"Sirius," Lia whispered into his ear, her hand lightly shaking his naked form.

She took a second to admire what was in front of her, loving the way his tattoo of her name stood out more than any of the other ones he had. She gently traced her finger over the script, unintentionally rousing him from the action as he swatted her hand away.

"Sunshine, that tickles," he groaned out, covering his body with the blanket.

Lia rolled her eyes, understanding that he was tired from his late night at work yesterday but wanting to take advantage of his day off.

"If you don't get up in ten seconds, I swear to Godric I will find Benjy and take him against the wall in this room," Lia threatened, throwing her nice persona away.

Sirius threw the blanket off him quickly, his eyes pining her with a glare.

"You're a wretched woman," he growled, "I hope you know that."

A smirk took over her face and she turned to grab the cuppa off their side table, handing it to him as she climbed into the bed to sit in front of him.

"Happy twentieth birthday, love," Lia voiced, her hand reaching behind his neck to pull him in for a quick kiss.

Sirius leaned into it, his one hand balancing the cup and his other gripping the side of her waist. She knew that he wanted to deepen it but pulled back after a few seconds, already missing the taste of his lips but wanting to enjoy his day.

Besides, he would get a good shag later and they both knew it.

She ignored his pout as she leaned over to grab her own cup, taking a sip and relishing in the heated liquid.

"Can you believe you're already twenty?" Lia asked with a grin, "I'm dating an old dog."

Sirius sent her a look as he sipped on his own cuppa, placing it down in his lap as he shifted so their faces were inches apart.

"Not old enough to have you moaning beneath me on this bed," he whispered to her, his face taking on a wolfish grin.

Lia swallowed a deep gulp, her body heating at his words but she pulled back with every pinch of restraint she had, hating herself for not taking him up on his offer.

"Well," she responded hastily, "I was hoping we could have breakfast together this morning, maybe a full English."

Sirius continued to grin at her, leaning back against their headboard as he responded, "if you wish, love, although I was hoping to have a different kind of breakfast."

She got up quickly at his words, hissing as the heated liquid splashed on her thighs and raced towards the door, shouting behind her, "you better be downstairs in five!"

She didn't miss the chuckle he released, racing down the stairs as she tried to fan away the blush on her face. Bastard knew exactly what to say to get his way and she made a mental note to get him back for getting her all hot knowing that she wouldn't allow anything to happen between the two of them.

She smiled at Mellie who was already in the kitchen making said breakfast and sat down at the table, knowing fully that Mellie would curse her if she even offered to help. She was still obsessed with Sirius and wanted to make sure he had the best birthday breakfast.

"Good morning, Mellie," Lia greeted, "you slept in today, how was your sleep?"

Mellie twirled around quickly on Lia; her wooden spoon raised in the air with a frown on her face.
