Kieren softens as Sirius talks about being in love. He should be jealous, he thinks, but he can't really bring himself to be. It's not like he has the room for it, what with having two sort-of-relationships in his past. "I'm sure if you'd told him, he wouldn't have reacted badly," he promises, sinking down into the tub and feeling the swirl of water at his fingertips.

He feels it.

Alarmed, he pushes it down and clears his throat. "Maybe you'll get a chance, still, to say it to him." Because if things with Kieren go the way he suspects, he wants Sirius to be happy. "Promise me, if I go...? If he's here, you'll tell him."
