Sirius wasn't sure about this party. It was their seventh and final year, and James had suggested a Christmas party like no other in the Room of Requirement. Half the people staying for the holidays had been invited, and Sirius was still staying with James so he couldn't say he was going home as an excuse not to go. Things weren't at all awkward between him and James, which was a relief. It sounded like a lot of fun, Sirius had to admit that. The problem was that he knew James would come with Lily - it seemed the two were together now, and although Sirius didn't really mind, the thought didn't really put him in a party mood.

Remus wasn't really looking forward to the party either. It was close to the full moon, not close enough that they would need to worry about any kind of accident, but close enough that Remus was often moody and sullen. James had stressed that the event be a formal occasion. "It would please Lily" was what he told them at breakfast one day, and Sirius and Remus had glowered at him while they ordered new dress robes. Peter, on the other hand, always looked forward to a chance to meet girls so he didn't have a problem with the party at all.

I can't believe I'm doing this, Sirius thought, as he and Remus dressed in their dormitory. Remus was worrying over his new robes, thinking that the black made him look too pale. In Sirius's opinion, Remus actually looked really nice in his new robes.

"How long is this going to last?" Remus asked uncomfortably as they walked along the seventh floor corridor. He certainly wasn't enjoying this, but at least he was being a good sport about it.

"A few hours. More or less." Sirius grimaced as he walked into the Room of Requirement and saw the colorful decorations.

"Padfoot! Moony!" James yelled, then burst out laughing and hugged both of them. Sirius smiled, James had clearly already started drinking, and he hugged James back.

"This looks awful, Prongs," he added jokingly. "I suppose it was Lily's doing?"

James admitted with a smile that he had had problems controlling her when she decided to decorate the place. The door closed behind them and then they were all trapped inside the room. Immediately Sirius felt claustrophobic, and he sought out a drink. He was joined by the drinks table seconds later by Remus and Peter.

"Well, let's make the best of this, eh?" Peter said, finishing a glass in one drink and picking up another. Sirius and Remus mimicked him.

"Yeah, 'course," Remus said with a smile. Sirius drained his glass silently.

Sirius was in a concealed corridor outside the room rubbing awkwardly at his groin where he was trying to alleviate his raging hard on. Now he was really wishing he hadn't come to the stupid party purely for the reason why he needed to take care of this particular problem. There hadn't been a problem until he had seen James, Lily, Remus, and a few others over in a corner playing some game. It hadn't been James but rather Remus, looking extremely delicious in his new robes, that had caused Sirius to need to finish his drink in some privacy.

Sirius felt his release and leaned against the wall breathing hard. He hadn't thought of another person in that way since James, and even though he tried to convince himself that he no longer had feelings for James he thought that his resolve was wearing thin. Surely the fact that he was even trying so hard to convince himself in the first place was a sign that he did actually still feel the same way. Unfortunately, James clearly didn't. Walking around hand in hand with Lily, snogging her in corridors and in the common room when it was mostly empty…

Suddenly Sirius felt like he needed to find Remus. If for nothing else to at least prove to himself he could move on from James. He pulled the Marauder's Map out of his pocket and found that Remus wasn't far him, alone in his own empty corridor. Sirius tapped the map again and set off.

"Are you hiding?"

Remus jumped and looked over at the door that should have been hidden behind a tapestry. Sirius was standing there, smiling, his arms crossed over his chest.

Remus swallowed. "No. Just didn't feel like being around people anymore."

Sirius's eyes traveled over Remus and his smile grew slightly. "Then why not go back up to the common room, instead of sitting in here drinking alone?" He walked over to Remus, letting the tapestry fall into place behind him and leaned against the wall next to his friend.

Remus didn't answer, but shook his head and asked his own question. "What are you doing here?"

"I was looking for you, Moony."

"Why?"

"To see if you'd had enough to drink."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, if you hadn't had anything to drink you probably wouldn't let me do this…" And with that Sirius leaned in, placed his hands on both sides of Remus's face, and kissed him. He was thrilled when Remus moved closer, kissing him back and pushing Sirius's legs apart so he could settle himself in between them. Sirius groaned when Remus pulled him so close that his groin pressed into him, but then Remus started to pull away.

"Sirius, wait - "

"If you don't want this, just tell me to stop."

But Remus couldn't. He wanted this very much. Sirius took his silence for consent and pulled him close again.

Remus started kissing Sirius's jaw line, moving onto his neck. Then he ran his hands down Sirius's front. He grabbed a hold of Sirius's shirt and untucked it from his pants. Remus placed a hand on the back of Sirius's neck and pulled him into another kiss, while his other hand undid Sirius's pants and slipped inside. Sirius moaned into the kiss as Remus started stroking his shaft, slowly building momentum.

Remus was fully enjoying himself, feeling his own hard on coming on strong. He broke away from Sirius's mouth to start kissing his neck, his shoulders, pausing to nibble at his collarbone, and then pushing up Sirius's shirt to kiss his stomach. Sirius's eyes were closed throughout all of it, his arms resting lightly on Remus's shoulders as Remus knelt down. Suddenly he felt cold air below his waist and his arms tensed as he grasped Remus's shoulders and looked down. Remus had pulled Sirius's pants down just a little and he was currently kissing his pleasure trail, slowly making his way towards Sirius's hard cock. Sirius closed his eyes again and waited patiently, but not unhappily, for Remus to get there.

However, Remus had lost his patience. Sirius, his eyes still closed, frowned slightly when he felt the pressure of Remus's hand leave, then he gasped aloud as Remus took him in his mouth. Remus started bobbing up and down, keeping the pace with which his hand had left. Sirius tilted his head back and gripped Remus's hair because he felt like he needed to hold on to something. He felt the pressure start to build, and although Remus was picking up speed, Sirius didn't think it was going to be fast enough. It was close to torture, yet it was blissful pleasure. His back started to arch. He needed to release, and soon.

"Remus…soon…" Was all he could manage. Remus laughed a little, and the vibration Sirius felt was insane. He reached out one hand to grip the wall and the other was still placed behind Remus's head. Remus could feel Sirius throbbing in his mouth and knew that he was close to coming, but he wanted to make this last. When he gave it a second thought, he realized they were in a corridor that wasn't exactly a secret, and although most people were at the party there was nothing stopping someone from walking in at any moment. The thought made Remus groan, which then caused Sirius to whine, "Oh…god…" and Remus felt Sirius explode in his mouth. Remus swallowed everything, licking everywhere to get any he had missed, and when he looked up he saw Sirius gazing at him.

Remus stood up and kissed Sirius, then asked, "How was that, Padfoot?"

"Wow," was the only thing Sirius was capable of saying, because at that moment he realized he had been imaging James the whole time. He slowly reached down to tuck his shirt back in when Remus grabbed his hands and stopped him.

"Hold on, I'm not done with you yet."

"Huh?" Sirius asked, still a little dazed.

Remus smiled and leaned in to whisper in Sirius's ear, "I'm bored with this party. Meet me in the dormitory in a couple minutes?" He pulled away and added, "Don't worry about your clothes, no one will notice and you won't be in them for long." He winked and started towards the tapestry. Before he opened it he said, "And just for the record, I would have done that even if I hadn't had anything to drink." And he left.

Sirius waited a couple minutes, going back to the Room of Requirement only to help himself to another drink. No one looked twice at him, and he made his way up to the dormitory. He opened the door and closed it softly behind him, tapping the knob with his wand and locking it. Remus was sitting on Sirius's bed, grinning at him.

Sirius smiled back. "Hey Moony," he said.
