Authors Note: Hello! I'm back again and this time you didn't have to wait as long! Yay! And I promise, this chapter is longer than the other ones! For some reason, my usual dividers aren't working so these ones might be slightly amusing... yeah. Since everyone seems pretty clear on what's going on, I don't have anything else to say. Hmm...so the whole note was pointless. Oh well! Read and Review!

Chapter 6
"You seem happy today," Brian observed.
"I am!" James said practically skipping to his next class.
"Really now, what caused this particular change?" Brian asked, genuinely happy for his friend. "Got a hot date?"
"Well...in a manner of speaking," James admitted with a slight blush.
"Hopefully this is kinky kind of guy that likes to hear other peoples names during sex," Brian joked.
"In this case, I don't have to hope for that. His name is Sirius. If I say 'Siri' he'll probably just chalk it up to a nickname. Besides...we aren't exactly in any kind of relationship yet," James said.
"Yet? You sounded pretty confident a minute ago," Brian added.
"You see, he kinda has kids and..."
"Kids? Oh Jay, I really hope you know what your getting yourself into. You'll have to deal with them and their mother and..." Brian started.
"Sirius is gay. From what I can see...they were adopted," James answered.
"Why would he want to raise children alone? Wouldn't there at least be some kind of co-guardian?"
"There was somebody...but they died," James said quietly. He wasn't sure why, but the pain Sirius must have felt when he lost his husband made him sad.
"Oh...well isn't that depressing. Hmm...okay, well cheer up! We're going to another boring and for the most part useless class!" Brian said.
"I hate to inform you, but the just made me more depressed," James said.
Brian laughed and pushed James through their classroom door just as class started.

Sirius sat at home dwelling on the painting James had shown him. How could he possibly paint that? He was a muggle, wasn't he? There was just something familiar about James. Sirius planned to figure out just what tonight.
He turned to stare into his fire. It was actually too warm to have a fire going, but he had just been floo called by Remus and hadn't felt like putting it out yet. For a while, they'd talked idly, but then their talk had turned to Harry as usual. According to the Order, Voldemort believed Harry was still alive. His take over would never be complete if Harry was still around, and considering all the bad luck they had had lately, they believed it was because Harry still existed. One of his death eaters thought they had a lead on his location.
As much as Sirius wanted to believe he was alive, he also didn't want to get his hopes up. Which was exactly what James's painting was doing. Frowning slightly, Sirius dug through his shoe-box full of muggle pictures of Harry.

James arrived home at 4:00 pm feeling mentally exhausted. As it was, he was behind in his assignments. Of course, he blew this off in favor of talking to his new fascination; Sirius.
James tossed his back pack in the house carelessly and stood in front of his mirror trying to make his hair look neat. H had no idea what was up with it lately, but for the past few weeks his hair had refused to lay flat.
Finally he just gave up on it and locked his apartment door and walked over to Sirius's. He took a deep breath and knocked. A few seconds later Sirius opened the door. James took another deep breath.
Sirius was looking extremely sexy, wearing only a t-shirt and loose fitting sweat pants.
"Oh. Hello James. I was just doing some work. Would you like to come in?" Sirius asked.
James stepped inside and was almost immediately toppled over by a crew of 3 little boys.
"Ha-ha! We got the intruder!" Alex claimed happily.
"Intruder!" Darin agreed nodding vigorously.
Sirius but out laughing at his boys' antics. "Sorry about that James. They didn't know you were coming. Boys, get off him," Sirius said.
James laughed as they jumped off him and saluted their father.
"So...I take it these are the children you were referring to?" James asked.
"That would be them. The biggest is Alex, the smallest is Darin, and the cute one in the middle is Ray," Sirius said pointing to each child. All three beamed at James.
"Hello," He said somewhat nervously.
"Okay boys, how about you go play in your rooms. Daddy needs to talk to James, okay?"
"Will we get candy if we're good?" Alex asked.
Sirius laughed. "Got to hand it to you. You drive a hard bargain. A deals a deal." They shook on it and the boys ran off to a room grinning madly.
"They're so cute!" James said as he and Sirius each took a chair in the living room.
"They may be cute, but they're very devious. Reminds me of myself actually," Sirius said was a small smile. "Now that introductions are finished, let's get to the main point. Your painting."
James looked slightly confused. "What do you mean?"
Sirius sighed. This meant that it was more than likely jus a coincidence that James had painted Harry. 'But how is that possible?' Finally, Sirius just picked up the stack of pictures he'd selected earlier and handed them over to James.
James's eyes widened. "Is this-?"
Sirius smiled sadly. "Yes that's my deceased husband Harry."
A man, who appeared to be in his early 20's, with vivid green eyes and an extraordinarily messy mop of black hair was glaring at the person holding the camera to take his picture.
The next picture contained the same man, except this time he was asleep and sprawled out on a couch.
Next was a picture of Sirius and the man together. Both were grinning madly as Harry was struggling to support both his own and Sirius's weight. The picture looked like Harry and Sirius had posed for the picture but Sirius had spontaneously jumped into Harry's arms.
The next one showed the same scene, except this time they were kissing.
The next to last one was at their wedding. Both were wearing robes of some sort. Whatever they were, they were beautifully made in blue and gold fabrics. Another man stood before them, in the process of waving his hands around in a speech. Whoever it was gave James the impression of being omnipotent. Something was tugging at the back of his mind, but he ignored it in favor of viewing the last one.
It was Harry again, except this time he was laying on a bed without his shirt. The muscles of his stomach were well toned and the look on his face was pure seduction.
James handed the pictures back to Sirius was a wistful sigh.
"What did you think?" Sirius asked.
"I think I painted him...but I have no idea why. Maybe because he's so cute?" James replied.
"Yeah. He always was extremely sexy. He had nice slim muscles that I loved to touch..." Sirius added.
"Must have played Quidditch," James agreed.
Sirius turned shocked eyes on James and gaped.
A/N: Sorry, had to end it there. At least you can't complain about it being to short! That's as long as I can possibly make a chapter! Don't always expect the chapters to be this long...especially if you want me to update more than once a month. Oh well. Let me know what you think!
REVIEW!!!
