“He likes to take care of people. It makes him feel better to make other people feel better, and he generally knows how to do that. It comes naturally to him and gives him a sense of accomplishment. Sometimes it's tiring, and sometimes it drains him, and sometimes he forgets that he needs to be taken care of, too, but overall-it's the most rewarding thing he's ever done in life.”

“Now, Sirius was no longer the boy from those fantasies. He was no longer young, and beautiful, and full of life. He was no longer the person Moony had fallen in love with - though he remembered that person, as if from far away. He remembered being loud, and vibrant, and reckless. He remembered the love he'd held for mischief, and for his friends; he remembered laughing with his head thrown back, sweeping his hair behind one ear, smirking with that devilish confidence that he'd always projected.
But that boy felt more like a dream than anything else. And Sirius couldn't bear the thought of going to Moony now, as he was, and watching the fantasy wither before his eyes. Who could be expected to love a black hole, where there had once been a star?”

“Many boys will bring you flowers. But some day you'll meet a boy who will learn your favourite flower, your favourite song, your favourite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

“I want to ask if he wanted to talk to me in all that time, if he ever
typed out messages that went unsent or thought about calling for so long he actually started to dial.
If he too feels like he lost two good years of his life when we stopped talking, and why he let it happen.”
