A/N: It's Blackinnon Week again! Blackinnon stories will be posted all week this week from across the fandom! I'll be posting NINE stories this week and we start with this little one, based on a prompt I've wanted to write for Blackinnon since I saw it. =D Enjoy! (Prompt: "Rumor has it I make you nervous.")

"Rumor has it I make you nervous." Sirius slid up next to Marlene on the grounds as she watched Lily teach Emmeline how to play a Muggle game played with a plastic disk.

"Who are you getting your rumors from, Black? The first-years?" Marlene leant back on the heels of her hands, stretching out her legs and smirking up at him.

Sirius laid out on the lawn next to her, propping himself up with his elbow as he balanced on his side.

"They are the best source of gossip, you know. Little firsties will talk for hours once you get them going."

"And which little firsties are you chatting up?"

Sirius shrugged, "Whichever ones are unfortunate enough to end up witnessing the setup of a prank. Can't have them running to tattle now can I?"

"So you distract them by getting them talking?" Marlene laughed and shifted to mirror Sirius' position.

"And I usually have a bit of sugar on me as well. It doesn't take much to get an eleven or twelve-year-old thinking in a different direction than a seventh year breaking the rules." Sirius shifted closer to her.

Marlene smirked at him, feeling anticipation build in her chest. "You're terrible, you know that?"

"And you like it," he trailed a finger along the hem of her shirt. "At least I think that's what the poor boy meant when he was telling me I made you nervous. Not sure he's learnt how to read a woman."

Marlene laughed and shifted closer. "He's got time yet."

"He's the least of my concerns now," Sirius slipped his hand under her shirt and around her hip, pulling her closer. "I'm rather focused on someone else."

Marlene pulled into him, sliding against him and bringing her lips dangerously close to his. "Maybe you should convince me of who you're focused on."

Sirius pushed forward to capture her lips when the plastic disk Lily and Emmeline had been playing with smacked against Marlene and Sirius.

"Oi!" Marlene turned and glared at her friends.

"Sorry!" Lily laughed, but she looked anything but apologetic. Emmeline hid her mouth behind her hands as she cackled.

Sirius was undeterred as he translocated the disk some fifty yards off and then pinned Marlene down on the lawn, searing her with his kiss and leaving no doubts of just who all his focus was on.
