Sirius was angry with James. He had refused to play a prank on the Ravenclaws at breakfast and insisted they went to the library to find books on a rare and difficult charm he was trying to achieve. Of course, Sirius had complied, like always.
It seemed that he was always the one to make concessions. Most of the time these days, they ended up doing what James had planned and not what he wanted. At first he hadn't noticed. Then, he had brushed it away; it didn't matter as long as he could spend time with his best friend.
Every second he spent with James hurt because of how he felt. But he cherished every one of them. It had been so hard to breathe without him for a whole week. He didn't want to repeat the experience.
The problem was, he was ready to do things he didn't like so he could be with James but James always refused to do things he hadn't planned to spend time to Sirius. When Sirius proposed something James didn't like, his friend never tried to make the effort and most of the time Sirius just went by himself.
Sirius went along with it because he had no choice. He refused to tell James about it. He was afraid he would look selfish and stupid.
Things were definitely much simpler before he fell in love with his best friend.

A/N: Thanks a lot to Harry's Lost Twin, Jacki, Aquagreen, who took time to review. You guys are just great!
For those who wondered about the chapter length, read the summary: these are drabbles!! The chapter length is something I did on purpose.
AkumA9: blushes I really changed your view on SxJ? Wow! Thanks!
Prongs: Thanks so much!!! I will post this on the list when it's finished.
Luci Shadow: I love you =D I totally agree with you on the exam problem (a recurrent problem if I may add). Thanks for the support. I'm not joking about the cookies, who knows, maybe you're living next door to me ;-)
Karliya Malfoy: I'm glad you see things my way now… the suspense won't last though.
Rin: I'm in denial too… that's why I only write Marauders' Era fics! Are you trying to convince me to write a happy end? I won't tell you if it's working, though. The last chapter is already written ;-)
Pointy-Eared-Archer : Thanks ! Of course Sirius is the best character in HP! Who could doubt that ? (And no, I'm absolutely not obsessed with him…)
