"Hey!" Kal grinned when he stepped through the floo into Sirius' living room.
"Hi, I've just got to finish this paperwork and then I'm all yours." Sirius said, barely glancing up from the coffee table and the parchement he was scrawling on, Kal nodded and sat down. An hour later and Sirius was still writing, Kal was bored, sluched down on the sofa and scowling at the floor, he let out a huff and Sirius glanced up, "Sorry babe, almost done I promise."
"Right, I just thought we might actually be spending some time together." Kal muttered.
Sirius gritted his teeth, "We will, just let me finish this." He said angrily, scowling when Kal rolled his eyes slightly.
"Can't it wait?"
"No. No it can't. Some of us actually have to work to get what we want." Sirius snapped.
Kal scowled, "Right, sure. And you couldn't do this work some other time? Anyone would think you didn't wnat to spend time with me."
"Oh it's always about you isn't it?" Sirius yelled, throwing his quill down, "Grow up Kal, the world does not revolve around you surprisingly enough!"
Kal pursed his lips, "Yeah, I should grow up, maybe then you'd stop being so ashamed of me!"
"You ever think that maybe I'm ashamed of your behaviour and not your age?" Sirius spat, wincing as Kal stood up and walked out, slamming the door behind himself. Sirius sighed, knowing he should go after Kal but he was too angry to want to right now. Didn't Kal understand that Sirius had to work to gte money for Merlin's sake? Not everyone could sponge off Daddy... Sirius sighed and picked up his quill again, finishing up his paperwork. It took him half an hour and by the time he'd finished he was considerably calmer, perhaps he had baited Kal a bit. After all he'd promised to spend the afternoon with the boy and he had left his paperwork till the last minute. But Kal had been incredibly self centred lately... Sirius sighed again and went to make a mug of tea, wondering if he should call Kal's mobile, he decided not to bother, after all Kal probably wouldn't pick up anyway. An hour later and Sirius felt incredibly guilty but also still rather angry, he was confused and kept checking his phone, hoping Kal would call and beg for them to make up, say sorry. Sirius scowled at the muggle object and chucked it down onto the sofa, grabbing his jacket, he needed a drink. Sirius found himself in Immaculate, the bar he'd first met Kal in, it only made him more depressed and he quickly ordered a drink, he frowned when someone slid into the seat next to him and looked up to see Kal, "Great minds think alike." The teenager offered with a small smile, Sirius simply stared at him, it wasn't going to be that easy, no way. "I... I'm sorry." Kal whispered, "You're right, the world doesn't revolve around me. Draco's been telling me that for weeks and I haven't been listening."
Sirius sighed, "I just don't know if I can do this anymore. You're too self centred and you know, maybe you are too young."
"No! Sirius please... I know I can be full of myself but... I'll stop, I promise. I love you, isn't that enough?"
"I don't know anymore." Sirius whispered.
Tears sprang to Kal's eyes, "Don't say that... I know I cocked up but... Please, we've been through so much, don't throw it away just because I've been an idiot." Sirius ran a hand through his hair, "I'm so sorry." Kal whispered, "I love you so much, please don't leave me."
Sirius broke then, unable to stay angry with Kal, "I'm not going anywhere." He promised, pulling the crying teenager into a hug, "I promise. I love you."

"I'll see you later." Kal smiled at his new friends, they were going down to Hogsmede but Kal was going to Remus' house and spending some time with Remus and James before going to see Sirius for a bit. "Hey." Remus smiled as he opened the door to his office.
"Good afternoon Proffessor Lupin." Kal said politely.
"Please, it's Remus when we're out of class." Remus smiled, leading Kal over to the floo, "You remember the address?" He asked, Kal nodded and accepted the floo powder Remus handed him. He threw the powder into the fire and stepped in, calling out James and Remus' address.
James was sat on the sofa reading a newspaper when Kal stepped through the floo, "Hey kid, how's school going?"
Kal pulled a face and shrugged, sitting next to James, "It's okay I guess... It's a big change from studying when I felt like it, now everything's all planned." He said.
James smiled, "Yeah, I can understand that. But you're up to date yeah?"
"Yes, slightly behind in Defence but Proff- Remus is helping me with that." Kal said as Remus stepped through the floo.
"I made lunch." James said, "It's not much but..."
"Great, I'm starving." Kal grinned, following James through to the kitchen. James served up chips and salad, giving Remus a quick kiss and asking about his day. They ate lunch fairly quietly, making small talk about nothing and everything, "You made friends?" James asked.
"Umm yeah... Ron Weasley's pretty cool." Kal said, he'd been sorted into Gryffindor, much to James' delight, "And the other kids in my dorm are alright too."
"That's good." James said, thankful his son was fitting in and making friends.
Kal smiled as he ate some more chips, "So, you got a date for the wedding yet?"
James and Remus exchanged looks, "We were thinking of sometime in the new year." Remus said quietly, Kal had accepted their enagement but they were still worried that he was a bit off about it.
Kal nodded, "That's nice." He said.
"Well we'll let you know the actual date when we decide it." James grinned.
.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~.
Kal gave a yawn, it had been a long day, James and Remus had got married, and Kal was due back at school soon. He approached where James and Remus were sat, talking to each other. "Congratulations." He smiled.
"Thank you." James grinned. "Merlin... I can't believe we finally did it." He added.
"Well, I hope you have a good honeymoon." Kal said, James and Remus were going to France for a week.
They all looked up as Sirius walked over, wrapping an arm around Kal, "You guys need to get going if you want to get there in time to check in." Sirius said.
James nodded and he and Remus stood up, "Thank you for coming, we'll you soon." James said, hugging Kal and then Sirius, Remus gave the two a small smile, giving Sirius a quick hug, he paused before doing the same with Kal who, to his surprise, hugged back. Sirius and Kal watched as James and Remus left, saying their goodbye's to the other guests, "When do you have to be back at school?" Sirius murmured in Kal's ear.
"About an hour or so." Kal smiled, leaning into Sirius' touch.
"Want to go somewhere more private?" Sirius asked softly, kissing Kal gently, Kal kissed back before drawing away and nodding, leading Sirius throught he house up to the spare room and closing the door, casting a locking charm on it. "I missed you." Sirius whispered.
"I missed you too." Kal said, it had only been a few weeks since they'd last seen each other, the christmas holidays, but it felt like it had been forever.
"When's your next Hogsmede weekend?"
"End of march." Kal said and Sirius groaned, that was ages ago, his thoughts were cut off by Kal's mouth coverign his own, "We don't have much time." Kal whsipered, "So stop thinking so much and make the most of it."
"Yes Sir!" Sirius chuckled, kissing Kal and pushing him over to the bed, Kal moved his hands to clutch at Sirius' hips, kissing the man passionately. "What happened to you cheek?" He asked, pulling back and touching the bruise he'd noticed earlier.
Sirius pulled a face, "Stray plastic mug during James and Remus' argument a few days ago."
"They throw stuff?"
"You have no idea." Sirius laughed, "It's like a bloody war zone when they get going. I opened the door and got hit with a cup."
Kal frowned, "What were they arguing about?"
Sirius bit at his lip, "Jay found out that Remus knew about us... Before everyone else found out. He was pissed that Remus didn't tell him. But they're fine now." Sirius said quickly, on seeing Kal's worried expression, "They made up. James forgave Remus because he udnerstood the difficult position he was in. Trust me, If James was still angry there is no way he would have gone through with the wedding."
Kal nodded, "You should have seen the bollocking my dads gave Regulus when they found out he knew already before they did... Should have seen the bollocking I gave him for not telling me he knew." He said with a chuckle.
"He thought it was over." Sirius said, "Otherwise he would probably have told your parents."
Kal nodded and pressed a small kiss to Sirius' neck, bucking his hips upwards slightly, "Let's forget about them." He murmured and Sirius laughed, kissing Kal hard.
