After an age they pulled up to a small house and James stopped the car. "We're here. Are you ok?"

Sirius just nodded slowly, "I'm a bit scared though. What if he doesn't like me?"

"Harry will love you."

"I meant Remus."

"What?"

"It's been a long time."

"Love," said James as he undid his seatbelt and slid closer to his mate, "it'll be ok. I promise. He still likes you. This is just Remus and Harry. No one else. I'll be right here with you." He kissed Sirius slowly and then Padfoot pulled back.

"Sorry, I'm filthy." He studied his dirty hands and felt stupid and insignificant.

James shook his head when he realized that Sirius had no intention of looking up. "I love you. You're fine. Beautiful." He leaned in to lift Sirius' chin but the man refused.

"I must taste foul."

"No, you taste fine. Remember that New Year's Eve party at my parents' house? When you threw up you tasted foul. But I kissed you then. You're fine. Kiss me?" Looking up reluctantly Sirius kissed James without a word. James pulled himself into Sirius' lap and twined his fingers into the man's filthy hair. "You're lovely," he promised as he broke away to breathe, "I love you. I always have."
