Remus is trying, he really, really is, but after a month of pretending everything is fine, pretending like he and Sirius were starting over and he truly forgave Sirius for everything, he’s starting to feel at the end of his rope. And on New Years Eve, Remus wakes to find that Sirius is in one of his moods. He tries to be understanding, and patient, like he has been all week, and sets about making them breakfast, which Sirius barely acknowledges. Then he tries making conversation, but Sirius only huffs, rolls his eyes, and goes up to his room.
