The roughness with which Remus was holding him made Sirius’ breath hitch in his throat and made his grip on Remus tighten. The kiss made Sirius’ head spin, barely able to believe that he actually got to kiss Remus again after having been without it for so long.<br/>However, the kiss didn’t measure up to hearing Remus actually say that he loved him. He knew that it was true and that they both had been loving each other for so long, but actually hearing it said like that made Sirius’ head spin, barely able to believe that all of this was actually happening to him.<br/>“Moony, I love you so much,” he said in a soft voice, tears still falling from his eyes, even as the sobs ceased. Feeling Remus’ arms around him and being close to him was almost too much for him to take, but he also knew that the idea of being away from Remus wasn’t an option.<br/>He leant his forehead against Remus’, his eyes closing softly as he breathed in the scent of Remus. He just wanted to be close to him and never let go of him again. “I know and I love you.”
