Sirius and James are convinced Remus Lupin is impossible to properly fluster. Marlene disagrees—and volunteers {Y/N} to prove it. What the boys do not know is that {Y/N} has liked Remus for years, making the ridiculous bet the perfect excuse to finally flirt with him openly. At first, it works beautifully. Remus blushes, loses his train of thought, and becomes painfully aware of every lingering look and casual touch. Then he figures out there is a bet. Instead of confronting her, Remus quietly decides to play back. Soon the teasing is mutual, the touches last a little too long, and neither of them is quite sure when the game stopped being a game—or who is actually winning anymore.
