I would take time to reply to all of your reviews, really I would, but that damned huricane is supposed to leave us without power for a couple of days and I need to load this as soon as possible. I'll update as soon as I can. Promise!
"But I reserved a copy!"
"I'm sorry, sir. One of this morning's employees sold the last copy we had. If you'll just wait right here I'm
sure the manager will give you your money back."
James and Sirius watched as the young witch went and exchanged a few words with the store's owner.
"So, you're an Orion White fan?" Sirius smirked.
"Shut-up. I'm really not in the best of moods right now."
"Who would've thought? So, which part of his writings do you like: the smut, the romance, or all the hidden subplots?"
James snatched the money out of the woman's hands and stormed out of the store. Sirius snorted in amusement and followed after the other boy.
"Oh c'mon, baby. There's nothing wrong with liking his books. It's perfectly normal for a gay man tp have them. I have his entire collection."
James stopped, ready to protest the barb at his sexuality, and slowly turned around when Sirius quit talking.
"His entire collection?"
"Yes."
"Including the book that came out today?"
"Yep," Sirius grinned. "I've had it for about a week or so."
"How! It only came out today!"
"I have some friends in high places."
"Where's the book at?"
"In my trunk."
James roughly grabbed Sirius by his arm and began dragging him the rest of the way to the school.
"What are you doing? Don't get me wrong, I love it when you're all aggressive, but the book will still be there no matter how fast we walk."
"Do you ever think of anything but sex?" James snapped.
"Of course! Food, man!"
"Prat."
"Love you too, baby. Now, Evans will still be in the common room," Sirius gestured at the Fat Lady's portrait. "Ready to make her really jealous?"
"What are you planning?"
"Just go with it, ok?"
James didn't have time to protest before Sirius wrapped an arm around his waist, muttered "tootsie rolls," and began to kiss him rather passionately, dragging the shocked boy inside with him. Sirius ran his tongue along James' bottom lip and James moved his hands to play with the taller boy's long, raven locks, opening his mouth to let his own tongue play.
Completely ignoring everyone in the common room, Sirius pushed James against the wall. His mouth began trailing fiery kisses along James' neck. For his own part, James moved his head to the side and began to knead Sirius' shoulders.
"Would you two knock it off?"
WHAM
James and Sirius sprang apart, Sirius rubbing his side where Lily had decided to hit him with her book.
"If you two are going to try to steal each other's tonsils I suggest you go to your dorm room."
Sirius looked at James, who vaguely resembled a tomato by this point, and decided he had embarrassed the poor boy enough…for now.
"Right then, we'll just go get that book you wanted, baby. If you'll excuse us, Lils…"
James dashed up the stairs before anyone else could comment.
Naturally, Sirius followed him.
"What have I told you about walking away from me?" Sirius asked as he unlocked one of the compartments of his trunk.
"I wasn't walking, I was running. What the hell was that!"
"That, baby, was a kiss. Anyway, about that book…"
Sirius motioned James over and began climbing into his trunk, telling James to follow. After finally reaching the bottom of the ladder ('This room has to be as big as the Great Hall!' James thought), Sirius gestured to the bookshelf on his immediate right.
"All of White's stuff is on that one. Help yourself."
They stayed there for what seemed to be hours, only leaving when James found 10 books he wanted to read.
"You can come back for more later," Sirius had laughed.
So they began to climb the ladder again. James stepped out of the trunk first and Sirius heard him gasp. Hurrying the rest of the way out, Sirius looked around for whatever it was that shocked James so.
And then he spotted it.
Regulus Black, his little brother.
Regulus Black sitting on Remus Lupin's bed.
Regulus Black with Remus Lupin's tongue down his throat.
And Sirius saw red.
