AN: Hi guys! So this is a fanfic that I had intended to write at a later date but decided to do it as a birthday fic instead. I'm writing this for NeonDomino because she's awesome and keeps me on track with my writing. Well, she does better then most anyway with that. I tend to get distracted easy. But she was super sweet enough to write a fic for my birthday last month so I'm returning the favor with one of my own for her.

Also, I made a few changes to people that are specifically for her. Like, Lily and Sirius being brother and sister. ^.^ And with her permission I may bring in a pain in Sirius' backside from her stories to be a character in this. Let me know on that one Neon, you know who I'm referring to I'm sure. Anyway, this is an AU story, so no magic. But please Review at the end for me, k? Thank you much!

Happy Birthday NeonDomino!

Chapter 1: Is it Fate?
(An:Btw, the italicized words are messages on an instant messenger app. Like yim, aol, etc.)

CelestialCanine: We could have them fight over the fact that Lupa wants Rom to end things with Ri. Because he's not going to back down from that.

RomanWolf: True. But Lupa would want Romulus to kill Orion if it came down to it. Rom would try to force Orion to end things.

CelestialCanine: How? Orion loves Rom. He wouldn't just end things over something petty.

RomanWolf: Maybe Lupa finds another wolf to mate with Romulus? And maybe kidnaps Orion until Romulus agrees to mate the other wolf?

CelestialCanine: That would get Darius involved though. The Shifter Council wouldn't just let Lupa take one of their own.

CelestialCanine: ! Which would make them try to force Orion to dump Romulus! That could work.

RomanWolf: Yeah, but how would they get out of it?

CelestialCanine: Maybe they don't. We could have them break up and then Romulus mate the other wolf.

RomanWolf: No, he wouldn't do that. He's too in love with Orion. The bond wouldn't be there for the mating to occur.

CelestialCanine: Well it wouldn't stick anyway because didn't Romulus already mark Orion as his Intended?

RomanWolf: That's right, he did. The night of the solstice. So the mating wouldn't work and it wouldn't feel right to Rom. This could work. You want to start the thread or should I?

CelestialCanine: I'll start it. Want to pick up with them meeting up for lunch?

RomanWolf: Sure. I'll respond when I get home. Gotta go.

CelestialCanine: Have fun at work!

A dark haired man logged off his messenger and pulled up a website on his computer. Hogwarts was a role play site based in the magical world. It was actually one of the better rp sites he'd been on and just so happened to be where he found a kindred spirit. Though that was more of a not-so-little crush now. RomanWolf aka Romulus was his rp buddy on the site and since their random meeting on Hogwarts a year ago, Sirius had developed quite a liking of the man.

He knew the other rper was a guy who, just like him, liked other guys. They had had other discussions about that. Along with likes and dislikes, favorite foods, music, books, etc, and even had one really interesting discussion on preferred types of men and positions in bed. That one had made him blush. And have some vivid dreams. Though in those dreams they were their rp muses, Orion: the black dog shape-shifter and Romulus: the tawny brown werewolf.

"Sirius! Sirius! Up!" The man looked down at the mop of black hair that had appeared at his side. James and Lily must have come in without him knowing. The man hit send and watched his post appear on the screen before closing the laptop and picking his godson up.

"Heya Harry. Look at you, so heavy!"

"Am not! You just weak!" He couldn't help but laugh at the two year old. Harry gave him a toothy grin in return.

"Maybe you're just growing too fast for me to keep up. Would you look at that, another tooth came in! High five little man."

"And he is chewing poor Padfoot's paw to bits. You may want to save the poor thing." Lily held up the aged stuffed dog to Sirius that did indeed have a soggy left paw.

"Funny. I always favored the right one." He remembered quite fondly dragging the dog around via right paw in his mouth. It made Sirius happy to know that Harry was loving his favorite stuffed animal as much as he had.

"Ew, I didn't need to know that." James walked in with a glass of lemonade in hand and a grossed out look on his face.

"What, my baby sister never told you?" Lily rolled her eyes and tossed Padfoot over the desk to her brother and son.

"Padfoot!" Harry snatched the dog and immediately bit down on it's paw.

"Soooo, what are you up to tonight?" The red head's tone sent warning alarms off in Sirius' head. He looked up at her with suspicion in his eyes.

"Whhyyy?"

"Because, I may or may not just so happen to know a really cute guy that may or may not be interested in meeting you."

"Not interested."

"Sirius!"

"Lily!" It was amazing that he could make the exasperation in her voice to a perfect pitch. It usually only served to make her more frustrated.

"Come on, you can't stay hidden in a fake relationship with a fake guy in a fake simulated game." The man rolled his eyes and stood up, walking around the desk with Harry in his arms.

"First off, he's not fake. Second it's a role play site in which our muses are in a sort of really complicated relationship thing that we're about to add a heap of drama to. Third, I'm not hiding in anything." James shook his head at him.

"But you are. You won't even think of dating anyone because you have this massive crush on this guy. Who, by the way, you refuse to tell that you have a massive crush on."

"Because it could make things weird!" Lily smiled and took Harry.

"Good! It's settled then. You're coming out to dinner and meeting Remus. He's my new yoga partner and really good looking and he's gay. We actually talked about you for an hour today. He said it'd be fun to meet you sometime and I told him tonight was good so you're going. You're going to dress nice and be polite. Oh and fall completely madly in love with him."

"Oh is that all? I swear woman, you need to stop playing matchmaker with me. And what happened to Marly? I thought she was your yoga partner." Sirius, despite his claim that he wasn't going out was still following his sister's demand and getting dressed.

"Marly's on bed rest till the baby comes. Remus has been my yoga partner for almost two weeks now. No, not that shirt, the red one I got you for your birthday. And seriously? The leather jacket and combat boots?" Lily crossed her arms at her brother's choice of clothes.

"Red shirt, fine. But I intend to ride my bike Lils so get over the jacket and boots."

"But we're going to a nice restaurant Sirius."

"And no one is going to care about my jacket and boots Lily."

"God you can tell you two are related the way you bicker. Take Harry to the car Lils, we'll be down in a minute." James moved aside so his wife could head out to the car before turning to his brother-in-law.

"She really wants me to meet this guy huh?"

"And make a good impression obviously. Look, Sear, she's just worried for you. You're cooped up in the house and not going out like you used to. You haven't been on a date in months...Lily thinks you're deluding yourself into feeling like you're in a relationship with this Romulus guy when you aren't and it's not healthy." Sirius turned around as he slipped on his jacket, looking over to his best friend leaning on the door frame.

"But I'm not. I know we aren't dating. I just don't feel like dating any one at the moment is all."

"That's what I told her but you gotta admit it's weird. You were always out with guys and stuff and suddenly you weren't. I'm not saying that you have to go and meet Remus and fall in love and have adopted babies and stuff but at least meet him. He's really nice. If you still want to come home and immediately check your site for a post from Romulus then by all means, it's your life." The pair headed out and down the stairs from Sirius' third floor apartment.

"But..." There was always a but.

"You could also want to take Remus out for a ride on your bike or go for coffee sometime. Who knows, maybe once you've met him you will like him and want to date and fall in love and have adopted babies."

"Why do you keep saying adopted babies?" James shrugged and smiled at the grey eyed man.

"I don't know. It's what Lily says. She can't wait for you to one day meet the man of your dreams and have adopted babies that she can babysit. Personally, I think she just wants to hop them up on sugar and send them home as payback for all the times Harry's come home on a chocolate high." Sirius laughed as he headed toward his black GSX1250FA. He was going to go with a more traditional bike but when he saw the sleek sport bike it was all over. Sirius had honestly never thought he'd own a crotch rocket until he saw his Vixen.

She roared to life under him and within a few moments he was following the Potters' red hatchback down the road to dinner.

'Well, I guess meeting the guy wouldn't hurt.'

An: Ta da~! Review for me please? I do so love reviews. I will try to keep up with updates. This story won't be too long so it shouldn't be hard. (She says knowing that it may very well be a lie)
