Sirius had been in the process of gathering his notes when Remus spoke again. It took him a moment to properly connect the dots, finding that most of the night before had seemed like a fever dream, but he now had to face the fact that it had all been very real.<br/>Remus’ statement still brought a smile to his lips though, glad that Remus didn’t feel like he had to hide behind shame to make it more appropriate.<br/>“You have no reason to be,” Sirius stated, wanting Remus to know that he didn’t think that he should be ashamed either. After all, while many might give a stronger side eye to what Remus was doing, then Sirius was also convinced that no one was going to look kindly on what<span style="font-style: italic">he</span>was doing either.<br/>He wanted to add something, speak a proper reassurance to his flatmate, but when he turned he saw Remus smile and it made him weak to his knees. Even now, it wasn’t really hard to imagine how Remus would be able to make a living like that and Sirius was overwhelmed by feelings that he didn’t want to name.<br/>Instead he just kept smiling.
