Never Have I Ever...

Your Request.

It had been three weeks since the 'tequila night' and your feelings for Sirius had not dampened in the slightest. If anything they had grown. Learning about his love of 70s rock music, his distaste for cruelty and exclusiveness, hearing stories from his days at hogwarts and feeling pain for the boy banished by his maniacal parents, he was hands down the most interesting person you had ever met. He was charming, happy, and so very witty. This was so different to the grim, disheveled Sirius you had met only 7 weeks ago, and so you were very grateful to the Ministry for finally officiating his innocence. From what you had come to learn about Sirius, he had not deserved his fate yet he blamed no one and was as dedicated as the most faithful soldier to ensure the safety and freedom of witch, wizard, muggle alike. He was the most beautiful and broken man who deserved the world and your heart started to make room for Sirius, not because you felt sorry for him but you admired his integrity, courage, and strength and god he made you laugh. You thought back to that night often. It was incredibly enjoyable but boy did you pay for it the next day at work....

"Here you go, take a swig of this and you'll be right as rain, well at least a lesser shade of green." Tonks held out a cup of tea as she sat on your desk and stifled a giggle at your bedraggled appearance. You shot her a look of gratitude. As you accepted the mug she was proffering Tonks cleared her throat. "So ah, what happened between you and Sirius last night?"

"What do you mean?" You blew on your tea.

"Well I hate to break it to you but he was flirting up a storm with you and I wasn't the only one who noticed!" She folded her arms in a sort of so there ! gesture, her pink hair gleaming.

You smiled at her defiant posture "didn't you tell me that's what he does? Flirt?"

"Well..." Tonks unwrapped her arms "...yes he does but that was before Azkaban. Remus said he hasn't seen Sirius show interest in anyone since he got out, five years ago."

"Yes but he was still thought guilty by most of the wizarding world, I'm sure the ministry finally recognising him as the innocent man he is has lifted the burden from his shoulders, he'll be getting back to his old self." You reasoned sipping your tea.

Tonks considered you for a moment. "Did you not see the plethora of women and men for that matter, approach him last night? And him waving them off only having eyes for you?"

She took your widened eyes and dribble of tea down your chin as a no, you hadn't noticed that.

"It's not just last night." Tonks continued. "He stares at you during meetings when you are not looking, and I heard him ask Remus that he hopes he would get paired with you during missions."

"Nymphadora! Y/N! Quit your gas bagging and get back to work!"

Tonks waved Moody off and turned back to you as she stood up from your desk. She was smiling now at your frozen expression.

So Sirius Black, may or may not be harbouring feelings for you. This was new.

Across town Sirius had just woken up, lying face first on his bed fully clothed. He moaned and grasped his head. Sitting up very slowly he gingerly rubbed his temples as he tried to recall the previous evening...

There was Remus and Bill, Harry, his friends and you. He recalled playing a muggle drinking game that you had taught everyone, about who you would rather....oh god! Sirius stood upright. Had he actually asked you if you would rather sleep with him or Bill?! He groaned loudly to the empty room and slapped his hand to his forehead causing him to stumble back to a sitting position on his bed. "Great..." he mumbled to himself "now she'll think you are a sleazy old man."
