âChristmas Day 1978â
sirius:
Tedâs putting a hand on his shoulder, but Sirius just goes for it. He reaches out and pulls him into a hug. Itâs good, to have family. Especially this month. Especially this year, when so much of it has been ripped away from him. âThank you, Ted. Happy Christmas.âÂ
Ted should have been used to Siriusâ erratic behavior by this point, should have seen the hug coming, and yet he was always surprised when Sirius pulled him closer. There was the slightest hesitation as he processed the situation before he hugged Sirius in return. âYouâre family, Sirius. You donât need to thank me.â
