"Once again, Sirius, you went to a bloody bar to pick up random people whose names you didn't know. That's not really conducive to real relationships or even repeats." Peter shook his head. "You don't see how it's all connected, do you? I swear you're worse than me."
Peter smiled. "Just let people in, Sirius and you'll be surprised how different things can be."
He nodded. "We were, just not as much, and with time, we were there a little less, and that's okay, because that's not what drove us apart. It was the jealousy, the mistrust, the secrets. What I'm badly trying to say is that we don't have to be in each other's pockets to still be friends. WE just have to learn to talk like we're doing now, and even if we don't spend every minute together, we're still friends."
