“Prongs?”

“Yeah, Padfoot?”

“What… what would you do if I told you I loved you?”

Pause.

“As a friend?”

“No. More than that.”

“Oh.”

Pause.

“I’d say that I’m honored. That I’m really happy you care about me that much. But…”

Pause.

“I don’t feel the same.”

“Oh. Alright.”

Pause.

”Do you… do you feel that way, Sirius?”

“What? No, I don’t, I just— I just, you know, got curious. Someone… someone said that to me, earlier, and I just…”

“Wanted to know how somebody else would react?”

Pause.

“Yeah, I get it. Good luck on the potions test.”

“Yeah.”

”He doesn’t feel the same.”

Pause.

“Oh.”

Pause.

“Sirius, I—”

“I’m so fucking tired.”

“I know. C’mere.”

Pause.

“Tis’ better to have loved and lost.”

“What?”

“I read it somewhere, Moony. I… got reminded of it.”

Pause.

“It doesn’t really feel better.”

“Yeah. Never does.”

“…Have you been… rejected? Before?”

“Not yet. Not directly.”

Pause.

“But I know they love someone else. Someone better.”

“They told me. They talk to me, a lot. About that person.”

“Oh, Moony, I…”

Pause.

“That… sucks.”

“Yeah. Get some sleep, Sirius. We got a busy day tomorrow.”
