. Piercing grey eyes. A grumpy frown.

He wasn't paying attention.

Which is why he was truly socked when he gazed down to his own paper and saw the words RegulusRegulusRegulus scrawled over and over across his notes.

Fuck.

He glanced to his right at Sirius, but thankfully his best friend looked just as zoned out, so he quickly turned the page and dropped his quill before resuming his day dream.

Staring off into space, Sirius allowed himself ample time to think about Remus's eyes. What color were they, exactly? Brown, obviously. But brown like the trunk of a tree? Brown like mahogany?

He turned to James to ask him, only to see his friend also daydreaming, doodling in his notebook.

Sirius nearly snorted aloud at the sight, biting at his lip hard to keep quiet. James had always been obvious, but this took the cake.

Wait! Cake! Like, chocolate cake! Remus's eyes were brown like chocolate!

He began to stare off again, once again picturing Remus's eyes.

Ok but think about knowingly off putting little brother regulus and obliviously supportive older brother Sirius who still get along so Sirius excitedly introduces his wonderful brother to his friends and is just completely unaware of how regulus is purposefully freaking them out and much it’s working, like

Regulus: … your animagus form is a stag right?

James: how… how do you know that?

Regulus: I know a lot of things, is it a stag?

James: uh, yeah?

Regulus: cool. Have you shed your antlers yet?

James: … what 😀

Regulus: deer shed their antlers every year. It’s really gruesome, look *shows him a picture from a book* you should tell me how it feels when it happens.

James: 😟

-Later-

Sirius: isn’t he great? 😊

James, fidgeting with his head where his antlers are in his animagus form: yeah… yeah he’s something…

Man I wish gay people were real
