MA- I Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!... maybe…

Chapter Four-

After the shock of being stuck in a nebulous white none-world with the infamous criminal Sirius Black wore off, Nathan decided that this was just par for the course with him. The man seemed friendly enough and swore he was innocent, framed by a former friend now turned traitor. At the very least, the little bit of psychology Nathan had been exposed to and studied(for the normal human, it would be considered rather a lot, but this IS Nathan Stark we are dealing with here) Sirius didn't seem to have the mentality type to murder on the large scale. After talking with the man for what may have been a few minutes or hours, days maybe- time was still very abstract in this place, Nathan had no idea how necessities such as food and water could be ignored, and at the startling realization that he didn't feel any pressing need for anything; food, water, bathroom, he wondered if he was merely breathing out of habit and reflex rather then for need- But, after talking with Sirius a while, Nathan had come to the conclusion that both Sirius and this place he was in, were relatively harmless. He wouldn't want to provoke either, but he felt no fear for his person at the moment.

He had grown comfortable with the man, he was at the moment giving the man's "animagus form" a belly-rub with one hand, while he sat cross legged and told of another disaster at Global Dynamics that had, yet again, been prevented by the frustratingly lucky sheriff. The discussion of how Sirius was able to turn into a dog had lead to an explanation of magic, which Sirius had deemed safe to tell Nathan about since it was very unlikely he'd tell anyone. Nathan had flat out stated "magic doesn't exist, everything has a scientific explanation", which lead to a rather heated debate. Nathan anti-magic, Sirius pro-magic and the matter went unresolved, since both men were rather stubborn and instead decided to ignore the topic or risk losing the only other person they could talk to at the moment.

As Nathan wrapped up his tale Sirius let out a rough bark Nathan had come to recognize as the man's laugh. He raised an eyebrow at his furry companion in question. Sirius' tongue was lolling out of his black muzzle as he looked up between his front paws at Nathan.

"You know, the way you talk about this Sheriff guy I have to wonder if you got a crush on him. Just about every story I've heard from you mentions him and the way you describe your fights I keep picturing myself when I pulled the girls pigtails as a kid to get their attention." Nathan's eyes widened in shock.

"You've got to be joking. Carter and I? Not in the least bit likely." The dog-man just rolled his eyes in amusement before he let his head fall back on the ground.

"Denial is not just a river in Egypt."

"I'm not in denial. It is not going to happen. I've got Allison, and Jack has… well… Jack had Allison until I got her." He rubbed the dog's belly harder, causing a leg to twitch in a rather humorous fashion.

"Oh yeeah, that's the spot." Sirius muttered in bliss before continuing, "You saw Jack was going after someone else, got jealous, and decided to get back at him by going after the same person."

"Thank you Dr. Phil, but no. I don't do jealousy."

"Riiiight." Nathan huffed, then smirked evilly and stopped rubbing, earning a whine from the dog.

"Fine! I'll drop it, just don't stop the scratching." Nathan's smirk grew in triumph before he finally continued the belly rub.

"I hope you realize the fact that I'm giving you a belly rub could be thought of as rather disturbing on many levels to some people."

Sirius' tail wagged as he replied. "Thank Merlin you're not "some people" then."

End Chapter Four

MA- Woot! Chapter four finito! I promise to post more within the next week, so please don't stab me with sporks for such a short chappy and for keeping people in suspense about our crew in GD!

Also! I got a question about pairings. The only one I really don't have a pairing idea for at the moment is (oddly enough) Harry. Suggestions would be welcome (please remember I already have Ron/Ginny/Draco out of the picture, I have a Hermione pairing already in mind, and as much as I love it I'm not pairing Snape and Harry in this one) Obviously I have no objections what-so-ever about slash/crack pairings.

And in closing… REVIEW PLEASE!
