Title: Before School Begins Author: littleblackbow Rating: PG-13 Pairing: Remus/Severus/Sirius Kink(s): kissing, talk of sex Challenge: LMOM 2011 Word count: 645 Summary: Sirius isn't looking forward to Severus going back to Hogwarts. Severus finds this a little difficult to believe.
“I’m going to miss you when you’re gone.” Sirius stood, staring out the window of the top floor bedroom at 12 Grimmauld Place.
Severus stood next to him with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall. Remus was still asleep in the bed behind them. “Somehow, I’m sure you’ll get over it.”
Sirius scowled at that. “You don’t know anything, Severus.” He turned and moved over to the other side of Severus. “I don’t understand how you can say something like that after the past two months of--”
“Of sex? I hope you don’t expect me to believe that you consider sex and love to be interchangeable.”
“No, Severus, I don’t.” Sirius reached down and took Severus’s hand. He brought it up to his mouth and kissed it. “But I will miss you when you go back to school. And before you say something else, it isn’t the sex that I’ll miss, it’s you.” He let Severus’s hand go and went back to the bed. “We both will.” He kissed Remus’s temple, then turned and headed out the door. “I’ll go make breakfast.”
Severus stood there for a few moments, just watching the doorway where Sirius exited. Something about what he said felt off. Why would Sirius miss him? Wouldn’t he be thrilled to have Remus to himself?
“Unless he--” Severus didn’t want to finish his own thought.
He was grateful for the interruption when Remus stirred and pushed himself up from the bed. “Now, why am I alone this morning? Last night the two of you couldn’t seem to get enough, and now...” Severus sat down at the foot of the bed and leaned against the post. “What’s the matter, Severus?”
Severus thought for a long moment and then sighed. “Do you think Sirius might hold some affection toward me?”
“Are you asking if he loves you? I’m sure he does.” He got out of bed and searched around the floor for his underpants. “He’s been letting you fuck him for two weeks now. He doesn’t do that unless he really cares about a person.”
“That,” Severus said, crossing his arms, “is very juvenile.”
Remus shrugged. “Sometimes he is. That’s Sirius. He’s as adult as he needs to be, and not a bit more.” He pulled on his pants and started looking for his trousers. “Maybe that’s why we love him.”
“You love him.”
“We love him.” Remus found his trousers twisted up in the sheets. He pulled them on and then scooted down to sit next to Severus. “I’ve seen the way you look at him. Maybe you don’t love him as much as you love me, but I can tell you have grown to care for him a lot.”
“I think you’re exaggerating. Or perhaps all of this affection directed toward you has clouded your judgment?” Severus wrapped his arm around Remus and pulled him closer.
“I think my judgment is just fine.” Remus leaned in and kissed Severus. Over the past two months, there had only been a few days when the two of them could be alone together. At first, Severus was a little irritated that he couldn’t seem to get any time alone with Remus, but after a few weeks of the three of them together, he’d grown used to the arrangement, and now it actually seemed strange not to have him there.
Apparently, Remus thought the same way. “By the way, where is he?”
“Making breakfast.”
“Oh, no.” Remus muttered. He pulled away from Severus and frantically ran for his slippers. “We’ve got to stop him.”
“Is he such a bad cook?” Severus asked with a quirked eyebrow.
“In the kitchen, Sirius is worse than Neville Longbottom in your potions class.”
Severus’s eyes widened in a look of shock. He made it out the door before Remus could find his other slipper.
