Sirius sighed again as he tried to stand up, only to fall back onto the bed in pain.
He was acutely reminded of the day before. Late for McGonagall's lesson – again. A stupid fall in the stairs. A sprained ankle and no time to drop by the Hospital Wing.
At the end of the day he had been embarrassed and too proud to ask for help. Not a good combination.
The day before he had only guessed how nice it would be to have James as his boyfriend, but now he knew just how much caring and compassionate the other boy would be.
The distance that had separated them since James' failed date with Lily had been quickly mended when James had guessed how hurt Sirius really was. He had stayed with him all day, easing his pains, letting him lean on his shoulder, carrying his books, helping him go to class and back to the tower. He even had stayed with him when Peter and Remus had gone to see the Quidditch match of the day (Slytherin vs Ravenclaw) so he would not be bored.
Sirius sighed again at the though of what he could never have, but he was still happy to have his best friend back.

A/N: thanks to Kurogane and Spatula for their kind support.
Pointy-Eared-Archer: Oh! Thanks! I'm so glad you find this realistic, that was just what I was trying to achieve, because there are too many fics out there where the characters are a bit too perfect, if you see what I mean, and a bit too in love at first sight.
Rin: You're trying emotional blackmail with me?? incredulous stare hum… let me see… that's not working! Hehehe evil grin You'll find out soon enough how this ends.
Karliya Malfoy: Thanks! I'm trying to put some of my experiences into Sirius' character, so that everybody can relate more to his feelings, even if of course I'm a girl and a muggle… =D
Luci Shadow: Oh! I saw you waving! waves back I could send you the cookies by owl, but the chocolate chips might get intercepted and stolen by an anonymous choloholic… Still love you! On the ending, I won't spoil it now, let's just say that everything can happen till the last chapter…
