Remus sat on the window ledge of the boys' dorm, staring out the window blankly, his mind elsewhere. Someone entered the room, but he ignored them. At least, until the boy touched his arm and spoke his name softly. Remus flinched away, tears swarming his eyes.

"Moony, please-"

"No, Sirius," he snapped, turning his head to glare at Sirius through blurred eyes. "You don't get it. I thought- I thought you felt the same way, so I go for it and then you just shoved me away. You don't understand how much that hurts!"

"Moony, it's not like that-"

"Whatever. I don't want to listen to you. I … don't want to see you. Or be near you. Just leave me alone," he said, pushing himself off the window ledge and crossing the room to another window. Sirius followed him, reached out to touch him, but Remus flinched away again. His voice was quiet and pleading as he said, "Please. Don't."

"But, Remus, listen to me-"

Tears streaked down his cheeks as he, once again, turned on Sirius. "Don't you understand? You mean more to me than anything in this whole world, and I just got bloody rejected by you! Excuse me if I'm a little bloody temperamental!" he yelled. "Sorry if I'm a bit touchy or a bit sensitive, but I've just had my heart broken, so I think I'm allowed!"

"But Moony, I want you," Sirius said, his voice quiet and desperate.

"Yeah, it looked that way when you shoved me onto the floor," Remus spat angrily.

"Moony, I was taken by surprise! It's not every day my best mate kisses me, you know!"

"Yeah, whatever." Remus sniffed and wiped his nose on the cuff of his jacket. "Just leave me alone, Sirius, save me the pain," he said, before walking quickly out of the dorm.

A/N: I've written better, but ... it's decent. And very sad.
