For a brief moment, Sirius feared that he had disclosed too much, not wanting to make Remus feel that he had pressured him into anything, or that maybe Sirius was putting unnecessary significance into this. Sure, he really did like Remus and would like to see their relationship progress after this, but he was also aware that that might very not be the case and he had made his peace with that.<br/>Thus, it was a relieved when Remus instead simply asked into the tattoos, making Sirius let out a breathy chuckle, the sound caught by Remus’ hand on his bare skin.<br/>It almost felt too intimate to be seen like this, having someone not only see him partially undressed, but also having them understand the references laced deeply into the design, making Sirius feel like he had bared part of his soul with the loss of the shirt.<br/>“They are, yeah” he said with a warm smile, not minding the dig too much, it was impossible to feel really struck by it, when Remus looked at him with such softness and warmth in his eyes.
