Characters: Gryffindors and/or anyone friendly with the Marauders, even in passing, including friends of friends of friends...the more, the merrier!
Setting: Gryffindor common room, after dinner on Sunday, 31 October
Content: NSFW, likely, for mentions of drunken debauchery by underage witches and wizards. And probably also costumes that are, erm, less than proper.
Summary: It is Sirius Black's birthday, and you know what that means!

One of Sirius' favourite things about his birthday was that it was Halloween. Some people might have resented sharing their birthday with a holiday, but not Sirius. For him, the addition of Halloween just gave him an excuse to make his annual party even larger than it would have been already.

Once he had rolled out of bed midmorning, eaten brunch, and downed some hangover potion, he had spent at least a fair portion of the afternoon getting ready for the party. He went down to Hogsmeade one last time to pick up some treats from Honeydukes', then, along with the other Marauders, kicked everybody out of the common room and started work. They enlarged the room a bit with magic, pushed all the tables and chairs to the perimeter of the room, put up several magical and somewhat frightening decorations, asked the house-elves to send up some refreshments, and prepared their impressive store of alcohol. Sirius also sweet-talked the Fat Lady into letting any and all partygoers into the common room for the evening, regardless of password knowledge, except those who weren't wearing masks (since enchanted masks were his requirement of the year, after all).

Once everything was set, Sirius headed back up to his dormitory to change into his costume, then returned to the common room with his mates and waited for the partygoers to drift in as dinner finished.

[OOC note: As mentioned in a couple of entries, enchanted masks are the rule of the party! The Fat Lady won't let you in if you aren't wearing one! The deal with the masks is they've got a mild confundus charm on them, so the wearer won't be recognized, even if they normally would be. If someone has already told you who they are, or you know what they're wearing, then you will recognize them, but other than that, you don't know who anyone wearing a mask is!

Also, feel free to reply to this in multiple subthreads, just like at the ball. This is a big party, and it's not ALL about Sirius, much as he'd like to think so ;) Feel free to godmod Sirius as welcoming your characters, offering them drinks, etc, and if you want to include him in a thread, you don't need to ask me, just go right on ahead! I'd make location comments, but the common room's not really big enough. Let me know if you have any questions!]

Of course he noticed how close he sat by him, and his breath immediately hitched. Gideon had gotten a good sense of his scent when they were on the dance floor, but sitting there now, he could breathe it in with each intake of air. He liked it.

His heart was racing. Any doubt he felt about the situation, that he'd misinterpreted the other's advances, flew out the window they were sitting next to. It was confirmed in those words, but Gideon was skeptical. "I'm not a Slytherin," he said, but he still wasn't sure he was ready to give up his identity yet. He knew he ought to take this bloke's words with a grain of salt. Did he really fancy him? He was drunk, and didn't even know Gideon's name. But.. there was something there. A spark he'd felt almost instantly.

"I'm glad you told me," he said. "Means I wasn't just building this up in my head. Whatever 'this' is." He met the other's eyes behind the mask, and in such close quarters he could feel his breath against his face.

Emboldened by the success of his last confession, he decided to push the boundaries even further to see what else he could achieve.

He did not know why these feelings erupted from him, nor why they were so strong but even in the state he was in he knew that to fight them would leave him rapt with regret. He knew that a chance like this to explore would not come again lightly.

"Well, does that mean you fancy me too? Because if we both fancy each other, that makes each of us fancy people, and it is my belief that fancy people are allowed to...er...break the rules sometimes."

His pulse beat like he was flying -- a feeling he did not want to let go anytime soon. After the doldrums had set in for a brief second, to elicit a response he tagged on the end,

"What do you say?"

Gideon wasn't sure how to answer that question. Did he fancy him? Maybe. He didn't know who he was, or how well they did or did not know each other. All he had to go by was his instincts and what was transpiring between them in that very moment. He also supposed it depended on how they were defining what it meant to 'fancy' someone.

Given that they did not know each other's identities, Gideon could only assume he was asking if he fancied him based on what he knew alone. Fancying based on initial attraction, initial impressions. It wasn't exactly deep, but there was still potential for it to be meaningful. If nothing else, he would learn if this unexplored side of himself was real or if he was just a confused teenage boy.

"I... I reckon I do," he said. "At least, from what I know." He took another steadying breath, but it did nothing to slow down his rapid heart beat. "What rules were you intending to break?"

"I would only break those that forbade me"
He leaned in closer,
"from being able to kiss you. But we might want to go somewhere else. Wouldn't want to show up on the front page of the Prophet in the morning."

He smiled, but this time not in a way that was over the top and mischievous, but caring. He may not have known whom the other was, but he was not playing around. He needed this, and it meant a lot to Tiberius that the Roman would help him get it. He knew he was being extremely forward, an amount that much exceeded propriety. But he so desperately wanted something to happen before it was too late.

Gideon's heart was racing so fast, he was convinced it skipped a beat when the other boy mentioned kissing him and breaking any rules in place that might prevent it from happening. He was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond to that. But why? If a bird had come up to him and said such a thing, would he be hesitating so much? Probably, because that was just the way Gideon was.

He couldn't take him up to his bedroom. Clearly the other boy wanted to remain hidden from others and there was too great a risk of them being seen by one of his roommates (or for Merlin's sake, Fabian) coming back from the party. "There's an alcove, just outside the common room and down the stairs. Come with me." His heart still beating as fast as a hummingbird's wings, Gideon stood up and walked toward the portrait hole to leave the party behind.

Tiberius was very excited and very nervous. He followed the boy out of the common room. He was worried about people noticing them leave. He didn't even know where he was being taken. He assumed that the boy was not a Gryffindor -- that would explain the need for bravery. A flash of fear passed through his mind:what if this mystery man was a Hufflepuff as well -- what is it was Ed?! Then he remembered that he did in fact know where he was being taken, and then his fears departed him.

Once the Fat Lady had shut herself behind them, Tiberius looked to the boy with expectant eyes. Not demanding, but he was clearly forfeiting all authority and non-verbally let the boy know that he was in charge. Once they started walking down the stairs, Tiberius said,

"This is sort of exciting, huh?"

He grabbed the boy's hand as he was led towards his goal.

It was hard to believe that he was actually going through with this. The two had been skirting around actually doing anything, but now that the alcove was getting closer and closer it was becoming all the more real. When the other boy took his hand, Gideon hoped he wouldn't be able to tell how nervous he was.

"You could say that," he whispered in reply.

Exciting, yes. Intimidating, sure as hell. But a chance like this wasn't going to come up again soon, he knew, because it certainly hadn't presented itself to him up until then. He had to do this, and if he was being honest, he wanted to. It was alluring in its mystery, and exciting in its newness. It also just sort of.. felt right -- save for the drunk part.

Once they reached the secluded little corner, Gideon pulled on his Gryffindor bravery heartstrings and in turn pulled the other boy closer by the hand. His other hand, despite its timidness, found its way up to the other' shoulder, then came to rest at the back of his neck.

The time had come. It was now or never. Enough time had been wasted. He had wanted this for longer than he could remember, which may or may not mean much since he hardly remembered how he had even gotten to this point. All he had focused on was making this moment perfect. He was so close to this unknown boy. He could hear and feel his breath, he could smell the light dustings of cologne that the boy had put on to prepare for the night. When he felt the hand at the back of his neck, he needn't be asked twice. He closed the gap between them and placed a light kiss on the boy in front of him. In it he poured his frustrations and his happiness both, odd for the fact it was his first time, let alone with this boy. After he came up from it, he became insatiable. The kiss made his head whirl and feel free and new and so many more great things. He went back in, this time more aggressive to accommodate his passions.

It was then that he had remembered again the drama with Mia. He hadn't even kissed her yet! When he came up next, he hesitated a little, but decided this was more important to him. This was so easy. He hadn't had to fight with older brothers, he hadn't had to lose his friend. All he had to do was be here with this boy, and for the time being that is all he wanted and would do.

It really was now or never. Gideon had never been through so much build up for something in his life. Not even Quidditch tryouts or getting on the Hogwarts Express for the first time. There was no turning back now. He could feel the heat of the other boy's body, as he brushed his fingertips along the back of his neck and lightly through his hair.

When their lips met, he felt a rush of warmth spread through his body. Gideon had snogged before, and it wasn't that much different than snogging a girl, he realized. But it did feel bloody good. He returned the kiss, timid at first but with a rush of confidence the second time their lips met. His hand slid up in the back of the other boy's hair as he continued to kiss him.

He felt like a fool for questioning the legitimacy of this side of himself. It was undoubtedly real.

His instinctual drive was taking over, he knew this is what he wanted. As they were together, Tiberius could only feel his desire growing. Mia and Ed and Trish and Ro and Eddie had all left his mind. The only person who was worth anything to him at this very moment was the beautiful boy in front of him who smelled like perfection and from what he got, tasted like heaven. The warmth and the roughness of the boy was like nothing he had ever felt, as if he had just discovered Atlantis and that he knew he had to stay.

If Tiberius could have his way, he would prolong this magic moment for life. Everything was good, everything was easy, and most of all, he was happy. He never wanted to leave the alcove.

As his hands wandered the boy's body, he realized he was heading down a slippery slope. He hadn't ever been with anyone before, let alone a boy, and he was worried he would look like a fool. Swallowing his pride, he pulled out from this kiss and said,

"You are.....probably the best I've ever had. Not to say I've had loads before, you're actually my first...well, boy.....and I don't know what to do from here....that is, if you want to continue, or go further, or whatnot..."

He blushed, he was sobering by this point and had begun to notice how embarrassing he was acting.

Talking in these sorts of situations wasn't something Gideon was especially skilled at. He wasn't smooth in that way. He could chalk that up to inexperience. He'd only really dated two girls. What did one say after snogging a bloke for the first time? It felt good, better than he ever realized snogging could feel, but how did he say that?

His cheeks flushed when Tiberius said he was likely the best he'd ever had. "I've never kissed a bloke before either," he confessed. "But I've been thinking about it, wanting to, for a long time."

He was still lightly running his fingers through the other boy's hair. "Just keep kissing me," he whispered. He didn't want to talk. Talking made things complicated, and he didn't need complicated while he was tipsy.

Tiberius gladly obliged.

"I've wanted to as well. I'm glad it is with a you, as fit as you are. I think you're really hot, to be honest."

He went back in for the kiss. This was all he could have imagined, but he still wanted more. He didn't quite know the mechanics of what else happened after this. He wasn't sure how a man would fit into the equation with him, but he was sure interested and willing. His mind paused and worried he was moving too far too fast. He didn't even know his name, he didn't even know who he was, and he most certainly didn't know how to handle the situation the next night. He had seemingly forgotten about the aftermath. Instead of making the decision, he decided to ask his partner.

"This is fantastic, really it is, but...I was wondering if maybe you....maybe you wanted to try more? I think I'm really getting to like you."

Gideon didn't quite know what to say. He didn't know how exactly they ought to move forward, to try more, either. Having no prior experience, it was.. more than a little intimidating, but he supposed it was no more intimidating than when he'd been trying to move forward with a bird. At least with a bloke, he knew the anatomy he was touching and proceeding forward with.

There was also bafflement because Gideon had a hard time really knowing if what this other young man was saying was true. They'd snogged, and it had been nothing short of brilliant. But how could he say he liked him? They didn't even know each other beyond the physical presence of their bodies. What if Gideon was someone he hated in actuality? Though he didn't make it a habit to have enemies, he was not so naive to believe that everyone in the school liked him.

Most of what he said, Gideon knew, he ought to take with a grain of salt because the other boy was still drunk. Drunks often said things that weren't true. And it was because the other was drunk that Gideon knew things couldn't go any further. "Thing is, I.. I really.. like kissing you," he said. "But I wouldn't.. I mean, it wouldn't be right. You've had a lot to drink, and so have I. We should.. I need to get back to the party." He started to pull away. "Maybe fate will let us find each other again."
