Good Night
Theme #24: Skylines

---

The stars were created to give the moon company.

Sirius used to tell him that. Remus always found it bitterly romantic, for he never did like the moon. Sirius would argue that the moon would be lonely without the stars as company. Stars would dance in the night sky so that the moon would never feel alone.

Remus gripped his arms as he shivered into himself. He was alone now.

He stared at the sky and sought out Sirius' namesake. He didn't have to look long. He'd spent countless nights searching for the star, and he never failed to find it. His eyes reflected the stars in the sky and he watched the way the clouds revealed the moon. His eyes stayed on that full orb before he felt himself slipping away.

Remus reached out a hand fruitlessly, as if trying to grasp Sirius in the night sky. Claws grew from his fingertips and he felt his world melting away.

He would never be able to reach him again.

"Good night," he whispered out bitterly, a sad, mirthless smile on his lips, as his world melted away into the darkness. He howled for his loss. He howled for Sirius.
