Pioneer - a Wolfstar Microfic

“No, I’m confident, this time it’ll work,” James said, and the way he spoke, it was hard to not fully believe in anything he said. Sirius nodded firmly and Peter hummed an agreement. Only Remus held his posture still, and the other three boys looked at him, waiting for his permission to continue.
“Look, I’m grateful, I really am, that you’ve put all this work in,” the sandy-haired boy began, his face morose and tone defeated.
“No, Moony—!” James started to reply, but Remus simply continued over him.
“But it’s—it’s just not working, we’ve got to admit that at some point,” he finished, gazing at the ground for a beat before slowly lifting his eyes. He glanced at James, then Peter, before turning to Sirius, where he held his gaze.
Sirius and Remus looked at each other in silence for a long moment. James, who would generally have been the one to speak up in this moment, somehow knew enough at thirteen to sense that Remus wanted an answer from Sirius, not him.
The long-haired boy, too uncomfortable with the vulnerability in his friend’s eyes, cracked a smile. “C’mon, Moony. We’re pioneers! Don’t take that away from us,” he joked.
An unhoused energy hung in the room around them, as they all felt this was not the right answer to the question in Remus’s eyes. Finally, the young werewolf broke their shared look, nodding. “Yeah, guess you could try once more,” he said to the floor.

For my Remus x Sirius fanfic!
Title: Dear Sirius!
James: "A map? Why do we need a map?"
Remus: "Not just a map, we can see everyone on it, even those who are invisible."
Peter: "You're a genius, Remus!"
Sirius: "Geniuses are hot. Then we just have to go all over Hogwarts, right?"
