As soon as Sirius wrote him to say he was back in the country Remus had gone to him and it was like no time had passed, except this time something felt different. As they touched each other there were whispered words – "missed you so much", "want you", "need you". So much has happened and so much time had passed that Remus couldn’t bring himself to hold any of that old stuff against him, how could he? How could any of that be important now after everything? James and Lily were gone, the two of them were all that were left, and they clung to each other. Remus wasn’t glad James was gone, he really wasn’t, when he thought about it he still got a sharp pang in his heart, but if he had to be gone then at least they could have this. Could have each other.
