^*^*^*^
Sirius looked down at his hands for several moments before answering. Finally, he quietly spoke.
"I'm not going to talk to some blithering idiot that I don't even know. I guess if I have to do this, I'll talk to James. That is if he's okay with this," Sirius said hesitantly as he stared into James' concerned hazel eyes.
James grabbed onto his boyfriend's hand and squeezed it tightly. "Of course it is, Siri. I want to do everything I can to help you."
Sirius sighed and looked at the wall across from him.
^*^*^
"How do you feel?"
"I'm fine!" Sirius exclaimed. He stood up and started pacing around the room. "Everything was fine until I freaked out. I've totally screwed up everything and now Dumbledore is going to make me tell you everything."
James also stood up and walked over next to Sirius. He gently placed his hand on Sirius' shoulder and pressed a small kiss on the back of his boyfriend's neck. "Siri, things are not messed up between us now, and I hope you understand that. This would have come out eventually, and to be honest, I'm glad I know about it sooner than later. I love you, and I want to do what I can to help you try to overcome this. As far as Dumbledore is concerned, he can't make you tell me everything, and I can't make you do that, either. I'm not even sure you should tell me everything, Siri. There are some things that you probably should keep to yourself."
Sirius turned around and pressed his lips against James' in a passionate, needy kiss.
"Thank you," Sirius whispered.
"You're quite welcome," James replied. "And you know, if at any point, you decide you want to talk to a coun-"
"A bloody shrink? James, get real! It's not like I'm fucking going insane or something. Besides, I would never talk to someone that I don't trust. As you know, there are very few people in this world that I do trust, and you're one of them."
James just smiled and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend tightly.
^*^*^
The following afternoon, Sirius handed James a pensieve. "I think maybe you should see some of my memories before we talk," he explained quietly. "It might make it easier for me to actually talk to you."
James worriedly grabbed the pensieve. "Are you sure, Siri?"
Sirius nodded his head. "Yes. Unless you'd rather not look inside of it, which if you decide that, I honestly can't blame you. It's just that I've kept a lot of this inside for so long, and I really wouldn't know what to say if we just started talking about it. I think I understand why Dumbledore wants me to get it off my chest, but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy for me."
"I know it won't be," James said softly. "But I want to help you in any way that I can."
Sirius smiled slightly. "You already are, James. After seeing a few of my memories, then maybe I'll be able to just break down and talk to you about it. I've come to the conclusion that the sooner I just get it all out, the sooner I can try to put it at least partially behind me. Then, maybe I'll be completely ready to move on and spend my time with you, not waste my time having nightmares about my fucking father."
James looked genuinely shocked. "Siri, that's I mean, you're "
Sirius almost laughed. "I know. I'm rarely so realistic. But last night I couldn't sleep for a couple hours, and I all I could think about was how I wanted to give myself to you entirely, but I can't if this is weighing me down. That's when I knew that Dumbledore was right, and I had to talk to you about this. That's also when I decided to show you my pensieve. James, you have to understand that I'll never forget, and I'll still have nightmares. However, like I said before, I want to spend my time with you and thinking about you. We don't know what tomorrow may bring, and I'm already wasting valuable time that I could spend completely with you. I can't let my father torture me like this, and I can't let him win any longer."
James carefully put the pensieve down on the bed and tightly embraced his boyfriend. "Since when did you become so wise and mature?" James murmured as he ran his fingers through Sirius' beautiful long locks.
Sirius closed his eyes and rested his head on James' shoulder. "I don't know. Maybe I just couldn't stop thinking about how much I love you and how much I despise him."
James tried to reply, but he simply couldn't. The words were stuck in his throat. So he did the only thing he could think of-he just held Sirius even tighter.
^*^*^
Sirius nervously sat down on the bed and then stood up again. Then, he sat down once again. James had just gone into his pensieve, and Sirius was a nervous wreck. He knew that James would be gone for a while, which meant that Sirius should probably find something to occupy his mind for a while
