Alright. There we go! One more chapter for every chapter Remus had.. And.. I was quite smitten by the idea of doing a date chapter as well. So I might.. Either way. I very much suggest you read Remus' chapter before reading this one, but I won't force you!

'I can't believe you fell for that guy!' James complained.
'Oh come one! He was hot, hot, hot. Exotic, fierce. Did you even see his ass? That's what I want my men to be. Spicy.'
'Insane. You make them sound like those cinnamon cupcakes you devour every day. You should try one, Sirius. The clove makes it so exotic. So hot. Try something plane now and then. Vanilla. Chocolate. You might like it.'

'Chocolate!' Sirius huffed. 'You want to match a man like me with something like chocolate? You, my man. You are insane.'
'Of course I am. But so are you. Just try for once. Like. Well. Like him.' James pointed as he opened the door and a man with a muffin stuck between his teeth came in view. Exactly the kind of guy Sirius should be with. James was a lot more observant than people gave him credit for. He could tell straight away that guy could tie Sirius down. Preferably not literally in his company but still.
'Him? You are insane.'
But within, Sirius wasn't all that sure. He'd never go for a man like that. But seeing the man with that muffin stuffed in his mouth.. It wasn't even erotic. It was just.. Funny.
'Fine.' Sirius finally said.
'What?' James stared at him in disbelieve.
'I'll give him a try.'
'Excellent.' James said, still stunned Sirius gave in to his random blurting out. 'Let's go find out where Lils is, though. Food is worth nothing without her.'

Sirius watched James walk up to the counter as he started talking to the young man. As the man averted his eyes from whatever he was doing to James, Sirius' heart skips a beat. It's never done that before and he frowns, blaming the golden eyes for it. He's never seen eyes like that before. He slowly walks up to the counter but steps in his track as the golden eyes move towards his.

Fuck. Sirius thinks to himself. He's bloody perfect.

The man quickly pulls the muffin from his mouth as their eyes meet and a huge sliver of drool escapes from his mouth. He tries to catch it with his hand and succeeds but let's be honest.. It's still adorable. Since when is that the thing for him? Sirius uses the furious blush and moment of shame to walk up to the counter as the man cleans his hand and James is tumbling over, still laughing about something he apparently said earlier.

'Aren't you charming.' Sirius says, smiling at the golden-eyed man. 'You missed some, over there.' He moves his own thumb over the corner of his own mouth and the man follows his example. There's a furious shame in his eyes that somehow only makes him more enchanting. Did James know this man would be here? Is this all just a ruse to get him lay off the one night stands for a while? Not going to happen. Right?

'Would you like to order?' He quickly averts his look. Is he playing shy or is he actually shy?

'Might come in handy. He-' Sirius nods at the man who is now coming to terms with his laughter and wiping the tears from his eyes 'will have a cappuccino and a lemon square, as usual. I'll have a coffee, black. And ah. Hmm.' He leans a little closer towards the cashier, locking their eyes. 'What would you advise?'

Quickly he averts his eyes again, cursing the blush on his cheeks.
'I think you'll like the cinnamon cupcakes. They have a hint of clove in them. Suits the weather.'
'I love cinnamon. One of those for me, then.' Sirius smiles and slaps a twenty on the counter as the man quickly takes the order and makes him a receipt.
'Lily will bring it in a second.'
'We know.' Sirius takes the change from him, unfortunately no touching of hands and puts most of it in the tip jar. Then he walks off, pulling James, who's finally coming to terms with himself, to their usual table.

As soon as they sit down, James leans his head on his hand and starts his daily dose of drooling over the red haired vixen that wants nothing to do with him. Sickening. Every now and then Sirius shots a glare over at the counter and he's sure their eyes meets every now and then, no matter how brief.
He watches how the man gives Lily a piece of paper, the receipt probably, then picks up his coat and leaves.

Sirius follows his every step to the door. The man is nothing like his usual conquers. He's skinny. Shy. Walks as if he grew too much in a short period of time and he isn't completely used to his limbs yet. But those eyes..

He hardly pays attentions to the awkward situation as Lily brings over their order and James starts his usual, incredibly uncomfortable flirting. The man knew his way around here. Perhaps he worked here.. But he never saw him before.

What if he'd never see him again?
His teeth bore into the cinnamon cupcake.
He didn't like it anymore.
