Shy
Sirius Black was many things, but one thing that he wasn't, was shy. Sirius was usually an easy person to read, and his emotions were usually predictable.
For instance, everybody knew that whenever Sirius saw Severus Snape he would either become mischievous or he would become angry.
Everybody knew that whenever Sirius was hungry he would either become irritated or tired.
Everybody knew that whenever Sirius saw Remus he would either become over-the-top excited or, well… there was only one emotion for when he saw Remus.
But as Remus Lupin walked into the room, Sirius did not smile or jump up and down or run over to kiss him. No, Sirius sat and fidgeted. The graffiti on the desk in front of him had suddenly become very interesting.
"Sirius, are you feeling okay?" Remus asked, sitting down next to him. Sirius forced himself to look up at his boyfriend.
"Yeah, fine," Sirius murmured quietly, his face going red.
"I don't believe it," Remus said, grinning. "Sirius Black is shy!"
Sirius glanced up at Remus and scowled. "I am not."
"Then why can't you look me in the eye?" Remus challenged, raising an eyebrow. "You're shy and you're embarrassed about something. Go on, spit it out."
Sirius let out a nervous laugh and started fingering the etchings on the table. "Er, you know, I had… er… a dream last night," Sirius mumbled, trying to look Remus in the eye and failing miserably. "It was… about you."
Remus snapped his fingers in front of Sirius's face, making Sirius look at him. Sirius could see the playful smile on his boyfriend's face and he couldn't help smile back.
"What happened in the dream?"
Sirius cleared his throat. He had no idea why he was being so shy. This was Remus—Remus who was not only his partner, but his best friend.
"A s-sex dream," Sirius said in an attempt to sound uninterested that sounded more like a whine.
Remus raised both of his eyebrows this time and smirked. "A sex dream, huh? I didn't know you thought of me in that way. We've never discussed it."
"I just thought that you—you're a prefect—you didn't seem like you were interested…"
"Oh, Sirius," Remus muttered, biting softly on his lower lip. "I am very interested."
Sirius perked up at this. "You are?"
Remus nodded slowly and leaned back in his seat. "I am," he murmured in a low voice. "In fact, I'm so interested that I think we should do it right now."
Sirius swallowed and tried to stay calm. He was not feeling shy anymore—he was buzzing with desire.
"You. Me. Bed. Now," Sirius managed to get out.
"I thought you'd never ask," Remus said with a grin, as they headed up to the dormitory hand-in-hand.
