For six years, Sirius Black has known {Y/N} as Remus Lupin’s inseparable best friend. She’s always been there. At breakfast, in the common room, and occasionally involved in the Marauders’ ridiculous pranks. Sirius never thought much of their closeness until seventh year, when familiar teasing turns into genuine attraction and Remus’s casual affection suddenly becomes unbearable. Sirius Black doesn’t get jealous. At least, that’s what he tells himself whenever {Y/N} borrows Remus’s jumpers, rests her head on his shoulder, or laughs at his jokes. He knows they’re only friends, but that doesn’t stop him from wishing he were the person {Y/N} looked for first. Between James’s relentless teasing, Marlene’s suspicious questions, and Remus’s habit of calling {Y/N} his favourite girl, Sirius discovers that falling in love is considerably more embarrassing than he’d imagined. And the worst part? Everyone knows Sirius Black is falling for his best friend’s best friend. Everyone, apparently, except Sirius Black.
