when the stars finally aline

chapter 5

"Peter?" Sirius asked quietly looking up at him.

"Yes, pads?" Peter asked back

"I..I..umm. I don't really know how to ask this question" He tells his best friend whilst stumbling a little bit on his feet. 

"You okay there buddy?" He questioned once more taking his friend's hand in his trying his best to steady him

"I.just" He tried. He was really trying to uphold the conversation and he needed answers but his mouth was betraying him, it was literally on the edge of his tongue 

"It's okay buddy, look come with me okay?" Peter suggested picking his best friend in his arms and guiding him into the room next door. One where it could just be him and Sirius. He did not want Sirius to be nervous about telling him anything and he wanted him to be comfortable when he did. But Pete knew one thing, he did not want to force his best friend to say anything. He would just be there when he needed him. 

"I can only tell you..it is a little weird or awkward. Oh gosh, what the hell is wrong with me?" Sirius questioned with tears brimming in his eyes. 

"Listen Sirius nothing is wrong with you and do not let anyone tell you otherwise not even your stupid lame ass excuse of a mother," Wormtail told him

Sirius just nods though tears were still running down his face slightly. 

"Do you find James attractive?" Sirius questioned suddenly 

This surprised Peter of course. This was not what he was expecting but never the less he wanted to be there for his friend. His slightly intoxicated friend.

"I mean..yes he is very attractive. I mean I am super lucky to have extremely attractive friends and to discover they are attractive is not a crime. Like, have you seen Mooney?" Peter told his friend 

"Oh yeah, Mooney. He is. He is well incredibly handsome and special. He is just perfect really." Sirius confirmed 

"But..If you mean have I ever wanted to do anything with James then that would be a no. Honestly, I am not fond of doing anything with anyone. Not really sure what is wrong with me, to be honest" Peter admitted 

"Nothing. Nothing is wrong with that. You are you and please don't ever change. You are the loyal, kindest, incredible friend. Gosh, words cannot describe the amount of love I have for you, and if you really do not that on any level then who cares? Not me. Not Mooney and not Prongs because we love you, Pete. You can't run now" Sirius laughs 

Peter's eyes just start to fill with tears also before he says "I love you too Pads" 

"But on a serious note if you like James like that no one will view you any different. You'll be the same old Padfoot we know and love. Forever and always." Peter reassures his friend 

"It isn't Prongs I am worried about" Padfoot mumbles into his shirt

"Where the bloody hell is he wormtail? This is the second night in a row!!" Padfoot screams 

"Calm down Padfoot he is probably just sleeping out again" Remus tried to reassure his friend 

"STAYING OUT AGAIN? WITH WHO MAY I ASK? TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW?" he shouted once more getting very close to Mooney 

Remus had a sneaky thought of where the boy was but that was not something he planned on telling Sirius. Well ever. It was honestly not his place to say anything because if he was with regulus again, Sirius would not take that well. 

"Well, maybe he just left for breakfast early or went out for quidditch. You know what he is like" Wormail tried to help Mooney 

"HE WOULD HAVE TOLD ME WORMTAIL. HE IS MY BEST FRIEND. WE TELL EACH OTHER EVERYTHING?!?!" he screamed once more getting more distressed by the minute.
