Song: Love Is A Bitch -TwoFeet

***

"Oh dear general," Sirius' fingers toys with his lapel. "That's what I am, pretty."

Remus acts like he's unbothered. No woman has ever wooed him off his duty. He won't let this man do it. Especially knowing he's the king's favoured one.

"I can-I have slipped into bigger rooms. Unseen and unheard because I'm pretty and not big and..

distracting."

Remus swallows thickly. He was supposed to bring water to Sirius' room and leave. Not be trapped between the stone walls and a venomous snake. Ever the gentleman, he fixes the falling silk on Sirius' shoulders.

"If you tell on me, I'll tell the king on you." Remus bluffs. There is no way he'll hurt him.

Sirius chuckles knowingly. "We both have the same knife over our heads. I'll help you if you help me. So, are we on the same side ?"

"We are."

Sirius stands on his tiptoes. His enticing perfume floats around Remus like a bubble. Before he makes sense of things, Sirius places a kiss on his cheek.

"Seal it with a kiss." The man winks.

Since that night, Remus couldn't take his mind of him. It's true what the rumours say. The king's favourite was exactly like a rose. Beautiful yet so dangerous.

Remus was glad they were working together and not against. Taking the king down would've been harder if Sirius was playing for the other side.

"He's losing money. I persuaded him to build another castle in the north. Maybe I'll get him to waste more and he'll be too broke to be king." Sirius laughs as he wiggles the giant diamond rings on his fingers.

The general sits on a stool by the marble bathtub in which Sirius was encased in bubbles. Remus flips through paperwork, careful not to accidentally dip them in bath water. Quietly, Sirius rests his chin on the rims, watching Remus do this thing.

"What ?"

Sirius shakes his head. "Nothing."

Remus sighs and looks at him. "Seriously, what ?"

"Come join me."

Remus knows this. It's a siren's call to poor seamen. It's Sirius using his beauty to tug on his sleeves, narrowly missing wetting the paper.

"You've worked all day general. Not to mention we have to celebrate our milestone."

"He hasn't fallen yet, we have nothing to celebrate." Remus says.

Sirius clicks his tongue. He pushes himself off, enough to snatch whatever kingdom business he's entrusted with out of Remus' hands and on the basin.

"Why are you so uptight all the time ?" Sirius asks, flopping his upper half across  his empty lap.

Remus quickly grabs a towel to cover his bottom half which was about to surface from the bubbles. He diverts his eyes instantly, back to the papers. A finger pulls his face to the man he'd love to see but is too afraid to.

"Come in, the water's warm."

Sirius sits by the rim with his face horribly close to Remus'. He's batting his eyelashes and swiping his tongue over his lips the way he knows works on weak men. Unfortunately, Remus is a weak man for Sirius.

He follows the rose petals and he's falling. Sirius laughs gleefully as Remus dunks face first in the water. He stops when the general gets out with wet brown hair stuck to his forehead and white linen shirt translucent.
