Pairing: Sirius/Petunia

xXx

Sirius kissed her and the dulcet taste of the mango she had eaten not that long ago transferred to his mouth. Before he could deepen the kiss, the front door opened, signaling the fact they were no longer alone.

He stepped back, putting a respectable distance between them, smirking when he saw her crestfallen expression. "Meet me at our place," he whispered, turning and Apparating on the spot.

Petunia was left blinking, a rosy blush on her cheeks, just as Lily entered her bedroom. "What's with the look?" Lily asked.

Petunia glared at her sister. "None of your business." She grabbed her bag and ran out of her room, and then her house. She quickly made her way to the city park, and then went to the restrooms, which resided beside a small wooded area.

Sirius was waiting for her and the minute he saw her, he pounced, his hands as hungry for her as his lips.

Petunia lightly pushed him away. "Stop."

It was a soft order, but he listened to her. "What is it? What's wrong?'

She gulped. "Are you happy with this? With us?"

He reached for her again, but she resisted. His hands dropped uselessly to his side. "Of course I'm happy. Why wouldn't I be?"

"You deserve so much more than what I can give you. You deserve someone with magic. Someone that can understand your world. Don't you want that?"

"What I want is you. I never cared about you not having magic. I never thought of it as a problem."

"Or is it just a rebellion for you? You told me about your parents. You know how much they'd hate us. Is this just a way to anger them? Am I just a means to an end?"

"I haven't talked to them since I was sixteen. I haven't told them about us, and if it was about them, I would have. It's you I want. I don't care about my parents knowing or not knowing. I just want to be with you."

I read a letter who wrote to James. I didn't mean to, but James had come to bother Lily, and it must have fallen out of his bag. You called me a challenge, and it made it seem like that was the reason you liked me."

"Don't believe everything you read. Yes, you were a challenge. You didn't immediately fall at my feet like most girls, and that was one of the reasons that I was interested in you. But when I got to know you, got to see the girl you hid from the world, I fell for you. What I feel for you is real. Please believe me."

Petunia bit her bottom lip and took a couple of more steps back. "I wish I could. I really do."

"Petunia, don't do this."

She kept backing away.

He transferred to a large black dog.

"Becoming Padfoot isn't going to change my mind. I just don't know if I can trust you. If I can't trust you, how can I be with you?"

She turned around and fled, ignoring the animagus' whining. She closed her eyes and ran. This was for the best. She knew it was.
