Why is this hotness making me tear up and want to hit my bunk at the same time?
This just slays me:
When they were dressed, Harry walked up behind and wrapped his arms around Sirius, burying his face in his warm back. This was his godfather. This was his reluctant lover. This would never change.
Sirius brought one of Harry's hands up to his mouth and placed a long kiss on the palm. Harry's heart beat fast against him.
Then Sirius walked away, his boots harsh on the floor, trudging up the stairs. Harry listened to him go, his heartbeat slowing. He stared into the last dim vestiges of heat from the fireplace as one stubborn ember seemed like it might flare to life in spite of everything but then just succumbed at last to the pull, becoming instead a wisp of smoke on the air.
