Remus POV,

I walked down the stairs into the Gryffindor common room with my nerves shot through the roof. I promised myself that today would be the day. The day I came out as Bi.

There should be nothing to worry about really, I'm only going to tell those who matter to me. Sirius, James, Peter, Lily, my Mum and maybe even Regulus since he is Sirius' brother which makes him mine in a way. All those people know Siri is gay so why would they care if I was bi?

At least that's what I should be thinking. Instead I worried like I always did. What if they shame me for liking both genders? What if they thinks it's wrong and force me to pick? What if they—

No. It will all be fine... maybe.

I shook my head to clear my thoughts. Glancing around the room looking for my secret boyfriend I spot him lying on the couch. Taking a deep breath, I walk over and sit next to him. He smiles, oh lord his smile, and shifts his head so it's lying in my lap. Stroking my hand through his hair, I wonder how it is that no ones guessed we're dating yet.

"Hey Moons," Sirius whispers as his grey eyes meet mine. His eyes have always reminded me of silver, something so harmful to me. It's fitting really. I trust Sirius and know he would never hurt me but if he wanted he could break my heart into a million pieces and there's nothing I could do to stop him. I guess that's why love is so scary for some people.

"Hey Pads," I finally manage to say after admiring his beautiful eyes for a moment.

The corner of Sirius lip turns down into a frown, a look of concern flashing across his features. "You okay? You look pale."

"I'm... I'm fine."

Clearly I'm not convincing enough and Lily barks out a quick, "Quit lying Lupin. We all can tell something up." She gestures to her, Janes and Peter, the only other occupants of the common room at the moment.

I sigh and remove my hands from Sirius' hair. He looked mildly offended by the action and persists on wedging himself into my side in disapproval. I have to refrain from chuckling at him. He's so darn needy when it comes to affection, it's adorable.

"I've been thinking a lot lately," I say, "about being more open with you guys. I have another secret, one other than being a werewolf." Lily smiles warmly at me when I say that. She found out only a month ago when her and James started dating. She said she already suspected I was a werewolf but wanted me to say so to her on my own.

I glance at Sirius tucked in my lap. He gave me a reassuring smile. He didn't know I was Bi until last week when I let it slip I had a secret girlfriend just under a year ago. I remember curling myself up in the corner of our dorm room waiting for him to yell at me or turn me away. I was shocked when he cane over and pulled me into his arms telling me how much he loved me as he wiped away my tears. Right now I longed for the comfort he gave me that night.

I laced my fingers with Sirius' surprising him as I forced my self to meet my dearest friends eyes. "I'm Bisexual." There was dead silence as if the group were waiting for me to continue. Flustered, I added, "That means I like both guys and girls."

"We know what it means," Lily said.

"I didn't," Peter corrected her. "I didn't know there was a word for it."

James sent a sympathizing look Peters way. We all knew his Mum and Dad are homophobic and he lacked the proper knowledge in the LGBTQ+ community. He was learning though.

"I... I can ask McGonagall to move me to another dorm." I mutter. "I'm not ashamed of who I am but if you want space then I can give you that."

"What?" Lily and James demanded in unison, both jumping up from their shared seat.

I stared at them in shock. "I like both genders. Is that not weird for you?"

"We were okay with Sirius being gay and you being a werewolf," James protested. "What makes you think we would thing something like that?"

"I... I-"

"Just get over here you dork," Lily cut me off and pulled James, Peter and I into a group hug causing Sirius to roll of my lap and onto the floor with a loud grunt. When we pulled apart I look back at Sirius, now on his feet, and caught him smiling.

"What are you so happy about?" I asked teasingly. Instead of answering he just pulled me into a hug.

"I love you," he mumbled into my shirt then looked up to meet my gaze. "You know that, right?"

I hummed as if contemplating it. "Hmm. You might have to remind me."

He laughed and pulled me down to meet his lips. Though it was short, I still managed to get list in the kiss as always. Sirius pulled away and rested his forehead on mine. "That a good enough reminder?"

I nodded my head just as Lily called out, "I told you they'd get together before seventh year! You owe me five galleons Potter!"

Both Sirius and I laughed throwing our heads back. With the distant arguing of Lily and James in the background, I pulled Sirius into another kiss. It was pretty much the perfect.

This short one-shot is brought to you in honour of Bi day.

I know this isn't how most people would come out. Personally when I started to talk to my friend about my sexuality I just cursed a lot while trying to explain to them before finally just taking a deep breath, saying F@ck it and just blurting it out.
