Ange, you're a demanding bitch.

James held out a basket to Sirius, "My mother sent this for you."

"Do I want to open it?" asked Sirius slowly.

"Yes, absolutely. It's something you'll like. Something you've missed."

"Why is she sending me things?"

"Because she's feeling guilty and it's yours already."

Slowly reaching for the basket Sirius' smile was as languid as his motion. He pulled the blanket off of the basket and nearly screamed, "Oh," he gasped as he pulled the contents of the basket into his arms and dropped the container on the floor, "oh, god."

"Yeah, she grabbed him from the apartment."

The cat purred deeply and rubbed against Sirius, "He remembers me. Binkdine remembers me."

"Of course he does. A familiar always knows his master."

The cat fell asleep and James looked between the catatonic cat and his catatonic son and said, "I think we're being given a message here."

Wrapping his free arm around James' waist Sirius said, "So put the boy in his bed and let's get to our own one."

They placed Harry in bed and wandered into their own bedroom. Dropping the cat onto the foot of the bed Sirius laughed and said, "I love you. How was it?"

"Less miserable than it could have been," James nodded to himself. "I missed you. She sent a letter to you with the cat. She's really sorry."

"Don't talk about your mum while I'm trying to seduce you."

"Pull off all of my clothes and ravish me, I won't talk of Mum again," James assured him.

"I'm glad it wasn't awful. Can you make me feel wonderful?"

"Always," James said as he took control and slowly stripped Sirius naked. The cat woke up and looked at the two men and James said. "He's a pervert. Look, he's watching."

"Let him, he's missed a lot too," Sirius said cupping the man's face and forcing James to refocus. He ran his tongue over James' clavicle. He breathed in his lover's scent as the man laughed. "What?"

James wound his fingers into Sirius' hair, "I missed my puppy."

"I love you too."
