"I can't say I love either but I do have a preference to being with men. Though, admittedly, that may just be because of my fondness for you." Otherwise, he didn't really think of that stuff and he had little desire for it. Physical contact was not something he really craved, if he was perfectly honest. He loved to be alone. "I prefer you."
He smiled a little at Sirius, awkward and unsure but knowing how he felt. "I suppose I'm not a typical teenage boy. I'm bad at this kind of talk."
Maybe if he hadn't at the moment so distracted by another stain, the words would have sunken in a bit more. As it was, Sirius was connecting some of it and not at all drawing some other connections, focused on scrubbing away, even as they talked. "It's different for everyone, mate. Lots of boys get awkward about it."
Just in his experience. "I've dreamt about snogging blokes though. A bloke, anyway. Think it's normal."
Which guy? Who was he kissing? God help him, it better not be fucking James Potter or fuck the world, he was going to burn this place to the ground. He scrubbed hard to fight back the venom he wished to spew out right now. He didn't even know it was James. "You like men as much as women, is what you're saying?" Huh. Well. "Muggles have a word for that, I heard it tossed around before."
"Oh, we have a lot of words for it too. My parents use them about my uncle, it's grand." Sirius rolled his eyes. Then he smirked, turned and pulled his shirt up. "I do like shirtlifter."
Just seemed silly, honestly. "As if girls don't like it when I lift my shirt." He was just saying. "And I don't know. I've never had a dream about doing stuff with a girl, you know? But I've done stuff with girls. So maybe it's equal."
Sirius shrugged his shoulders, letting go of his shirt again. "You don't want to do that though, right? To a bloke. I mean, I'd love it. You know me. I live to be my parents' shame. But if there's some bloke who's already struggling with so much stuff in his life... Nah."
