So, new chap...thank you to everyone who reviewed :3
The morning after Sirius wakes up rather relieved, he slept very well, a dreamless sleep-much needed- totally Remus free. Yes, life shines brightly ahead of him. And he must admit he's quite eager to see who James will pick for him. There's a great chance his best friend will be able to find a boy he likes, and is allowed to like- without that sending him straight to Azkabam for breaking rule one of Friendship ' Never lust after your best friends, ever' – so yes he is in a good mood. Which is rare since first class is History of Magic, and he usually claims that he'd prefer being molested by Slughorn than hear Binns ramble about goblins, centaurs, giants and their everlasting wars. But today is a different day; today he might get over his infuriating infatuation for Remus Lupin.
But, alas, his hopes are shred to bits once his sight falls upon Moony wrapped only in a white towel, around his hips, pale skin glistening with lingering water droplets. The sunlight hits him just the right angle and makes his skin shine a thousand tiny rainbows, and light up all the faint pearly scars spread about his torso, arms and forearms. He manages to fight back a throaty moan as he takes in the godly sight before him.
"Oh, Hullo Pads, didn't see you standing there" Remus smiles cheerfully, looking inside his trunk for some underwear allowing Sirius full view of his white clad arse.
"Ugh...I was heading to the great hall for some toast, before Binns' torture session. Hell forbid entering that classroom with an empty stomach"
"Well if you manage to get past his dull voice the things he says are actually very interesting"
"Did you flush your brain down the toilet this morning, Moony?" He asks gaping at Remus like he sprouted a second head "Honestly the things you say..."
"But I'm serious"
"No, that would be me, you are Remus. Is it that hard to remember your own name?
"Oh sod off" despite his words he chuckles, now rummaging through his drawers "Wait for me will you?"
"Course, I'll be waiting outside" he says hastily as soon as Remus starts removing the towel around his narrow hips
"Why?" Remus asks, eyeing him suspiciously
"Uhm...er, I want to protect your modesty from prying eyes, so I'll guard the door"
"Its just the four of us sharing the room, I highly doubt my modesty is at stake"
"Well, I think otherwise...so yeah, see you outside" he storms out of the room as quickly as he can and then closes the door with a loud thud. Stupid jutting hipbones

Sirius is staring at Remus lips, because they are red, sinfully red, he blames the damn strawberry juice for that. Every time he opens his perfectly shaped mouth to talk or nibble at his food those lips drive Sirius to a new level of madness. He is acquainted with Remus' lips since first year and never thought about all the things they could do besides talk or eat, but now he has already found them a handful of new purposes. And he blames his hormonal teenage mind for that.
"So...she said she'd go to Hogsmeade with me if I bought her a new owl" Peter says dreamily staring off into space "I think she loves me" he sighs.
"I think she is an opportunist" says Remus sipping the damn strawberry juice "She obviously just wants a new owl, not a date" he says matter-of-factly.
"Remus' don't be so blunt, you just crushed little Peter's hopes to crumbs" James pats Peter's back playfully.
"S'okay Prongs, Moony just jealous because he doesn't have a date"
"In fact dear Wormtail, I do have a date" at this point Sirius sprays all his orange juice over Peter who is sitting in front of him.
"You have a date?" he asks completely shocked.
"Yes, and I think there are nicer ways to tell Peter he needs a bath"
"Who?"
"Peter..."
"No, who are you taking on a date?"
"I think that matter doesn't concern you on the least, Padfoot" Remus wipes his mouth neatly on a serviette and informs them he is going to the common room to get some books and Peter follows suit muttering something about 'bath' and cursing Sirius under his breath.
"He has a date. Did you hear that? He has a date!" Sirius grabs James by the shoulders and shakes him rather viciously.
"Alright, I get it" he shoves Sirius off him and puts his loop-sided glasses back in place "I don't see where the problem lays. He has a date, so what? Don't you think he is good looking enough to date whoever he wants?"
"Gah...that's not it" Sirius gasps and blushes, Remus is far more than good looking and that's exactly where the problem lays "S'just...he didn't tell us anything, we are his best friends and he didn't bother telling us"
"Maybe its not that big, maybe its not a romantic date...Its Moony we are talking about, I was starting to think he was asexual"
"Asexual people don't go on dates"
"So he's not asexual...Why do you care?"
"He's my friend of course I care"
"For Merlin's bollocks no one is going to rape him"
"I bloody hope no one dares" he huffs infuriated. He has to stop thinking about Remus, and he tells himself that, but unfortunately that's easier said than done.
"Let us forget about Remus' romantic life and focus a bit more on yours, shall we?" James lowers his voice almost to a whisper so nobody but Sirius can hear him "Remember about the thing you asked me yesterday? I think I found you a perfect one"
"Really? Who?" Sirius' curiosity wins over his concern over Remus, but the matter is not truly forgotten just stored in the back of his brain so he can fuss over it later.
"Rupert Finnegan, Ravenclaw...Ever heard of him?"
"Uhm, I don't think so"
"We have to fix that" James smirks, and Sirius instantly regrets ever mentioned he wanted his help.
---
Rupert Finnegan is a cute blond boy with lovely dark blue eyes, he is a few inches shorter than Sirius and seems to have a permanent blush, or he just likes make up...anyway, Sirius finds the boy quite charming and mentally pats James on the back for a job well done, at least on the outside the boy seems fine, if only he would say something
"So..." Sirius begins awkwardly. The two of them are somewhat hidden in an alcove for the ten minutes since he and James practically dragged the boy away from the Ravenclaw table "I believe James told you about...er..." this was so unbelievably uncomfortable. What was he supposed to do? Snog the boy without further useless pseudo-conversation? Ask him about his feelings? Gah, that wouldn't do. Imagine the boy went on a rampage about his eternal love for Sirius, and how we dreamt about their marriage, and the lovely children they would steal from a straight couple and then adopt as their own. Yes, must scratch option two. When he was leaning forward, just about to snog the boy into mighty oblivion with his super talented tongue that to that moment was never inside a male mouth, the boy discovered vocal chords and decided to put them to use.
"No offense but, I thought it would be James..." Sirius stands there motionless staring at the boy
"Uh?" Such coherence! Moony would be terribly proud if he could see him.
"Well, since he was the one who came to me the other day talking about epiphanies and boyish love, I thought he wanted to try it with another boy, that's why I agreed"
"No, the one with the epiphany and sudden crave for boyish love is me"
"I can see that now..."
"So this" he motions his hand between them "It's no good?"
"Of course not" the boy smiles shyly and without warning lunges forward capturing Sirius lips with his own. The kiss starts sloppy and uncoordinated, but being the amazing kisser he is Sirius adjusts his movements to the boy's and their tongues fight around each other for dominance. Sirius wins, the boy sighs, wrapping his arms around Sirius' neck while he presses his hand to the small of Rupert's back. Their bodies ram together and Sirius moans at the sudden contact, he gets hold of Rupert's waist and hoists him so he can wrap one of his legs around Sirius' hips.
It's all so feral and hot, nothing like kissing a girl. Definitely not, he doesn't need to be careful and gentle. With a boy its all rough touches and poorly suppressed lust. Rupert grinds against him and he manages to bite back a particular loud moan. The boy starts biting Sirius' lower lip lightly and he runs his tongue over the blonds' upper lip before going down and licking his neck coercing soft pants out of him.
"Moony" he whispers like a prayer, wishing the lithe body he holds belonged to a tawny haired boy with marvellous amber eyes.
Suddenly Rupert pulls away facing him with dishevelled hair and lust clouded eyes "Is not me you want" he says without a hint of emotion.
"No" he doesn't find the strength to lie, not to Rupert not to himself.
"Its okay" The shy smile returns to the boy's rosy lips and he grasps Sirius' hand "He'll come around"
Sirius nods, how we wishes Rupert is right "Thanks"
Rupert's face lights up and he pecks Sirius softly on the lips "You're welcome, see you Sirius"
He watches as the boy runs down the corridor and finally vanish from his sight. Sirius sighs and clasps both hands behind his neck.
"I'm so fucked"

He reaches History of Magic ten minutes late and professor Binns completely ignores him as he sits down between Remus and James.
James faces him with a knowing look and a sly smile "How did it go?"
"Yeah, I definitely like boys...just not him"
"Why not? He seemed fine" James forehead creases as he ponders the many reasons why the boy he had so much trouble finding doesn't suit Sirius' tastes. Honestly, he thought Rupert was just perfect for his friend, someone he could easily dominate, who was apparently shy but had a mischievous glint to his eyes. So why was Sirius complaining?
"It's just...I dunno, he was very attractive, but hell...there wasn't any flame" he shrugs
"Okay, I get it, I'll try again"
"No, James listen, its not necessa..."
"Don't you even dare Sirius Black. I got myself into this, and James Potter never backs out from a challenge" he completely forgets about discretion and his loud voice raises a few heads.
"That's lovely James, now could you please shut up? Some of us are trying to pay attention" Remus butts in and glares at both of them his lips pressed to a thin line as his eyes scream bloody murder.
"Sorry, Remus love...James thinks he's Batman" Sirius chuckles and absently-minded plays with one of Remus locks twisting the soft hair around his finger.
"Not that again, last week he was Superman" he sighs but resumes taking notes, without complaining about Sirius fingers on his hair.
"Won't you tell me who you're taking to Hogsmeade next weekend?"
"No, Sirius I already told you, it has nothing to do with you"
"But I wanna know" he whines and tugs at Remus' arm "Please, Moony"
"Stop it, no is no...If you are a good do..boy I'll share some of my chocolate with you" he rubs his temples in annoyance but flashes Sirius a smile, he can never stay angry at him, those sad puppy eyes always win.
"Really? Even the ones with peppermint?" his eyes brighten up immediately at the prospect of getting his hands on Remus' secret stash. The finest chocolate ever known to humankind and he is finally going to taste it.
"Yes, even those, now please keep silent"
"Whatever you wish, Moony love"
