A/N: hi guys, I've been on hiatus for a little over half a year, but I've decided to pick things up again. So, after a long, long wait here's James/Remus for MirrorBlade19725!
"It is okay."
"Don't say that if you don't mean it."
"Hey, look at me." James spun Remus around.
Remus avoided his gaze.
"How many times do I have to tell you that I don't care that you're a werewolf? That all of us don't care?"
"You'll never understand it."
"Well, you're probably right about that. We might never fully understand what happens to you or what you'll have to endure, but we're here for you. I'm here for you."
"You'd be better off to just leave me be."
"You know as well as I do that that will never happen. Merlin, Remus, don't be so... so... uptight!"
"Uptight?" Remus raised an eyebrow.
"Ah well, you know what I mean," James waved his hand in irritation. "Point is, I'm not leaving your side because of your furry little problem. And you know what? It actually hurts me that you'd think otherwise."
There was an uncomfortable silence in which Remus shuffled his feet uneasily.
"Yeah you're right. I'm sorry."
"That's more like it. Now no more of this crazy talking that you're not good enough for me. Us," he corrected himself hastily.
Remus let out a short laughter, like a bark, and James insides made a flip.
"Don't go all gooey on me, mate, I'm not Evans."
"No of course not," James replied, his cheeks red. "I corrected myself, didn't I?"
But he would have given anything for Remus reacting just a little differently.
