Sirius: good morning my remus

 

Remus: Good morning my Sirius

 

Sirius: hey I just wanna know, did I make you uncomfortable last night when I said ‘you don’t know what I like’?

 

Sirius: I just wanted to make sure I didn’t offend you or anything because, not to be rude, but your texts were a little short and I know that happens when people are uncomfortable so just making sure

 

Sirius: shit sorry I’m rambling

 

Remus: No no no, you didn’t at all I was just thinking about stuff

 

Sirius: oh thank god 

 

Remus: Hey Sirius I’m just wondering, what do you have practice for this morning? Ballet?

 

Sirius: I know you meant that as a joke but I did in fact do ballet for five years growing up

 

Sirius: but I just finished football practice actually

 

Remus: … That’s hot

 

Sirius: i know

 

Sirius: but what do you do in your free time? I feel like you know so much about me but I know nothing about you

 

Remus: Sorry I’m just a very reserved person

 

Sirius: i can’t tell if that’s sarcasm or a genuine sorry

 

Remus: It’s always sarcasm

 

Remus: And to answer your question, I really only read or listen to music. I work at a used bookstore so I spend most of my time there

 

Sirius: nerd

 

Remus: Posh

 

Sirius: wolf

 

Remus: Bitch

 

Sirius: woah

 

Remus: That's not a very good insult

 

Sirius: no i just didn’t know you swear

 

Remus: Oh yeah haha

 

Remus: I mostly just don’t do it over text, only in person

 

Sirius: well i would love to witness that irl

 

Remus: Really?

 

Sirius: well i guess if you only wanted to 

 

Sirius: i was just thinking i would like to meet you because you’re really cool but i totally get it if you’re not comfortable with that because we’ve only known each other for three days 

 

Remus: Weren’t you the guy who said that time doesn’t matter in friendship?

 

Remus: And I would actually really like to meet you in real life

 

Sirius: cool cool cool

 

Remus: I mean I kinda should meet the first person I’ve ever came out to

 

Sirius: wait i was the first person?!

 

Sirius: shit now i feel bad i didn’t give you any credit for that

 

Remus: Its not that big of a deal, really

 

Sirius: yes but one thing you should know about me, i’m very dramatic

 

Remus: Really? I could have never guessed 

 

Sirius: :I

(9:57pm)

 

 

 

Sirius: alice?

 

Alice: yes sirius?

 

Sirius: yknow that guy i was talking to you about in potions yesterday?

 

Alice: ooh yes hot phone boy

 

Sirius: not you too

 

Alice: huh?

 

Sirius: doesn’t matter

 

Sirius: i just need your advice

 

Alice: of course shoot

 

Sirius: so i invited him to my game tomorrow so we can meet and he said he can’t come

 

Sirius: im just wondering do you think im coming off too strong?

 

Alice: didn’t he tell you he would want to meet you?

 

Sirius: well yes but what if he just felt pressured to say he wanted to meet you because i offered it

 

Alice: sirius. 

 

Alice: he has been willingly texting you for the past three days nonstop, he obviously likes you and weather its platonically or romantically, I doubt he would be texting you this much to never want to meet you

 

Sirius: but what if he feels like he has to text me back?

 

Alice: shut up and get out of your head

 

Alice: its probably better he’s not coming because you probably wouldn’t play as well when hot phone boy is only watching you 

 

Sirius: i guess

 

Sirius: thanks alice

 

Alice: no prob sirius

 

Alice: now go to sleep so you can beat ravenclaw tomorrow

 

Sirius: haha night alice

 

 

 

(9:59pm)

 

 

 

Remus: Lils I need help

 

Lily: What’s up?

 

Remus: You know that guy I was talking to you about?

 

Lily: Oh yeah, Serious right?

 

Remus: It’s spelled Sirius lmao

 

Lily: Since when do you use ‘lmao’

 

Remus: Oh idk I guess Sirius uses it sometimes so it just rubbed off onto me I guess

 

Lily: Hm

 

Remus: Okay but basically Sirius invited me to his football game tomorrow

 

Remus: To meet in person…

 

Lily: OMG

 

Lily: Please tell me you’re going

 

Remus: I’m not

 

Lily: Remus why not? You like this guy a lot and he asked you to come to his FOOTBALL GAME

 

Lily: That clearly means he likes you the slightest

 

Remus: Thats the problem, I do really want to go

 

Lily: Then go!!

 

Remus: But what if we meet and he sees my scars and gets scared away?

 

Remus: I didn’t mention my scars in my description of myself and what if he gets mad at me for not telling him

 

Lily: Then he’s an asshole

 

Lily: But honestly, that doesn’t seem like the guy you’ve been texting

 

Remus: How do you know?

 

Lily: I see you texting him a lot Remus

 

Lily: And hes obviously making you use vocabulary I’ve never heard you use

 

Lily: Just think about it, I can’t force you to do anything and I can’t magically make these thoughts of yours disappear but I just want you to think about it

 

Remus: Thanks Lily, Thanks a lot

 

Lily: Of course :)
