Remus gave this lollipop to James as a joke but James was damn proud and he sucked the candy, tongue twirling around sensually when Sirius arrived.

Before that, he would literally roll his eyes in his own mind every time someone called him “Black”. But now, whenever he hears people call him by his new last name, all he feels is a tremendous sense of happiness and a warmth in his heart.

At first, their fellow Aurors aren’t used to his new surname and occasionally call him “Black” or “Sirius Black” by accident.

Every time that happens, James and Sirius say in unison, loud and sweet:

July, day 18 - Sorrow

Sirius drows his sorrows in James' plump chest

Regulus spent years siding with the people who hurt Sirius most. That’s not something James can simply overlook.

"We're basically soulmates, aren't we?" James asked the ceiling.

"Obviously," Sirius agreed lazily. He was sprawled on his back on the carpet of James's bedroom, tossing a Galleon in the air and catching it.

"Do you think..." James hesitated, shifting on his mattress and hanging his upper body off the edge so he could look down at Sirius upside down. "Do you think if one of us had been a girl, we'd have ended up together?"

Sirius caught the coin and closed his fingers around it, letting his hand rest on his chest. He didn't hesitate. "Yeah."

"Yeah?"

"I'd definitely want to be the girl, though."

James snorted, grinning. "Why's that?"

Sirius stopped moving. He looked up, meeting James's upside-down gaze. He is so beautiful, James couldn't help but think.

"Because I wouldn't want you to be any different."

James's smile faltered. He searched Sirius's face for the grin that usually followed one of his ridiculous comments, but it never came. Instead, there was only that unwavering look in his grey eyes, so open and certain that James felt something inside him shift.

"Sirius," James managed to mumble.

Sirius pushed himself up off the floor and flopped onto the bed beside him, as if he hadn't just turned James's world upside down.

"Anyway," he said. "Move over."

Thanks so much! :)

~~~ And I'm actually kind of writing a fix-it story too at this time. How fitting I get this result. I would tag the fic as a fix-it although maybe others would disagree. *hides* It's complicated. 🥹

Can't I'm surprised.
