"No, but I wondered, sometimes. The way you acted - with anyone else, I would have thought they were jealous, but-" Remus broke off for a moment, floundering at the effort it took to admit it to himself, let alone Sirius.
"Anyway," because he wasn't quite prepared to go down that path, and besides, this wasn't about him and his feelings, "I honestly don't think everything changes. You heard Hex. You know us, Pads. We practically live in each other's pockets anyway." James knew, but Remus didn't want to think about that right now, either. He reached down with a fast hand and took a gulp of his drink, a smooth, singular motion.
"And you're not about to lose me," Remus told him, quiet, and gentle. "...You couldn't lose me if you tried, you daft bugger. I've been the one to hold your head when you puke in the loo from drinking too much, and the one who scolded you for trying something too dangerous, and the one who always, always ached for you to come back safe to me. That's everything, and it's not changing."
