Title:
Crash
Pairing: Remus/Sirius
Summary: Sirius wants
to fall in love. Remus wants to fall out of it.
They were sixteen, barely, at the time. The world on their shoulders, weighing down their conscience with things they wish they always could have done. Could have experienced. Could have felt. James, much to his satisfaction (and constant gloating), was hopelessly in love and whilst he did care more than he probably should about his friends, didn't seem to even notice anything was wrong with his head in the clouds (or, as more commonly found, stuck against Lily's, lips, hips and all).
Sirius spent his time desperately trying to fall in love too, to know how it felt. Remus, to fall out if, because every glimmer of "It's her" from Sirius's lips made him shudder, and shake and break apart in a place the others couldn't see.
They were hardly adults when it finally happened, when they crashed into one another. But neither of them seemed to care anymore.
