Summary: Harry and Sirius live together after the war. Harry is pining for Sirius who had always been in love with James. Harry doesn't know how to proceed.
Author's Note: Unbetaed. I hope there are no grave errors. This will be chaptered probably because the ending now is kind of hanging. Things I do best Infidelity is used in the sense of 'lack of infidelity' like the character did not cheat.
“I can’t sleep.” Harry looked up from the kitchen counter he’d been staring at when Sirius joined him. He was trying to find the Firewhisky but settled for wine when his quest had been unsuccessful.
Sirius smiled at him and quickly looked away. Harry reckoned it was because he didn’t have a shirt on and even though he might have suspected it before, he was sure about it now; Sirius found him attractive. Scars and all.
“Do you know where the Firewhisky is?” Harry asked, turning to grab another wine glass for Sirius.
“We’re all out,” Sirius answered.
“You really need to stop drinking alone,” Harry said and picked up the wine bottle and gestured to Sirius who nodded in an affirmative. He then emptied out the content of the wine bottle in the two glasses.
“Your dad used to say that to me all the time,” Sirius replied and a pang of jealousy surged through Harry’s veins. It was no secret that Sirius used to have a thing for James Potter and that it was quite unrequited.
Harry had found his dad’s journals and even though Remus had casually mentioned in the past too - about how much Sirius used to like James - Harry had read all about it in his dad’s words. James was attracted to Sirius, very very attracted, but he was with Harry’s mum and he didn’t want to cheat on her.
Harry had respected that about him. He was happy that his dad had such high morals and even though he’d wanted to be with Sirius, he’d never made the move because of Lily. Of course, Sirius had no idea that his feelings weren’t unrequited and Harry could never bring himself to tell him that. He didn’t know if Sirius would have been happy or even more crushed. Maybe he would have regretted the whole thing and one thing Harry didn’t want was to make Sirius gloomier. Seeing Harry day in and day out - especially now after the war - was nothing but a reminder of what Sirius had lost. Knowing that it was something he could have had, even that glimmer of hope, Harry was too selfish to share. He wanted Sirius to want him for Harry and not as a second chance with James. He didn’t even know if that was even possible, but Harry reckoned that he could hope.
“My dad used to say a lot of things,” Harry blurted out as he handed Sirius the wine glass.
Sirius gave Harry a questioning look but didn’t respond. He took a sip of the wine and then headed out of the kitchen to the sitting room. “Will you join me?” he asked eventually and Harry followed. He wondered if he should have grabbed another bottle of the Merlot before sitting on the sofa next to Sirius.
“Bad dreams?” Harry asked when they had been quiet for too long.
“Yeah,” Sirius answered and took a big gulp of his drink. “You?”
“Same.” Harry followed suit and swallowed half the glass in one go. “Maybe you should look into some bed company. Perhaps the nightmares would simmer down a bit.”
Sirius chuckled. “Are you offering?”
Harry’d had enough wine in him to answer. “What if I was?” PART TWO
