"Huh. That's a weird name, right? It is weird." Peter answered his own question, frowning. Because the name also seemed weirdly familiar. "Maybe he had something in his eye."
Could be. "Or he wants to shag you." There, he was a supportive friend. "You should try flirting. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?"
"He laughs in my face and I never leave the house for a few years while I recover?" He wasn't like Peter, he couldn't laugh away rejection. He hated how much it bothered him but it did. He hated that he didn't feel comfortable in his skin and that people looked at him weird - he hated that he couldn't believe a hot dude was winking at him cause he was hot.
"I like the fantasy. I'm not gonna ruin it by making an idiot of myself flirting with that hot guy."
"Fair." Peter shrugged. "I guess maybe girls are nicer about it." He thought about that for a second, then shook his head. "Nah. Forget that, they are not. Nasty."
Ah, well. What was a bloke to do but keep on trying? "I think when there is a hot girl, I can't help it. I just gotta tell her she's hot, you know? And ask if she got hurt falling from heaven."
Remus smiled and reached up to ruffle Peter's hair. "You'll find a girl if you just relax around them. You come on too strong cause you're nervous. I bet plenty of girls like you. You've got charm and besides, you really do cook well."
Remus would date him if he was even half way attracted to him but, well, he'd known Peter too long to want to date him.

Great line, that.
