I love the James Lives Series:

Rebuilding

First Date

Wooing Sirius Black

The first part is Lily dying and Sirius helping James through it. And James discovering he's got feelings. The second is their first date and the third is Sirius & James dating and struggling along the way.

So the next section doesn't have a name yet, but it picks up six months after WSB on their anniversary.

***

James smiles as he and Sirius sit across from each other for their anniversary dinner.  In the last six months things had been nothing short of perfect.  He and Sirius spent every day together raising their son and just enjoying each other.  Their home is a perfect display of their little family and they’ve never been happier.  

         “I love that smile,” Sirius grins.  

         “I love you.”

         “I love you, too.”

         “What do you think of our date so far?” James asks.  Knowing how much Sirius loved nature, James had taken him to the Redgrave and Lopham Fen National Nature Reserve where they got to walk through the nature and enjoy just being outside together.  

         Despite James’ reserves, they had even joined the animals in the preserve for a bit as Padfoot and Prongs, and honestly, it made him a little nostalgic, but not enough that he’d be Prongs if he could avoid it.  It’d just been a treat for Sirius for their anniversary.  

         “I’m loving it – I love spending time with you.  Anything we do together is always brilliant.”

         “Hmm-mm, I agree,” James smiles.  “Although I’m quite happy that you let me plan this date since I know you like to plan the big event dates.”

         Sirius grins, “Well, I got to plan this morning’s activities and tonight’s activities, it’s only fair to let you do the middle.”

         James blushes as he thinks about waking up to Sirius sucking him off (only it was just a tease), he got him just to the edge before stopping and telling him that he’d enjoy buggering him in the shower instead.  His arse was pleasantly sore, and he’d delighted in letting Sirius dress him in his favorite pair of lingerie (Sirius hasn’t let a day go by without choosing James’ underwear and James loves it) afterwards before having breakfast with Harry and then dropping him off with Spencer and Evan to play with Alex.

         “Yes, well, I do look forward to that – I love when you make those plans,” James agrees, shifting slightly as he reaches into his bag for a couple of presents.  “But I do believe that we agreed to do presents at dinner.  Er – one of these isn’t exactly romantic in nature, but I think you’ll like it.”

         Sirius accepts the gift hesitantly.  “Er – alright.”

         “Go on, open it.”

         Sirius opens the box to see a brochure for the local university, and two books on A levels and GCSEs (the muggle tests that Sirius obviously hadn’t taken).  “I – I don’t understand.”

         James clears his throat.  “You and Spencer have spent almost every ‘mummy and me’ class talking about his research and being a professor at the university.  It seems pretty obvious to me that you really want to go back to school – study something new, maybe get into research and become a professor.”

         Sirius looks down at the books and back up at James.  “Oh, love, this is – are you sure you’d be okay with that?  We barely spend any time apart.”

         James smiles, as he reaches across the table to grab his hand.  “Si, you’ve been a light in my life for the last almost three years.  You gave up your career to be by my side and help me raise our son, I can’t ever explain how much you mean to me, and I know that you don’t want to go back to the aurors, but I also know that you do still have that curiosity and desire for adventure.  Since I’m more than happy to be a stay-at-home dad, and I can handle time without you now, I wanted to give you the opportunity to – to follow a new dream because I love you.”

         “I love you, too,” Sirius says, kissing the knuckles on his hand.  “And I – I love this so much.  If you’re sure, I would like to – to look at other opportunities.  All of Spencer’s research has been delightful and I’ve been very interested in learning more or doing my own and maybe being an astronomy professor – I still love the stars despite my family’s efforts to destroy that interest by making it a ‘Black thing’.”

         “I’m okay with it.  I want you to live your life to the fullest and do whatever you fancy.”

         “Especially if that fancy leads me to doing you,” Sirius teases.  

         James chuckles, “Now who’s only thinking about our fun together?”

         Sirius laughs.  “You aren’t complaining, are you?”

         “Not at all.”
