James was concerned about him. Sirius could tell as much. Before he sprained his ankle, he had though his best friend was still angry with him. They barely talked.

Now, James didn't spend a day without asking what was wrong. Sirius was a lot less talkative than he used to be and James had finally noticed something was amiss with his friend. Sirius was pleased to see he still did matter in James' eyes but he was at a loss about what he could tell him.

The unrequited love thing was beginning to be difficult to bear alone. Of course, Remus helped, a little, as much as he could really. But that was not enough. Added to the fact that he was more and more in love with James each day, his life had soon become a living nightmare.

Having James fussing over him was heaven and hell at the same time. It was nice to feel cared for but it reminded him too painfully of heat he wanted and could never have. James was always trying to see if he ate enough, if he slept well; he wanted to talk about what was tormenting Sirius but he never pushed; he tried to distract him when he was feeling sad, and he knew when to just be there because Sirius needed him.

The perfect boyfriend. Only he wasn't his.

Karliya Malfoy: Yes, anxious is definitely how I feel about your story. Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long to see the outcome of this...

Pointed-Eared-Archer: Well, James can't be a prat in every chapter, can he? But maybe it's easier on Sirius when he is a prat...hehehe

Luci Shadow: 'Angst Goddess' ? -happy squeak- I'm so flattered!! Yes, I do have some evil twist in store for Sirius, don't worry. I was about to post a 'Less Angst' warning for the last chapter but I thought it was a bit presumptuous... maybe I should have, Lol! I hope this is angsty enough for you...
