Lucius stared at the marriage contract. His name was listed on it, but where his future spouse should be listed, the only thing on it was Black.

Lucius had to marry a Black, but there was no specific Black named. It was his decision.

The logical choice would be Narcissa. She was beautiful and poised. She was the perfect Pure-blood witch and would be the ideal wife to him.

Did he want to go with logical, though? Or did he want to listen to his heart for once in his life?

Laughing silver eyes, accompanied with a knowing smirk, flashed through his mind. Masculine features instead of feminine curves lit up l his memory.

And Lucius had his answer.

Sirius watched Lucius. He studied the blond, memorizing his movements and facial expressions. He knew Lucius was thinking about his future, and he knew he probably had no role in it.

That knowledge didn't stop his heartbeat from speeding up when their eyes locked.

Understanding passed between them. They would meet at their place.

In two hours, after making sure to grab the Marauders' map so the others couldn't follow him, Sirius found himself in the passageway that led to Honeydukes' cellar.

Lucius was already there and as soon as they were enclosed in the darkness, Lucius' wand lit up after a muttered, "Lumos."

"Lucius?"

"I need to pick my future partner for the contract."

Sirius flinched. "When are you telling Narcissa the good news?"

With his free hand, Lucius grabbed Sirius' shoulders. "You shouldn't trust me. Not after what I've done. I know when I ended our relationship, I hurt you. I thought I had to marry a witch and produce an heir."

"Are you saying you don't?"

"I have to marry a Black, according to the contract, but there's nothing that says it has to be a woman. And there nothing that says how an heir has to be born. We can do a surrogate, and it would still fulfill the guidelines of the contract."

"Are you saying…" Sirius trailed off.

"I want to marry you. And if you say yes, all we have to do is write your name on the contract. What do you say?"

Sirius' answer was to kiss Lucius. He never thought he'd get married, but if he were to take that step, he wanted it to be with Lucius.
