The next chapter will be more interesting lol..
It took three days for Sirius' fever to go. During that time he wasn't left alone, there was either Remus or Peter watching over him through the day. James had tried once but Sirius hadn't said a word to him so he had got angry and left. The days after were harder. The boys were constantly worried Sirius would do something stupid and Sirius felt like he was on a leash. Which was slightly ironic. On top of that, Lily was always around. It was rarely just the four of them anymore and constantly seeing James with Lily made Sirius feel like he was dying inside.
The worst thing that had happened was that Sirius had come into the dorms to grab a text book and found James and Lily making out on the bed, he had dashed out, slamming the door and bolted down to the common room. After that he had started trying to avoid James, which wasn't easy when James didn't wan to be avoided. Sirius was pretty sure James wanted to talk to him about what had happened since the night he had ended it but that was something Sirius wanted to keep well off topic.
He and Regulus met up more often now. Sirius wanted to keep an eye on him, make sure he wasn't getting too sucked into the whole 'Dark Lord' thing. It was also good to have someone to talk to that knew him like his friends did, more even, and not be under surveillance from them.
Sirius' self esteem had depleted. He kept missing breakfast because he couldn't be bothered to get out of bed. Then he tried to avoid lunch because Lily would be there and the couple would kiss and act romantically. Sirius had taken to nipping into the kitchens, when he could, to grab a sandwich. He wasn't sure why he was acting so drastically but being around James and Lily made him queasy and he couldn't look at them. And he was back to cutting in secret.
It wasn't long before James got fed up with the whole thing. One Tuesday afternoon when they had finished lessons, he dragged Sirius (who had been reading a book in the corner of the Common Room) into an alcove of the room and proceeded to tell him off for acting so stupidly.
"Sirius! Will you please STOP being so fucking childish about all this?!" James fumed.
Sirius stood there with his mouth slightly agape. This wasn't very nice of James and people were starting to stare.
"Why can't you just be happy for me? The girl I've loved since First Year has finally agreed to go out with me and all you can do is sulk!" Ouch. That stung. Sirius glared and tried to push past James but he was blocking the way.
"NO, Sirius, you're going to explain why you're being so selfish!" Sirius was angry, James had no right!
"You want to know, Potter? You were the first relationship I had felt love in and the moment before you break up with me you give me some of the more amazing sex I've ever had! Then you tell me you agreed to go out with someone else. While still dating me." Sirius was practically yelling and James was regretting that he'd started it but luckily Lily wasn't present. There was silence in the Common Room. Remus got up and put a hand on James' shoulder looking rather serene. Sirius looked like a trapped puppy.
"James..Sirius...enough okay?" Remus said quietly. "Here isn't the most private place."
"It's fine. We're done." Sirius muttered staring ahead. James made to protest but Remus pulled him towards the fire, leaving Sirius free to go.
He was out of the Common Room in a flash and on his way to the secret tapestry room.
