I asked [livejournal.com profile] nimori for some distraction from the [livejournal.com profile] hp_journos excitement, and she gave me a drabble challenge. The challenge grew! It grew into a 1,000-word ficlet, and, yay, it's even smutty! Kisses to [livejournal.com profile] nimori for the bunny and the beta.



Nothing Near Inebriated
Sirius/James, NC-17
From a challenge by [livejournal.com profile] nimori: Sirius/James: Bending the rules, but not breaking them.


"You can't have asked me in here to hold your head while you puke. You've barely quaffed anything stronger than butterbeer all night."

"Stronger than that, you git, but not at the puking stage yet, no." James peered through the crack in the lavatory door at the corridor outside. "Maybe I just needed to get away from the repetition of hearing our mates call this my 'stag night' and having to see you give me the most fucking annoying winks when you think they're not looking. You're about as subtle as a bludger to the goolies."

"Ah, Moony and Peter were doing the same thing."

"They were not. It was you, you, and you." James turned from the door. "It's always you, you, and you, Pads."

It was on Sirius's lips to crack wise in his defense, but as Sirius saw James's expression, all speech fled. The look was naked. And even his inner six-year-old's urge to giggle at the word was squelched because that was the only word for the look, lacking humor or armor or anything other than bared emotion, wanting and open and so very much at Sirius's mercy.

"Always you," James repeated, because it was true, Sirius wasn't good at subtle, but he'd had to have been a good deal more drunk to have missed that look.

He swallowed. "I...we talked about this. I won't--"

"We didn't talk." James took a step closer. "You talked. You said it's all right, Prongsy, you've got your girl now and I understand; I'm still going to be your best mate even if we don't have that anymore, and I listened, Pads, I listened because I couldn't make myself kill what was obviously such a brave speech for you. I listened. I didn't talk. You...made sure I couldn't."

"Now, hang on--"

"No, you hang on. I don't even want to talk anymore; I've had more to drink than you think and I'll just start slurring things. I lost my chance to talk, so I'll just go right for the action, shall I?"

And Sirius found himself pinned against the lavatory wall. James's hands were on his chest, and there was a half-hard cock pushing against his own through two sets of trouser cloth, and James's mouth, not on Sirius's mouth but on his neck, biting, sucking--as if to say, yes, I'm done with the talk, you talk if it means so much to you.

Though all Sirius could manage was a "Gnuh."

The hands left his chest and went to work on his trouser buttons; James never had failed to be a man of action. Whether it was the alcohol or the surging understanding that the sweetness Sirius had believed he was never going to have again was happening to him right here and now--or possibly just the prospect of hushed and hurried sex in a public lav--Sirius was completely hard by the time the buttons were undone. So hard that there was already wetness smearing over James's fingers at the first touch of his hand.

"Fuck," said Sirius, achieving an actual--if unprintable--word this time. "James..." Neither was a word that would get him to stop, though. Sirius was having the hardest time understanding why he would even want James to stop, but then the word and the reason lined themselves up like some peg-in-board puzzle, and he said both: "Lily..."

"No," said James, pulling his mouth from Sirius's neck, "not tonight. Tomorrow you can say 'Lily,' and I'll say Lily back to you, and we can talk about it. Tonight--" and he kissed Sirius on the mouth after all-- "I'm not married to Lily yet."

Of course Sirius knew that that wasn't the answer, not at all, and of course there would be oceans to talk about once they did talk--but tonight James wanted it to be the answer so much, so much, that Sirius couldn't do anything but let it be. Because this was James, this was Jamie, this was Prongs, and Sirius had thought it had cost him his soul to make that I understand speech so many months ago.

James slithered to his knees, and all Sirius could do was brace himself against the wall as James took his cock into his mouth, pulling him in with one long hollowing of his cheeks and a suction that almost did for him right then. One hand reached inside the tangle of fabric to cup and hold Sirius's balls, and the other was down James's own trousers now, moving as rapidly as James's tongue was, up and down the underside of Sirius's prick like a finger beckoning him towards damnation, and wasn't that about the shape of things. Sirius wanted to throw back his head and howl, but instead kept his eyes on James's face as he came, until his eyes watered with the need to shut them tight and just feel--but he couldn't miss a moment of Jamie closing his own eyes as Sirius's come spilled over his tongue and the back of his throat and him swallowing it down like it was the best thing he'd had to drink all evening.

He had enough strength to stay on his feet after, but not enough, it seemed, to do up his own trousers as James had his own shuddering orgasm kneeling on the floor in front of him. He should have been the one to do it for him, he thought wanderingly. Even if they were in a public lavatory and anyone could have walked in at any moment--

Sirius got his trouser buttons done up. If they did walk in, the scene now looked not too far off from a bout of drunken nausea after all.

"James," he said.

James had taken his sticky hand out of his trousers. It glistened on his lap, and Sirius felt a rising urge to lick it.

"Tomorrow," James said.

Sirius knew the word was a promise.

Whether to him or to Lily, he couldn't be arsed to ask.

Yowza! Ohsohot and wow, the need and emotion of both of them is overwhelming. Completely gripping from beginning to end, and GAH for the nearly-public!sex. Rowr. :-)

You wanna know something funny? When I'm writing it, the public-sex vibes part of it isn't as strong, because even though I like that kind of thing, I know that they won't be discovered if I don't plan for it to be part of the story! Isn't that weird? Means I have to go to someone else's stories for that kind of uncertain thrill! XD (Oh, and eeeee, thank youuu!)

James is tricky for me, as we know so little of him, but he and Sirius together--they're just such strong personalities, it's such a temptation to put them together. So glad you liked!

Oh, I love how James has to have Sirius no matter what, that there are all of these emotions spilling out from under things that should've killed them, like Lily and Sirius' "understanding." It's so very intense, so very havetohave, and so delicious, too, that Sirius is *there* for it all, not just physically but emotionally as well. And did I mention the heat? Because guh. Steamy beyond the telling of it.

Oh, my, you always make me go back and say, "wow, was that what it was?" on these things! And yay that you thought it was sexy; I write this kind of stuff with my own loins, so to speak, even if they don't have the same shape 'n' stuff. ^_^

I like that there was no swooning and no kiss. It seemed more credible that James would just cut to the chase.

From: [identity profile] amanuensis1.livejournal.com
YES. Boykissing is wonderful 'n' all, but, my god, they're guys, and guys are all about going right for the cock, you know? At the risk of being crude. And they are trying to rush, after all.

Guh, this is almost tragic...I mean, we know from canon who James choses, and then you give us such need and want between them. Very hot, but yeah, also a tad sad there. :-)

Oh, but of course, James and Lily and Sirius were all in a happy threesome, right? Er, happy until that whole Voldemort showing up to kill the Potters and Sirius going to Azkaban thing. Nevermind.

Oh, wow, so hot. I'm with Gina on the nearly-public-sex, and the emotional component makes things so much steamier. Why more people do not know this I have no idea.

It's ALL about the emotion. How can it be any different? *shakes head*

James Potter - bad boy, good guy, gets the girl, keeps the mate, fathers the brat that saves the world - what's not to like about him having risky last night sex in a public loo?

If I could just get over the image of boys loo floors and smelly urinals, life would be purrrfect. But this was lovely, hot, and I'm glad I'm not reading this at work - many thanks!

(Me thinks maybe our boy is probably going to end up being a bit unfaithful - or maybe Lily goes for a threesome?).

In my perfect world, of course it was a threesome! But of course that leaves me wondering about Remus, and what about all those yummy Snape/Black stories, and in a perfect world none of them would have died, and...oh, heck.

It's really incredible to me how this manages to be both very funny (as if to say, yes, I'm done with the talk, you talk if it means so much to you. Though all Sirius could manage was a "Gnuh,") and heart-breakingly sad, (Tomorrow you can say 'Lily,' and I'll say Lily back to you, and we can talk about it,) and all in such a short piece.

And hot. Sex in a public toilet... guh!

Heh, public toilet sex is, like, the very heart of dirty sex, isn't it? 'S why some people think it's too dirty and the others can't get enough. ^_^ Thank you so much!

Wow. This is...um. "Hot" begins to cover it but then the weight of the angst that accompanies the Hot...*flails*

*gives up and squees* OMG I LOVE THIS! And, of course, as several have mentioned above? Public Toilet Sex is just DIRTY - in that really really fantastic way :).

I loved the intensity of this. I could really feel their emotions and their need for each other and Sirius's painful feelings. And public toilet sex is always so hot! And although we don't know much about James, the way you wrote him really feels like canon James to me. Excellent piece, like everything you write. You're one of my most favourite authors - I find your flowing writing style really amazing and compelling.

For some reason, I can't resist drabbles that turn into ficlets. They always seem so damn good to me. Perhaps that's because only the best ideas seem to force their way out of the drabble mold, I don't know. Anyway, drunk!James is adorable and sweet, and at the same time the fic is ever so slightly angsty. I love it. Yay for Sirius/James, there's just not enough of that around.

And good luck over at [livejournal.com profile] hp_journos. I'll be rooting for you.

Oh, I'm so glad you thought it was only ever so slightly angsty! Sirius/James will always have overtones, y'know, unless it's so severely AU as to be unrecognizable. So happy you liked! And thank you for the good wishes. *hugs*

Ahh, that's so beautiful. I'm in love with this ficlet. It's so sad, yet so hot and packed with raw feeling, and there are some lovely lines in here:

'...up and down the underside of Sirius's prick like a finger beckoning him towards damnation...'
