Safe Haven | Sirius & James
Of all his friends, James held Sirius in the highest regard. The two told one another everything, never hid secrets from one another. It was often joked amongst many that they were practically married. And therefore, James knew all the things about Sirius that many did not. Like how he hated his family. How he detested their views. How he worried for Regulus, or how he feared they would try to envelop him in their dark world. James knew all the things that kept Sirius up at night. He protected those thoughts with his life.
Sitting home on break, though, he often wrote Sirius letters. He wasn't often allowed at the house of Black. Sirius's family couldn't stand him with all his pure beliefs. That and James had a habit of openly hitting on Narcissa and Bellatrix, just to make them squirm with discomfort whenever they were around. In the midst of a letter, however, it became blatantly apparent that he wouldn't be finishing it when he took a moment to peek up out his window and... "Sirius?"
With that, he tossed his stuff aside, running down and out of the house to meet the other despite the weather of pouring rain that greeted him. "Sirius what... what the bloody hell are you doing here mate? Come in, jesus... you're soaked."
