Characters: Sirius, Gaius
Summary: Gaius finds himself in a sticky situation - and not in the good, fun way

"What in the bloody HELL?"

Gaius Blank was not a man who used profanity very often, but in this case he felt it was completely justified. The sight of furry black ears peeping out from the strands of his dark hair certainly seemed to rate at least a moderate epithet.

His hands flew to his head, feeling at the fur-covered flesh, and he winced as a pinch assured him they were real, not some joke Sirius had played by putting fake ones on his head while he slept. He'd not even noticed until he'd stumbled into the loo and, bleary-eyed, looked into the mirror. Normally he woke up feeling rested and refreshed, but on this morning he felt, quite literally, like something the cat had dragged in. From the look of it, he probably was.

He frowned, taking a quick mental inventory of his body and realizing Other Things Were Amiss. His naked torso appeared fine, but as he pulled away the waistband of his pyjama bottoms, revealing black fur rather than hair, he knew it was going to be bad. He stripped off the fabric (red silk, a gift from Sirius for Valentine's Day) and stepped back to look in the full length mirror, giving a heartfelt groan as the full extent of his problem became apparent.

From the waist down he was completely covered in a soft, black pelt that would have made several Schattens. He moved experimentally, relieved to see that his limbs were human to at least first order, despite the fur. But the base of his spine had sprouted a long, thick tail, which twitched much as his Animagus form's would have with the degree of his distress.

Nothing like this had ever happened to him before, but he calmed himself, drawing in a deep breath and trying to will himself back fully human.

Nothing changed.

Heart beating a bit faster, he tried again, and again. Then he tried to will himself fully feline, but again there was no change.

Truly distressed, he ran back into the bedroom, fumbling his clock and a bottle of lube off of the bedside table as he scrambled for his wand. He tried the spell to reverse the animagus form, but even though he could feel a surge of magic, nothing happened.

"Sirius!" he gasped, leaning over to nudge his sleeping lover's shoulder. "Help! I'm stuck!"

	"I don't know either!" Gaius sighed, and his tail twitched faster. "How am I supposed to teach like this?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sirius smiled wickedly. "You could call in sick and stay home," he suggested, tugging at Gaius a little. "You can't top, though," he warned. "I'm not going to risk any other little feline features." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh..." Gaius flushed and squirmed a bit, half-tempted by the suggestion and even more so by the curve of Sirius' lips. He followed the direction of Sirius' tug, curling against Sirius' body. "As much as I would like to, Minerva would have my other little feline features cut off, stuffed, and mounted on her desk if I did that today - there's a Quidditch match and I promised to shepherd the Ravenclaw first years." He trailed one hand over Sirius' chest. "Later, perhaps? Although I have to say that I'm hoping this will go away sooner rather than later!"

"But consider the possibilities of a tail!" Sirius protested, curling his wrist over and under the feature in question, twisting it into a spiral.

"Ah well. If you must go into school, you'd better wear a hat." He laughed. "And be glad you have robes! Imagine trying to hide that in trousers." He shifted over to study Gaius with a performer's eye, although he kept a hand on the juncture of skin and fur. "Hm. If you're not very certain of your ability to control your emotions, you might want to bind it."

	"Oh, Merlin, trousers would be impossible!" Gaius gave a heartfelt groan. "But binding it seems... I don't know. Against my feline nature?" He twitched his tail, his smile becoming playful. "Perhaps there could be advantages to his after all. We'll have to explore the possibilities." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Mm." It was delightful to see Gaius smile, especially a smile with that touch of promise to it. "If your condition persists, I'll try to make it bearable." The tip of his tongue traced a quick path to his lover's ear. "And if not," he whispered, "perhaps you should look up spells for tails. Someone must have wanted one badly enough."

A shiver ran down Gaius' spine at the sultry tone of Sirius' voice and the warm brush of his lover's tongue against the sensitive shell of his ear. "Mmm... yes, I do believe you're right," he murmured huskily. Turning his head, he nuzzled against Sirius' neck. "And you make everything bearable, Liebling. More than bearable, in fact - now I almost wouldn't mind being stuck this way for a bit."

Sirius stretched his head over to brush his face against his lover's hair. Gaius had to go to work? Damn.

"Oh good," he murmured. "I like to please you." He returned to a real kiss, lingering over it a minute before pulling back just enough to talk, his breath reflecting off of swollen lips. "Love you in all your forms --" His mouth made another quick foray against those dark lips. "-- and moods --" And another. "Just love you."

Feeling as though he were melting on the inside, Gaius wrapped his arms around Sirius, holding him tightly. "And I love you," he replied, returning the kisses with tender abandon. "This is where you belong, right here in my arms."

Pulling back, he gave a positively sultry smile, then licked his lips. "I can't miss work completely, but... I do believe I could be late. I'm certain that if I show Minerva my condition she'd understand a bit of a delay." He gave a wicked chuckle. "I might even legitimately be able to show her a piece of tail she'd be interested in for once."

"Very confident of your status with her, aren't you?" Sirius said, but he settled agreeably back into the pillows. "Well then. Having attempted the logical resolutions, you decided to go through some relaxation exercises and try again. You may not even be too late if you Floo to her office."

With an exploratory touch, he ran a hand down one fur-covered leg. "How odd. I feel like I have yet to undress you. Don't know that I've ever seen fur trousers, though."

"Alas, these aren't removable for the moment," Gaius replied. He grinned, falling backward on the bed and pulling Sirius down on top of him. His tail caressed lightly down Sirius' back. "I'd rather give you a piece of my tail than show it to Minerva, anyway."

Chuckling, he pulled Sirius down for a deep, lingering kiss, deciding that if one were to be in a sticky situation, there were far worse things than having a lover like Sirius to help point out the hidden benefits.
