Chapter 14

Day 34

He is plotting something He told me that, but I still don't know what it is and it kind of annoys me. Little bastard is really good at distracting me from… everything. I completely forgot to reply to everyone yesterday.

Severus remembered. He wrote replies to everyone. I wrote replies to NO ONE! I would have but after he wrote his letters he started dancing around and it was, distracting.

I'll write replies today.

James looked up from his journal to see Severus looking down at the belly dance book and trying to follow the instructions. James figured he was doing a good job, it looked sexy as hell to him, but Severus always got frustrated. He wasn't 100% sure if he was doing things right since the pictures were still.

"I really should ask if we can at least have moving pictures," Severus muttered to himself as he tried to follow the footwork.

"Your arms are falling again," pointed out James. It was one of the things that kept happening. When Severus was concentrating on his footwork, his arms dropped to his sides, when they should have been raised slightly and move with him.

The only reason James even knew this was because Severus had complained, loudly, about how he couldn't keep his arms up. If he was doing, arm and shoulder isolations he was able to keep them up, the second the feet came into play his arms just dropped to his sides.

"Just give it a rest," smiled James as he watched Severus let out an exasperated sigh. Severus nodded, flipped the book closed, and walked over to cuddle with James on the couch.

"But I must conquer it! I can't let it beat me!" James tried his best to not laugh as he picked up his book and let Severus cuddle with him. They were quiet for a whole five seconds before Severus spoke again. "So aren't you going to write letters to your friends? You forgot to do that yesterday."

"I will after lunch," shrugged James.

"You want to see what Sirius writes to me before you write a letter don't you," smiled Severus.

"Maybe," admitted James. Severus just smiled and went back to snuggling. It wasn't long before he was asleep and James was sitting their quietly reading. He was starting to enjoy the subtle comforts like this. Sex was always nice, but being able to just sit quietly without needing to speak was a pleasure that James had never known he had craved.

James had only read four chapters when Clyde brought them lunch and a stack of letters for Severus. Gently, James woke up his boyfriend and pointed out the food. "I'll read my letters while you eat so you don't sit here and twitch," decided Severus as he handed James his sandwich and picked up the stack of letters.

As soon as the pair had gotten into a comfortable position where they could both read the letters, Severus opened Peter's letter, since it was most likely the shortest of the four.

Severus

I am glad you liked the cake! And thank you for the feed back. You know you are the first person to offer suggestions for improvement!

Would it be okay if I sent you more cake samples?

Peter

"I will never say no to cake," muttered Severus as he set the letter down. James nodded in agreement, excited that they would be getting more sweets from Peter.

Severus

If you have James obsessively reading these books then they must be good. I am tempted to just go down to a muggle bookstore and buying the first one. I wouldn't mind something new to read other than school work.

Do you have any other suggestions other then Dresden and Game of Thrones?

Remus

"There are so many I could suggest," noted Severus. "I think he should just start there and then we can talk about other options."

"Your choice, Love," smiled James as he finished his sandwich. He didn't care since he had only been reading Dresden during the brake, and as far as he cared that was the only series that mattered. Severus seemed to sense the thoughts and gave his boyfriend a playful nudge before picking up Lily's letter.

Severus

I can't wait! I sent a message to McGonagall to ask about it. I will tell you what she says, (unless she sends you a letter too). I can't wait for school to start. But the dancing really is kind of hard! I am lucky my books move. Try and convince the Headmaster that you need your pictures to move!

Lily

"She is so fucking stoked," laughed James.

"I think she just likes that I'm not sulking in a corner," muttered Severus. Their relationship had been strained due to Severus's depression. At least he is finally pulling himself out of it, thought James as he watched Severus pick up Sirius's letter.

Sevy

Fuck! I want to fuck you! I'll make it really good for you too. I'm a master. James says no, but you seem okay with it to me. He'll come around and if he doesn't he doesn't have to know.

Yeah I want to know your secret.

Sirius

Slowly, Severus put the letter down, picked up a piece of paper and started writing.

Siri

My secret is that I always sit in James's lap when I read my mail. He's read every letter you have sent to me

Severus held the paper to James. "You wanna write something, Lovey?"

"God you're evil," smiled James as he took the paper and wrote his own message.

Really dude? I hope you realize how much fun this little fox has had teasing you.

Also, still not sharing.

James handed the letter back to Severus so that he could finish it.

You're going to have to do a lot more than flirt with me to get me to agree to anything.

XOXO

Severus and James

"You are such an ass," smiled James. Normally he wasn't for tormenting his friends, but Sirius had pissed him off, and he figured his friend could use a bit of a shock.

"I try," replied Severus airily as he picked up is own lunch and ate. James brushed his lover's hair out of his face and put it behind his ear. Severus leaned into the touch as the pair relaxed on the couch.

Once he was done with his food, Severus let out a content little sigh and moved further down the couch so he could lay down with his head resting on James's stomach. "Comfortable?" asked James as he pet Severus.

Instead of saying anything, Severus just nuzzled his stomach before closing his eyes. They had so little to do in the room that it wasn't out of the norm for one of them, usually Severus, to take a nap. However as James sat there the realization that he couldn't write letters, or read his book. I guess it's nap time for me too, though James as he snuggled down on the couch a little more and fell asleep.

Day 35

Well today has started, oddly. I once again forgot to reply to my friends, I took a nap, read, and snuggled Severus all day. My day was totally booked I just couldn't fit it in… yes.

This morning I got the "things" I asked for from Clyde at dinner yesterday. I am legit surprised that he got them for me. He said he had to ask the Headmaster about letting me have them, and apparently that old pervert gave us the okay.

I bet he is somehow watching us… gross.

Whatever not giving up sex just on the off chance some pervy old man is watching me bang my boyfriend.

Severus got a few books today. They are belly dance books but these ones move. Sev is having a much easier time now. McGonagall sent him a letter saying that if him and Lily were serious that they both needed to practices at least two hours a day. She even gave him a little timer, and some basic instructions. Apparently, she asked a dance instructor for some pointers for them.

McGonagall is so cool she really is helping them a lot. I need to thank her… even if she would probably know right away that I have ulterior motives.

…

He keeps looking at the time.

I think he is hoping he s done for the day.

He does look tired.

And he's screaming.

Like, he is still dancing, but he has added screaming.

On the ground. He just decided to flop down on the ground… I think that is actually child's pose.

Okay I need to go comfort him.

James got up and set his journal down as he walked over to Severus. "I hate shimmies," groaned Severus.

"You looked like you were doing good to me," said James as he kneeled down and rubbed Severus's back.

"I can do them for awhile, but the lady in the letter said I need to just… keep doing them! Like were talking straight fifteen minutes. I can't fucking do that! I can barley do three!"

"Just takes practice," smiled James as Severus sat up and hugged him. "How about you go take a shower to relax and cool off and I'll get a surprise ready for you?"

"A surprise?" asked Severus as he finally looked up at James. "Does it have anything to do with that box Clyde gave you?"

"Yep, and you're about to find out what it is, but first, shower. Go get nice and relaxed for me."

"Should I put on clothes?" teased Severus as he got up and started heading for the bathroom.

"Why the fuck would you put on clothes?" Severus just rolled his eyes and went into the bathroom, leaving James alone to his own devices.

James stayed where he was until he heard the water running. He knew he had plenty of time, but he wanted to make sure that, Severus didn't suddenly come back out when he was setting everything up.

The decent sized box contained a two more boxes. The first one James pulled out was a blindfold. He honestly could have just made one out of what they had laying around, but this was easier, and would be more comfortable.

The second larger box was what James had actually wanted. He had written a note to the Headmaster asking if he knew about rope that 'wouldn't hurt your skin'. In response, he had been given silk rope set up for the bed. There was a long middle rope that had six more ropes splitting off from it; two at each end and two in the middle. At the end of each of the ropes was a loop that had a simple slipknot so that they could easily be tightened or loosened.

"This is going to be so much fun," whispered James as he lifted the mattress of their bed and placed the middle rope under it. Once the centerline was going down the middle of the box spring, James dropped the mattress and pulled the other six ropes out form under each corner and sides of the bed.

"Now if they weren't hot pink they would be perfect," muttered James as he made sure everything was perfect. "I'll just make them black when I get my wand back."

After making the last few adjustments, James heard the water of the shower turn off. Knowing Severus would be coming out of the bathroom soon; James picked up the blindfold and went to head off his boyfriend before he saw the bed.

Severus was drying off with a towel when he walked in. "Someone is impatient," joked Severus when he saw James.

"Just want to make sure that everything is perfect," whispered James as he walked up behind Severus and kissed the back of his neck. "I have something for you."

"What is it?"

"Close your eyes," instructed James. Severus did as he was told and James gently tied the blindfold in place.

"Is the blindfold the present," purred Severus.

"Part of it," whispered James as he nipped his lover's ear. "The rest of it is on the bed." Severus made an intrigued hum as James took him by the hand and gently led him to the bed.

Carefully, James lifted Severus up bridal style and set him in the middle of the bed. "I need you to hold still, Love. Just lay there. Do not move unless I say so." Severus made a little whine and nodded, he was already getting hard and James hadn't even touched him yet.

"Arms above you head," instructed James. Severus obeyed immediately and was obviously doing his best to not wiggle around. He's really excited, thought James as he slipped the left loop over Severus's left hand and tightened it around the wrist.

By the time, James had tightened the rope of the right wrist; Severus was standing at full attention and practically vibrating. "You okay, Love?" asked James as he picked up the right center rope and slipped it over Severus's right ankle.

"Yes," whimpered Severus as the feeling of his legs being pulled open excited him more. More out of curiosity than nervousness, Severus gently tried to close his legs. He wasn't uncomfortable, since his knees were bent, but he was spread just wide enough that he could feel a slight burning of his inner thighs.

"Not too much for you?" asked James as he rubbed Severus's right thigh. "I can loosen it if you need me to."

Severus shook his head. He actually wanted to be spread further, but he also knew he shouldn't risk it since it was his first time doing this. "No, I like it. It was just a twitch."

"Alright, Love," said James warmly as he kissed his boyfriends knee. "I'm going to get undressed. Don't move."

How the fuck would, I move? thought Severus defiantly, but the command in his lover's voice made his heart skip. He wished James would be rougher with him, but they were both new at this, and the gentle treatment had its charm as well.

As Severus lay on the bed, James got undressed, grabbed a condom and lube, before crawling onto the bed. "You ready, Love?" asked James as he lifted Severus's hips a little so he could slide a pillow under him.

"Yes, James," whined Severus as he grew impatient. "Want you on top of me."

"I'm getting there," teased James as he covered his fingers in lube. Severus opened his mouth to snap at James, but his words turned into a gasp as James slipped his fingers inside his lover.

James wrapped his free arm around Severus's thigh and rubbed it as he took Severus into his mouth. Severus let out a started cry as James sucked him in time with the movement of his fingers. James could feel Severus straining against the ropes as his breathing became uneven and ragged.

Every time Severus pulled too hard on the bindings, James would squeeze and pull his thighs open more. The added strain made Severus cry out in pleasure as his back bent off the bed. "James! I'm—"

James's mouth went to the base of Severus's cock as he sucked harder and started thrusting his fingers in roughly. Severus's body suddenly went rigid as James felt his hot cum hit the back of his throat. James moaned as he sucked harder and drank it down. The taste didn't bother him anymore.

Slowly, James pulled back and his boyfriend's limp member fell from his mouth. "You ready, love?" whispered James as he sat up and opened the condom. "You ready for me to fuck you so hard you can't think?" James groaned as he put the condom on himself. The sight of his boyfriend tied to a bed was more exciting than he had thought it would be.

"Fuck me," moaned Severus as he tried to lift his hips more. "Want you so bad." James gripped Severus's hips as he lined himself up and thrust in roughly. Severus screamed and tried to wrap his legs around his boyfriend, but couldn't.

"I got you, Babe," moaned James as he pulled out and started a slow but hard pace. "Fuck. I'm going to fuck you open and make you my whore."

"I'm already your whore!" cried Severus as he desperately tried to touch James more. He had never wished he could see so badly in his life.

"I thought I told you to hold still," grunted James as he leaned forward and wrapped a hand around Severus's neck. Severus let out a series of small, strangled gasps as James tightened his grip when he was pulling out before releasing when he thrust forward.

Severus's sounds only increased in volume as James picked up the pace. When he felt Severus tense and come again, James allowed himself to keep his grip tight for three whole thrusts before James released his throat completely and leaned down and kissed him.

Severus could do little more that moan softly and tremble as James slipped his tongue into his lover's mouth. James thrust one last time before going still above Severus. Moaning happily in his post-orgasm bliss, James kissed his lover lazily. It wasn't very coordinated, but it felt good.

Suddenly Severus gasped and let out his first pained whimper of the day. James instantly pulled back and realized his own knees had been widening as they had kissed, and he was pushing Severus's legs open further than they were intended to go. "Sorry, Love," whispered James as he moved back and gently ran his hands down the outside of Severus's hips so he could push them back in a little.

A little hum was James's only answer as he carefully loosened the restrains on Severus's ankles before gently pushing his thighs back together. "Not all the way," groaned Severus as he let his legs fall open.

"Sorry," apologized James as he moved up Severus's body and untied his hands. "Just breath, Sev. Take in a couple nice deep breaths and relax."

"Fucking shut up," snorted Severus as bent his elbows and brought his hands to rest on his stomach. "I'm already jelly as is."

James smiled but it faltered when he removed the blindfold and found it was wet. He looked down at his boyfriend and saw his eyes were still watery. Sensing why James looked so concerned, Severus smiled. "You try getting fucked in the ass and not have your eyes water. It's natural James, and it felt amazing. Don't be upset.

He nodded, but James still leaned forward, kissed his boyfriends eyelids, and wiped away the rest of the tears. Severus smiled at the tenderness before slowly rolling to his side and drifting off.

Well if exercising for almost 2 hours, a hot shower, and then a hard fucking didn't make someone tired I don't know what would, thought James as he carefully got up and tucked Severus in. He thought about joining his boyfriend, but he wasn't tired.

When he stood up and looked at the couch, James noticed that a tray with their lunches and a stack of letters was sitting on the table. That wasn't there before when I brought Sev out of the bathroom. When did he… oh… Ooooh… Well I did think that would happen eventually. Still fucking embarrassing though.

Sighing in silent defeat, James went over to his lunch and started eating as he looked at the letters that had been sent to him. There was one from Remus and one from Sirius. James wasn't surprised as he opened Remus's first. He had a feeling that Sirius's was filled with babble anyway. Remus most likely had a saner version of what Sirius was going to try and say.

James

It would seem that Sirius has somehow made an ass of himself, but he won't tell me what is actually going on. He just keeps saying he fucked up and now is freaking out. He is also blaming Severus for it, but again I have literally no idea what is going on.

Care to enlighten me?

Remus

James just nodded to himself before picking up Sirius's letter. Part of him felt a little bad about making his friend suffer, but the vast majority of his brain figured he deserved it. I won't make him suffer too much, decided James as he opened the letter.

James

Oh my god, I am so fucking sorry. I am worthless and I shouldn't have done that and I am sorry. I just got so CURIOUS and then I am just naturally flirty and then he started flirting back!

You can't totally blame me for this! Your boyfriend started talking like a cheap call girl! Look, I'm sorry please forgive me.

And to Severus

What the fuck man! Why do you have to try and get me in trouble with my mate you, little asshole!

Sirius

James couldn't help but smile and shake his head at Sirius's letter before picking up a piece of paper and writing back to his friend before he forgot.

Sirius

Alright, first: I am actually not made at you, because I know what Severus did caused you enough embarrassment, (You over dramatic ponce).

Second: Severus did that on purpose to get back at you. He is a spiteful little creature and he still hadn't gotten back at you for the teasing at school. Me and you caused him a lot of problems so we need to make it up to him, (well I already made up for it). Sirius, he is actually being really forgiving. I doubt we would be as kind as he is being in this situation, (he was still punished so don't worry).

The whole three-way thing: I'll think about it, but Severus has the last word on it. If you are really curious and you really want it to happen. You're going to have to work to win him over, (and if you can't I need you to accept that, please). He doesn't like being used he has a bad past with that, bad. I mean… just imagine your parents x3 on the horrible scale.

It's why I am so protective of him, and he really does need someone. So, please be patient with him, he is also learning.

James

James knew it wasn't his job to tell everyone about Severus's past, but at the same time he felt it was a common ground that him and Sirius needed. Hoping he hadn't said too much, James started his letter to Remus.

Remus

Severus decided to pull a nasty prank on Sirius. You know how flirty Sirius is and how once I have something Sirius wants to try it, (even if he doesn't like it. He really is a dog).

Long story short, Severus knew this and egged him on. Sirius didn't know Severus sits in my lap when he reads his mail, so I knew everything they were writing back and forth with each other.

Severus told me that he was plotting something and that I had nothing to worry about, (I was still pissed at the time I will admit). Then when Severus dropped, the bombshell that I knew everything Sirius had thought he had said behind my back. He freaked.

Severus is 100% not sorry at all, and he giggled for a full day. If Sirius wants to be his friend, he is going to have to work at it (like I did… well maybe not exactly like I did because I'd have to throttle him).

As you know, Severus doesn't have a lot of reason to trust Sirius. It will take awhile.

James

Satisfied with his letters back to his friends, James got up and stretched. He thought about doing his own yoga set, but when he saw Severus sleeping so peacefully on the bed, he changed his mind. Grabbing his book, James stacked a bunch of pillows up so he could sit up and read in bed.

Severus made a soft little grumble as James climbed up and got under the covers. Without waking up, Severus rolled over and cuddled up to James, resting his head in James's lap.

James absentmindedly drew circles on Severus's temple as he read. Enjoying the soft snores and little mumbles his lover occasionally made as he slept. I have no idea how I am going to get through the school year without this, thought James as he paused.

Sensing James's unease, Severus wiggled closer and awkwardly hugged him as he continued his sleepy mumbles. "I love you."

"Love you too," smiled James as he brushed Severus's bangs out of his face. "Go back to sleep, love. You're tired."

"You're tired," grumbled Severus defiantly, but he was already asleep again before he had even gotten settled.

AN/

So not sure if you guys care or not, but Severus is learning Serpentine Dance. It actually ISN'T because he is in Slytherin that he is learning this. He is learning this one because I am currently learning this one. I have done Tribal Belly dance a couple years ago, but not Serpentine, (and it is killing me).

Tribal has a lot of soft smooth hip movements, (I'm hippy I am great at them) it has chest movements too, but not too much movement with your arms.

Serpentine has a lot of arm movements and back bends coupled with hip movement. It is hard! It looks like it wouldn't be too bad when you're watching, but you have a lot of different stuff going on. Keep your foot work smooth, roll your hips, move your arms, move your shoulder, and make all of it look smooth and natural, (when it isn't!).
