That one's a bit longer than the others... Hope you'll enjoy it... Just popped into my mind during the most boring seminar I ever had... ;-)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He was bored. Really bored. Simply lying on his bed, staring at the wall, counting how many times Lily has told him, that he was a show-off. He managed to remember a dozen times—and that was only today's result.
But when Sirius came in there was hope gleaming in his light brown eyes. That'll be it! Sirius was always up to some pranks and if he wasn't he perfectly knew somebody else who was.. So he asked: "Hey, Padfoot, what's the news?", expecting a wide grin to appear on the face of his black haired friend and a funny story to brighten up his day but he was disappointed.
Sirius only shrugged and answered: "Well, umm, nothing, I mean, not really..."
James always knew when his best friend tried to hide something from him. Now Sirius obviously did. So he asked.
"Padfoot?"
"Umm, yes?"
"What is it?"
"What is what?"
He hated it when Sirius tried to act as if everything was perfectly normal when in fact it wasn't.
"Damn, you know what I mean..."
"No..."
"There's something wrong with you!"
"Is there?"
"Yes, it fucking is! So tell me what, for heavens sake!"
"There's nothing..."
That was just that typically Sirius again... James hated having to ask the same stupid questions for a hundred time before finally getting an satisfying answer.
"Oh, come one, be serious..."
"I am!
"You're not!"
"See, it's my name so I obviously am Sirius!"
And. He. Hated. Sirius. Doing. This!
"You... Wait till I get you!"
"You won't..."
"Yes I will! So what the hell is going on here?"
"Well... I don't think I'd like to tell you now..."
"You will, will you? NOW!"
Frightening him a little bit ever worked... Though Sirius wasn't really frightened it always showed, that he was Sirius...No, James... Well, damn, serious of course!
"Well, I guess I'd have to tell you anyway... Do I?"
"Yes. You. Have. To."
He was really pissed off now.
"Well, don't laugh...or stare at me afterwards... or ."
"I promise I will neither laugh nor complain. But tell me now, before I'll beat it out of you!"
If you're not going to tell me I'll make you tell me! James thought, steadily losing his temper.
"Well, James, I... well, I kind of don't like girls... Umm, I mean, I don't swing on them this way... If you now what I mean?"
Well, now he really had to control his temper.
"Are you trying to tell me that you're gay?"
"Umm, well, I guess... Yeah, I do..."
James sighed.
"Padfoot, I was asking you for news, not for something I've known for ages!"
Really disappointed he turned away not noticing the stunned expression on his friend's face and continued staring at the wall.
