Warning: Slash. Sirius/James. R for later chapters

Remus looked up at them with an expression of bewilderment and amusement, while Peter looked around stupidly for some sort of explanation.

"What? What!? Nothing interesting here!" Snapped Sirius taking his seat rudely, and furiously grabbing the quill off Peter's desk to begin writing. Lily was staring at the back of James's head waiting for some hint to assure her that it was a rather large joke, but James just stared at his hands, blushing madly until Remus nudged him. His head turned, taking a guess at who he had to deal with and gave Lily a wicked sort of grin and a wink. She returned his gesture with an exasperated sigh somewhat satisfied by his answer.

The rest of Potions class continued manageably dully, writing answers to complicated questions involving sleeping draughts and remedial potions on spells that missed its mark and disfigured its purpose. The occasional glace was shared between Sirius and James but was broken almost as fast as it started. When the bell did finally ring though, Sirius and James began walking extremely fast towards the door, shuffling uncomfortably waiting for someone to break the silence.

"Excellent, you've made us both look like prats. Well-done-James." Said Sirius sarcastically easing back into a normal state.

"Well atleast its true on your part" James replied grinning, glad that their temporary period of 'no communication' had ended.

"Oh please. I've got more girls waiting to snog me that you ca-"

"Come off it Padfoot!" laughed James cutting Sirius off as they walked back towards the great hall. The Gryffindors followed them as they walked a few steps ahead shoving each other playfully and trying to out-walk Lily who was trying to catch up to the pair with Remus walking beside them, immersed in his own thoughts on the test.

"Potter! – Hey- Come on! Potter!" A sly voice rang through the dungeons. They turned to see a small gang of slytherins exiting the Potions class led on by Severus Snape and Evan Rosier with a look of absolute glee etched onto their faces.

"I thought I smelt something foul. Should have known, it was just ol' Snivelus" Sirius said stepping in front of the Gryffindors.

"What the hell do you gits want" James asked, taking his wand out and starting to lazily spin it in his fingers.

A look of posed innocence fell on Snape's face, as a smile crept onto his thin lips. He wanted the words to have a proper effect and said steadily so it could be taken in to maximum pleasure. "Oh... Nothing. Nothing. Just, you know, reminding you – "(he looked directly at Sirius.) "- that you best be holding your boyfriends hand to the next class"

Instead of reciting some vague hex that would have made Snapes already large nose inflate, or make his knickers disappear Sirius sort of stood still as a dark shade of red began creeping up his neck, which had, never, ever happened before in public. And for the first time in possibly his life span so far at the school he didn't know what the bloody hell he should say. His mouth was frozen in a meak attempt to reply but his head continued to replay the scenario of James holding his wrist.

Snapes expression increased in happiness 10-fold, for he had never dreamed Sirius Black would stand in front of him gaping uselessly (looking oddly like a dying goldfish). "Sod off Snivelus. Atleast I'm not trying to get a sympathy fuck off Slughorn for not being his favorite potions boy" James had spoken up in the nick of time, and the dungeons rang with laughter, the color came back to Sirius's face as he regained composure. Snape turned away gesturing for Rosier to follow him towards the Slytherin common room as the Gryffindors in turn made their exit as well.

"Oh don't bother about him" Lily said quickly. "Come on, lets go get lunch". She began pulling James away which strikingly resembled the exact method James had used to move Sirius along earlier.

"Coming Pads?"

"Eh? Wha-What?" Sirius looked up suddenly tearing his eyes away from Lily's hand on James's wrist, and saw the hopeful look James was giving him implying for him to come along. "Erm... no, no. I think ill go up to the common room with Remus. But Peter'll come with you though, wont you Peter?" It was more of a command rather than an option for Peter to choose from, but he seemed more than happy to go with James.

He eagerly nodded his head "Yeah! Ill come James"

"Hooray" James said dully, giving Sirius a look that easily could be interpreted as loathing for pushing Peter to go with him. Sirius replied with a shrug as he turned and hurried off with Remus upstairs.

There are things wrong with boys who think too much about other boys. Atleast that's what Sirius thought. He was sitting in the common room now on a chair opposite to Remus (who was busily writing down some notes from a rather large book on his lap) looking much more worried that he would ever have looked in any other situation. His long fingers where gripping the corners of his chair and his feet kept swinging dangerously close to the fireplace.

Remus's voice broke the silence. "Are you alright Sirius?"

"Why? What!? Why would I not be alright" Sirius answered a bit too quickly, coming off as nervous rather than exhibit usual rudeness that accompanied his words.

"You look paler than me. And you're breathing really hard like you saw Peter having a wank or something. Not to mention your going to set your feet on fire"

"Well spotted Moony, I've just been thinking about Peter getting off" he said, cracking a smile. Remus shook his head smiling back and went back to his writing.

'But you know, I don't actually think I'm okay. I think I need some sleep.' Sirius was thinking to himself 'fucking James.'

"You know what, Remus; I think I'm actually going to head to bed for a while"

"But its 12 in the afternoon" He said plainly, looking concerned.

"Ahh, well, had a rough night; Stupid Evans came barging in to wake up James"

"Oh yes, I heard that too, but I was half asleep really, so I didn't bother"

"Lucky you, I woke up to stare right into her arse and –"He chuckled to himself imagining James's reaction to her arrival. "I'm just going to go to bed. Just tell the others I'm not up for lessons today. And maybe drop in a word with the other masters that I'm feeling a bit sick?"

"They won't believe me Sirius. They'll think you're out throwing dung bombs on 2nd years with James or nicking a few extra butterbeers from Madame Rosmerta instead of being in Charms"

"Well James will be in class. I don't care though, I really need some rest. Thanks Moony. Goodnig... Well, hah, I'm off" He jumped up from his chair gathering the books thrown into the floor and swung past Remus into the dormitory.

"Be up by dinner, will you" Said Remus behind him as he closed the door.

Sirius POV

He's a bit of a kid really. Running around, chasing snitches and girls like there's no difference. I'm not going to try and pretend this is the first time I've been thinking about you for more than a few hours straight. No, don't kid yourself Sirius. You think about your best friend way more than any good best friend should. You've got enough girls willing to snog you without the help of firewhiskey and spells. They line up in front of classrooms and corridors waiting to ask you out or give you a box full of sweets. And I throw them out, or I give them to Peter because obviously his life goal is to remain pudgy and exasperating dumb. But apart from the sweets, I've got those witches under my grasp. I bet I could have Evan's if I wanted, but I'm letting you have her. I'm not letting her have you though. Wait-What? I don't even mean that. But if I do have all the girls…

Then why'd you still need that fucking boy? Did I just say need? I don't need James. Of course I don't. Well Snivelus doesn't seem to think so.

Stupid slimy snotty Sni-… I'll save the Snape-rant for another day, but, really though.

Why did you hold my hands? You don't know what you did to me then. You bastard. You think I don't hope you'll hold my hands like that more often? You think I don't agree with Snivellus's stupid little comment. You had me twitching on the inside, fuck yes I was bloody mad, we looked like fools in front of the entire class.

But I was happy. Because it made it seem like I was yours. And you only wanted me. And for a brief second I was going to pull you in. You with your wicked smiles and messy hair. You try too hard James. But you don't need to try at all with me, I'm all yours. I don't want Fucking Melly, I don't want those 7th year girls let alone the ones in our own, I don't want any of them, and I don't want you.

Sorry, that came out wrong. I want you. I want you so much that my heart explodes when you carelessly touch my shoulders and hands, and brush snow off my head in the winter, and whine for me to come with you wherever you go. But I don't want to want that. That doesn't even make sense in my own head.

You know what really scares me though. More than anything. Is the idea that you might, just maybe, might want me back.

James POV

I wish Lily would stop forcing me to go with her everywhere. She's a sweet girl. Really, I think I might even want to take her out sometime but I don't have time for that now. I just want to go be with Siri-…

Jesus Fucking Christ James, your sixteen. Sixteen! Stop thinking about him as your playmate. Stop following him everywhere. It's your 6th year for god sakes. And Padfoot's got all these girls he's gone out with already, and even Remus had some 4th year ask him to go to that little book reading at Hogsmeade last year. Why the fuck cant I just go out with Lily or someone, like actually physically take them out. I'm always flirting with a few of them and drawing back right when something's about to happen.

It's not my fault… its yours. That's the best I can come up with. You shine, you know that. Yeah I'm a good go with Quidditch and I'm not bad looking –

He stupidly grinned into his goblet at this point looking at his reflection

"Why're you smiling like that? You look like an absolute idiot" Lily was staring at me looking ready to laugh.

"Ooh, nothing, just thinking about … uh, our...Walk?" well… I he tried right?

"Oh. Well then. Alright" Good. That worked She brightened up then and returned my smile.

Where was i? Right right, quidditch, good looking. But Sirius, you know I'm nothing compared to you. You make me look better than I am. I don't know what its like to be you, I've got a good family and you and Remus with me, right and that other guy, peter, but you've got nothing. Well nothing but us I guess. And yet still, you're so … so…

Sexy. Ah! What- no, no that's not right. James what's wrong with you? Its 12 in the damn afternoon. You're just really great alright? I think sometimes you know that I'd give anything for you to look at me like you look at yourself. Smirking because you know you're brilliant, being an ass because nothing can bring you down, walking around like you can do anything. I'm nothing Sirius; compared to you I'm really just a boy who wants to love something better. And it scares me pads, it really scares me, that it could be you.

I don't know why I did that today. Was I hoping you'd like it? That was a stupid thing to do I admit, but I couldn't stop myself. You were standing there with your dark eyes and thin wrists hanging on your sides…just waiting... To … be… held.

You know? I just had to reach out and pull you along. I wasn't pulling you to potions class though. I was really just pulling you to me. And just hoping, you'd want that. And just hoping that you'd want me?

You're too sly to not know by now. That's probably why you're avoiding me. You probably think I'm one hell of a shit best friend. Holding your hands and trying to steal looks at you're back side when you're going into class.

Sometimes it's too much. Especially when you look at me, with your eyebrows raised. At those moments, I'm weak in the knees, ready to lay down and let you have a go with me in any way you'd want.

Normal Point of View

He's blushing now thinking about this. Blushing pretty hard actually.

"Why're you turning red James?"

"I'-I'm not turning red! Am i? Too hot here. Boiling over. Woooo" he began flapping his hands making dumb excuses and finally decided its best to just leave.

"Come on Peter, lets go up I'm not really hungry"

"But I wanted to eat this chi-"

"Peter, fine, take the goddamn chicken" He was tired, and sort of feeling a bit light headed with his on the spot-mini-Sirius-fantasy so began walking quickly to the Gryffindor common room.

"Oi! Remus! Hey. Where's Pads?" He had spotted Remus coming down the stairs with books under his arms.

"He's gone to bed James. I think he's a bit sick to be honest. I heard him muttering something to do with 'not wanting Melly' and something about 'not wanting 7th years' when he was in bed. I think he was fantasizing to be honest with you." Said Remus stopping at the bottom of the stairs.

James let out a sort of half-giggle laugh imagining Sirius dreaming in bed. "I'll go get him then, thanks moony. I think Peters still in the great hall" He left immediately into the common room giving the fat lady the password (Scintillation) and went up to the dormitory.

Will be continued…
