Remus blows out a deep breath and rests his forehead against Sirius', the both of them breathing together for a moment. "I don't know what's going on in your head. You already cast the patronus. I saw it. What are you so scared of?"

"Me," Sirius confesses in a whisper. "Aren't you, Remus?"

"I'm not scared of you, Sirius," Remus says softly, practically speaking against his mouth.

Yes, well, Remus is very aware that he's being stupid about Sirius. He always is. He always has been, so this isn't really a new thing, honestly. At this point, he's used to it.

"Because not everyone is you, Sirius. Not everyone can be like you. Not everyone is brave the way you are, and some of us are fucking scared, alright?" Regulus snaps.

"I love you. I'm so in love with you," James declares breathlessly between quick kisses, sounding dazed.

"It was worth it," Regulus mutters, looking away again. He gently drags his thumb over James' jaw. "Everything with you was always worth it."

"Nothing makes me want to burn the world like the thought of losing you," James says softly.

"I won't—I won't do it," Regulus chokes out, his lips trembling as the tears start to spill over. "I won't—not when I've wanted you since I knew what it was to want at all."

James releases a deep, shaky breath as he blinks rapidly. his mind feeling like it's limping a little, a bit wounded. His voice is a harsh croak as he says, "I just never feel like I'm enough."

screaming, crying, in pain-- 😃

"Well, what is being queer?" Remus murmurs, and they all stare at him. "I just mean, it's not… It's not actions, or choice. It's something we're born with, isn't it?"

"I think it's about—about freedom of the soul," Mary announces, taking a deep breath. "You're right, Remus, it's something that's—that's individual to us, but can bring us together, and there's a freedom in being who you are."

"That may be so, but the reality is, there isn't anything less than nothing. You deserve something real. You deserve more."

"You did enough," Regulus whispers. You're enough; you're more than enough; this is enough, he can't bring himself to say.

"I'm so sorry, Regulus," James whispers back, giving comfort like that's more instinctive than breathing.


this wasn't supposed to hurt 😭
