Excerpt:
Don’t look, he told himself firmly. If you keep looking over there, he’ll notice you staring at him.
But inevitably, his gaze was drawn back to the table by the windows, and the young man who sat hunched over a spread of open books and lined paper, pencil in hand, brown hair falling forward to almost cover his eyes.
Hi, thought Sirius. Look, I’ve been staring at you all morning like a fucking creeper, and I think you’re pretty hot. I was just wondering if you’re into guys at all. He sighed and dragged his eyes back to his book, trying to remember what was happening in the plot.
A movement out of the corner of his eye brought his head back up. The cute maybe-hipster was gathering up his books and papers, shoving them into his bag. Sirius’s eyes followed him to the row of self-checkout computers and watched him go through his pockets once, twice, an expression of growing dismay on his face.
Sirius’s heart leapt into his throat as the man approached the circulation desk. Be cool, he told himself sternly.
“I forgot my library card,” the man said apologetically. “Is there any way I can still check these out?”
“Sure,” said Sirius, trying not to think about gorgeous dark brown eyes fringed with long lashes. “W-what’s your name?”
“Remus Lupin. L-U-P-I-N.”
