If Rabastan was willing to come out and be disowned by his parents for the sake of their relationship, Remus felt like he had to be able to come out to his friends. James and Peter knew something was wrong. He and Sirius were hardly talking these days. Remus thought Sirius and Lily were being increasingly less careful about their relationship, and things were... Well, he figured Sirius should be around for when he told James and Peter, just so he didn't think Remus wanted their fight to continue. He'd had Peter lie to Sirius to get him to come.

Remus stood in front of his friends, sat on a row on James's bed, and cleared his throat. "I have something to tell you that I probably should have told you a while ago," he said. "You're my best friends. Even if we're fighting, Sirius, and I... want you to hear from me that I'm gay before you hear a rumour from someone else, because I'm dating Rabastan Lestrange and he needs someone to support him in front of the rest of the school right now."

	Remus looked up at James and shook his head. "Nothing," he said. "I just want to get away from Sirius. He's driving me crazy. He..." Remus shook his head again and made a frustrated sound. "He's annoying." He ran a hand through his hair, looking James over. "Are you okay?" he asked. "I'm sorry about Peter. I can leave you alone if you want me to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James sighed softly and looked Remus over. "No. It's fine." He told him and then leaned against the wall again. "Sirius is annoying, but that's usually one of the qualities we enjoy about him. Yeah?" He pulled a chocolate bar from his pocket and held it out to Remus. "Want a piece? Of course you do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Usually," Remus agreed, laughing a little. He reached for the chocolate and gave James a small smile. "You know me so well." He broke off a piece, then handed the bar back to James. "Sometimes I wish Sirius was just... I don't know. A little less... Sirius about things." Remus popped the bit of chocolate into his mouth and moaned softly. "God, I needed this."

	"Less Sirius and more serious?" James asked with a heavy sigh. "I get what you're saying. We're getting older and we need to calm down a bit. But, I guess you have to see it from his perspective. He's a Black. They're raised a certain way and he thinks everything has to go as he says." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"True," Remus said, making a bit of a face. "I guess we can't blame him for the way he was brought up. He's come a long way from that, at least. He's nothing like any of his cousins. Thank God. That would be a nightmare." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James knew that, even himself, was a bit of a spoiled brat. Being the only child of two older parents with lots of money, he got things he wanted. But, that didn't mean he was as bad as Sirius. "So.." He eyed Remus. "Are you sure you're happy with Rabastan?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Remus looked at James for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure," he said. "We... apparently you saw us together, so you know. We work. And he just got disowned because of me. He wanted to come out to his parents so we could really be together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Even if it hurt, James knew there was nothing he could do. No one wanted to date him. Maybe he wasn't as dashing as Sirius or Lestrange. "Okay." He replied quietly and nodded. "I'll... help support you. I'm just glad it wasn't Snivellus." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Remus laughed softly. "I don't think he's gay," he said. "I could be wrong. Lily would know. Although..." He trailed off, thinking about it. "Although I don't think I've seen them together lately. Maybe he found out about Sirius too. That would make them fight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Lily doesn't need to be hanging around her anyway." James pointed out as he looked back at Remus. He sighed softly and then wrapped his arms around Remus. "If he hurts you, I want you to tell me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Remus didn't think Rabastan would ever hurt him, but he nodded, wrapping his arms around James. "Of course," he said. He kissed James's forehead. "I'm not expecting to be hurt, but if anyone could defend my honour it would be you." (Reply to this)(Parent)
