This time it was Severus' turn to be surprised. It was the second time, in all the years he had known Lupin, that the man had hinted at his sexual preferences.
And both times had occured within the last week.
This had also not been a hint. This had been a very blunt statement, leaving no doubts at all, no room for guessing as Lupin had said himself.
Why? He wondered again. Why would Lupin have an interest in sharing that rather personal piece of information with Severus Snape?
Did Lupin know about Severus' personal preferences?
Which brought him right back to 'why?'.
And combined with this strange behaviour, Lupin's odd reactions, his sudden interest in Severus' company...
Was Lupin trying to make advances, in a slightly convoluted way? That made no sense.
Why not? Severus would not get into that particular discussion with himself. He would also not go into the fact that he was ... intrigued by the thought.
He was mostly focusing on the conviction, that he was seeing thing which were not there and he should consider what made him want outside company at all, and not only Lupin's.
"I will adjust it, if I need to." He made himself comfortable in his chair, crossing one leg over the other.
