Sirius bounced in his seat at lunch. It was becoming the slowest day of his life. No matter what he did he couldn't concentrate to save his life. After breakfast he tried to work on his potions paper with very little success. It was futile. The more the day went on, time seemed to stand still. Normally, weekends passed by in a flash bringing with it the dreaded beginning of the week, but this was ridiculous. If it was any other time this slowness might be favored, he wanted to see Snape.
"Hey, Sirius you okay?" Remus whispered slipping in the vacant spot next to him. James had wondered off after Lily again. No big surprise.
Sirius glanced at Remus and ran a hand through his hair. "Not really. I'm going crazy just sitting and I can't find anything that will occupy my attention for more than a few minutes."
"Do you want to play Wizards Chess with me?"
Sirius brightened he always loved a good game of Wizards Chess. "Sounds good to me. Let's go!"
Leaving the Great Hall led Sirius passed Snape who was carrying a huge stack of books probably from the library. It looked like he was headed for the dungeons. Sirius scanned the area and saw only a few lingering figures and deemed it safe to go to Snape.
He turned to Remus and touched his arm. "Hey, Remus I'll be up in a few minutes."
Remus looked up and spotted Snape, he smiled and nodded. "I understand. I'll set up the board, but I'm using your board."
"Okay, okay fair enough," Sirius said over his shoulder as he sprinted off to catch up to Snape.
He slid beside Snape and without a word gracefully snatched up the pile off books that was weighing him down. The pile practically touched the tip of his nose. "What do you think you're…Black?" Snape froze to the spot and studied Sirius through narrowed eyes.
"Come on this is a limited time offer. I don't carry books for just anyone," Sirius grinned over the tops of the books and started walking backwards to face a still stunned Snape.
Snape's eyes widened a fraction then narrowed and cut through Sirius more than he thought possible. Did I do something wrong? I thought we were making progress. "Nobody asked for your help." Sirius' grinned faltered. He thought Snape would be happy to see him. All he got was a scowl and Snape advancing on him trying to get his books back. Unfortunately Sirius stumbled over his feet, fell back and Snape collided with his body. Sirius tossed the books away and wrapped his arms around Snape making their bodies mold together like that's the way it was always suppose to be. A missing piece of the puzzle to make them whole. Snape hit his chest with a powerful impact sending them crashing to the floor, Sirius made sure to roll them over so he was on top, he didn't want any of the large heavy books to land on Snape. He did his best to protect him. One of the books landed with a loud thump on Sirius' back, he tried to with hold the groan of pain, but couldn't do it. Snape's eyes were closed, when he heard the thump they flew open with worry flashing across the charcoal colored orbs. It was quickly hidden when they made eye contact. He lifted himself up half way off of Snape supporting himself with his arms, but his back felt horrible, he could swear he could feel a bruise forming already. Snape just had to get the biggest and heaviest books in the library, didn't he? But Sirius smiled non-the- less at the idea. Snape peeked at him then let their eyes met again. Snape gazed at him with wonder.
"Are you all right?" Sirius asked lifting himself off a little more, but not getting off of Snape. The never ending black eyes drew him in and he wanted to be able to stare in those eyes a little longer. They paralyzed him some times when they were on him. He didn't have the ability to move then and he didn't have it now.
"Why did you protect me?" Snape asked not attempting to move out from under Sirius which made him elated. He was fine being on top of Snape, the warm body beneath him comforted him. No other body was able to do that.
"I didn't want you to get hurt," Sirius stated like it was the simplest idea in the world.
Sirius begrudgingly lifted himself off of Snape and offered his hand to the fallen boy. Snape hesitantly accepted the offered hand. Sirius hauled him to his feet; Snape ducked his head and began picking up his books. "This wouldn't have happened if you had given me back my books without a fight," Snape said, but with less bite than he usually had. Sirius noted that Snape's neck was red as a cherry. He stifled a chuckle, bent down to help, only taking half the load this time.
"If you say so. I'm glad it happened though," Sirius didn't allow Snape to comment like he obviously wanted to. "I love being pressed up against you." The wonderful heat radiating off of Snape's body was calling Sirius, like a moth to the flame, he kept himself under control.
"How can you say that with a straight face?" Snape flushed a deep crimson that could rival that of Gryffindor.
"Because it's true and I can't wait to be alone with you later on today."
"Then this is good bye, Black," Snape said as Sirius carefully piled on his half of the books.
"I'll see you this evening." Sirius turned around and started down the hall then went back to Snape and quickly hugged him from behind then made his way back to the common room to play the promised game of Wizard Chess all the while his thoughts ran around in circles trying to figure out what would happen that evening at the lake.
