and honestly? i think the thing most likely to make remus cry is not hearing “i love you.” it’s hearing “i’m not going anywhere.” because deep down, i think part of him is always expecting people to leave. 💔 (pt5)
someone caring for him when he’s sick. someone seeing him at his worst and staying anyway. someone making space for him in their future as though it’s the most natural thing in the world. (pt4)

because i think remus is used to feeling temporary. the gestures that would absolutely ruin him are the ones that prove he doesn’t have to earn love every single day. (pt. 3)

someone remembering how he takes his tea. someone saving him a seat without thinking about it. someone automatically reaching for his hand. someone checking that he got home safely. all those tiny things that quietly say, “i expected you to be here.” (pt. 2)

OH. yes. not often, and probably not dramatically, but yes. i don’t think remus cries because someone buys him flowers or says something romantic once. i think what gets him is consistency. people staying. (pt. 1)

@temnyshko i think that’s why i keep coming back to it. remus spends so much time believing he’s difficult to love that i enjoy giving him the opposite
before he’s remembered every responsibility waiting for him. just a few quiet minutes where he can exist beside someone he loves and let himself be happy. (pt8)
