Chapter 11: The One With The Talk

"I know you like drawing, and I know you enjoy drawing me," started Sirius from his position on the transfigured couch, "But I am so uncomfortable, I've been in this position for an hour now, can't you just turn to photography instead? It's much quicker."

James smirked, "Look, you agreed to posing for me, so you have to suffer."

Sirius huffed a deep sigh, "Are you done yet?"

James shook his head, "No, I am nearly done though. So don't get petulant."

"Ja-mes!" Grumbled Sirius impatiently, "My butt hurts and I'm getting cold."

"Hang on, just one more minute." Said James pleadingly.

Sirius pouted, he was hungry, he was getting cold and he was naked. "I'll be counting the seconds." James just smirked again and lowered his eyes back to the sketch. Sirius decided to try and put James off his drawing. "I'm get really horny, Jamie…" Sirius could see James forcing himself not too look up. "In fact…I may have to touch myself-"

"OK!" Exclaimed James looking up, "Just give me a sec and I'll do it for you!"

Sirius snorted and shook his head. "You know how cute you look when you're flustered?"

"Oh shut up." Grumbled James realising he was being teased by his lover. "I'm done."

Sirius grinned and got up, still completely starkers, "Gimme a look then."

James smirked at him; "You don't care that somebody could just burst in on us and see you naked do you?"

"Well someone other than you deserves to be blessed by the sight of this." Said Sirius indicating to his toned naked self.

James raised an eyebrow and handed the picture to Sirius silently before standing up, he went over to the dresser and opened a drawer in search of a clean T-shirt or sweater.

James and Sirius were being dragged out to dinner this evening with relatives of the Potters, which was another reason why James was worried someone might walk in on them while Sirius was still standing there admiring the picture in all his naked glory.

James pulled his T-shirt off and put another deep green one on, he looked back at Sirius and looked him up and down. "Is that what you're wearing to dinner?"

Sirius looked down at himself then back up at James, "S'pose I should put some clothes on, eh?"

James walked over to him and pulled Sirius flat against his fully clothed body and placed his hands at the base of Sirius' back, "Well, you could go like this, but, I think people might stare a bit."

Sirius raised an amused eyebrow, "Mm, they might. But you could always tattoo James' Property to my arse if you want."

James scrunched up his nose, "Nah, don't want to ruin it." He tilted his head slightly caught Sirius' lips with his own.

Sirius slipped his arms around James' neck and deepened the kiss even more.

The two lovers had nearly drifted off into a land of nothingness when the doorknob to James' room turned quite loudly. James acted quickly when he heard the sound; he broke off the kiss and spun them around so he was blocking Sirius' naked body from whoever the trespasser was.

There standing in the doorway wide eyed was James' fifteen year old cousin Melissa.

"Get out!" Shouted James successfully blocking Sirius from Melissa's sight.

"I-I-I-mum sent me up. Sorry." Said Melissa worriedly as she backed away from her cousin. "I didn't see anything. I swear!"

James raised his eyebrows skeptically, "Is that all? Can you go now?"

Melissa nodded vigorously and headed quickly out the room closing the door behind her. James cast a Locking Charm on the door, something he should've done a couple of hours ago and turned back to Sirius who was trying not too look amused.

"Now, where were we?" He asked.

Sirius raised an eyebrow and moved back up close to James, "I think we were here." He said as he put an arm around James' neck again and kissed him.

……

About an hour later, James and Sirius were seated next to each other at a table in a posh restaurant with other various Potters, including Melissa.

Melissa was trying her best to avoid looking at James and Sirius, but every time she did a tinge of red appeared on her cheeks. Sirius didn't help her embarrassment at all though, every time she glanced at him he grinned and winked at her.

James elbowed Sirius in the ribs, "Stop embarrassing her." He whispered. "They don't know about us yet and my aunt is a very suspicious person."

Sirius grinned even wider; "They'll know eventually, might as well tell them."

James was about to answer when some people who had just turned up caught his eyes, "Looks like the Lupins are dragging their kids out too." He said quietly to Sirius as he nodded towards the door.

Sirius glanced away from his plate and saw Remus, Karliya and their older brother Sam moping along behind their parents and their younger brothers Romulus and Cassius into the restaurant.

Sirius opened his mouth to shout hello bit James slapped his hand over his mouth just in time. Sirius groaned in pain.

"Don't. Yell." Hissed James glancing at his aunt who was watching them suspiciously. "It's a posh restaurant, you have to behave."

Sirius nodded and James took his hand away from Sirius' mouth, "Sorry." He looked over at the table the Lupins were now seated at; it was then that Remus had decided to look around the restaurant.

Sirius caught Remus' eyes and waved and he saw what he thought was a glint of hope in the werewolf's golden eyes. As Sirius was about to mouth something to Remus he saw his friend turn away and glare at his younger brother Romulus who had obviously just said something stupid or insulting.

James glanced at Sirius and spoke in an undertone so as not to be overheard; "Do you think we should tell them all?"

"About us?" Questioned Sirius as he hacked up his meat. James nodded. Sirius shrugged, "It's up to you. Your family."

"You're part of the family."

Sirius' fork stopped midway between his mouth and his plate as he heard James' words, he looked at James and saw his fiancé wink at him and turn to his mother who was saying something.

James Potter, how do you do this to me? Thought Sirius fondly. Why say things like that when you know full well that I can't thank you for them in public?

James cleared his throat loudly after he had spoken to his mum and told her what he was about to do. "Can I have your attention guys?" The Potters all looked at James and Sirius looked anywhere but at this table. "OK, Sirius and I have to say something important you all need to know… We are together, as in we're gay, and we're getting married whether you like it or not."

If the rest of the restaurant was quiet you would be able to hear a pin drop.

……

After dinner was over, James and Sirius went off outside with Remus for a while, while their parents chatted and their other relatives did their thing.

After that, the two young men apparated back to the Potters and headed upstairs before they could be stopped by any unapproving relatives or general annoyances.

By now both James and Sirius had had a bit too drink and were feeling quite giddy. When they got to their room, Sirius cast a locking charm on the door before pushing James down on the bed and climbing on top of him.

James plunged his hands into Sirius' thick mass of black hair and pulled their mouths together in long deep kisses.

Sirius managed to get James' top off, and started placing kisses across his collarbone and chest. James moaned as Sirius' mouth reached his already hardened nipples.

Sirius started to undo James' pants and then his own as they kissed heatedly on the bed. Pretty soon the two lovers were naked and Sirius was again, on top.

Sirius had never actually taken charge during his and James' sexual relationship, so he was quite happy right now, until James started to try and push him off.

"What are you doing?!" Whined Sirius when he felt the hands pushing at his chest.

"I can't-don't make me do this, please?" There was fear in James' eyes.

Sirius pulled himself off James and wrapped a sheet around himself, he felt hurt that James wouldn't let him do this and he also felt extreme curiosity over why he wouldn't let him do it. "James, what's the matter?"

James pulled the duvet around himself and crossed his arms protectively over his chest as he looked back to Sirius. James took a deep breath, "Um, you know when you had that nightmare and I said that something bad had happened to me that nobody knew about?"

Sirius nodded. Why did James look so scared?

"Well, like I said to you then, I'd had a boyfriend before you." Continued James hesitantly. "H-He was in our House and the Head Boy in our fifth year at Hogwarts-"

"That sleaze?!" Exclaimed Sirius in disbelief. He knew exactly whom James was talking about, and that boy was a really nasty person.

"I-I-I know he was nasty to people, but, in private he was really nice to me and, you know at fifteen you're impressionable and…I thought he cared about me." Said James biting his bottom lip nervously. "But…" He took a moment to gather his thoughts and try to put this into words. "The reason I don't like being taken control of during sex is because of him."

Sirius was watching James intently. He had never seen his best friend act like this before, although there was that one time in their fifth year… It suddenly clicked in Sirius' head, what James was about to tell him must be why he had been so depressed back in their fifth year!

James squeezed his eyes shut and then opened them again before continuing, "One night, we were in bed – In his Dorm of course – and we were, you know… But-well it always started off consensual, I would let him-" He made hand movements to demonstrate what he was trying to say and Sirius nodded in understanding. "But, that night he-he started to get quite rough. I tried to get him to stop but he was a lot bigger than me and he just wouldn't listen… Anyway, like I said, he got rough and it really hurt and it scared me, it scared me because he wouldn't stop. It was like I wasn't even there while he was doing it."

Sirius didn't know whether to feel angry with the bastard that had done this to James or feel sad for his Jamie being put through something like that.

James sighed and tried to blink back the tears that were fighting their way forward, "Anyway, after that night it really put me off ever letting any other guy in charge during sex, and he tore me down there. Madame Pomfrey knew all about this because I had to go to her because, it was so painful, of course she had to tell someone else what this guy was like-" Sirius cut him off.

"That's why he was transferred wasn't it? Because of you." He said in realisation.

James nodded, his hazel eyes were shining with tears, "Madame Pomfrey, Dumbledore and McGonagall as his Head of House agreed on transferring him. They, of course didn't tell the students the real reason but they told his parents the reason he was transferred is because he committed sexual assault on a minor. I did get told off for consenting to something like that as well, but they were on my side."

Sirius reached out and took James' hand in his and squeezed it gently, "I'm sorry you had to go through that, but you could've told us. Me and Rem anyway, I'm not sure Peter would understand though."

James smiled slightly, "I would've told you guys, but, I figured you wouldn't understand and that…well…that you might ditch me because I'm gay."

Sirius frowned, "You know full well we would never have ditched you over something like that."

"I know that now, I just didn't then." Replied James, he rubbed his eyes, "Anyway, I've told you my sob story, now tell me yours."

Sirius winked, "Wait until my next nightmare." He sidled up to James' side. "Do you want a hug?"

James looked at him, "Thought you'd never ask."

Sirius grinned and pulled his fiancé into his arms. He pressed a kiss to James' messy black hair; he then leaned back against the headboard bringing James with him. "So, no sex then?"

James snorted quietly, "No…I'm not in the mood anymore. That really dampens your arousal remembering things like that, you know?"

Sirius ruffled James' hair affectionately, "I know, I was kidding. I wouldn't want that if I had to relive something like that either."

James nuzzled his head against Sirius neck, "Thank you. For listening, I mean. Not saying we don't have to have sex."

Sirius grinned out across the room, "I know. You can stop talking now, Prongs, I understand."

"Night then."

"Wha-You're kidding right? We're going to stay up all night and talk now." Said Sirius in a mock stern voice.

James let out a groan, "Do we have to?"

Sirius nodded, "Yes love, we do. Its imperative that we do, secrets could come out-"

Sirius broke off when he felt a pair of warm soft lips on his neck.

"Shut up Sirius."
