Protection

Remus couldn't believe the stupidity of the man. Who in their right minds would climb to the top of the volcano and willingly throw themselves off the edge? The man was clearly deranged.

He had swooped in and saved the guy before he could land in the lava, quickly bringing him to the outside of the volcano and setting him down. Remus crossed his arms.

"What did you do that for?" he asked.

The man stared at him in wonder and an awkward silence stretched between them. Remus shifted uncomfortably as he gazed on the insane mortal and tried to not consider how this mortal was even more beautiful than Aphrodite. He had admired him before, quietly about town where he walked, unnoticed.

"Well?" he demanded, trying not to be affected by the man's beautiful grey eyes or perfect features.

"None of the fields were growing crops," the man said, his gaze moving down Remus' body so slowly. "I hadn't expected you though."

"The crops… what does this have to do with you tossing yourself into a volcano?"

"Well, you see, the town think they angered the God - you I suppose - and they wanted to make a virgin sacrifice. They planned to throw my brother in here so I got there first. Plus, I didn't want to miss a chance to meet you. I've seen your statue and… well, I've never wanted to meet anyone as much."

"You threw yourself into a volcano voluntarily."

"I couldn't let my brother meet you first. I'm Sirius by the way. Are you single or do I have to compete with your other sacrifices for your love and attention? Also, I know you from town. You live above the bookshop, right? Well, are we going to live there now?"

"You're a virgin?" Remus asked, unable to think about much else. "Wait. You were jealous of your brother?"

"Of course," Sirius insisted. "But I won't be after tonight once you take me home." He winked at Remus and turned to walk down towards the town. "I ran away from home to do this, so I'm all yours forever."

Remus moved forward and gently grabbed Sirius' hand.

"I know a quicker way," he said, his voice shaking slightly. "Let me just take care of things here." He snapped his other hand, causing the fields to green and the crops to begin to grow again. "I just wanted to be like everyone else. That's why I live in town," he explained.

"I'll keep that a secret," Sirius insisted softly. "I'm glad it's you. I often think about you when bathing. If I had known you'd ever look at me like you are right now, I'd have had my way with you between the stacks…" he smirked. "Or let you have your way with me."

Remus could picture it vividly and remembered all of the times his gaze lingered and he forced himself not to stare. He wondered if it would have been as easy as Sirius stated if only he dared keep his gaze on the attractive man.

"So, how many am I competing with for your heart?" Sirius asked.

"None," Remus replied truthfully. "I've never had a sacrifice before."

"Good. I'll be your first… and last."
