Wow, I'm SO sorry... don't kill me! I swear I didn't mean to put it off so long... school has been in the way and I haven't been able to get good sleep on the weekends and staying up late to write would be a very stupid thing to do. (I'm drooping out of my seat as it is... --; )
Well, I hope you enjoy it! Please review!!!!

Sirius took a large swig out of his bottle and swallowed it, already feeling a bit loose. He glanced at the time and noticed that James and Lily would be arriving any minute. He focused his attention of Ives again, before explaining more of what happened before he arrived.
"So yeah, Regulus used a razor and tried to shave his beard at a pretty long length… looked pretty painful." He said, his tongue feeling heavy in his mouth.
"I bet you were pissed at him using your stuff… but finding his pain amusing, yeah?" Ives said shaking his head. "You're such a sadistic prick of a bastard, Black."
Sirius laughed.
"Only when it concerns my brothers." He replied, attempting to read the smaller print on the label of his drink. "I don't like watching others in pain."
The doorbell rang startling them all before they realised it was probably Lily and James. The red-head spotted Sirius immediately and scowled.
"Sirius! You're drunk already!?" She said to him exasperated.
"The noggin is fine, Lily." He answered, fingering the bandage that was falling apart.
She stepped across the room, leaving James' side to go to Sirius'.
"Give me that," She took the bottle away from him and then placed it on the table. "I don't want you to drink anymore tonight."
I agree. He thought. Who knows what my actions would be?
"Alright." Sirius agreed, settling back on the sofa. He put his arms on the back of the couch and let his head lie backwards to rest against the back.
Lily stared at him a bit surprised, expecting an argument. James came up and grabbed a cold beer from the cooler they had in the middle of the room.
"You're impossible." She murmured, removing the battered banage that was on Sirius's head.
"Of course he is." James replied for his bestfriend, popping the top off of it. "Ever hear his favourite quote?"
James sat on the far side of the couch from Sirius, letting Lily sit next to him, pressing against his side. He put his arm around her and drank some of the beer that was fizzing up.
"No... what is it?" She asked hesitantly.
"Why be difficult! Put some effort into it and be impossible!" Sirius said grinning like a fool.
Lily rolled her eyes.
"Should have known."
"Indeed, you should have! This is Sirius we're talking about." James said, with a light kiss on her nose.
Remus had been unusually quiet during the entire time they were there. They talked about various things that included no real thought to it but still Remus didn't include himself in any of it. He considered them Ives' friends, not his own… he figured he shouldn't intrude.
"Oy Remus, why aren't ya talking?" Sirius asked, still feeling tipsy but nowhere near as bad as Lily, James and Ives were...or were going to get.
Remus smiled politely.
"I don't really want to spoil your fun, I'm pretty boring…" He told him sheepishly.
Sirius sat up and slid off the couch to the floor, finding it bit more comfortable. He didn't will himself to get up, it wasn't important at the moment.
"Nonsense, I bet you're loads of fun!" He chirped. I don't believe it… he would have stayed sober while the rest of us got drunk? Sirius thought to himself, feeling guilty over the fact Remus would have been left out.
Remus smiled a bit, but didn't argue with him.
Well he is quiet, I'll give him that much, Sirius grinned.
"Come sit on the ground with me, s'very comfortable." He to Remus, patting the patch of carpet beside him. "So you're an oceanographer?"
Remus nodded afirmatively as he kneeled down onto the floor and sat cross-legged.
"Do you enjoy what ya do?" Sirius wanted to get at least more than a nod out of this guy.
Remus considered his answer before speaking it.
"Yes, I enjoy it… it's very relaxing. I study the basics of the oceans and seas and then when I'm finished I relax and just enjoy the view. I do swim occasionally, though not alone."
Oooh, a lengthy answer! He mentally cheered. I'm making progress! The black haired man mentall cheered.
Sirius nodded, regretting it as a wave of dizyness hit him. He clung to the couch as if it were a life support until the room stopped spinning.
Remus watched him with concern and pulled him to an upright position.
"I wouldn't bend over if I were you...." Remus said.
Sirius raised an eyebrow.
"Hey, if you're gonna jump me...." he hiccoughed. "Let me be more sober."
Remus's face went from concerned to embarassed and scarlet.
"T-that's not what I meant!" He stuttered out, looking at the ground.
Sirius laughed gleefully.
"I'm only kiddin', relax." He looked over Remus's scarlet features amused. Aww cute .
The night proceded lively and the obnoxious party passed out and the two sober ones fell asleep. (I haven't the slightest clue what they were doing. ;)
The morning came soon enough, and Ives was the third to wake. He was dizy and didn't risk moving in fear of loosing the stuff in his stomach. James's hangover had settled down mostly after the three painkillers he took earlier. He hoped they were painkillers, anyway....
Lily was in the bathroom tidying up. Jamed sniggered in rememberance of what she looked like. Her hair was sticking up everwhere, she had bags under her eyes and her make-up was smudged everywhere.
Ives finally opened his eyes and groaned.
"Fuckin' A..." He muttered.
Sirius and Remus were asleep on the floor, propped up on the couch and curled slightly towards eachother. This made Ives grin impishly, forgetting about the pain in his head.
"SIRIUS! You DARE hit on my cousin?!" He all but shouted at him. This made everyone wince. Including himself.
Sirius jumped and looked at him.
"..whats your problem...?" He muttered.
"What naughty thing have you done with my cousin? You haven't even known him for a day!" He teased.
"What?!" Sirius blinked and sat up, looking over at Remus's sleeping form he blushed. "Nothing happened Ives! The hell! What do you take me for?" He pouted.
"A gay whore?" James suggested.
"SHUT UP!"
Remus stirred, making them all look at the light haired person.
