Convinced Of Denial
a Remus/Tonks fic
Special Guest Star: Sirius Black

"I don't fancy him."
Sirius snorts into his firewhiskey and I reiterate my stand.
"I really don't fancy him! He's...he's a good friend, that's all. He's kind, and thoughtful, and funny, and dedicated...And he likes his tea with 2 lumps of sugar. And when he smiles, he looks years younger."
Sirius raises an eyebrow at me.
"But you don't fancy him."
"I don't."
"All right, if you say so."
+~+~+~+~+~+~+
"I don't like her that way!"
"Mm-hm, and Buckbeak and I are half-brothers."
I pour myself some more tea, and add 2 lumps of sugar to it even as I tsk at him.
"I'm serious!"
"No, that's me, you're Remus, remember?"
I whack him with the Daily Prophet from the kitchen table.
"That hurt, Moony."
"You're a git."
"Yes, I am, and you, my friend, are the daftest, most lovesick prat I've ever seen."
"She's like a sister to me..."
"Ah, so you do care!"
I drain my cup and put it in the sink.
"I'm not talking to you anymore, Padz."
+~+~+~+~+~+~+
I try not to make any noise.
It's sweet, really, him and her. They pretend like nothing's going on, but they keep stealing glances at each other.
He tells a joke, and she laughs.
She trips, and he catches her.
He tells her goodnight, and she kisses him.
She kisses him, and he kisses her back.
But she, apparently, doesn't fancy him.
And he, apparently, doesn't like her that way.
The noises coming from her room say otherwise.
