Severus wasn't quite sure how much time had passed, when Sirius was roughly pulled off of him; an angry James came into focus, standing next to a very surprised Sirius, the later of whom's shirt was clasped in the formers hand.

"I wasn't aware this was a two person gig," James frowned at Severus, before dropping Sirius' shirt and falling onto his lap. He knotted his hands in Severus' hair, and was only able to just start kissing him, before he too was pulled back.

"Did you say you had more games, Severus?" Sirius asked innocently, even though he had James' shirt held in is hand.

Severus smiled weakly at the two boys, before allowing himself a few seconds to catch his breath. A quick wink and a smirk from Sirius sent more butterflies through his chest before making their way down his body. The boy was doing nothing to calm his nerves.

"Yes, I did," he stated, standing, and brushing his hands down his shirt to try in vain to remove some of the wrinkles. He ran his hand through his hair, before remembering once more the recent haircut he had received. "This next one's called truth strip, so Sirius, you might want to put your clothes back on. I mean... if you want. The rules of the game are simple. We'll ask either of the other two a question, and if the answer to the question is yes, they remove an article of clothing, and the person who asks the question will receive their article of clothing. If the answer is no, the person who asked the question has to give an article of clothing to the person they asked. In the end, one of us will own the other two's clothing, and they will be crowned the winner. Also, socks don't count, nor do boxers. As incentive, whoever wins will be able to kiss the person they most want to in this room," he smirked.

"Well, I hope you win, Severus, so I can see ol' Jamsie's face when you choose to kiss me and not him," Sirius smirked confidently.

"We'll see about that," James glared briefly at Sirius. He turned to face Severus and smiled. "Let's start."

"I'll go first," Severus offered, "and then James, while Sirius hurries and replaces the clothing he shed." Severus blushed while he said this, and Sirius grinned widely, and winked at Severus once more.

"My first questions for you, James," Severus smirked, knowing he would receive, rather than give, an article of clothing for this question.

"At any point in your life, have you ever liked Lily Evens?"

Sirius barked out a laugh at this one, and James scowled.

"Cheap," was all James said as he tossed his shirt over with a quirked eyebrow.

"My turn," he smiled. He turned to Sirius, "Sirius, at any point in your life, have you ever fancied someone in Slytherin?" James smirked over at his friend.

Sirius growled. "That's cheap, you know the answer because of Never Have I Ever."

"Looks like cheap is the name of the game tonight, brother." James smiled at his best friend. Sirius chucked his shirt at James' face, who caught it easily, with a chuckle.

"Fine, have you ever given a blowjob, dear sweet James?" James hadn't even time to put Sirius' shirt on before he tossed it back to Sirius.

This surprised Severus. He had started this thinking Sirius was a player who slept around with all the girls in the school, and had experimented a couple times with guys just out of curiosity, and that James was as straight as a board. Come to find out, Sirius wanted nothing to do with girls, and James and been with guys before?

"Wait, really?" Severus asked, facing James in disbelief.

"Really, what?"

"You've been with males before?"

"Of course, don't be so thick. Would I be chasing after you if I wasn't? I've snogged you multiple times tonight, and you're just now realizing I'm into blokes?" James looked at Severus in amusement.

Of course Severus wouldn't reveal to James that the only reason he was here was because of amortentia. But he pressed on, curious.

"But, what about Lily?" he asked.

"I like who I like, I've never limited myself to any gender. But if I'm being honestly, Lily's the only person I've noticed in years. Until tonight of course," James said, grinning over at Severus.

"Alright," Severus said slowly. He was beginning to learn a lot more about these boys than he ever thought he would, not to mention a twinge of guilt over the James and Lily situation. "My turn...

"Sirius, since you've the most clothing, have you ever liked a boy in Slytherin who was older than you?" He wanted to find out who this mystery Slytherin boy was that Sirius fancied.

"I've liked many Slytherin. To be honest, most of the men I've liked have been in that house. Too bad there's no way to ever know if they'd be interested back." Severus quirked an eyebrow in interest as Sirius tossed him his shirt, he now had both of their shirts, and they were sitting there, bare chests open to his eyes. He knew of many men in Slytherin that were interested at least in other guys, but they had to keep it secret due to their pureblood status, would they ever hook up with a Gryffindor? He didn't know if the extent went that far, he knew they still held pride, even if they hated some of the pureblood rituals and traditions, but if was kept secret... He just didn't know.

"Alright," James said, smirking at Sirius. "Have you ever... received for a guy?"

"Actually, no, Jaimsie. I'm more a top myself," he smiled wickedly at his friend, before waving his hand in a beckoning motion to James. James sight, and stood, slipping quickly out of his jeans and kicking them over to his friend.

"I'll have it turned around before too long," James threatened.

"Well it's my turn, and since James has no clothing to give, I guess it's Severus' turn," Sirius smiled over at Severus, and once again butterflies erupted in Severus' stomach.

"So, Severus, have you ever fantasized about me?" he winked. Severus tossed him is shirt back with a blush; this caused Sirius to grin wider as he caught the shirt.

Severus looked to Sirius, as James still had no clothing to give. "Same to you, Sirius," Severus said with a blush.

"Oh, and what was the question, I seem to have forgotten," Sirius smirked.

Severus glared good-naturedly at Sirius. "Have you ever fantasized about me?" he asked.

"Loads of times," the Gryffindor whispered to him with confidence, tossing the shirt right back. This took Severus by surprise. Loads? It can't have been more than tonight, and that couldn't really count as loads. Unless since he got here, he had been constantly fantasizing? Hmm

"My turn to win back clothing," James smiled. He turned to Sirius and asked, "before this year, did you ever fantasize about Severus?"

James' pants were thrown back to him and Severus' world froze.

What?! The fuck. Sirius had fancied him before this? His chest was burning and he was sure his face reflected that. It felt as if he was dumped in ice and set on fire at the same time. It wasn't some single night of amortentia? All this time he had thought these feelings were one-sided. He couldn't think straight. This meant...

"So James," Sirius began, and Severus was pulled from this thoughts. He would have to analyze this more later. "Have you ever fantasized about Severus?" he asked with a smirk.

"Tonight, yes," James said, and tossed him his pants back.

Before tonight?" Severus asked, wondering if the amortentia was meddling with their brains, making them think they'd always been in love with him?

"Is that your question?" James asked slyly.

"Sure," Severus said exasperatedly.

"Then no. I just noticed you tonight."

Severus tossed James' shirt back to him. Well, that answered one question. It wasn't the amortentia affecting Sirius that caused him to say that...

"My turn," James said, still smiling slyly at Severus, "Severus, have you ever fantasized about me?"

Sirius' shirt was tossed to James, and Severus was left once more with this own clothing. This made him a little too nervous.

"Severus," Sirius said. They seemed to be ganging up on him. "Have you ever fantasized about the same person for more than two years?"

At this, Severus smirked. Because he had only noticed how attractive Sirius and James were after their return to Hogwarts last year, and his fantasizing hadn't started until a few months later, after the boys had cornered him in the halls a couple times.

"No, actually," he said, still smirking. Sirius tossed him James' jeans.

"Sirius, have you ever fantasized about someone for more than two years?" Severus asked.

Sirius stood up and unzipped his jeans, letting them fall to the floor. Severus couldn't help get a twinge of jealousy at the fact that someone had occupied his mind for that long.

"You."

Severus caught Sirius' jeans, the thousandth time, it seemed this evening, his chest burning. He didn't know what to make of this.

"Severus," James asked, realizing Sirius had no clothing to give. "Have you ever wanted to date someone at Hogwarts? I know you said you haven't kissed anyone or done anything with anyone before tonight, but is that because you don't want to date anyone until you're out of school, or because you haven't found someone yet?"

Severus was stumped. "What if... I really don't know?" he asked.

"Picture yourself dating anyone at Hogwarts. Does that image appeal to you?" Sirius asked.

Severus imagined himself dating one of the two Gryffindors, and realized... he wouldn't mind. That wasn't the right word... He would really enjoy dating either of the two.

He tossed James his jeans back.

"So, Severus," it seemed this was the theme as of late. "Would you want to date either of us?

Severus tossed Sirius his pants back. This made him nervous, as now he had no protection if they asked him another question that he would say yes to. He turned to Sirius, and risked clothes loss. He wanted to know more information about Sirius' interest in him.

"Sirius," he asked, "have you ever wanted to date either of us?" He repeated Sirius' question, and motioned between James and him.

Sirius slid his jeans back to Severus, an gave more than a yes for an answer.

"Ever since first year. The moment I saw you on the train, I had the biggest crush on you, and you were sitting next to that Lily. James took an immediate interest in her, but obviously, neither of you were interested in us. Didn't even notice us. I was mean to you in the beginning, because, well, I was an eleven year old with a crush, and I thought the only way you wouldn't figure it out is if I was mean to you. James was always mean to you because he was jealous of you and Lily's friendship. And he thought that you liked her. I always really hoped that wasn't the case, because, well, obvious reasons."

Sirius blushed, something Severus never thought he would witness. He carried on, "And then as we got older, and you showed that you weren't interested, it was just easier to keep up appearances. And besides, and least if you were cursing at me, you were paying attention and talking to me, as immature as that sounds. ... And then this twat," he gestured towards James," had to go and try and steal MY crush, even when he still likes Lily. I mean, what kind of friend does that. He's known I've liked you for the past five years, and he's always warned me against it, saying, 'oh, all he ever does is cause you hurt, Sirius.' 'The only time he pays attention to you is when he's hexing you in the halls, Sirius,' 'you could have anyone in the school, Sirius, why are you caught up on the only boy who won't give you the time of day,'" he used air quotes around each sentence that he supposed James had told him from time to time. He then glared again at his best friend. "And then the FIRST time you show interest, the first time," he emphasized in annoyance, "he has to go and say, 'oh, but I'm interested in him too now.'" Sirius shook his head. This whole time, warmth was growing in Severus' chest. He couldn't believe this was happening. It definitely wasn't part of the potion he slipped them. These were real feelings he was talking about. Amortentia didn't meddle with memory, and Sirius had a clear memory of events that occurred before today. He was pulled from his thoughts as Sirius started again. "I mean, he's interested in Lily! She's the only girl he likes romantically. Sure, he's been with other people, but not to date! And he KNOWS that's how I feel about you, yet he's trying to push me out of -"

At that moment Sirius was cut off. Severus had no idea how that sentence was supposed to end, frankly, he didn't care, because at that moment, he had jumped at Sirius and crashed his lips against his. He had no idea that Sirius had felt that way, or for that long. It made so much sense as to why Sirius had treated him the way he did. Not that that was an excuse, but still. He hungrily grabbed a fistful of the boys hair and pulled himself closer, straddling his hips. It took Sirius only seconds to react after the initial shock of Severus throwing himself at him. Severus felt Sirius' arms wrap around him. One snaked around his lower back and underneath his shirt. He could feel Sirius' fingers forcefully press against his lower back, pulling him ever hard against him, but even that wasn't close enough for Severus, his heart burning more intensely. This wasn't like the first time they kissed. Severus felt no guilt over manipulating his feelings, because he wasn't, he thought happily. Sirius was much more needy and forceful this time, and Severus didn't know if it was because of his previous statement before, or the fact that Severus seemed more confident, but he definitely wasn't complaining. Sirius' other arm ran up his chest and cupped his jaw briefly before tangling in Severus' hair. Severus felt as if his whole body was burning. He pushed his hips forward, trying to get impossibly closer to Sirius. He could feel Sirius pull more with the hand that was splayed against his lower back. He hummed in approval and wound both sets of fingers through Sirius' hair.

That's when he felt the burst of magic separate him from Sirius by a foot or so. He blinked a few times in confusion, his lips tingling from Sirius' treatment.

"Are you done now?" a livid James was standing next to the two boys, his wand pointed between them.

'Well, we know who cast the spell,' Severus thought. Frankly, at this moment, Severus was done with the flirting and the teasing and the kissing. He didn't want to get in the way of James and Lily, and he knew this was only going to last tonight. He might as well bring them back to the castle now. What he learned about Sirius gave him some hope, but he would have to figure out how to work with that after tonight. Right now he had bigger things to worry about. Like, how he was going to keep the boys from remembering this night. He had a feeling they wouldn't take to well to having their emotions manipulated once their emotions weren't, well, manipulated any longer.


It took a while longer for the boys to get dressed, and for Severus to ignore Sirius' increasingly insistent advances. He had to keep reminding himself that the potion would wear off by morning, and he had to have everything sorted by then.

Once they got to the Gryffindor common room door - one the boys readily lead him to before giving the password - Severus turned to the boys, and asked them if they could do one last favor for him. They agreed readily, and Severus smirked; amortentia did have it's many conveniences. He placed his wand against either of their temples and withdrew their memories from that night. He then placed a somnous charm on the pair, and floated them through the opening and rested them on the couch with a well placed Wingardium Leviosa spell. For all they knew, they had crashed on the couch early evening, and forgotten to retire upstairs.

It was only then, that Severus closed their common room door, and headed towards the dungeons, unknowing of the bombardment of questions that his two boys were going to have to face in the morning.
