Next chapter...LEMON!!!! WOOHOO!!!!
James was tired, physically and emotionally. The hours spent in Frank's office kept repeating in his head. All he wanted was to surl up next to Sirius and sleep until the trial. Maybe Minerva would grade the sixth year's homework.
Sighing, he finally finished climbing the last flight of stairs leading to his room. Hopefully Albus hadn't dropped by and given Harry too much candy. The old coot was always more than happy to give the boy enough to keep him hyper for days on end.
The portrait guarding his rooms asked for the password. Rolling his eyes, James grinned.
"Seriously, I'm Sirius."
"Really, dearie, that password is enough to give someone a headache."
James laughed. "I know."
"Sirius!"
"What?"
James spun around, glaring at the entrance. "Where have you been? Where's Harry?"
"Calm down. I just got back from Albus's office. Harry's spending the night with him." Strong arms wrapped around James's waist. "Just calm down."
James sighed (he seemed to be doing that a lot lately) and leaned into his boyfriend. "Sorry." He nuzzled Sirius's neck, practically purring when lips pressed against his forehead.
"There should be some food on the table. Did you eat anything today?"
"No."
"Hungry?"
"No."
"You're impossible."
"Occasionally."
Sirius laughed and scooped the other man up in his arms. He headed towards James's bedroom, ready to toss the man into bed. James apparently had his own plans. He wriggled free and opened his closet, rooting around until he found what he was looking for. Taking a deep breath, he turned around and walked back to the bed, carefully placing the lube on the side table.
"Siri?"
Sirius moved to stand beside him, managing to croak out a husky "Yes?"
"Love me?"
Lips brushed against each other softly, slowly.
"Always."
