More than anything else, Sirius was just left confused, because he had been convinced that Remus had wanted him only seconds ago, but the fact that he didn’t want any reciprocation almost made Sirius feel nauseous. He had no way of know what it was really about, but he truly doubted that it was the fact that Remus had school tomorrow.<br/>The tenderness of their last kiss only served to confuse Sirius even more, desperately wanting to much more from their interaction but clearly Remus didn’t want that from him. His confidence about their situation, how kind and tender Remus had been and how Sirius had been convinced that this was more than a hookup, suddenly stood on shaky ground and he felt like the biggest fool.<br/>Obviously, Remus was smarter than being with someone like Sirius and that was clear to him now.
