A/N: Betcha thought James’ last statement would lead to some kissing…hmmmm…
Sirius stared at James for a moment before replying. “Yeah right, James. Stop joking around and just go out on your bloody date. I’m sure Lily is waiting for you.”
James groaned in frustration. “Sirius, I am not joking around. I mean everything I am saying! Gods, have I ever lied to you before? Would I ever lie to you, Sirius?”
Sirius laid back in his bed and pulled the covers up over himself. He turned over slightly so that he was facing the wall. “Just leave James. Leave me alone.”
James walked over to Sirius and forcefully turned him over on his back. “No! I will not fucking just leave! I am not joking or making any of this up. I would never do that to you. I am in love with you, Sirius Black. I have been for ages, but I’ve never had the courage to tell you before. Why the fuck can’t you believe me? I’m not lying to you!”
Sirius sat up in bed and glared at his best friend with narrowed eyes. “What in the hell are you doing? Why are you dragging this on for so long? Since when do we play jokes on each other? Would you just shut up and leave me alone?”
“NO I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU ALONE! I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU, YOU BASTARD!” James roared.
Sirius stood up and pushed James against the wall. “You and I both know you couldn’t possibly be in love with me. What is this? Are you really some Slytherin disguised as James so that you can play some sort of a prank on me?”
Sirius’ hands were still pinning James against the wall. James reached up and locked his handoundound Sirius’ arms. He quickly pulled Sirius’ hands off of his shoulders and then painfully twisted Sirius’ arms behind the taller man’s back.
“This is not a fucking prank,” James said in a dangerously low voice. “Why in the hell won’t you listen to me?”
Pure fury and anger showed in Sirius’ eyes as he unleashed himself from James’ grasp and rammed James against the wall again, this time with his hands and his knee, which was pushing into James’ left leg.
“The real James Potter would never have feelings for any man, let alone me,” Sirius replied bitterly.
James carefully shoved his right knee up against Sirius’ groin, but he didn’t push it. He just left it there, slightly touching Sirius.
“What in the hell do I have to do to prove I’m really me?” James asked almost desperately.
“You can’t prove it!” Sirius exclaimed. He clenched his hold on James’ shoulders so tight it was really starting to become painful. “This is the sickest joke. Who are you? Snape? When does the polyjuice wear off anyway? An hour?”
“Sirius Black, you fucking idiot, I am the real JAMES POTTER. I am your best fucking friend, you bloody git! And I am in love with you, temper and all!”
Sirius pulled one hand away from James’ shoulder and then plowed a fist into the left side of James’ face.
James howled out in pain and started to reach up to touch his face, but then thought better of it. Instead, he shoved his knee into Sirius’ groin. Sirius shrieked out in pain and pulled James away from the wall and then shoved him back against it again.
“You are Snape, aren’t you? You fucking bastard, I will kill you! I screwed it up last time, but I won’t this time! You’ll be dead when I’m through with you!”
Sirius punched James hard in the nose this time. James retaliated by forming a fist with his left hand and then shoving it into Sirius’ stomach. Sirius screamed out in pain and fell to the floor. James pounced down and landed on top of Sirius. Their faces were now inches apart from each other.
Sirius glared in hatred at the man he thought wasn’t James. “Get your fucking self off of me, you bastard. Unless, of course, you want me to get you off myself.”
“Try it,” James replied through clenched teeth. He tried to ignore the blood rolling down his face.
Sirius growled in anger and attempted to shove James off of his body. James held firm and rammed his knee against Sirius’ groin again.
Sirius paused for a moment in pain while James just watched him. It was almost as if time was standing still…momentarily…
James was still watching Sirius with baited breath when Sirius all of a sudden grabbed James and forcefully switched their positions. Now, Sirius was on top. He took one look at James’ face and felt nauseous.
‘Gods, this is Snape,’ he thought to himself. ‘This is not my beloved James’ face covered in blood, this is a fucking Slytherin pretending to be James. This is not James.’
The idea of James drenched in blood made Sirius sick to his stomach.
‘This is not James,’ his mind reminded him. ‘Not James. Bloody Slytherin. Not James. A Slytherin breaking your heart by making you think for one second that James Potter could possibly ever be in love with you.’
And with that thought, Sirius simultaneously beat his knee into James’ groin, while his right fist collided with James’ nose again.
James reacted immediately despite the pain and plowed his fist into Sirius’ left eye.
“What in the hell are you two doing?” Remus asked loudly. He had just walked into the room and was standing in the doorway with a shocked expression on his face. Peter was directly behind him.
Sirius looked up at Remus while James just continued to stare at his best friend. “This is a bloody imposter!” Sirius exclaimed. “It’s Snape acting as James to try and-“
“No, it’s not!” Remus interrupted, running over to his two friends. “I just saw Snape and a bunch of the Slytherins in the library. Looks like they were planning something. This is NOT Snape!”
“Well, it’s a Slytherin bec-“
-“
“Why in the hell do you think it’s a Sly-“
“Because the real James would never say the things to me that this imposter is saying!” Sirius exclaimed angrily.
“Like what?” Remus asked, starting to get mad himself. “What did he say?”
“Like…like I can’t fucking tell you! Just stay out of it, Remus!”
“Sirius, I-“ Peter started to speak timidly.
“SHUT THE FUCK UP!” Sirius roared.
Peter backed away slightly and just watched, not saying a word.
Remus knelt down and stared into Sirius’ angry eyes. “Did he tell you he loved you because if he did then I promise you, it’s the real James Potter.”
Sirius said nothing.
James just looked at Sirius and then Remus, then back again.
“Sirius, is that what he said?” Remus asked in a quieter voice.
“How the hell would you know what he-“
James glanced at Remus and slightly nodded his head, then returned his gaze to Sirius.
“You really think this isn’t James? Don’t you know him better than any of us?” Remus asked Sirius.
“It’s an imposter, you git,” Sirius said, but not nearly as forcefully as before.
“Okay, it’s an imposter then,” Remus said. “Why on earth would an imposter James saying he loves you bother you so much?”
“I…what?” Sirius glared at Remus.
“Maybe because it’s not coming from the real James, which is who you would want to hear it from? So you’re crushed because you think this is a joke, and you desperately want to hear the real James saying he loves you. Remus said quietly. “It hurts to hear something from an imposter that you’ll never hear from the real thing.”
Sirius started to reply, but then shut his mouth.
“Sirius, get off of him,” Remus commanded.
Sirius slowly got up and just watched James and Remus.
“Transform,” Remus commanded to James.
Seconds later, a bloodied Prongs appeared and then James quickly reappeared.
Remus looked back at Sirius and raised an eyebrow. “Theryouryour imposter, Sirius. I suppose the two of you might like to spend some time alone now? Can I trust you not to beat each other to a bloody pulp this time around?”
Neither one answered, but Remus wasn’t even waiting. He knew the answer. He walked out of the room, motioning for Peter to follow him. They closed the door and left Sirius and James staring at each other…
