I realize the last chapter was a bit short. I've been hitting at least 2,000 words per chapter usually and the last chapter was barely over 1,000. Therefore I will attempt to up the word count on this chapter as an apology. 3,000 words should do it right? Just don't expect this every time! Again, thank you for the amazing reviews! I will do my best to update quickly and put out decent chapters. Someone mentioned wanting to see Sirius top so I believe there may be some of that in the near future and this story wouldn't be complete without some subtle but not so subtle Jily :)

Read. Rate. Review. Be Jolly and enjoy Bhindi Masala!

Sirius wasn't really ready to send Remus home. In fact, he was tempted to insist the blond stay the rest of the day and spend the night. He had restrained himself though. Lily sounded truly worried when Remus answered the phone and then she sounded scary and Sirius had the distinct feeling that her anger was not directed at Remus but at himself. He probably should have insisted on taking Remus home last night but he wasn't that much of a masochist. He did however insist on giving Remus a ride home. Remus had quietly offered to get a taxi. James had stared at him like he had lost his damn mind and Sirius just shook his head and dragged Remus out the door to his bike.

"Besides, I can finally give you a good night kiss when I drop you off at the door." Sirius said with a small smile.

"Was that the plan?" Remus asked playfully.

"It was and you ruined it! You just had to have me. Not that I can blame you. I'm a fine piece of arse." Sirius said as he swung onto his motorcycle.

Remus exhaled through his nose and rolled his eyes. He settled behind Sirius and wrapped his arms around Sirius firmly. No point in being shy now. Sirius gripped his knee in a warm hand and squeezed. He felt Remus' breath quicken on the back of his neck and smirked to himself before bringing the beast below them to life. He quite liked how quickly Remus could be aroused. It made his job much easier. He spent the entire ride thinking of things he could so to Remus. He had just gotten to chocolate body paint when he parked.

He waited for Remus to get off the motorcycle before disembarking. He watched Remus shuffle while waiting. He bit his lip and ran a hand through his messy honey hair. Sirius felt his heart skip a beat. God, Remus made him feel like he got kicked in the chest by a horse; breathless. He couldn't imagine how someone so cosmically perfect could be single. He couldn't understand what he had done to get this chance because as far as he knew he had been abysmal. He prided himself on it.

"You're gorgeous." Sirius blurted out without thinking. It sounded like an accusation even to his own ears, as though he was offended by the perfection before him.

Remus blushed but rolled his eyes "Hardly."

"No, I mean it. Its almost hard to look at you. Like the sun. You're bright and warm and I just... wow, ya know?"

Remus shook his head, his chin tilted down to hide his smirk. It was the first time someone had tried to wax poetic about his features and the first time someone had failed to spectacularly. There had been a few blokes who had complimented him but it was always "nice eyes" or "You're a handsome lad". Sirius looked at him with assessing eyes but it wasn't clinical. He wasn't staring at the light scars on his face to try to figure out Remus had gotten them. His gaze was a gentle caress. The intimacy left Remus with butterflies in unfamiliar places.

"Thanks, I guess." Remus muttered as he stepped towards Sirius.

Sirius was looking up at him with a storm in his grey eyes. Remus knew he was going to be kissed with an inch of life before Sirius reached for him. Remus found himself surrounded by the punk. He could smell the leather of Sirius' jacket before he was pulled against it, he could feel the heat of Sirius' hands cupping his jaw before they held him. That didn't stop him from moaning into Black's mouth when their lips touched. The kiss was a clash of Sirius' deep lust and Remus' crashing desire. Remus urged for more, pressed harder, but Sirius stood his ground and remained languid in his movement. He kissed like it was the only thing he had to that day and he was perfectly content to lazy snog Remus until the sun set.

Remus whimpered when Remus pulled away. "We're being watched and I don't think your friend appreciates the show." Sirius said with a chuckle.

Remus turned slightly and saw a flash of red hair and green eyes. Lily was of course eyeing them speculatively. Remus couldn't help but chuckle. Lily had always been a little too over protective. Remus had insisted time and time again that he could take care of himself but Lily only saw his as the scrawny little boy who cried because someone took his chocolate muffin. She was usually the one to cover for him when he got into mischief until he met Peter. After they stuck pins in the wrong seat she had refused to cover for him since he was "so hellbent on being a complete twat" as she had so eloquently put it.

"She's a bit of a mother hen. Don't let that fool you; she'd send the devil packing given the chance."

"I'd be protective of you if I were in her shoes too." Sirius said tugging Remus' hips into his own.

Remus hummed appreciatively but kept his face blank. "Oh really? Does that mean you're dangerous?"

"Oh yes, to you especially. I'm just a wolf in sheep's clothing, waiting to gobble you up."

"Is this how sheep dress now?" He asked eyed the leather jacket and the holey shirt.

"What's wrong with how I dress?" Sirius prickled.

"Hmm?" Remus asked using a finger to caress a rib through a perfectly placed hole in the garment.

Sirius didn't get to reply because Remus was kissing the spot behind his ear. Sirius melted. He felt teeth tugging on the hoop of his earring and he felt like howling. Remus was just a bundle of surprises under those sweaters. Remus was manhandling him until he was sitting on the en edge of his motorcycle. The blond had no choice but to bend down to continue his attack. He nipped the edge of Sirius' jaw, a bit prickly because he hadn't thought it necessary to shave, before he took his lips. Remus no longer had the patience for slow kisses. He kissed with a hungry force that had the shorter male mewling like a kitten.

Sirius' hands tried to find solace anywhere. They pulled at the green yarn of his sweater before touching his neck and finally finding his hair. Sirius let Remus kiss as he pleased. It was rare if ever someone kissed him with more tenacity than he supplied. He felt Remus begin to pull back and he muttered no a handful of times before dragging him back to his mouth. He felt Remus' hand over his rib, his calloused thumb occasionally brushing against his skin through the hole.

Remus pulled away again. He nipped Sirius' lip before lightly brushing his lips again. Sirius chased his retreat. His eyes were still closed when Remus had fully withdrawn. The thick black lashes brushed against his cheeks and his lips were red and a tad swollen. Okay, more than a tad. He looked like his mouth had just been thoroughly fucked. Something Remus would get around to later because he was damn sure getting a second date by the looks of things.

Sirius opened his eyes slowly. He looked dazed. Remus smiled smugly. Just how he wanted it. It was rare for Remus to fail at something he really tried for. He was, after all, a perfectionist. He touched his thumb to Sirius' lower lip. He knew it was where his teeth had closed and tugged until Sirius had groaned into his mouth. He didn't say anything. He just continued to smirk as he turned away and walked into his home.

Sirius watched wide eyed as Remus casually left him. Left him. Sirius Black. Casually. As if he hadn't just changed how Sirius would view things for the rest of his life. As if he hadn't just devoured him completely. As if he wasn't affected at all by what just happened. Sirius stared at the door slack jawed for minutes after Remus disappeared behind it. And what was with that smirk? Who gave him permission to be so charming and wicked? Who gave him permission to have a panty dropping grin? That was Sirius' thing. Remus couldn't have one too! It wasn't fair. It made him feel like begging for things.

Sirius shook his head because the idea of begging Remus had turned him on to the point of nearly going up to the door and demanding Remus ravish him. He would give it a day or two and then call the delightful blond to ask for another date. He would be extra charming this time. He would not be made a fool of. Sirius Black is the charmer around these parts, he assured himself before driving off.

It was 2 days later and James and Sirius were dying of boredom at work. Sirius hadn't brought up Remus more than to ask if he should call. James had assured him that the 3 day rule still applied to blokes. Sirius eyed him suspiciously and asked if he was sure. James Potter was always sure! Sirius shrugged and took his word for it. he wanted to gush about their goodbye kiss but he didn't want to sound prissy. That wasn't the real reason. James had forbidden it after Sirius jumped on him at 2 am and then proceed to twirl his fingers in his best friends hair while talking about the size of Remus' hands.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" Came a call from the front of the store.

Both boys jumped to life. Finally, Something to do! Sirius shoved James to the front of the store while he went to the back to get a ball of dough. It was rare to hear things in the back of the store. He had music playing 95% of the time and the customers voices didn't carry very far to begin with. He leapt out of his skin when he heard this particular customer though.

"Where is that mangy, no good mutt? I know he's here." He had enough experience to know that was him. It was always him. No one ever came in to harass James. Well, except their favorite Widow, Candice.

"I'm terribly sorry. We don't employ canines. No thumbs, you see." James practically purred. Whoever was out there was definitely a looker.

"No qualms about hygiene?" came a snide retort.

"If you saw half the people who come through here you would know that isn't a real concern." Sirius could hear the smirk in his voice. Cocky sod.

"That doesn't surprise me in the least. Where's Black?" She sounded cold and Sirius wasn't fond of being addressed by cold women. Too many memories of his mother.

"That depends on what you want. If you're pregnant then I've never heard of him. If you're looking for a date, I'm a much better time."

"I just want a moment of his time." Why did that sound more like 'I just want to knock him around until he can't count to 3'?

"I can take a message."

"But you can't take a hint."

Ouch. Sirius figured James wouldn't be able to take much more abuse so he came to the front of the store. he had been expecting a cross ex-lover or maybe even an angry sister. He had not been expecting Remus' roommate. But there she was. her red hair was pulled back into a sleep ponytail and her black sweater was tucked into a skirt in an outrageous shade of grape.

"Lily?" As if it could be anyone else.

"Shithead." She bit out as she eyed him with narrowed eyes. If looks could kill James would be delivering a funny but heartfelt eulogy right now.

"Woah there, firecracker. What did I do this time?"

"This time?" She asked with a kind of aggression that made him shrink in more ways than one.

"He mucks up a lot." James said with a smile.

"You're not helping!" Sirius said throwing a rag at his friends head.

"It's what you didn't do." She said coolly.

"What didn't I do?" What did he not do? "I was a perfect gentleman! Okay, I'll admit that I took advantage but he made the first move!"

"You really don't know?" She looked at him as if he were stupid.

"If I knew I wouldn't be asking you would I?"

She groaned. "You were supposed to call. Why haven't you called?" She hissed as she crossed her arms over her chest. The movement caught James' attention. "Stop staring at my chest. Prat." Her words didn't deter him. James only moved his gaze to her face. Her exceptionally beautiful face, if you asked him, not that anyone had. But he felt as though someone should.

"It ...hasn't been 3 days?" Sirius asked slowly afraid that she was going to smack him.

Her eyes softened and went wide. "Wh-What did you just say? You're following the 3 day rule. After shagging on the first date? Are you an idiot? You're an idiot. Why would you think that was a good idea?"

Sirius shot James a speaking look. James shrugged. "Sounded right at the time."

Lily seemed to soften to Sirius again. Sirius wasn't looking at her anymore. Had he made Remus insecure? Had he blown it? What if Remus didn't want to see him again now? What if he never got to kiss Remus again? What if Remus never fucked him? Oh no. This was not okay. This was not happening. He pulled his phone out and muttered something about a call he had to make before rushing to the linen closet for privacy.

He heard Lily scolding James but it didn't sound nearly as harsh. In fact it sounded like she was a bit less prickly now. he could hear pauses when James would speak but it was too soft to hear through the door but it caused Lily to fluster and stutter a bit before she continued. Sirius wanted to laugh and he would later. James was obviously immediately taken with the fiery little hen. He couldn't take his eyes off her. James could always be counted on to come to his defense but he looked positively lost. Sirius would be sure to tease him after this whole ordeal was solved. He might also put chili powder in his boxers as a thank you for the wonderful advice. He was just full of love for James Potter.

His phone screen lit up the small space and he pressed the green button quickly. He bit his lip while it rang. Please pick up. Please pick up. He felt his stomach drop and his nerves fray as he waited. This was ridiculous. He had shagged the guy! Why was he nervous? Seeing someone naked was supposed to fix that damn it!

"Hello?"

Oh god! He picked up. Remus had picked up.

It's just shy of 3,000 words but it was the best spot for a break. I hope you enjoyed. Little tiny inkling of Jily in this chapter. I am secretly calling this chapter "everyone asks too many damn questions"

Christmas is really close and I have a Fred and Hermione piece I'm working on for the holidays so this will probably only get one more chapter before the Holiday rush!

Hope you enjoyed. Let me know what you think in the reviews!
