Week 1 of the Ship Til You Drop Competition - Kingsley/Sirius

Sirius was completely and utterly livid. He was already going fine with being holed up in his blasted house with Kingsley for company, but Dumbledore just had to take him, too!

Sirius scowled at his partner across the room for allowing such request from his former Headmaster.

"Sirius, love, I couldn't decline.' Kingsley sighed, his voice deep and tired.

"COULDN'T?! There were a million ways to decline! Do you want me to list them down for you, one by one?" Sirius thundered, banging his fist on the old oak table in the kitchen.

"No, I just.. I need to do my part. I'm in the Order and I'm supposed to help. This was the least I could do." Kingsley walked over to Sirius who was nursing his bruised hand.

"I'll go back here as soon as I finish the mission, unscathed and perfectly in one piece. I promise." he said in a soft voice, a tone only reserved for his lover.

Kingsley kissed all the bruises in Sirius' hand away with tender loving care.
