"Come on, take a step towards me

So you can figure me out

I've been hoping and praying for a single way

To show you what I'm all about."

-The Scene Aesthetic "Beauty in the Breakdown"

"BLACK!" she screeched, her fists clenching with annoyance.

"What?" he asked, giving her his best innocent look as he removed his arm from around her slim waist.

Lily rolled her green eyes at him and answered, "I am trying to teach you Potions –this is not 'Let's make moves on Lily' time."

Sirius gave her a goofy smile that was infamous for melting hearts. "Lily, why don't you let me be the teacher?" He raised his eyebrows at her and then winked.

She punched his shoulder but a smile played on her lips afterwards. "Black, do you really need help with Potions?"

He shook his head, grinning wickedly. "Nope, I just wanted to talk to you."

"About?"

He shrugged his shoulders and looked around the empty classroom as he nodded his head. "Why don't you like me?"

Lily's cheeks turned a faint shade of pink as she suddenly became interested in the wooden floor. "I thought you were Potter's best friend…?"

"Yeah…" he said, slowly. He considered this for a moment and sighed. "You don't like him, though, right?"

"Well, he isn't as bad as he was before...but I'm still not really interested."

Sirius scooted his chair over, closer to Lily, and rested his head on his hand, causing his shaggy black hair to fall over his eyes. He bit his lip lightly as he stared at her porcelain face -he could definitely understand why his best friend was in love with her. She was beautiful and so, so bold –nothing like those giggly girls that he was use to –she was a real lady. "Then why don't you give me a chance?" he questioned her, using his best purr. "I've liked you longer than James has…"

Lily looked up at him, slightly startled at his words. He must have liked her quite a long time, considering the fact that they were in their sixth year –who knew if he was telling the truth, though. He was known for being, for lack of a better word, quite the dog. "You don't even know what it is like to like someone –you just use girls," she retorted, her tone a little bit harsher than she planned.

His expression faltered momentarily but he regained his composure in record time –he doubted that she even noticed how the harshness in her voice affected him. "I know that I like you 'cause you're different than those other girls… They used me just as much as I used them, anyways."

She thought about this last statement and could see the truth in it –all those girls wanted was the chance to say that Sirius had 'chosen' them. They never gave a damn about him so why should he give a damn about them? When she looked back up at him, her cheeks got warm as her emerald eyes met with his playful grey ones. "Black…"

He leaned in closer to her –not close enough to kiss but enough that she could feel his warm, sweet breath on her face. "Lily," he purred again, "why don't you use my first name?"

She tried to deny to herself that she felt anything other than friendship for Potter's best friend but with his close proximity and his breath on her face, she couldn't push away her feelings any longer. Every time their hands touched by accident, every time their shoulders brushed in the halls, every time he said her name with his smooth voice… Who was she trying to fool? Only herself…

Sirius slid a little bit closer to her once again –he reached out slowly and combed a hand through her lengthy, scarlet hair. He was mildly surprised when she didn't pull away but brought herself closer to him, their knees touching.

"Sirius…" she said, her voice barely more than a whisper. "I don't want to hurt Ja-, I mean, Potter…"

Their eyes locked and the last thing that Sirius wanted to think about was his friend right now. "James doesn't need to know…" A huge wave of guilt rose inside of his stomach but he pushed the feeling away as he shook his head slowly. He gradually leaned towards her, watching her every expression.

Lily closed her eyes and pushed her lips onto his.

I swear that I am a true Lily/James shipper, lol. I have been in such a Lily/Sirius mood lately, though.

This was done for XxRandomxX's iPod Shuffle challenge in HPFC. There will be about five chapters to this so keep an eye out.

Thanks Mew for being a siriusly super beta.
