Angsty wolfstar with 8, 11, 29? Only if you want to, of coyrse

8 – “You hide in jokes and sarcasm, but I can see how broken you are”

29 – “You can lie to yourself but you can’t lie to me.”

(i already did 11, so i decided not to include it? sorry, i just had more inspiration with combining the other two. also apparently im really going with that whole new writing style, huh. nice)

Masks. They were all there ever were to see. Remus Lupin was a man of secrets, and every single one of them piled up until the blur that was his truth lied invisible to everyone, even Remus himself.

“You hide in jokes and sarcasm, but I can see how broken you are.” Sirius’ voice felt soft and secure, but Remus knew the words meant threat. No one could see what was in between those masks, those thousands of lies that protected him.

“You can lie to yourself, but you can’t lie to me.” The softness, again. Remus’ firm faith in his parents’ advice to never let others know faltered. Sirius’ voice was intoxicating, like a poison running through the cracks in his shield of acting and lying and pretending.

After all, he didn’t even know who was this “him” he wanted to protect.

22. “How long do we have?” because I can see this going in so many different directions and I’m curious to see which direction you take it.

(thank you! this isnt my usual style, but im actually quite fond of it)

Sirius gently pressed Remus’ hand. “How long do we have?”

“He’ll be back in half an hour.” Remus’ voice was determined and firm. “And he’ll probably be in a bad mood, so let’s make the most of it.”

Sirius nodded, and quickly wrapped his arms around Remus’ waist. He brought their lips together, and soon their kiss became more heated. They moved to the bedroom, knowing full well they would have to rush every caress, every word and sound, every gesture of love, for their love lived on borrowed time, and being caught would result in death.

They were aware that the oh-so-short timeframes which restricted their growing, blossoming love would soon left them feeling claustrophobic, but despair can lead a man to the less wise decisions. For now, their passion would take over the oppresive weight of their daily life, and every touch would break them free.

Sirius clenched his fist tighter around the bottle in his hand. Tears were gathering in his eyes. He wasn’t certain if he should scream or sob.

“Please don’t leave me…” His voice was trembling, either with fury or tears. He wished for fury.

Remus averted his eyes. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, my love, I hate this as much as you do, but I have no choice, Dumbledore needs me to talk to the packs and…”

The name felt like a sudden trigger, unleashing all of his rage.

“Screw Dumbledore!” he yelled. “We don’t own him shit. He’s the one who locked me away in that god awful house that I hate, he’s the one who sent Harry away, he’s the one who forced you to go back with Greyback even after everything he did to you!” A sob escaped, but once again his anger overtook and he yelled again. “And yet you’re still following him around, obeying him like you’re his good pet werewolf! You abandon me every fucking time he asks you to, because you’re a fucking traitor, Remus!”

He was immediately silenced by the weight of the word that he had dared to use. Remus turned his back on him and walked to the door.

“You’re drunk, Sirius. I’ll be back in three days if nothing goes wrong. No owls.” And with that, he went away.
