Chapter Seventeen;
Sirius woke the next morning, looking around the bedroom. He glimpsed at his watch and released a yawn when he read 6:34AM. He turned on his side to pull Severus to himself and frowned when he felt nothing on the other side of the bed. He sat up and wiped his eyes out, looking around once again and smiling when he saw the bathroom light on. He morphed into Padfoot and padded over to the bathroom, scratching at the bottom of the door and whimpering. The door pushed open as it wasn't fully closed and he walked in, barking when he saw Severus lying in the bathtub.
Severus jumped up and glared, "Sirius!" he bellowed.
Sirius walked over towards the tub and turned around, lying on the ground and closing his eyes.
"I am not going to continue bathing with you laying on the floor like… a dog!" he yelled, pulling his curtains over to cover all but his head.
Sirius ignored him, releasing a snort and keeping his eyes closed.
Severus rolled his eyes and relaxed, leaning his head back against the wall and closing his eyes as well.
After a few minutes, Sirius' belly growled and he stood up to run out of the bathroom and towards the kitchens. He turned into his human form and looked around the kitchen for something to snack on, 'Hmm…' he hummed in his head as he grabbed a bag of chips and sniffed them, "Yuck, sour cream and cheese!" he repeated the words on the bag, pulling one of the orange chips out and examining it. It smelled okay, so he assumed it was and took a bite, coughing and tossing the bag onto the counter in disgust, 'How can Severus eat something that tastes like… that!'
He looked around more and sighed, everything he found needed to be cooked, and that was something he couldn't do. He decided to puppy eye Severus into maybe cooking him something, since he assumed as Severus had things in his kitchens that needed to be cooked, he could cook. He turned into Padfoot and walked back to the bathroom, stopping at the door when he heard an incoherent noise. He turned back into a human, pushing his ear to the door and turning a light shade of pink when he heard a moan.
He pushed the door open very slowly and poked his head inside; the curtains still covered the tub so he could only see Severus' head, his pale neck, and the upper part of his chest. He smirked when he saw Severus bite his bottom lip gently, eyes closed as he tried to concentrate on his 'task'. Sirius crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame, watching his lover. When Severus arched his body up, letting out a soft gasp, Sirius turned a bit redder, ignoring the tightening around his boxers.
"Nice show, love," Sirius complimented.
Severus jumped up, flushing in embarrassment and pulling the curtains the rest of the way forward, "H-how… Sirius! Get out!"
"I don't want to get out; if I sleep here every night will I get a show like that every morning?" Sirius asked as he grinned and grabbed a towel from the rack.
"Sirius… I'm warning you… get out…" Severus hissed.
"But… I want to help you dry off," he said in a pouting tone. "So get out of the tub."
Severus groaned as he pushed himself to stand up, poking his head out from the curtains and glaring at the grinning Sirius, "I'm going to kill you," he said in a serious tone.
"Yes, after we dry you off you can hex me into oblivion if you want," Sirius said as he spread the towel apart. Severus scowled as he stayed hidden behind the curtains. "Come on!" Sirius said impatiently as he walked over and pulled the curtains away, stepping into the tub and wrapping Severus in the towel.
"Black!" Severus bellowed as water splashed out of the tub and onto the floor.
Sirius laughed, placing a kiss to Severus' brow, "Much better," he replied as he began drying Severus off, "Now come on," he said as he stepped out of the tub, tugging at Severus to follow, smiling happily as Severus stepped out of the tub and followed Sirius into the bedroom.
Severus pulled away from Sirius and walked over to his wardrobe, wrapping the towel around his waist as he pulled his clothes out. "Get out so I can get dressed."
Sirius poked at some things on Severus' dresser, grinning, "I've seen you naked in the bath, and your face when you orgasm, and you're telling me I can't watch you get dressed?" Sirius asked. Severus stiffened, he was turned away from Sirius but he could tell his face was probably redder than a Weasley. Sirius sighed, "Sorry, I'll go now," he said before walking out of the room.
Sirius sat on the couch, staring at the fire he started, wondering if Severus would come out of his room and tell him to get out. When he heard the door open, he turned and smiled at Severus, who was now dressed in a long-sleeve green shirt and black pants. Severus glared, "What?"
"Uh," Sirius paused in his sentence, trying to think of something to say, then grinning, "Can you make me something to eat?" he asked in a pouting tone and giving his puppy eyes.
Severus blinked, rolling his eyes, "Stay out of my kitchen," he said as he walked into the kitchens and began fiddling with pans and shutting cabinets.
Sirius grinned when he sniffed the air and smelled pastries cooking. Sirius turned into Padfoot and walked into the kitchen, barking at Severus. Severus glared down, "You're more trouble than you're worth, mutt," he said. Sirius stuck his tongue out, panting and nudging at Severus legs. "Alright, alright. I have something for you," Severus said as he walked over and pulled open a cabinet, removing something, "Ready to see it?" he asked, Sirius barking in response. Severus put on the floor a bowl that had 'Mutt' written on it.
Sirius growled at the bowl as he morphed into his human form, "Oh, how hilarious."
"Yes, that's what I thought as well," Severus responded as he put a pastry on a plate and handed it to Sirius, "Here; now don't ask me for anything else for at least a week."
"Hmmmph," Sirius grunted as he took the plate and began eating.
After Sirius finished his food, he grinned up at Severus, "You know…"
Severus quirked his eyebrow, meeting eyes with Sirius then glaring, "Don't say it."
Sirius chuckled, putting the empty plate on the counter, "You'd make a perfect Mrs. Black one day."
"Black!" Severus bellowed as he pulled his wand out and chased Sirius out of his chambers, throwing hexes as Sirius ran down the halls and Severus walked in strides after him.
