[ sirius appreciates it, truly, that remus isn't shying away from this. he's got a propensity for it at times, for shifting subjects or trying to wriggle out of uncomfortable things likely because he's still got some wild notion in his mind that there's anything at all he could do to lose their friendship.
but he's facing this head on like a good, proud gryffindor. on sirius' end, he has to try hard to keep himself from cracking stupid jokes every three seconds to take the weight off of everything. ]
Neither do I.
[ know what's in-between, that is. many people might assume that sirius is a commitment-phobe, but that's not the case as all. he'd be perfectly happy to settle into an exclusive relationship, the catch is that no one he's ever slept with has really kept him. no fault of their own, of course, but sirius keeps waiting for that hook behind the belly that tells him yes, this is right, this is it, but it never comes, and so he remains britain's most eligible bachelor.
he notes that distinction, though, and smiles in a soft sort of way that's uncommon for sirius. lifting his right hand, he gently taps his knuckles beneath remus' chin. ]
But kiss away, if you like. Perhaps we'll figure it out along the way.
