[ Kate struggles valiantly, she really does, but all of her powers of self-control and seriousness are undone in the face of all of this earnestness. This completely fake earnestness. She keeps ahold of herself through Remus's declaration, which is actually very nicely done, enough that she holds eye contact and a straight face and actually does perhaps feel something just a little bit smoldery or magnetic just for a second--
before he looks at Sirius and her lips start trying to twitch into a grin and then Sirius won't stop saying words, half of which are throb or deep and she loses it, she just loses it entirely, a laugh bursting out of her so she can't even look at Sirius's face without laughing, even as she's trying to admonish him. ]
Sirius-- Sirius Jehosephat Black if you say the word throb one more time--!!! Oh my god. You are the worst. But no, okay-- Okay! I'm being-- we're being serious now. Seriously. Shut up--.
[ This of course to Sirius before he can make the inevitable joke. She abruptly hauls herself upright a little bit, with a forearm on Remus's shoulder and a hand on Sirius's, pushing herself up until she is basically sat in the former's lap, though that is not the important part, the important part is that now she can set both of her hands on his shoulders and look at him very seriously. ]
You shouldn't be kissing nobody, Remus. Because you are excellent, okay? You are funny and smart and kind and a great friend and a wizard and lots of fun and you have cute hair and surprising abs and I know that really you just want Estelle Stone and I wish she existed because you deserve that, okay? You're so great and I want you to get all the things that you want. Don't not-kiss girls because of the werewolf thing. The rest of you is worth it.
