The rejection was far too much for Sirius to handle, especially considering the fact that he had loved Remus for so many years now that he didn’t even know how to not love him. It was just a natural part of interacting with him, so the mere suggestion was ridiculous to him.<br/>“Shut up,” he simply stated, the softness of his voice undermining the harshness of his words. He gently ran his thumb across Remus’ cheekbone, barely able to fathom the fact that he even got to hold him like this and for so long too.<br/>“Just shut the hell up,” he repeated finding that his hands were pulling Remus closer to him on their own account, making it painfully hard to not kiss him.<br/>For once in his life, he decided to not fight the urge, an urge that was like an old friend to him by now, and leant in to finally kiss Remus, as he had wanted to do so many times in the past.
