‘Four times four is sixteen. Right?’ Remus questioned himself.
For the past two weeks Remus wasn’t sure of anything. Their were only a few sure things in his life: the sky is blue, his name is Remus Lupin, and that love was a very confusing thing.
It all started with James. Just James, nothing more, nothing less. He saw things he never noticed before, like that James’ smile brightens whenever he sees a snitch, or that he strawberry jam over peanut butter. Then it changed, James came to his bed in the middle of the night, muttering something about nightmares and yellow, and slept with him for the night. Remus didn’t catch a wink of sleep that night.
Now Remus was sitting in the library going over his History of Magic homework, but he couldn’t remember if Fiona, the fairy queen, married Jerrad a peasant, causing the fairy revolution of 1445, or if she had a illegitimate daughter who married Jerrad. All his facts were muddled, over lapping, some even disappearing. James was the only thing that mattered to him right now.
Was he in love with James, or was it just a infatuation? Did it mean anything that James has slept in his bed every night this past week, but only mentioning nightmares once? Could he really love James? Would his parents understand? Was it even legal?
He felt like he was losing his mind. Every time James whispered his name in his sleep, or accidentally brushed against Remus’ arm while they were walking in the halls, he felt another shred of his sanity fall away.
