At the sound of Remus's voice, Sirius sat up quickly. He hadn't been doing much of anything, really, just lying back staring at the ceiling. Something had been bothering him lately, eating away deep within his chest, but he couldn't quite put a finger on it.

"Hey," he smiled at Remus. "What's up?"

"I wanted to let you know that I've rented an apartment, for Jalil.. he's the man who's been living here for the last two weeks." The one Sirius hadn't ever met. It seemed strange to Remus. "I'm going to be living there every other day.. spending the night every other night. So I'll still be around for Lily and you, and if Harry needs me, but I need to spend some time away, and with a friend that I actually see more than once a week. I don't this want to turn into.. a fight. So just tell me that you understand. I'm not breaking up with you, I just.. think we need some time apart. And if we don't live together, I won't be so upset that I never see you."

After the first sentence or two, all Sirius could really hear was a blur of sound and his blood rushing in his ears. Remus was... leaving?

Leaving? Leaving... Sirius?

And had he said... living with someone else? Another man?

How... what...? Sirius was staring now, he was fully aware of that. And he definitely wasn't smiling anymore. But everything was rushing around in his head, and he couldn't really make sense of it all. There were too many words and he just knew that somewhere along the line, he had to have heard wrong. "You... you're what?" he managed finally. "Remus, you're... you're leaving?"

"I'm going to be spending every other night with a friend, I'm going to be spending all the other nights right here. That's all." Reminded with a slow lift of his eyebrows.
