Title: A Bond Never Dies

Part: 3/?

Words: 161

Warnings: Angst.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

James knew damn well what Sirius had done to him a little over a year ago. Was he angry? No. Why? Who the hell knows. It was nice to think that Sirius had felt the urge to let James care for him. He trusted James to take care of him. And James wanted to take care of the boy. There was no logical reason. Sirius wasn't weak and didn't need a sitter but James felt compelled to hold him close and sing him to sleep. Maybe that was the bond, but maybe it wasn't. Maybe he simply gave a damn. The bond was scary, they needed to stay together, if parted they would die. It was simple and to the point. So why didn't it scare him? Why was the idea of spending his life at Sirius' side not frightening as hell? Was it really that he loved the boy like a brother? Or did he just simply love the boy?
