“How do you know you like someone?”
That made him look up from his book and right to his friend, he was sitting by a tree, and Sirius just laying down beside him, while Peter and James were playing a one-to-one football match.
“What do you mean ‘how do you know’? You’ve never liked anyone?”
Sirius stared at the sky for a moment and then looked back at Remus
Unbelievable, the Sirius Black. He had his own fandom at school, how come he never liked any girl?
“Well” he wet his lips “umm, you… I guess, first of all, you find them pretty, like really pretty, and you feel weird when you look at them, like all nervous, you don’t really know what to say, afraid of messing it up, get all red from embarrassment; you wanna see them all the time, wanna tell them everything first, look for excuses to talk to them or hang out”
Sirius nodded lost in thought for a moment
“You’ve never felt that way for anyone?”
He saw his friend frowning before looking back at him and shake his head
“No, I mean, following that list, the first person I come to when I have a problem, when I’m happy about something or when I have news is you, even before James now” he snorted “and I do find you very pretty, but I don’t feel embarrassed or afraid to tell you something, it’s… actually very calm being with you, also I don’t need a reason to hang out with you, I just do, so…” he shrugged gazing at him and made a funny face smirking and quirking an brow “well, talking about getting all red, Moony you look like an apple, so what? You like me?” and burst out laughing before turning around as Peter called them. “Anyway, forget I asked, I was just curious, but thanks though, I’ll keep your list in mind”
He stood up, shrugged the grass from his knees and turned towards Peter and James
“Wait up! I’m in!”, shouted back before jogging away
And Remus could only look his way with a burning face and mouth agape, because Sirius Black had just said he was pretty
