Leaving the Slytherin dungeon one night to take a trip to the library, Severus was suddenly pushed into the wall with a hand clasping his mouth to stifle any outbursts. As his vision came back into focus, he could see in the dim corridor candlelight Sirius Black's face inches from his.

Black's other hand had pushed his chest against the wall and his eyes bored into Snape's. Struggling would only make things worse...

"Come with me," Sirius whispered, slowly taking his hands off Severus.

Severus didn't understand why now of all times Black wanted to talk to him. He thought it was over. Black hadn't tried to find Snape for the past few days and now all of a sudden here he was... waiting.

He followed the Gryffindor towards the library, exactly where he was going to go anyway. They were both silent during their trip from the dungeons. Eventually they entered the library and Black continued towards the back. Towards Snape's corner.

Severus stopped. "What do you want, Black?" He could barely see the other boy turn around in the dark and approach him slowly.

Sirius stopped before Snape and stared at him softly. "What do you think, Snivellus? I like new places."

"No."

"What? You're refusing me?"

Snape couldn't quite tell if he was being teased... "I'm not doing this again, Black. Now if you'll excuse me, I came here for a purpose."

He tried to sidestep Black but was caught by the wrist. Black dug his fingers into Snape and glared at him. "As did I."

Severus tried to pull away, unsuccessfully. I really need to work out. "I am not going to be your God-damn fuck buddy, Black. I don't want this," he hissed. He finally broke loose but couldn't move. Sirius still glared at him but with renewed angst and... sorrow? They simply stood and stared at one another in the dim candlelight until Black muttered something under his breath.

"Mind speaking so I can understand you, Black?" He never thought he'd say that. Black was always so damn loud around his friends.

"I'm sorry."

That hit Snape hard. Sorry? Sirius Black, sorry?

Black now gazed off into the darkness, ignoring Severus' slightly gaped mouth and widened eyes. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and cocked his head back at Severus.

After a few more moments: "What?"

Sirius smirked. "I'm not saying it again. It's bad enough I had to lower myself twice before by going to you."

"It was your choice. I have yet to understand why you made it."

"I don't need to explain myself. I did what I wanted to do." He looked around the library again before looking back at Snape. "I won't force you."

Swiftly he turned away and strode out of the library, Severus watching him the while.

A few days before the students returned from break, Severus was taking a nap in the Great Hall on the table when he was awakened by stifled giggling. The giggling quickly became louder and Severus turned his head to the side and saw from the corner of his vision a thin raven-haired girl and a black-haired boy stumble into the Hall grasping at each other. Immediately Severus recognized the boy as Black, the girl as a random encounter.

He continued to lay on the table and shifted his gaze to the ceiling.

"Hey, stop, stop a second," he whispered to the girl. Then to Severus, "Hey, Snivellus, shouldn't you be in your dungeon instead of dirtying up our table?"

He had been lying on the Gryffindor table. Severus sat up and turned around. "At least I'm not wiping up the entire castle with dirty whores, Black." He jumped from the table and grabbed his bag, ignoring Sirius as he passed him. He began down the hall, hearing the girl shout at Sirius for not following him. Then Severus stopped to hear the girl hiss, "You like him don't you? You disgust me, Black. A Slytherin? Really. Wait until the others hear about this."

Snape turned around to hear Sirius slap the girl. She ran from the hall and stopped when she saw Snape. She scowled and ran past him.

Sirius slowly emerged from the Hall, striding towards Snape. "You shouldn't have done that, Black. She'll gossip."

"And who would believe her? Sirius Black the Gryffindor, gay? Let alone with a Slytherin. Let alone you."

He began walking with Snape down the hall, towards anywhere. Severus wanted to run from him. Somehow, he felt hurt. There had been a pang at his heart when Black slapped the girl. Shit, was he having feelings?

Snape didn't even notice when Sirius departed towards his common room. He continued to his own common room and collapsed in a corner facing the fireplace. Luckily the room was empty so he could think. Did he even want to think? Black had been so quick to dismiss Snape and move on. But it's not like they had even been together. They fucked a couple times, does that count as anything? He didn't understand...he didn't know if he wanted to try to understand. Sirius seemed so intent on having him but dropped him like a feather when he refused Sirius' advances again.

He sighed and fell asleep. What seemed like only moments later, there was a knocking at the common room door. He ignored the knocks until they began to loud and annoying he just had to open the door.

As he subconsciously suspected, Black stood at the doorway, hands in pockets, hair sloppily over one eye, staring at Snape who only looked back blankly.

"What?" Snape asked.

"I'm just surprised you didn't throw a temper tantrum when you saw me with a girl."

"I am not the sort of person to throw tantrums, as it were."

"Hmm. Well, I'll be going then." Black turned around and took one step before his arm was taken by Severus. He turned back and cocked his head at the other.

"Would you like... to come in? There's no one here." He let go of his arm.

Sirius smiled slightly and pushed his way in, Severus shutting the portal behind him.
