Honesty is such a lonely word
Who: Padfoot and Moony
Where: Moony's sweet new bachelor pad
When: Lateish Wednesday the First
Rating: Probably PG-13 for cursing at most
Summary: Sirius has let Remus settle in, but he can't just NOT tell him what he's in for back home forever, right?
The Story:
Sirius knows James wants to be careful-- knows it the way he knows a lot of things about James. They didn't need to discuss it. He could just tell that that was what was going through James' mind at breakfast the other day. That and a constant litany of don't beat the piss out of Peter just yet or possibly at all, although Sirius much prefers the first option. Not everything gets translated perfectly in their pseudo-telepathic conversations.
The point being that Sirius knows he isn't supposed to launch Remus headfirst into everything he's just learned about their future back home. But there's a full moon coming up fast, and Remus has had time to adjust, and frankly. Frankly he thinks Remus deserves to know. And if James is going to bolt away from all this like a deer frightened by a motorcycle, then he'll take it upon himself to deliver the news.
Only it's much harder now that he's here, standing at Remus' door. Nobody wants this news. But they all need it, or they're never going to change anything. And as much as he's still angry-- enraged --with Peter, there's a chance that they might prevent it all simply by being on the same page about everything. Which means Remus needs to know that he'll otherwise be spending his adult life friendless and alone.
Swallowing back his worry, Sirius knocks on the door.

He grips the thick book tightly in his hands and sort of follows Sirius towards the door. "Thanks, I guess."
