Well, this was written for a guy I know... And yeah... Really. That's kinda it... I'd be really grateful for R&Rs! Thanks! :D

Oh, and Hi Gabriel ;D

BoyXBoy, btw... Well, technically, SiriusXGabriel... :L

Gabriel Angel sat by the lake, staring out over the black waters. The Giant Squid was swimming slowly over the surface, even though the boy wasn't watching it. He was thinking about something else.

Well, someone else, to be exact.

Sirius Black, to be even more precise.

Gabriel pictured the boy, as if he was sat in front of him; his black shoulder-length hair, strong features, and beautiful grey eyes. He knew that he was in love with Sirius by now. The way he got hard if the raven-haired boy so much as stood behind him, talking to Remus or James.

The Giant Squid spurted out a load of water, splashing it near him. Gabriel had known that he was gay for a while, but he still couldn't get his head around the fact that he fancied the heart-throb in his year. Why would Sirius even think about dating him? He was sure that Black was straight.

Gabriel sighed and threw a couple of rocks into the lake, making a satisfying splash. They were in their sixth year now; he'd fancied Sirius since year three.

Ugh, he thought, Why am I such an outcast? I mean, how can you even be an outcast in Slytherin? Just cos I fancy a Gryffindor... He sighed; which ever way he put it, he was different.

The crescent moon was just beginning to rise above the mountains that surrounded Hogwarts, throwing it's glimmering light over the lake, silhouetting the boy sat on his own on a rock by the water's edge; a boy that wasn't Gabriel.

Gabriel stood, and was going to head in without finding out who it was, but curiosity got the better of him, and he made his way down the slope to find out who was sat on their own.

It wasn't one boy; it was three. Gabriel hid behind a rock, leaning his back against it, and listened to them talking. He knew it was wrong, but he wanted to find out who was there.

'Just tell him mate.' That was James Potter, the Gryffindor Chaser who always beat Gabriel in Quidditch matches.

'Yeah, the worst he can do is hex you.' Remus Lupin – the quiet, bookish one, who always looked pale, sometimes even sickly; the Slytherin's used to make fun of him, until, one day, they'd finally gone too far, and Sirius had hexed the lot of them. They'd stayed clear of him after that.

'I can't just tell him! He's a Slytherin! And a boy! Alright, my parents would be alright with the Slytherin bit, but the guy bit? They'd disown me!'

That was Sirius; the same Sirius who Gabriel fancied. Gabriel was going to leave as soon as he found out who the people were, but now, since his love was here, he decided to stay and listen, however sinister that was.

'I think they're on the brink of disowning you anyway, Sirius.' James said, dryly.

'Look, Sirius, if you don't want to tell him, I'm sure Alice will. Or James and I will.' Remus' girlfriend; he always managed a way to bring up his love. Gabriel smiled at the way they always stood up for each other, and hoped that, one day, that could be him and Sirius.

'I guess Alice could tell him... But not you two. You'd make it all awkward, and... Bleugh. What about Gabrielle? She's quite friendly with me now, and she's in his house. Maybe she'd tell him? Should I even tell him? I don't know what to do, guys! You're meant to be my mates and help me!'

Gabriel rolled his eyes at Sirius' rant, but suddenly woke up to what they were talking about. Sirius, liking a Slytherin? And, what's more, a Slytherin who was a boy? What?

'Padfoot, look. Nothing will happen. Remember that boy a couple of years above us, who liked that guy in Hufflepuff? What happened?' Remus Lupin, ever the boy of reason.

Mumble, mumble, mumble, was the response.

'I'm sorry?'

'He asked him out, and it was all fine.' Sirius said, loudly.

'See?' James said, 'It will all be fine. Just tell him, or I'll get Alice to.'

'What do I say?' Sirius sounded... Desperate, almost.

'I dunno. What do you say when you ask someone out, Remus? What did you say to Alice?'

'I just asked her if she wanted to go to The Three Broomsticks with me. She said she wanted to ask me the same thing!'

'Is that what I should say to Lily, do you think...?' James mused.

'Oi! Prongs! We're meant to be talking about my relationship here!' Sirius sounded annoyed, but amused, and the sound of stones being kicked followed his voice. 'I don't know what to do guys. I don't even know what to think anymore.'

Gabriel's heart wrenched at the sound of Sirius sounding so desperate, so lost. The Slytherin was beginning to get a feel of how cold it was, and was about to get up and leave without being seen or heard, when a shout came from no more than five metres in front of him.

'Here you are, guys! I've been looking all over! What are you doing, sat out here, in the middle of December?' Alice's voice rang loud and clear.

'Trying to help Sirius,' Came Remus' reply, 'You haven't got anything, have you?'

'Oh, what, about the fact that he's gay and wants to ask someone out? Sirius, we've talked about this! I thought you had it sorted!'

Alice broke a stick just in front of Gabriel, and he pulled his knees up to his chest in order to crawl closer into the shadows. She stopped dead, and peered straight at him, raising an eyebrow. 'You alright?' She whispered, a grin on her face, 'Listen, just go now, but hang around at the entrance to the school. Pretend that you're just walking around when we come up, and don't tell anyone that you saw us down here!'

With these hurried instructions, Alice winked at him, and stood, making her way down the track. He heard her greet her boyfriend and the others; Gabriel stood slowly, easing the stiffness out of his legs gently, and made his way opposite to Alice.

Gryffindor's... He mused, You never know what they're gonna do next...

As instructed, he paused by the entrance, and sat in an alcove, waiting for them to join him. He wondered who Sirius was talking about. Maybe it was Sam, the handsome Slytherin with whom Gabriel shared a dorm with; maybe Alice and Sirius were going to ask Gabriel to tell him for them.

He sighed, leaning his head on the side of the wall, and tried to not let his thoughts wander to Sirius' amazing six-pack that Gabriel had seen after the Gryffindor vs. Slytherin match. It didn't even matter that they had lost; seeing Sirius like that had been an amazing win for Gabriel.

After what seemed like hours later – when, in fact, it'd been only about seven minutes – Gabriel heard the Gryffindor's make their way up, and he decided to do as he was told; an angry Alice was a terrifying sight.

He stood, and made his way to the edge of the door, a tuneless whistle on his lips, waiting for them to join him. He acknowledged them; Alice winked at him, before giving a knowledgeable glance at Sirius.

'Um, Siri, we're gonna turn in now, James, Remus and I. We'll see you tomorrow, yeah?'

'Bu-' James began; his voice was soon cut off by Alice's elbow in his stomach. 'Y-Yeah, w-we'll see y-you tomo-orrow, S-Sirius,' He wheezed, winded; Gabriel would've felt sorry for him, if it wasn't so funny.

'Night, Padfoot.' Remus clapped him on the shoulder, winking at him, then put his arm around Alice's shoulders as they left.

'So,' Gabriel started.

'Did you hear us down by the lake?' Sirius but in, his voice hard; Gabriel nodded sheepishly. 'What did you hear?' He demanded.

'Erm, just something about you liking a Slytherin... A guy...' Gabriel finished lamely. 'I'm sorry.' He whispered; Sirius' grey eyes were piercing through him.

He heard Black swallow, and the boy turned away, taking long strides to the fence that kept the Hippogriffs they were studying in the paddock. Sirius lent on the fence, resting his chin in his hands. Gabriel followed slower, standing next to him, resting his own arms on the fence.

'So, it's true then? You're gay?' He asked, softly. Sirius nodded, his eyes fixed on a point in the distance.

'Do you fancy anyone, Gabriel?'

'Err,' Gabriel's jaw set, and he decided to tell the truth, 'Yeah, I do. A guy.'

'At least I'm not alone...' Sirius murmured, 'Mind telling me who?'

Gabriel swallowed, 'He's funny, intelligent, gorgeous... Oh, he's a bit of an outcast in his family, like me,' He continued, careful not to look at Sirius when he felt Black's eyes rest upon him, 'He's got black hair, grey eyes, strong features, good friends... The perfect life, really.'

'Single?'

'Yes,' Gabriel's voice cracked, 'You fancy anyone?'

'Yes.'

Sirius didn't say anything more, and Gabriel risked a look at him, immediately feeling himself get hard.

Black was staring at him intently, his eyes taking in Gabriel's features, pausing for a few seconds on his lips, before meeting Gabriel's gaze.

'What would you say if I said I fancied you?' Sirius asked; his earlier worries had apparently disappeared.

'I'd say that it was a good thing, because I fancy you.'

'Brilliant.' Sirius had a small smile on his face, that Gabriel couldn't help returning. 'Wanna do something, sometime, Angel? Hey, that's a good name for you...'

Gabriel rolled his eyes, staring over the hills, aware of how close Sirius was standing to him. 'Sure, that is, if your family won't mind.'

'Like I care about them!' Sirius scoffed. 'Your family won't mind, will they?'

'Naa, I shouldn't think so... Maybe I just won't tell them...' Gabriel mused.

'Good plan.'

Gabriel felt Sirius gently take his hand, his fingers soft and caressing. 'What do you want to do?' Gabriel heard himself ask, bewildered that this was actually happening.

'Oh, I don't know...' Sirius answered softly, his breath ghosting over Gabriel's neck. 'Maybe we should discuss that tomorrow? It's late now, I mean.' Gabriel nodded, not wanting to leave, but knowing that Sirius was right.

'Do you want to meet up tomorrow?'

'Where?' Black asked, cautiously.

'The library?' Gabriel grinned wickedly, knowing of Sirius' hate of that particular place. 'I have got an essay of Animagi I need to do...'

Surprisingly, Sirius' eyes lit up. 'Oh, I can help you with that! Besides, I wouldn't mind a trip to the library...' Gabriel felt Sirius' forehead.

'Are you alright? Not getting a fever or anything?'

Sirius laughed, batting Gabriel's hand away, still holding onto his other one. 'I think I need some dating tips from a Mister Moony, actually!'

'I've always wondered, why do you call each other that?'

Sirius' hair brushed Gabriel's cheek as the boy next to him chuckled. 'Ahh, Angel, that's another story for another day... Come on, or else Filch'll be after our skins.'

He tugged on Gabriel's hand until the Slytherin gave up and followed him; they made it to the lobby, before they had to go their separate ways – Gabriel to the dungeons, and Sirius to who-knows-where; houses weren't meant to know where other houses' common rooms were.

'So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then...' Gabriel muttered; he didn't want to leave Sirius, and it clearly showed when the Gryffindor hugged him.

'Listen, it's not that I think we're weird or anything, but I don't think we should show that we're, you know, together, until later, yeah?' Sirius stared into his eyes.

'Yeah, sure,' Gabriel smiled at him, Sirius' mischievous character made it impossible not to smile when you were around him; it was something else about Black that Gabriel loved. 'So... I'll see you tomorrow?'

'Obviously,' Sirius smiled; Gabriel turned to go, but was stunted when Sirius tugged his robe. 'Don't I get a good night kiss?' Black put on the puppy dog eyes, and Gabriel melted.

Both boys leaned forward, and Gabriel's heart fluttered as their lips connected. Sirius was the first to pull away; he kissed Gabriel's cheek gently before whispering, 'Good night,' and heading off with a smile.

Gabriel stood for a moment in the lobby, lost and his head spinning, before the threat of Filch finding him made him turn on his heels and head down to the dungeons.

'Serpent,' He whispered to the black wall. It melted into a doorway, and he stepped through into the common room; a few were still up, but he blanked them, and made his way to his dorm. When he got there, he grabbed his pyjamas from the bed, ignoring Sam who started to talk to him.

Gabriel got changed quickly and went to the loo before standing in front of the mirror, staring at his flushed face. He couldn't believe what had just happened. Had Sirius actually... Kissed him?

Oh, man... He thought as he washed his face, This relationship is gonna be mental...

I should probably mention now... I have no idea how long this is gonna get...

R&Rs would be grateful :) Thank you!
