Telling sirius
James POV:
Ok, ok this is one of the best things ever. 6 month anniversary with the most gorgeous, fancy, prettiest person ever created (apart from me of course). No not Lily. Though I do have to keep pretending to be in love with her so no one will suspect I'm with someone else. Its got Sirius fooled, he genuinely thinks I'm in love with her and he thinks she's 'breaking' my heart when she says no. What a laugh. Mind you 2 years ago in was in love with her. He badly wants me in a relationship so me and his mystery date (which he wont tell me about) can go on a double date to hogsmeade . Things would probably change if he knew that I am dating someone. Its his brother. Regulus Black.
Okay focus James, what to wear, what to we- oh I know. Remus took us (meaning the marauders) shopping in muggle London over the summer. Regulus told me to wear something casual so I'm going to go mid way between fancy and casual. he probably only said to go for a casual look soo he can outshine me as always. Him and his fancy suits. Why does the man I love have to be one of THOSE rich people. Ok anyways, I'm going to wear a light blue sweatshirt, dark blue jeans and some black high-top converse. I'm going to get changed in the bathrooms just in case someone comes upstairs. after all I did just leave without saying anything. At least they wont be able to find me, as I did bring the map with me.
oh shit, some ones come in the dorm. I really hope they don't knock, or know I'm in here. Oh god the footsteps are getting closer. Please don't try come in.
"James why have you been in here for 30 minutes" Fuck, of course its Remus. Shit, think of an excuse. "I'm...uh shitting?" he'll definitely be onto me now. Of course I had to make it sound like more of a question than statement.
"Doesn't sound like it James. I can hear your heart racing and your no where near the toilet" fuck you Remus and your perfect hearing, why do you have to be a werewolf. "um, uh just washing my hands now"
"ok then hurry up I need to piss"
shit. shit. shit. he'll know somethings up when I walk out of here looking like this. I have to just walk out. But hell know I'm doing something, oh god I hope he doesn't question it. Ok lets go. I've opened the door and he's just staring at me. "prongs why are you dressed like that?"
"uh... no reason?" I probably look like a tomato right now. "have you got a date? who is it? well I think I know but I just wanna make sure I'm right, tell me I wont judge." I cant tell him, Reggie will kill me if he ever finds out that someone knows. "um... Evans"
"bullshit, Evans would rather go out with peter."
" little hurtful."
"prongs I wont tell Sirius, if your gay I don't care and if your with regulus I also don't care"
My mouth dropped open, how did he figure it out? say something, "Ummm, Uhhhh, Ummm " he looks so smug right now, I think I should tell him but Reg would kill me if he found out someone knows. But he already knows so I technically didn't tell him and Reg cant get mad.
"I knew it, prongs its alright, I promise I wont tell anyone." thank the gods. "if Reg found out someone knew he'd quite frankly kill me, please Remus you have to promise me you wont tell anyone, especially Sirius. He'd go mad and I don't know how he'll react to me being pan, I cant lose him. please Remus promise me"
"slow down James, he will probably be a lot more accepting than you think. and I promise I wont tell him."
"thank you moony, I better get going soon. cant miss any moment of today."
"why?"
"its our anniversary."
"really? how long have you guys been together?"
"6 months" I mumbled this in hopes he wouldn't hear me but you know moony. perfect hearing. "6 MONTHS, how on earth has Sirius not noticed you've been seeing someone"
"he's clueless"
"tell me about it"
" how did you figure it out anyway?"
"well every couple of days you're lips are bruised when you find your way back to us, at first I suspected lily, but then one day whilst you were gone I was studying with lily so it couldn't be her, and you always stare at the Slytherin table in regulus's direction. and I generally have the marauders map with me so I can see where you are."
"dam, I thought I was more careful than that, I always tried to be gone when lily was"
"well, you did your best, anyways you need to go and I need the bathroom so piss off"
"ok then moony, see you later"
Ok that was eventful. it feels kinda nice having someone know. how do I tell Reg though? I really hope he doesn't get mad especially on our anniversary. anyways, as I arrive at the astronomy tower I see a figure sat watching the stars. "hey Reg"
"James, your on time for once, amazing"
"well what can I say, it is our 6 month anniversary after all" why does he have to be so pretty. he is truly an amazing person. the best I could ask for, because well, I cant date myself. yes I am still extremely narcissistic, getting a boyfriend doesn't change that.
"james, why are you staring at me" he laughed, oh god that laugh is so cute. why is he so perfect. "because i think you are the prettiest and most handsome and amazingest man to exist"
"while i appreciate that, one, you are way better than me and two, amazingest isn't a word."
"well it should be, im going to put it in the dictionary and the definition will be regulus black."
"ok whatever james, just get over here" he pulled me in and kissed me. i love him so much. i broke us apart "i really love you regulus, nothing will ever change that"
"you promise?"
"of course, you are the amazingest after all" he laughed again omg its the best laugh in the history of laughs, its so cute. "james can i tell you something?"
"sure, i also have something to tell you, but you go first"
"ok, um so, right ok so i dont want this change how you feel about me but i fully understand if you feelings change, um so. i'm trans, i was born female and now im male." what do i say? think, think. what would remus say? "um, thank you for trusting me with that information, i still love you just as much, nothing will ever change that"
"thank you james, i love you too. Thanks for not making a big deal about it. anyways what did you want to say" shit how do i say this "ok so, please dont get mad but um, remuskindafiguredoutwearedating"
"sorry what did you say, that was too quick for me to understand"
"um ok, remus kinda figured out that we are dating"
"nice thats one less person to tell"
"wait your not mad"
"no i knew he'd figure it out eventually, was just a matter of when"
*date goes on*
"Hey James, I've had a thought"
"What is my love?"
"Well, since remus already knows and a couple of my friends know, we'll I was thinking maybe we could go public"
"Are you sure you're ready? You do realise sirius will freak out" oh god what's sirius going to say. Will he still be friends with me? Will he hate me?
"Yes I understand that this will be difficult. But I am ready. Are you ready? If your not it's fine it's just I don't want to hide anymore"
"I think I am ready. And I really love you reg. I don't want to hide anymore either"
I really don't deserve him. He deserves so much more than me. He's so sweet.
"James how many more times am I gonna catch you staring at me and at what point does it become creepy?"
"Oh sorry love, you're just so gorgeous. And sweet. And you are so lovely."
"James you have a way with words that makes me feel like I don't deserve you, if anyone you are the lovely one"
"You're right you don't deserve me, you deserve so much more"
He's just staring at me now and he's so pretty. I can't take it anymore. I grab his tie and pull him in. He gasps from shock but soon melts into the kiss.
"Wow ok"
"Sorry I just- well you were just sat there looking like that and well"
"I get it, sometimes it's difficult not to just make out with you.when do you want to tell sirius?"
"Um well I don't mind really. Tomorrow is a Saturday so, tomorrow?"
"Yeah tomorrow. I'll meet you here after breakfast and we'll head over to your dorm where your going to tell sirius, remus and if you want Peter to be"
"Wow you really planned this didn't you"
"Well I want you to keep your best friend. And I want my brother to be well, my brother again. I don't want to lose him again"
"You want lose him reggie. He will come to his senses after freaking out and see that we really do truly love each other and see that id never do anything to hurt you"
"Thank you. For everything james. I love you so much. I'm so grateful for the past 6 months and I'm grateful for the many months ahead of us"
I have no clue what to say. He's too perfect. I'm just going to kiss him.
"It's midnight so I need to head back. Barty and evans will think we are doing something different to this"
"Ok, goodbye reg. I will see you here tomorrow after breakfast"
*next day*
I'm so anxious for today but it's fine. Sirius will accept it... eventually. He's my best friend and if I'm really him best friend he will come around to it. God why did i have to become attracted to my best friends little brother.
"Hey earth to James, are you coming down to breakfast?"
"Ye ye, see you down there padfoot, wait moony can I talk to you really quick"
"Yeah sure, what do you want to talk about?"
"Me and reg are telling pads today and after breakfast I need you to bring him up to the dorms, not common room the dorms."
"Ye ye that's ok. are you sure your ready? I'm right here. Is regulus going to be here too?"
"Ye we are ready and he is. He's bound to find out eventually"
"I'm happy for you prongs. Now let's go down to breakfast"
"Thanks moony. I appreciate it"
"No problem"
We are walking to the hall in silence. Surprisingly comfortable silence. As I get in I look right over to the slytherin table. He's sat with his friends. I sit down and I'm still looking at him. He looks back at me giving me a reassuring look. I smile at him and grab my breakfast. Not in the mood to eat right now but I have to. Sirius will get curious.
Breakfast is now over and I've started heading to the astronomy tower.
As I arrive reg is pacing. I feel like doing the same but we cant. We have to do this now. Get it over and done with.
"Hey reg. stop please. It's making me even more anxious."
"Sorry, let's go now before I chicken out"
"Ok"
He starts walking out and I'm supposed to follow but I can't move.
"Reg wait. I love you ok. If this goes sideways just know I love you and will probably never stop"
"I love you too james, now let's get going come on. Do I need to drag you?"
"Maybe"
He takes my hand and literally starts dragging me down.
"Ok ok, I'll walk"
We start walking and im trying to think of what to say to padfoot. 'He pads im dating your brother' I can't exactly say that.
Before I know it we are outside the common room.
"Capup draconis"
As soon as we step in people start to notice and whisper about regulus. It is confusing. A slytherin in the gryffindor common room of all places. And even more confusing he's with me.
We enter the dorm and sirius snaps his eyes to regulus.
" what are you doing here little brother? And why are you with James"
"Pads I have something- we have something to tell you"
"Oh don't tell me to Your dating or something"
"Well Im sorry to disappoint you brother but we are, there you go. I've said it. Finally. I love him and he loves me. Nothing you do will stop that. If you have a problem with that you can suce ma bite"
(*suck my dick*)
"à quoi penses-tu? sortir avec mon meilleur ami. bien sûr j'ai un problème avec ça. tu es mon petit frère c'est mon meilleur ami. Je ne savais même pas que tu étais gay."
(* what are you thinking? going out with my best friend. of course I have a problem with that. you are my little brother he is my best friend. I didn't even know you were gay.*)
sirius is angry. Whenever he's like this he speaks in french. He's upset of course he is, it's understandable. I have no clue what they are saying. And I'm so glad regulus knew what to say. I would have just stood there stuttering for ten minutes.
"Sirius je sais que tu as quelque chose contre moi mais je l'aime. Je l'aime vraiment. il me traite bien. il s'en fiche que je sois trans. Il m'aime."
(* Sirius I know you have something against me but I love him. I really like. he treats me well. he doesn't care that I'm trans. He loves me.*)
"Je suis content qu'il te traite bien. mais c'est bizarre. mon frère baise mon meilleur ami. tu trouverais ça bizarre si je commençais à baiser evan"
(* I'm glad he treats you well. but it's weird. my brother fucks my best friend. you would think it weird if i started fucking evan*)
"nous n'avons pas encore baisé Sirius. c'est entièrement romantique. il respecte que je ne veux pas avoir de relations sexuelles. il est bon pour moi."
(*we haven't fucked Sirius yet. it is entirely romantic. he respects that I don't want to have sex. he is good for me*)
"cela va être difficile. très difficile à comprendre mais si vous vous aimez vraiment alors je vous donne ma bénédiction"
(* this is going to be difficult. very difficult to wrap my head around but, if you really love each other then i give you my blessing*)
"Thank you sirius. It means a lot to me."
He's smiling and he's grabbed my hand. So what they said must have been good. I'm very confused though.
"I have no clue what you were saying but I guess I appreciate it too"
"I'm sure regulus will tell you what was said later. I have one rule as of now. If you ever do. No shagging in here. And I don't want to hear about it"
That's fair I guess. Now I'm just smiling at reg and sirius. Grateful. Very grateful. I don't know what id do without either of the black brothers.
