So real
Rereading the Remus quidditch commentary scene in all the young dudes to feel happy again after the crimson rivers update today
"you're pretty," sirius says lazily, his fingers tangled in remus' curls; he doesn't know how to respond to that.
he doesn't think he's pretty. his nose is too big and crooked, his eyebrows are too thick, his face is uneven; his mouth and eyes are too big for his face, he has acne scars and of course, the ones he hates. he never was pretty, not even as a child, and he never wished to be. he considered beauty subjective, but it was a truth that he wasn't beautiful.
however, when he's with sirius, he can't help but feel so. he's with sirius, who makes everything seem so beautiful; sirius, who's as imperfect as he is. neither of them is perfect; and maybe that was important, maybe that was what made them who they were, that they saw the beauty in what they considered ugly, that they loved the "unlovable".
they're sitting on the floor of the ruins of the castle in remus' hometown, sirius' back pressed against the wall, remus' head in his lap. he looks up and he meets grey eyes and a straight nose, and he smiles. he sits up; they're at approximately the same level now, and amber blends into silver, and that, that, the place where remus ends and sirius begins and the place where neither knows who exactly is who, that is beautiful.
"you're pretty, too, sirius." he needn't have said that; it was one of those all-known truths, the ones written in books, the one that stars know, too.
sirius hums, and kisses him. he's beautiful; they both are.

Sirius: ...did we just lock Wormtail in the car?
Remus: did you put the keys in the bag?
Sirius: I put the keys in the bag!!
James: dude, moony told you not to put the keys in the bag!
Sirius: [knocking on the window] Peter! It's okay!
James: ...a-b-c-d-e-f-g...
Remus: wha-are you singing to him? People get ARRESTED for this, Prongs!
Sirius: [pulling the door handle] h-i-j-k..
James: ELLA-MELLA-PEE- wait, do all four doors lock?
Sirius: I'M BREAKING THE WINDOW!
Remus: [on the phone with Lily] help we lost Peter in the car and people are judging us!!
Sirius: I SWEAR TO MERLIN I'M GOING TO BREAK IT-
James: do not break it!! You'll get glass on him.
Lily, on the phone: okay, Remus. Tell Marlene to calm down, I'm on my way.
Remus: Marlene isn't here. It's James and Sirius.
James: [crying] DON'T WORRY PETER!
Sirius: DON'T WORRY, WORMY. JAMES IS COMING FOR YOU!
