Chapter One

"How are you doing?"
"I'm drunk."
"That's good," he laughed, "Come on love, lets get you home. I think you've had enough excitement for one night."
He slung my arm over his shoulder as he lifted me from the couch, dragging me to my feet. I swayed on the spot.
"How much did you drink?" He laughed again.
"Uh, I can't remember, too much I think," I laughed. "Ugh everything's spinning. Make it stop."
"Charlize, what am I going to do with you?"
"What do you want to do with me?"
"You are too drunk."
"You can never be too drunk." I slurred as we made our way to the front door.
"Bye everyone, Happy New Years."
"Be careful!"
The air was ice to my lungs as we slowly made our way down the street. It was such a good thing we only lived around the corner. I would have never made it otherwise.
"Sirius what would I do without you?"
"Fall over drunk."
"I'm being serious."
"Well am I supposed to be you then?"
"Shut up, I mean it!"
He sighed, "I don't know. I don't know what I would do without you."
I smiled and looked up into the eyes of the man that I have loved for my entire life. I had no idea what life would be like without him and I didn't want to know. He was my lover, my best friend, my guardian, my everything. I stood on tip toe to give him a kiss.
"I love you." I whispered. He rested his forehead against mine as we stopped in the street. Snow swirled around us; the cold didn't even bother me any longer as he stared into my eyes.
"I love you too."
"Sirius make love to me."
He smiled and carried me the rest of the way across the street, into our house. My lips collided with his as soon as the door was closed. As swiftly as I could I tried to remove his coat. Sirius chuckled as I fumbled with the its many buttons.
"Well this is going to be an interesting night."
"Shut up."
As I spoke Sirius began to leave kisses along the exposed area of my neck. He was much more successful then I at removing my coat.
"You are so beautiful." He murmured against my neck.
