The Potter/Black Romance

Disclaimer: JK owns most of it, not me. I still would like to own Jamie and Siri…………Oh, I actually got the idea for this chapter sort of off the movie Titanic because I saw that the other night when it was on TV. You know, the whole Jack drawing Rose naked thing?

Thanks to everyone that reviewed, it was much appreciated!

Can anyone else here picture James being able to draw well? Or is it just me?

OoO

Chapter 8: The One With James' Secret Art Talent

When they had arrive back home to the Potters James and Sirius soon found themselves alone because James' parents had gone off to a conference again. But this time, our two lovers didn't need a baby-sitter because they were eighteen and fully qualified strong wizards, with at least one good brain between them.

One morning while Sirius was making some coffee –something he liked to have in the morning to keep him awake – James came downstairs and slipped his arms around his waist and rested his chin on Sirius' shoulder.

"You're up early." Commented James before kissing Sirius' bare shoulder after he had looked at the clock in the kitchen, which read 9am. Very early considering it was Sirius Black up before midday.

Sirius poured his coffee into a mug, "I know, I had a headache so I got up."

James lifted his head from Sirius' shoulder and kissed his temple, "Does your head feel better now?"

"Mmhmm." Replied Sirius, "Took some of your mum's heavy duty painkillers."

Around mid-afternoon, Sirius came back from Diagon Alley where he had gone to buy a few things and found James sitting at the kitchen table absentmindedly doodling on a piece of paper with a pencil.

Sirius dropped his stuff on the table and bent down to kiss James on the lips, when he pulled away he looked at the doodle James had been doodling. "You're a good drawer."

James frowned slightly, "No I'm not."

"You are." Said Sirius, "I'd give anything to be able to draw like that. The most I can do is stick people and even they look deformed."

James snorted with laughter, "You're right, your stick people do look deformed." Sirius smiled. "But I can't draw and don't try and tell me otherwise."

Sirius sighed, "You can draw! I mean that's a good picture." He indicated to James' picture of the fruit bowl that was very well detailed in James' sketch. "You should draw more."

James shook his head, "Even if I can draw – which I can't – there isn't anything interesting to draw around here, it's all mundane kitchen objects and plants…"

Sirius thought for a moment, "What about life drawings? You know? People?"

James raised an eyebrow at his lover, "Who would want me to draw them? Anyway, I'm not that good with drawing clothes, the person would have to be naked if I did it."

A grin slowly spread across Sirius' face, "Draw me." He suggested. James raised his other eyebrow. "Well you said you can't draw clothes and nobody would want you to draw them naked, so draw me. I wouldn't mind, I'd happily pose for you."

James frowned, "No Siri…………" He then seemed to think about Sirius' proposal. "You'd really let me draw you? Naked? So other people can see my 'wonderful' talent?"

Sirius went over to his fiancé, he sat down straddling James' lap and put his hands on his shoulders. "I think you're talented, and I will let you draw me naked if you stop trying to deny that you can draw, especially when the evidence is right here on the table."

James placed his hands on Sirius' hips and thought for a moment, "OK, if you're willing to let me draw you then I'll stop denying that I've always wanted to be an artist."

Sirius smiled and tilted his head to the side in a way reminiscent of Padfoot, "You've always wanted to be an artist?" James nodded bashfully. "Bloody hell, you kept that quiet didn't you?"

"I know. I thought people would laugh at me." Replied James truthfully.

"Who would laugh at you? I think you're good, even though I've only seen one picture." Said Sirius sweetly.

James stayed silent a moment, "I thought you would laugh at me actually."

Sirius rolled his eyes, "You've known me long enough to know I'm not going to laugh at your dreams."

James trailed his fingers up Sirius' sides making his lover squirm slightly because he was ticklish and finally he ran his fingers through Sirius' hair and pulled his face towards his for a passionate kiss. "And that's why I love you."

Sirius smiled, "Yeah well…………so when do you want to start?"

"Drawing?" Sirius nodded his head. James sighed and leaned back in his chair with Sirius still right up against him.

"Tonight? After dinner?"

Sirius nodded in agreement, "Fine with me."

That night, the two decided to go out for dinner because James couldn't be bothered cooking and Sirius couldn't cook at all.

They headed down the street and to a take away and got some fish and chips and a big bottle of coke to share and then they walked to the park around the corner to have their dinner under a tree as the sun set.

"Where are we going to do the picture?" Asked Sirius after James snatched the coke off him because he had drunk a fair amount of it.

James leaned back against the tree and thought, "Well………Not anywhere where somebody could easily walk in on us, so, our room? Transfigure something cause I don't think I'm good with beds either."

Sirius smiled, "I think you'll be just fine." He smirked slightly. "I'm willing to bet you could draw me in the dark if you had a mind too."

James grinned at him; "You have a lot of faith in me, really, far more than my parents do."

"Well I'm marrying you aren't I?" Replied Sirius settling down on his side and propping his head on his hand, "I have to have some faith."

James smiled.

Around 8pm James was busy rearranging his bedroom to allow room for the couch he was going to transfigure for Sirius to lie on while he drew his beautiful lover.

Sirius soon came out of the bathroom in James' bathrobe, he'd never bothered getting one for himself because he preferred walking around their room naked after a shower.

"So, where do you want me?" Asked Sirius happily.

James glanced at him before muttering the charm to transfigure a chair into a couch. "Just wait there while I sort this out."

Sirius nodded, he folded his arms and curiously as James shifted the couch around and set it up, "So I take it I have to stay still while you draw me, yeah?"

"Yeah." Agreed James standing up straight and admiring his handy work, he looked to Sirius, "It's all yours, lie down, get comfy, you'll be there awhile."

Sirius did as he was told, as he undid the bathrobe he became conscious of James watching him keenly as he himself got comfortable with a sketching pad balanced on his leg, which he had cross over the top of his other. Sirius dropped the bathrobe to the floor and sat down on the couch and looked to James, "How do you want me?"

James considered Sirius and the couch for a moment before speaking, "Lie down, sort of, half on your side." Sirius did so and looked back at James. "Um………put the cushion under your head and put your right hand up to your face." Sirius nodded and did as he was told. "And rest your other arm over your side."

When Sirius had finished sorting himself out, the scene in front of James was breathtaking. Sirius was absolutely stunning, he was the kind of person you would only dream about. To James, Sirius was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"God this is going to be hard." Said James absentmindedly.

Sirius furrowed his eyebrows slightly, "Why?"

As James sorted out how he would start the sketch, he spoke, "Well, I can just tell you, my self control is going to be tested while I do this." Sirius smiled mischievously. "I have to resist shagging you through that couch."

Sirius winked at him, "You can do that afterwards."

James smiled as he started to sketch, looking over the top of his glasses every few seconds to get better bearings in what he was drawing.

As he drew, James considered what Sirius had said earlier that day

"I'm willing to bet you could draw me in the dark if you had a mind to."

James was willing to bet he could as well. After the time they had spent together in bed, exploring each other's bodies, it was really quite easy to know every dip and curve without actually looking.

"Ooh, concentration Messr. Prongs." Said Sirius giving him a sly look, his eyes shining with love from underneath those long dark lashes.

"Shut up. You're putting me off." Said James in amusement. "Anyway, its hard not too concentrate on such a perfect specimen of the human race."

Sirius could feel his cheeks heat up a bit.

James grinned at him, "My, my Mr. Padfoot, are you blushing?"

Sirius lowered his gaze away from James' face bashfully, "Maybe a little. Anyway, I still think you're just saying that because you're marrying me."

James shook his head, "Believe me, I'm not just saying that. I mean it. You are beautiful." James did a bit more shading with his pencil and a few more lines before lifting his head up properly. "I'm finished. You know, I'm surprised you've stayed still for this long."

Sirius started to sit up stiffly, "I know, me too." He stretched. "Can I have a look? Have you done me justice?"

James held the picture out at an arm's length in front of him and looked from that to Sirius a few times before nodding, "I think I've done you justice. I mean, sure, you're much better looking in real life, but it's not that bad."

Sirius got up, he picked the bathrobe up off the ground slipped it back on, holding it around his waist before going over to stand behind James.

Sirius smiled, "I love it. What'd I tell ya? You can draw." He could see every detail of his own body in James' drawing. His fiancé was truly talented in the artistic department, as well as academia and sport.

James smiled up at his lover, he put the drawing down carefully before standing up and stretching. He slipped his arms around Sirius' waist under the bathrobe he was wearing so he could touch the body he had just been drawing so carefully. "You think I could actually get somewhere with it?"

Sirius trailed his fingers up and down James' strong arms, "I do, yeah. But maybe you should ask somebody elses opinion as well?"

James rested his forehead against Sirius', "Maybe another day. Right now I would like to do what I've been restraining myself from doing for the passed hour or so."

Sirius grinned, "Do with me as you will."

"Don't need to tell me twice." Said James leaning in, he caught Sirius' mouth in a searing kiss and pushed the bathrobe off Sirius' shoulders so it pooled around his feet, leaving him bare to the world once more.

Sirius soon managed to free James of all his clothes and then he got pushed back down on to the bed by his lover. James started kissing him again, before moving his mouth to Sirius' neck, shoulders and chest.

Sirius moaned and arched into James' touch as his fianc's mouth trailed lower until he cried as he was taken into James' mouth without now prior warning.

Sirius clutched the sheets to keep from tearing James' own hair out. Sirius could do nothing but moan incoherently as he was sucked so expertly by James.

Sirius finally screamed out James' name when he came, leaving James to swallow everything.

James finally moved back up Sirius' body and caught his mouth in a hot kiss.

James pulled away from Sirius grinning; "You seem flushed." He said joking.

"Oh shut up."

James smirked down at his lover, "But I'm not finished with you yet."

.......................OoO............................
