"lily, james is head over heals for you. please just go on one date with him and he might stop pestering me." i whined, gripping my books tighter. "no." she replied, shortly. i grumbled a series of profanities as we entered the defence against dark arts class. i noticed that james had a seat next to him and so did sirius, so made the decision to let lily sit with james for the two hour lesson. "well hello." sirius greeted, grinning at me. "where's remus?" i asked, slightly confused at the missing boy. "not too well, he stayed in bed." the dark haired boy chuckled from next to me, making me smile slightly.
it was the end of the lesson and the majority of the class had left by now, and i was just about to head out in an attempt to avoid the ear full i would get from lily about how much she hated james, when sirius stopped me. "yes?" i turned to him, confused. "walk with me? i don't wanna listen to james yap on about how in love he is." the boy grumbled. i nodded, as we exited the classroom, heading up the gryffindor common room. when we reached the common room i noticed sirius staring at me, his mouth slightly agape. "you done staring, black?" i chuckled at him, his cheeks turning a light shade of pink at my words. "i'm not staring." he replied, crossing his arms across his chest. i smirked at him. "you're cute when you blush." i grinned, before turning and leaving the boy shocked.
it was late and everyone had gone to bed by now, but i couldn't sleep. i found myself leaving the bedroom and making my way down to the common room with a book. this wasn't unusual for me, and so i curled up in the corner of the sofa, closest to the fire, opening my book. it hadn't been too long when i was disturbed by footsteps coming down the stairs from the boys dorms, however, i chose to keep my focus on the pages before me, until i felt the sofa dip next to me. i turned, my face being met with sirius, who was currently playing with a ring he wore all the time. "you okay?" i asked, closing my book and shuffling around so my body was now facing him instead. "can't sleep. you?" he asked, looking up. "same." i huffed, rubbing my eyes. i looked at him, and our eyes met for the first time since earlier on in the day, when i caught him staring at me. he said nothing, but instead placing a hand on my cheek and leant forward to connect our lips. i kissed him back, running my fingers through his hair, tugging on it every so often. i felt his hands slide down from my face to my waist where he hooked his hands under my thighs, lifting me onto his lap, never breaking the kiss. i licked his bottom lip, asking for entry, which the boy gladly granted me, our tongues now fighting for dominance. when we finally pulled away, i tugged on his lip slightly with my teeth, causing his eyes to widen and cheeks to flush again. i smiled at him, about to climb of his lap when his hands stopped my movement. "i think i'm falling for you, y/n." sirius admitted, looking down. i lifted his chin up to look at me. "i've already fallen." i whispered, planting my face in the crook of his neck.
