Happy Friday! Hope you like it!

***

Sirius isn’t always… well, he has had a bit of a rough time of late, so when Kingsley opts to surprise him with a trip out of the house, he’s not sure what to expect.  

Somehow, he didn’t expect this.

They’re in some forest somewhere.  He’s not sure where, but far away from Grimmauld place – his most hated place and he spent years in Azkaban.

“Er, what’s going on?  You’re not going to sacrifice me on some pyre, are you?”

Kingsley laughs.  “What kind of boyfriend would I be if I lit my boyfriend on fire?”

“Boyfriends?” Sirius blinks.  Sure, they’ve been sleeping together but who would want to date an on-the-run innocent felon?  

Kingsley gives him a look as if trying to determine if he’s joking.  

“Come on, Sirius, I know I can’t take you out on a date, but I thought – don’t you wanna be my boyfriend?”

“Of course I do, but why would you want to date me?”

Kingsley brightens at the assurance.  “Because I happen to think that you’re an amazing man given a terrible hand at life,” and then, he lowers his voice and whispers, “And you’re pretty talented with your tongue.”

Sirius bursts out laughing, but the assurance is successful.  “Alright, then, boyfriend – what are we doing here?”

“We are going to frolic.”

Before Sirius can question what the hell he means, he surprises Sirius by turning into a lynx and pouncing away.  

Getting the suggestion, Sirius turns into Padfoot and chases after him. 

It’s a relief to run and frolic with Kingsley this way.  To try and catch him.  

Running through the forest, weaving through the trees as he follows after him until they reach a bed of wildflowers.

Sirius finally catches him and they roll around struggling for who’s on top for a few minutes before Kingsley’s lynx finally pins him down and within an eyelock, they both transform, breathing heavy and Sirius is having a moment of realization that although his life largely sucks – he has this.  He has Kingsley, a boyfriend, that went out of his way to make him happy even for a few minutes when he was being sour about not getting to visit with Harry in Hogsmeade, and that’s … something. 

Something that’s happy for him to hold onto and he’s so damn lucky to have that.

“You’re the best,” he admits staring up at his boyfriend.  

Kingsley leans down and whispers, “I know,” before he licks his nose (rather than give him a kiss he’d been expecting) and then jumping off while Sirius is still confused.  Turning back into his lynx form and running off.

“OI!  I’m going to get you back for that!” Sirius yells before turning back into Padfoot and chasing after him.

It’s definitely his best day in a while and it’s all due to best boyfriend ever.  

Luckiest SOB ever.  

A tough one right out of the gate huh? I’m not that great with descriptions apparently. But here’s a few I found poking through my AO3. Some of this is NSFW

“The Broken Hearted” - Buck & Bobby - 911

Bobby’s heart nearly falls through his stomach when he hears the person on the other side of the phone telling him that Buck was in the emergency room because he cut himself.  His heart would break in two if he lost Buck forever. 

279 Bet 2 - James/Sirius - HP

Sirius used to be so easy.  One hint of a possible kiss or more and he’d be like putty in James’ hands, now though, he just accepts the affection, but doesn’t lean into it or act like he wants more. 

Love of the Sea - James/Sirius - HP

James couldn’t help searching for the merman once he’d heard about him, and it wasn’t hard to find him.  The tank and accommodations were much bigger than he imagined when he went searching, but he’s glad for it, even when he spies the most gorgeous merman that he’s ever seen laying on a rock under the water. 

His long dark blue hair floating behind him as he leans up on one side, propped up on an elbow.  His eyes are closed as he let’s his free hand wander over his chiseled chest to the scales that would cover his dick and begins stroking. 

Could mermen wank? 

James had assumed that they couldn’t, but watching this it certainly seems like he is wanking or at least stroking himself to some sort of pleasure. 

Although he’s under the water and therefore no sounds escape, the bubbles coming from his mouth certainly seem to indicate a moan. 

James had never considered that he could be attracted to a merman in anyway – the scales and whatnot just hadn’t been for him, but as the merman opens his eyes, locks them on James’ eyes, and lets out both some sort of moan and fluid from the area, James flushes and looks down to note that he’s terribly hard. 
He glances up again to see the gorgeous merman wink before he turns and rushes out the door.

Tipsy Kissing - James/Sirius/Lily - HP

James is at a loss of what to say, especially when Sirius and Lily both kiss his cheeks and then, Lily helps turn his face towards Sirius and his lips are connected with Sirius’ and they taste like whiskey and watermelon.  It ends before James can really lean into it, and he starts to realize that he just had his first kiss with Sirius when Sirius directs his face towards Lily, who kisses him, too.

Her lips are soft, and she tastes like cherries, but just like the kiss with Sirius, it’s short and sweet.  She pulls back and before James could register any words to ask what the hell was going on, Sirius, still on his lap, leans forward and kisses Lily. 

Seeing the two of them kissing with Sirius’ arse on his lap has James hardening slightly.  Only his confusion stops him from inviting them both upstairs. 

Lingerie Games - Alex/Henry - RWRB

Alex is rather embarrassed to admit to Nora that not only did Henry love the lacy lingerie that Nora had insisted on for his part of the bet, but that the look in his eyes made Alex be interested in more lingerie.  It’s embarrassing to admit that, but there’s just something about that look in Henry’s eyes that has him wanting to wear more… for Henry. 

Just Henry. 

Not for himself… at all. 

Definitely not. 

He’d do anything just to see the look in Henry’s eyes, especially since it’ll be a while before they can see each other, again, and he finally convinced Henry to download snapchat. 

Sadly, Henry only sends him fully clothed thirst traps, so Alex figures… maybe if he wore lingerie again, Henry might… you know… send something better. 

Maybe what Alex actually wants to see.

Sailing to Freedom - Alex/Henry - RWRB

Henry can’t help smiling as Alex has taken over the kitchen.  It’s a sign of how happy and comfortable he is on the yacht, since he’s only ever been this relaxed at the Lake House and it’s beautiful. 

Which is why he leans in the doorway of the kitchen, admiring him quietly.  He could almost imagine a life together just like Alex had written about in their emails or teased about teaching Henry to cook, and honestly, he’s much happier just watching Alex dance around and cook than learning anything.

AND

Just when Alex couldn’t love Henry any more than he already does, he stands in the doorway of their room listening to Henry defend him and his right to make his own choices and honestly making June understand how terrible this is for him and it’s exactly what he needs.

He’s not in this alone.  Henry’s here, too, and no matter what happens – he’s always going to have him.  Now and forever.
He couldn’t be more in love.

He moves to wrap his arms around Henry’s waist.  He has to stretch a bit to put his chin on Henry’s shoulder and kiss his cheek. 

“You really are my Prince Charming.”

AND

Henry pauses his highlighting of the various articles and comments trying to pinpoint where they could go with this to get the situation back under their control when he notices Alex’s lips moving as he zips through various pages of different comment threads as if he’s trying to connect something. 

It’s the first time of Henry seeing Alex in the zone, and he likes it.  It’s a side of Alex that he knew existed, and yet, not gotten the opportunity to see. 

He can just imagine seeing it every day as he focuses on school or work.  All those selfies from bed now make more sense as he lays amongst the various printouts of everything near the stern.  They laid it all out before the chairs around the back and the sunning chairs.  He was on his stomach, leaning up on his elbows, shirtless with his necklace clearly visible.  The key and Henry’s ring together makes Henry feel some sort of way. 

Like he’s sort of claimed his future.  One he won’t let anyone take from him. 

Alex is his future. 

He couldn’t be happier – well, if he ignores the press issue.

Deciding they could use a break, Henry moves so that he’s leaning over Alex, his hands on either side of his shoulders and kisses the back of his neck. 

Alex lays flat, putting his highlighter down, and then shifts around to lay on his back.  He smiles up at Henry, who shifts to straddle him. 

“Hi, baby, did you need something?”

Henry hums and leans down to kiss him lightly. 

“Yes, you.”

Super, Cuddly Alex - Alex/Henry - RWRB

Hence why he’s gone looking for Henry when he woke up from his nap and he wasn’t there.  He knows, logically, that Henry’s here.  His security is here, so there’s no reason to suspect he isn’t, but the second that he finds him reading in the shadows of the trees on the hammock, he smiles in relief.

Henry’s here and he’s not going anywhere. 

Alex quickly moves to join him on the hammock and Henry doesn’t hesitate to shift around opening up his arm so that Alex can lay his head on Henry’s chest and cuddle into him.  Once they’re settled, again, Henry continues his reading as if Alex is meant to be there in his arms.

It’s a nice feeling.  He could just lay here, taking in Henry’s scent – he still doesn’t understand whatever magic is going on for him to smell the way he does – and remind himself that they’re here together, forever.  No one’s going anywhere.

Playing Their Parts - Alex/Henry - RWRB

If there’s one thing Alex loves about living in New York City with the love of his life, it’s that they can just… be.  There’s always this sense when they’re at the Palace or the White House or even at some hotel for some event that they can’t just be themselves. 

It’s as if – even alone in their rooms – they’re worried about someone catching a glimpse of them or hear them being themselves and getting criticized for it.  Alex always thought it made sense at the Palace to feel that way, but the other places had taken several months of therapy for him to realize just how much of a role he was playing for his mom rather than getting to be himself.

First Son of My Heart - Alex/Henry - RWRB

He doesn’t get a chance to get to the car because the second he’s in the arrival area where friends and family usually wait to pick up the person on the flight, he spies Henry.  It’s been a long time since Alex had anyone waiting for him and he assumed that Henry would be too busy (helping prepare for Catherine’s coronation and princely duties) to come, so he’s not expecting anyone to be waiting for him.

But he’s wrong.

Because there he is.  His boyfriend, who he hasn’t seen in months, is standing there all movie-star prince like with a sign that reads: First Son of My Heart. 

Alex nearly melts at how ridiculously romantic Henry can be at times, especially after months without him. 

He doesn’t care about protocols or how improper it would be to kiss his boyfriend in the middle of the airport or even how he’s bound to get a long-ass lecture from his ma about ‘purposely gaining attention from the press for inappropriate behavior’ (as if kissing his boyfriend is inappropriate – he scoffs at the thought).  He hates those lectures, but after three months without him and seeing him come pick him up with that adorable sign, he really doesn’t give a damn.

So, he barely stops himself from running to Henry (but it’s a close thing) and he tosses his bag off to the side at the same time that Henry tosses the sign to the side before wrapping his arms around Henry’s neck and kissing him passionately. 

Henry’s arms wrap around Alex’s waist, lifting him slightly and spinning him around as he responds in kind. 

Alex could feel that Henry’s trying to put so much love and passion in this kiss that is meant to make up for nearly three months of lost kisses and a promise that they won’t be apart for this long again. 

Thank you!
