Choice
(Remus Lupin)
~Master~
A/N: This is going to be my new format for posts that aren’t series/requests lmfao. I was lowkey considering not posting this, so like how bad was this? Should this of stayed a draft?
Sirius was flirting with Marlene again. You shouldn’t have been watching, but Merlin it hurt so much. You didn’t know when this obsession with him started but your feelings of affections towards Sirius had definitely changed. It was, however, disheartening that Sirius never expressed any difference in talking to you than he had any other person at Hogwarts.
“What makes Marlene so special?” You mumbled under your breath and slumped into your propped-up hand, refusing to look away from the boy just across the room. You heard Remus laugh under his breath, but you didn’t care. “I’m serious Moony, why is he always flirting with her?”
“Would you rather he flirts with someone else?” Remus asked rhetorically as he continued to flip through the potion book you and him were supposed to be going through at the moment.
You groaned, leaning back on the chair to finally pay Remus the attention you should’ve. “I’d rather he flirts with no one, thank you very much.” Your face scrunched as you heard Marlene’s laugh echo in the room and you slumped down into your seat. “Or he could at least flirt with me.”
Remus peaked a brow as he looked at you through his eye lashes, not moving his head when he cleared his throat. “You want him to flirt with you?”
You glared at him playfully. “Have you not seen me fancying him for the last few months?” Remus didn’t answer. Course he’d seen you or even heard you gushing about Sirius. You weren’t being discreet in any way, talking about his ‘luscious locks’ or his ‘rebel personality’. Remus was beginning to wonder if you were the same Y/N he befriended years ago.
“Can we just get back to work please? I’d like to finish this before it’s due.” Remus smiled at you and you rolled your eyes with a laugh, not unfamiliar with Remus’ sass.
“Fine, but you’ve been reading that page for 15 minutes.” You reached across the table, snatching the book from in front of Remus before starting to read. Remus watched you, your eyes scanning the pages briefly before flipping the page again and again until you finally found what you needed. You lifted your head, seeing Remus waiting for you before you tossed the open book in front of him. “Found it and it only took me… 3 minutes?” You smirked as Remus let out a mocking laugh, not mad at all you had found the answer to your potion problem.
You let your eyes wander as Remus read the page you needed and soon you were looking at Sirius and Marlene again. You couldn’t help it. He was still in full blown flirt mode as you sighed. “Just once I want someone to choose me because they want me.” You admitted sheepishly to your best friend whose head picked up to see you staring again. Remus’ stomach dropped as your eyes turned sad.
“Y/N.” Remus said softly to get your attention. There wasn’t a smile on his face when you turned to him, seeing him as sad as you were. “You’re someone’s choice.”
You tried to smile at him, to be happy, but the smile never reached your eyes. “I know. But I don’t mean as I second choice, you know.” You played with your hands in front of you, too embarrassed to meet Remus’ eyes. “I want to be the choice.”
Remus just stared at you. You were about to speak before he let out a hurt laugh. “What about me?” he asked.
“What?” you furrowed your brows, seeing Remus’ jaw lock as he looked down to the table.
“I’m not even a choice to you, am I?” His words were whispers and you had to admit, you were confused. What was he talking about?
“Remus, I-“
“Forget it.” He cut you off, snapping the book in front of him close as you jumped at the sound. He grabbed his pack before standing up, shoving his books inside as you stayed confused. “I forgot I have to...” his words slowed, obvious he was making up an excuse as he refused to tell you the truth “I have to go.”
“Remus, wait!” Your words didn’t stop Remus though as he almost ran out of the room, not even gracing you a glance back. You sat confused as you tried to piece together what had just happened.
What about him? Remus wanted to be a choice?
Remus wanted to be a choice.
Oh.
