Naps and Suspicions

It had been one week since Sirius had "shown Remus around." Sirius liked to consider it a date but would never say so out loud. It had been amazing, going all over London with this handsome, shy, intelligent man. However, as the week passed on, he was only able to catch fleeting glimpses of Remus as they both went about Mr. Black's business.

Currently, he was on his way to his father's office to drop off some files and take a break. As he was walking down the hall he saw a flash of gold disappear into his father's office. He couldn't help the thrill of joy that ran through him as he quickened his pace.

Upon entering, he could hear the French accent coming from his father's personal office. The speech was occasionally interrupted by a quick "Uh huh," "alright," and "wonderful." He noted all of this in the few seconds it took him to sit down in Remus' chair and start fiddling with various odds and ends on the desk.

He looked up when the door opened and smile warmly at the stressed man who exited. Remus gave him a tired smile in return and raised an eyebrow at his occupied chair. Sirius gave him an innocent smile and held up the folders.

Remus let out a sigh and snatched them from Sirius before re-entering the office. There was an exclamation of "Ah! Thank you Remus." The man came back into the room and stood in front of Sirius, shifting impatiently and crossing his arms over his chest.

Sirius smirked before grabbing Remus' elbow and pulling him onto his lap. The Frenchman squeaked and went stiff. It took a few awkward moments before Remus' exhaustion took over. He slumped back against Sirius' chest, sighing tiredly. Sirius wound his arms around his waist and shifted him to a more comfortable position. Remus snuggled back against him and dozed off.

Sirius looked down at him, smiling softly. He silently awed at Remus' beauty; his smooth skin, high cheekbones, long nose, angel soft golden hair, all of it made Remus stunning. After waging a small battle inside himself, he finally leaned down and kissed Remus' hair.

Over the next few weeks, despite being extremely busy, to the point that Sirius had to come in almost everyday and help, Remus and Sirius still managed to have an hour long nap together on Friday and a semi-regular lunch together.

They had become much closer, so much so that Mr. Black, very much aware of his son's sexuality, began to suspect something. This suspicion was cemented in his mind, however, when he came upon one of their Friday naps. The sight of his secretary curled into his son with Sirius' arms wrapped protectively around him really made Mr. Black step back and rethink his position on Sirius' preferences. The image of them in the position reminded him too strongly of he and his wife. Ophelia even looked somewhat similar to Remus, with her delicate frame and silent air of tragedy. He came to the conclusion that if the two young men decided to have a relationship, he would be as ok with it as possible.
