James gave up trying to stop Sirius’ hands roving and scrabbled for his pocked, then jammed the tip of his wand into Sirius’ cheek. “Get. Off.”
Sirius stilled instantly. “Uh…”
“I’m not being funny, but if you value your looks you should get your hand off my crotch.” The hand obliged. James pointed his wand away, jaw still clenched.
Sirius eased back slightly, looking more lost and forlorn than he had when he’d run away from home.
The fire’s crackle was the only sound for several moments. It bullied James into speaking, though he hardly knew what could be said that would make any of this all right. “Look. If I were, I don’t know, put together differently, or if you were, I’d be all over you.” Dark eyes snapped onto his, confusion and hurt still making them clouded. “I can see how you have more girls after you than there are after me. I mean, you’re good looking. But, more than that. It’s your personality. You’re the most amazing person I’ve met in my life. I don’t know how to be without you. And, if I could, I would be as much yours as anyone can belong to another person. I don’t know if that makes any sense, but… fuck. I’m making this worse. I am less gay than… than Lily’s sister is a wizard!”
Sirius blinked. “Hm. Thought it was worth a try. Peter’s gonna win that stupid bet, then.” With a lot less reluctance than James had been braced for, Sirius rolled off him to sprawl on the hearthrug.
“Bet?” he echoed.
Sirius hummed again. “I said I could get in anyone’s knickers. He said I couldn’t get in yours. If your jeans were an inch looser…” He sighed. “Little prat’s going to gloat for a week.”
