I own nothing

He woke slowly his head pounding as if he'd been drinking all night. Soft fingers shushed him, lips whispered over his skin tracing soothing patterns over his sandpaper throat. He cracked his eyes open with a groan. His mate… Instantly he was sitting up staring wildly at the boy beside him wondering if it was an illusion. He reached a shaky hand out trailing his fingers over the high cheek bones and delicate lips before covering them with his own. He didn't care that his head was pounding, didn't care that he had no memory of what had happened to leave him in this state, all he cared about was his mate lying with him making delicious little noises as he devoured, tasting, touching, re-claiming, apologizing, all that his overloaded mind could do to reassure that his lover and mate was with him, beside him, and perhaps most importantly…not going anywhere.

"Blaise." He hissed firmly. "Never leave me again." He bit down on the boy's lower lip. "No matter how much of an idiot I am, never leave me." He claimed the gasping lips in a searing kiss only pulling back when he needed air.

"I hate you." Blaise said with fire in his eyes. Sirius flinched but nodded his head.

"I deserved that." He agreed. An elegant eyebrow arched.

"You also deserve this!" Sirius grunted as a small fist- one that really shouldn't have been able to do that much damage- crashed into his jaw sending him flying through the air till his back made contact with the wall- painfully. He slid down cradling his most obviously broken jaw with one hand while the other tenderly probed the large lump on the back of his head. The sounds of feet running up the wooden steps did nothing to stop Blaise from his rant. "YOU IGNORANT, SELF-SERVING, SHORTSIGHTED, INANE, THICK-SKINNED, DEPRAVED, ODIOUS, BLACKGUARD! HOW COULD ONCE EVEN THINK THAT I WOULD EVER, JOIN THAT MONSTER!" Blaise paused to catch his breath red faced and angry. Those who had opened the door to see what was happening were slowly backing away, terrified of the very red eyes that were currently zeroed in on Sirius.

"Bwewtifuw." Sirius managed wincing at the pain. It was then that the order decided that Sirius Black had indeed lost his mind. Blaise twitched visibly.

"Excuse me?" He whispered dangerously. Sirius looked at him with sparkling grey eyes.

"I swed you ook bewetifuw, espwecially when your angwy." Blaise closed his eyes tightly and breathed deeply rubbing his forehead.

"You're an idiot." Blaise said hopelessly. "A brainless half-whit who barley managed to live through Hogwarts." Sirius, if possible looked as if he was grinning.

"But you wub me." He said. Blaise sighed exasperatedly.

"No, I'm pretty sure I hate you right about now." Blaise said shaking his head as he located his wand and healed Sirius' jaw. Sirius smirked.

"There's a thin line between love hand hate." He insisted. Blaise glared.

"That doesn't even deserve a witty come-back Sirius." Blaise said shaking his head. "If all you can do is come up with over used cliché's than I suggest you never take up writing."

"Agreed." Snape said from the door. It was always fun to watch his school nemesis get a tongue lashing from a fellow Slytherin.

"Stay out of it." Sirius said petulantly. "This is between me and Blaise!" He looked expectantly at Blaise who only raised an eyebrow at him in response.

"You mean, Blaise and I oh, wise and illiterate mate of mine?" Sirius looked thoughtful for a moment before smiling.

"Yeah, what ever the point is that it's between you and me, Snape has nothing to do with it." Sirius said stubbornly. Blaise looked up at the ceiling as if it had all the answers.

"Did he hit his head too hard?" He wondered aloud before tuning his attention back to his mate. "Sirius, I didn't come back for you, I came back because Severus told me that if I even thought of leaving he would castrate me." The male members of the order winced uncomfortably. "He even put a spell on me while I was asleep to keep me from leaving without his express permission." Sirius finally managed to look crest fallen.

"So you're staying?" He asked sounding a bit too hopeful. Blaise's lip twitched quirking into a small smile.

"Yes Sirius I'm staying." He relented. "But I'm still mad at you!" He added. Sirius didn't bother to stop the grin from sliding across his face as he stood and quickly crossed the room pulling Blaise into his arms. For a moment Blaise was stiff, then, with a sigh that spoke of the long-suffering of dealing with an imbecile he relaxed.

"Black." Snape said his eyes narrowed. Sirius looked at him without relinquishing his hold on his mate.

"Don't you have anything better to do?" Sirius said irritably. "You know, students to terrify, innocent creatures to dissect?" Blaise sighed deeply and muttered curse words into his shoulder. Severus narrowed his eyes.

"Actually Black there was something that I meant to do, but with Blaise missing I never got the chance, could you come here for a moment?" Blaise chuckled and pulled away from his mate brushing past his professor.

"Don't forget the silencing charms." He warned as he made his way out of the room. "Oh," He called back just as the door was about to shut behind him. "don't heal him unless it's something dire." Sirius whimpered as the door clicked closed. Blaise smiled satisfied as a wash of magic settled over the wood and a locking charm was added to the mix. Tea, sounded wonderful he decided as he made his way down the creaking stairs whistling the Hogwarts school song to himself.
