A.N: This is a little thing I did for a challenge that had to involve Sirius and a Coconut:) Enjoy x
Sirius Black was a man of great pride. He was a man of mischief and a man of laughter. Flatly, if you did not impress him, you were to be ignored. He was a little conceited, and very smug. He was vain, and obsessed with his appearance.
Sirius Black did give everybody a chance though. Regardless of blood status or lineage.
Sirius Black was like a coconut.
On the outside, he was rock hard. He was his own man; he was superior and occasionally cruel. He had no patience for the ignorant or the sly.
His mere appearance was dark, just like a coconut. Dark hair, dark eyes, dark glare. Dark aura. His blood value was even dark.
But Sirius gave anyone the opportunity to open him up.
A coconut is an intriguing thing, as is Sirius an intriguing person. It takes the very patient and very skilled to pry open the hard case of a coconut. It took the very patient and very skilled to pry open Sirius.
Once Sirius let you in, you found something so unique, so special and pure.
Like a coconut, Sirius was light on the inside, a contrast to the dark shell he once was encased in.
Like the milk of a coconut, Sirius was a reward for the patient and a pleasure for the greedy. He was bursting with energy and acceptance and beauty.
Sirius was refreshing, like the milk of a coconut. In dark times, you would turn to him for support, for laughter, for refreshment. He cooled you down, he nourished you, he quenched your thirst for acceptance.
Your journey with Sirius would not be easy though. It took many methods to pry open his lid. Some tried sneaky ways, they failed. Some tried to burst it open, they failed. Some even tried to crack it, but they failed too.
If they had researched the best way to open a coconut they would find that it was simply to locate its soft spot and work on it from there.
Sirius Black was a tough one to crack, but once he was open to you; his outer shell was long forgotten.
