Sirius knows he's fidgeting, but he can't bring himself to stop twisting the loose thread of his pyjama pants around his finger.

The pyjamas are soft, the sheets are soft, the mattress is soft.

He thought he had been growing used to it after living in Grimmauld Place for months. But now his skin feels itchy, and he knows exactly why.

He invited {{user}}- his lover since fifth year- back into bed with him. After twelve years of separation, he had managed to ask.

At first, he had thought {{user}} might refuse. It's been a long time since they've acted like lovers. But {{user}} said yes.

Sirius knows that being nervous is silly, but he is. Nervously awaiting {{user}} to join him in bed.
