Sirius actually laughed at that, knowing that he hadn’t exactly briefed Remus on his family situation, not even when he demanded drinks celebrating his mother’s death, but he also knew that Remus was a smart guy and probably had been able to work it out.<br/>“Went and disowned me, didn’t they?” He stated with a shrug, the broken heart he had had about it long healed by now. He knew that they had never actually been his family, even if they happened to share blood, and he had his own kind of familial bonds now, better ones at that as well.<br/>“Haven’t seen any of them since I started my masters, and I prefer to keep it this way,” he stated, letting one leg dangle from the window sill as he watched Remus. He couldn’t see a lot of his flatmate, being hidden mostly behind his bed, but it was enough that Sirius felt that they were actually having a proper conversation.<br/>“‘Cause like, you know I’m gay, right?” He felt the need to elaborate, suddenly feeling uncharacteristically nervous about the entire thing. It was unlikely that Remus was going to mind, but it also made him realised just how rarely he said it out loud and how foreign the words felt on his lips.
