He was certain he never would get used to the feeling of Sirius' caresses no matter small they might be, and consequently, he didn't know what else to do than the reciprocate the touch by leaning in closer to Sirius.<br/>No matter how much he loved Sirius, being affectionate in public still made Remus' heart rate quicken. Holding hands with a bloke might result in being far more incriminating than his scarred face, but, not wanting to let go of the other's hand, Remus stepped closer, his shoulder briefly brushing against Sirius' as they continued down the street.<br/>Remus' eyes hand found their hands for a moment, but now managed to look forward as he muttered a small and genuine, "I'm proud of you, Pads."
