marauders – how they love

alovelylight:

james loves in time, adventure and discovery. he hungers for the thrill and comfort of diving into something new. there are midnight journeys and filling unexplored spaces, brooms that race the storm and thumping hearts that swallow mountains. he burns in every moment because time should not be wasted.

sirius loves in actions that roar louder than an “i love you.” he sees flowers that bloom from the wounds he takes for his friends, could touch the stars in every spare bed, every tight hug, every handmade blanket. and every time the four of them race through the moonlight, he loves like an earthquake.

remus loves in the gifts he can offer – a compensation for the growling monster inside him. before chocolate and patronus lessons, there was a broomstick made of lightning, a guidebook of sneaky charms, a spot at a train compartment for a nervous boy. he did not know that his love alone could repair heaven and earth.

peter loves in acts of service that have the power to build bridges and burn them down. he provides the crutches for them to lean on, giving words that weaved reliance and hope. he once tried to give them the world, but he was too small and scared, and was just one out of a four-headed hellraiser.
