Chapter 12

^*^*^*^*^

The following morning, Sirius opened his eyes and looked around at his surroundings.  He smiled slightly when he realized that he was in James' bed, and his boyfriend was curled up next to him.  He must have fallen asleep in James' embrace, and James must have carried him to bed.

Sirius studied his sleeping boyfriend for a few minutes.  James was so amazing in Sirius' opinion.  Sirius was about to lean down and press a kiss on James' forehead when something gold caught his eye.  

Sitting on the nightstand was a small box wrapped in shiny gold paper.  Sirius reached over James and grabbed the little package.  On the top, next to the bow, several words were written in James' scrawled handwriting.

The message read:

To Sirius,

I love you more than you can possibly imagine.

Love,

James

^*^

Sirius felt tears forming in his eyes as he quietly opened the present.  He briefly wondered if he should wait for James to awake, but he decided against it.  He was far too curious to know what was inside of the package.

As soon as he was done taking the wrapping paper off, Sirius pushed it away and stared at the small black box in his hands.  He opened it carefully and stared in awe at its contents.

A beautiful necklace was inside.  Sirius gently picked it up and studied the delicate charm, which showed a small stag and a dog.   Although the necklace looked silver, Sirius figured it was actually white gold.  

He continued fingering the necklace and then eventually put it on.  It felt absolutely perfect on him.

Grinning, Sirius bent down and kissed James' forehead.  "I love you," he whispered.  He cuddled next to James and eventually fell asleep.

^*^

A couple of hours later, Sirius felt warm lips on his face.  He blinked open his eyes and found James staring down at him.

Sirius wrapped his arms around James and tightly embraced his boyfriend.  "Thank you," Sirius whispered.  "It's beautiful."

James kissed Sirius' neck and lifted his head.  "You're welcome, love.  I got it w daw days ago.  I had it specially made just for you."

Sirius gazed into the hazel eyes he loved so much.  "Thank you, James.  I'm guessing that explains the mysterious owl that arrived for you the other day?"

James chuckled and nodded his head.  "You mean everything to me, Sirius, and I want to make sure you know that.  I wanted to get you something to show you how much I love you."

"I love you, James," Sirius murmured as he pulled James closer again.  "It's amazing.  I'll always wear it."

"I'm glad," James replied.  "I wanted something that would make you think of us."

Sirius tenderly ran his fingers through James' hair and then pressed his lips to James'.  The two passionately kissed for several moments before stopping for air.  

Sensing that they might go too far, James shifted positions so that he was lying down on the bed with his arms around Sirius.  Sirius' head was resting against James' chest.  

"Thank you for listening to me last night," Sirius whispered after a while.

"You don't have to thank me," James replied.  "I'll always be here to listen to you, Siri.  I'll always be here for you."

"Well, thank you," Sirius replied.  "I just hate my father so much.  He always made me feel so hopeless and worthless.  You, however, make me feel like I'm somebody important."

"You are someone very important," James said.  "I know it's going to be hard, but you need to somehow try to start blocking out his horrible words."

"I'm going to try, but after hearing them for so long, it's going to be hard," Sirius admitted quietly.

"I know, love.  But each day, I'm going to keep reminding you of how wonderful you are," James said softly as he fingered Sirius' hair.  "Maybe that will help some."

"Merlin, I love you, James," Sirius whispered as he lifted his head.  He brought his lips to James' in another passionate kiss.

While they were kissing, Sirius began to wonder if maybe he was ready to make love to his beautiful boyfriend.

^*^*^*^

Sirius can't decide what to do.  Just last night, he was upset because of his bad memories and his father's cruel words.  And yet, he loves James so much, and he desperately wants to know what it feels like to truly make love.  Is it too early to make love?  Or, should Sirius tell James he's ready?

A) Sirius should wait-he isn't ready to have sex yet.

B) Sirius should tell James he's ready to make love.
