Sirius leaned in to kiss him, and this time Remus understood the unknown element there. It was a deep conviction, a feeling that Sirius was pouring his heart into the kiss. Remus understood that it meant Sirius wanted this to work, that this wasn’t just a lark for him. It surprised Remus because, as much as Sirius said he loved him, the self-doubt always crept in. This was unmistakable, though – the way Sirius grasped at the back of his shirt and kissed him so hungrily, the small sound made at the back of his throat. Remus wasn’t sure his kisses conveyed the same feeling, so he decided to use words.
“I don’t know if I’ve made this clear,” he said, breathless, their foreheads pressed together. “But I’m quite mad about you.”
