CRIMINALS
Snogging Sessions

It was morning, and Sirius felt achy. His neck was killing him and his left arm was dead. He groaned and opened his eyes, and then it all came back to him. He was still in the Room of Requirement. He had slept on the sofa last night, and Regulus was lying sleeping next to him. He had an arm underneath Regulus and an arm draped over him, holding him close.

He grinned and let out a content sigh. He couldn't believe this was really happening to him. He glanced down at Regulus who was sleeping, and smiled warmly. He looked so calm and peaceful and Sirius just wanted to kiss him.

And now he could.

He leaned down and planted a kiss on Regulus's temple, making the other boy let out a small sound and cuddle in closer to him. Sirius tightened his grip on Regulus and began tracing circles on his back.

He vaguely wondered what time it was. He also dreaded to think what his friends were thinking. They were probably worried about him. He still had the Marauder's Map in his bag.

"Hey Sirius," Regulus mumbled.

Sirius turned his attention to Regulus and smiled once more. He looked so perfect, staring up at Sirius with tired eyes. Sirius felt as though his heart could just leap out of his chest.

"Hey, you," Sirius said.

"Did that really happen yesterday?" Regulus asked.

Sirius nodded. "Yup. We one-hundred percent had a steamy snogging session that lasted all afternoon and night."

Regulus blushed. "Good."

"I wouldn't mind, you know, carrying on where we left off," Sirius said off-handedly, trying to seem uninterested.

Regulus grimaced and shifted in Sirius's arms. "No thanks."

"Aw, why?" Sirius pouted.

Regulus sat up. "Uh, morning breath. Hello?"

"I don't give a crap about morning breath," Sirius said.

"Well, I do," Regulus said quickly. "Shall we meet up here after dinner?"

"Aw, fine," Sirius said. "I'll be thinking about it all day though."

Regulus smiled. "Me too."

"Come on then, mister," Sirius said. "We should probably get going before everybody gets worried about us."

"Alright."

When they reached the Great Hall, they parted ways. Sirius headed over to the Gryffindor table. His friends stared at him as he sat down and started eating as though nothing was wrong.

"Where have you been?" James asked suspiciously.

Sirius shrugged and gulped down his orange juice.

"Don't just shrug at me," James said. "You look like you just got laid."

Remus spat his drink out of his mouth, covering Sirius in juice.

"You idiot," Sirius said, wiping the juice off of himself.

"I'm sorry," Remus said. "But is that accurate?"

"I didn't get laid," Sirius said, rolling his eyes.

"Then where have you been all night?" Peter asked. Sirius wished they would stop asking questions. He glanced over at Regulus and smiled. Regulus looked just as uncomfortable – probably dodging questions from his own friends.

"That's a secret," Sirius said.

"Can't keep secrets from me, mate," James said.

"Oh, believe me I can," Sirius replied. "It's you who can't keep them from me. I remember that time you said you were going to Diagon Alley when really you were-"

"-Okay, okay!" James said quickly, flushing.

Sirius noticed Remus and Peter exchanging confused glances.

"But siriusly," James said. "Is there a guy?"

Sirius looked at Remus, who gave him a look that said 'it's up to you'.

Sirius nodded. "Yeah, there's a guy."

"Who?" James demanded.

"Why do you want to know?" Sirius asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Well, is he good enough for you?" James asked. "Is he hot? Do you love him?"

Sirius rolled his eyes. "You sound like an excited mother."

"Well you live with me now so I do see you as a son," James said.

Sirius snorted. "Merlin help me."

"Don't be rude or you're grounded," James said, smiling a little. "Oh, come on Padfoot. Tell me."

"I can't, sorry," Sirius said. "I'm not ready to tell."

"Hmm," James said. "Well do we need to go through the importance of safe sex?"

"Ew," Remus said, looking horrified. "I don't need to hear this."

"You're just jealous," Sirius said. "But James – I was the one who taught you about safe sex."

"Do I even want to know how you taught him about safe sex?" Peter asked.

"Well it involved fruit," James said. "He even ate the banana after he showed me to correctly insert my-"

"Okay, I think I've heard enough!" Peter said quickly.

James shook his head at Sirius and laughed. "I should have realised you were gay after you ate the banana."

"It was a nice banana," Sirius said. "Best banana I ever tasted."

"This conversation is getting really wrong," Remus said, standing up. "And we're late to class. Come on."

Potions was boring. Sirius found his mind wandering to yesterday, and a stupid grin appeared on his face. He was sitting next to Remus, whose eyes narrowed at Sirius's grin.

"What're you grinning about?" Remus whispered.

"Nothing," Sirius whispered back.

"Working with you partner, please brew one of the three potions we just talked about," Professor Slughorn said to the class.

Remus and Sirius were partners. Sirius picked a potion and started brewing it while Remus sat back and watched him suspiciously. When it came to Potions, Sirius did all the work. If Remus tried, he would end up in in the hospital wing.

"Did you... and him…"

"You have to be more specific," Sirius said.

"You and Regulus," Remus whispered.

"Yes? What about us?"

"Did you… were you with him last night?"

"Yes, I was with him," Sirius replied.

"Sirius!" Remus almost yelled. "What happened?"

Sirius couldn't help but grin. "Well, we kissed."

"You kissed?" Remus exclaimed, nudging him.

"A lot," Sirius said.

"You must be so happy," Remus said with a smile. "I'm happy for you."

"Thanks," Sirius replied. "You are amazing, you know? For not judging me."

"I could never, Sirius," Remus said. "You're my best friend. I want you to be happy and if he makes you happy then so be it. So, you slept with him then?"

Sirius could feel himself going red. He shook his head quickly. "I didn't sleep with him."

"No, I mean you slept with him. Like, next to him."

"Yeah," Sirius said. "It was amazing."

"So are you two officially together?" Remus asked.

"No," Sirius said quietly. "It's more like we're testing the waters."

"And how are those waters?"

"Very very good," Sirius said with a satisfied nod. "He's a bloody expert at kissing."

"Nice," Remus said. "Lily's coming."

Sirius looked up to see Lily approaching their desk. She sat down opposite Remus and sighed.

"Remus, I came to apologise," she said quietly. "I was wrong, and out of order."

"It's alright," Remus said. "I can understand it from your perspective."

"I was just hurting," Lily said. "I loved you and it hurt that I couldn't be with you, but I understand that Potter is one of your best friends and I understand that friends come before girls always."

Sirius felt a little awkward, so continued brewing the potion as he pretended not to listen.

"I was silly thinking we could be together," Lily continued. "I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, Lily. Honestly," Remus said. "We'll just be the best of friends."

"Definitely," Lily agreed. "I like that idea."

"It's good to have you back," Remus said. "I need my library buddy."

"Me too," Lily said. "I've been studying with Marlene and she spends the whole time waffling on about Black."

Sirius glared at her. "My name is Sirius."

"Black."

"Evans," Sirius muttered.

"Well," Lily said, turning back to Remus. "I'll see you later. Bye, Remus."

"Bye," Remus said, smiling after her as she walked away.

"What do you see in her?" Sirius asked. "She's rude as hell."

"She's only rude to you because you're rude to her," Remus said. "And besides, I'm kind of getting over her."

"You are?"

"I'm trying," Remus sighed. "It messes with my head, and I can't deal with it. I just want things to be simple."

"Have you and James spoken?" Sirius asked.

"Only one word here and there," Remus said, looking upset.

"I hate seeing you two not talking," Sirius said. "Evans is a bitch."

"Hey, that's not fair," Remus said. "It's not her fault. Besides, I'm sure you're the reason Marlene and Dorcas don't talk anymore. We both know they have massive crushes on you."

"They need to take a hint that I'm not into their kind," Sirius said.

"That's not the point," Remus said. "You're their Lily."

"Ew," Sirius said, grimacing. "For one, I don't have boobs – thank god-"

"-Yeah that would be pretty weird," Remus said.

"But they'd be kinda fun, actually," Sirius said. "Imagine you could just bounce them around?"

"I worry about you," Remus replied, with a small smile.

Sirius flashed a grin at him and continued with the potion. "Come on, let's get back to work."

Dinner was a boring affair. Sirius was too excited to go back to the Room of Requirement. He shoved his food down his throat quicker than ever.

"So," James said casually, looking at Sirius. "What did Evans want?"

"She was speaking to Remus, not me," Sirius said.

He watched James nod, and there was an awkward silence. Remus looked as though he'd rather be anywhere else but at the table with James.

"I gotta go," Sirius said, getting up quickly.

"Why?" James asked.

"He's off to get laid, duh," Peter said, speaking for the first time.

"Go for it," James said.

Sirius laughed, shook his head and walked out of the Great Hall. Regulus was leaning against the wall waiting for him.

The way he stood with his arms folded and his hair falling into his eyes, with that smile he did, Sirius just wanted to attack him there and then. Regulus walked over to Sirius.

"Let's go," he said.

When they reached the stretch of wall where the Room of Requirement was, Sirius decided to think of something a little different. He wanted a bed. A double bed. He tried not to blush as he thought of all the things they could get up to in a double bed.

When they opened the door and stepped into the room, Regulus seemed to read Sirius's mind.

"You're not trying to get lucky are you?" he asked.

"Mmm, I'd love to," Sirius said with a smirk, taking Regulus's hand and leading him over to the bed. Boldly, Sirius started to unbutton his shirt. He watched Regulus's eyes trail down to stare at his bare chest.

Sirius shrugged the rest of his shirt off and tossed it on the floor. He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

"Kiss me," he ordered.

"That's rude."

"Kiss me now!"

He opened his eyes and felt himself getting turned on as he watched Regulus slowly unbutton his own shirt and throw it away. Next minute, Regulus was straddling him. He leaned down so that his mouth was next to Sirius's ear.

"Make me kiss you," Regulus whispered.

Sirius reached up and pulled Regulus's face closer to his own. Their lips connected like magnets. It was better than he could remember from yesterday. It was so sweet and electrifying.

Sirius didn't want to stop but he could feel his erection in his trousers and knew he should stop. He dug his nails into Regulus's back and with all his strength, rolled over so that Sirius was now on top. He pulled back, and sat up.

Regulus was staring up at him, looking flustered. Sirius could feel how hard Regulus was against him, and he just wanted to thrust into him, but he stopped himself.

"Sirius," Regulus said. "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course you can," Sirius replied, moving a strand of hair out of Regulus's eyes.

"Do you feel guilty?" Regulus asked.

"Not at all," Sirius said. "Do you?"

"A little bit, I guess," Regulus replied. "You're my brother."

"Is it weird that turned me on?" Sirius said quickly.

"What, me reminding you that you're my brother?" Regulus asked, smiling a bit. "Yeah, that's weird."

"I'm a pervert," Sirius nodded.

"Yes," Regulus said. "I feel guilty because I love kissing you."

"Who wouldn't love kissing me?" Sirius pointed out.

"You're so big-headed."

"That's not the only thing that's big," Sirius said, unable to help himself. He watched Regulus's cheeks redden.

"Yeah, I know. I can feel it," Regulus whispered.

"Shall we have another snogging session?" Sirius suggested.

"As if I'd say no," Regulus laughed.

"Oh, I love you," Sirius murmured, leaning down and kissing him once more.
