Regret pt.I [flashback]
“Moony, you don't understand, I-”
“Don't you dare fucking call me that!” Remus’ voice was rough and loud as he yelled. Every bit of anger he held back was being let out in one harsh fatal blow. “You have no Goddamn right to call me that. After all this? All that you've done? Are you fucking proud, Sirius? You genuinely have no clue what you've cost me, do you? I spent so long, too long, thinking you were different. I actually thought you didn't think I was the monster they made me out to be. I thought you might have actually loved me. I loved you, Sirius, but you hurt me. You hurt everyone around you. You hurt worse than any spell ever could and nothing you can say will change that. You mindlessly treat people like crap and expect them to come flocking to you. I'm done with your childish fucking games. I'm done with your senseless pride and self-pity. I'm done forgiving you and pretending like you didn't do anything wrong! So, I do understand, Sirius. I understand far better than you ever will. You're no better than your fucking mother.”
Sirius stood off, taking a few steps back. Remus’ expression stayed consistent with resentment. Remus’ glare shot a million knives through Sirius. If Sirius didn't know before, he knew know just with the look Remus had that there was no fixing this. He ruined everything. The part that hurt the most was that Remus was right. Remus was right, and this time the damage was irreversible. The silence that built up in the room only made it worse.
A few words had ruined everything. A few words had torn everything apart until there was nothing left but dust and ash. Remus left Sirius that night without looking back. Their relationship was ruined and lost for what seemed like forever. Anything they had was gone and all Sirius could do was drag forward.
Remus’ words echoed in Sirius’ head,
“I loved you,”
