Remus couldn't help smiling at the admission. He reached out with his free foot to nudge at Sirius'. "I'm glad. Because I mean it. Although, you've got to tell me if you need new boundaries now. Because you look at me like that and you're going to end up hugged again." The sad puppy dog eyes Sirius liked to pull out when he was playing innocent might have no affect on Remus. But, the glisten of unshed tears was an entirely different story.
"I hope that's for more than just Full Moons," he said softly. "Because Moony is here all the time." He used two fingers to tap his own temple. "Pack is always, every day. It's not a bond that breaks easily, no matter what happens. Spent three years without you around and it hurt, bent a little, but never broke." He toyed with the hem of his jeans a bit. "I know you haven't had a lot of great examples of family other than the Potters, Pads. But, that's what pack means. It means you're my family and family, real family doesn't go away just because things change or people want different things. Neither to friends. You were one of the ones to teach me that because of the way you never turned away once you knew what I was. You stayed my friend. You've been there for me every Full, even when you couldn't be with me that night, you were there in the morning. You became an illegal animagus for me. Sirius...your friendship and love bound me to you for life. And, that's the thing about love, not romance or sex, but honest lover. The more you give, the more you have to give."
Thin shoulders shrugged awkwardly in that position. "I guess that's why I want you and Regulus to work so much. I was always slightly jealous of you for having a brother. Mam and Tad didn't dare have any more kids after...well, me."
