Remus felt like a kid again, looking at Sirius as it he was the sun. In any other context it would be pitiful, just how easily Remus had been caught in Sirius' orbit. There was such validation in being able to capture Sirius' interest, no matter how fleeting or superficial it might be. In fact, Remus felt quite certain he would have disappeared from Sirius' memory by tomorrow, if not sooner.<br/>He so wished he was bold enough to say anything to prolong that.<br/>Sirius had made Remus' heart soar, and he wanted to think that Sirius would be equally pleased to meet him, if Remus were to give him the chance to get to know him again. He was, however, not sure he could stand that.<br/>After all, there wasn't anything preventing Sirius from rejecting Remus once over, on the same grounds as he had rejected him a decade prior. It made Remus' stomach knot up, certain he wouldn't be able to withstand seeing that look of disappointment in Sirius' eye.<br/>So, Remus decided, maybe this really was enough. He had spent his entire youth being greedy with Sirius' affection, tripping over himself to win his approval. Now that he had, so easily and unexpectedly, it really would be for the better to take it, relish it, and close that chapter of his life.<br/>"I'll get out of your hair, then," he said, far before his heart had caught up to the decision.<br/>His smile had dulled slightly over his pause, his heart feeling heavy with melancholy, but at the end of the day, greatly appreciative of Sirius. And, after all, Remus suddenly knew where to find him.<br/>"It was really good meeting you, Sirius."<br/>Remus' smile widened in saying his name, familiar in the best way, before turning and leaving the car.
