And what if I said James Potter and Remus Lupin are "pretty brown eyes, and mind full of thoughts”
my favorite Remus by far is Remus who is always just a little bit off; never fitting or slotting perfectly in anywhere with anyone. He insists to himself that he doesn't mind, that to fit into conformity would be killing off every part of him that makes him interesting, and maybe eventually he starts to actually believe it.
it all begins to seep out of his many cracks as his mind moves too quickly, and he can't stop the outpour of tears that doesn't even phase James anymore, as he wordlessly tucks Remus against his chest with a purposefully nailed hands raking gentle strokes along his back. Remus begs for an answer, asking if he truly means it when the boys say they love him, and that it isn't just some cruel prank or plan to be spared from werewolf attacks, and James wishes he could feed the love into his brain because words don't always seem to reach him. He doesn't mean to be the insecure friend who needs purpose, honest. These breakdowns occur about every other month, when the bottle gets too full and bubbles over.
this isn't necessarily meant to be moonchaser/rem+jam, but you could read it as such. Honestly I didn't even think of that as a ship but i think after i post this imma look for fics cuz that sounds so cute. I see James as the warm bodied friend, who doesn't hesitate to comfort and wrap himself around his friends when they're struggling, but he's not the best with loving words so it's soft scratches. I think Sirius is too straightforward to be able to deal with the melts, and peter freezes anytime he sees tears.
