I am thinking that Sirius didn't suspect Remus because of believing 
Remus to be untrustworthy, but because Remus is a werewolf and that 
might make him vulnerable to something in between being blackmailed 
and being manipulated in wolf form into doing things he doesn't 
really remember the next day. And he doesn't want to tell Remus 
something so unkind, but he broods on it and thus becomes a bit cold 
or constrained in his behavior toward Remus.

And Remus noticed this unexplained change in Sirius's behavior and 
the only reason he can figure out for it is if Sirius is the traitor.

And I personally am a Sirius/Remus shipper, which makes the mutual 
suspicion all the sadder, but also all the more likely: one comes to 
believe that the worst fear is the true one, and the worst fear is 
that one's own spouse/partner/lover is the traitor.
