Love in Disguise-Chp7

Sirius: *led him outdoors n got onto the family carriage, then rode dwn all the way to richer part of town, a bit ways further dwn than Hogsmeade*

Severus loved looking at the outside world, since he only was able to catch glimpses when he lived with his father. "Where is it that wer are going?"

Sirius: Just to an old family haunt of mine, wen I'm with my snobby family n friends. I love the food there, I must admit, just not the company I was with, n I hope I could enjoy it with u n pamper u a little

He smiled. "Do you think that people will look at me because I am dressed in men's clothes?"

Sirius: There's nothing wrong with tht. Tht's one thing abt being a woman. They get all the luck bcoz they can wear both men AND women's clothes, so I dont think they'll think differently. I hope u dont mind tht I dont reveal ur true gender. Word gets out quick in my society n my parents will flip if they find out ur not who they think u r. They might evn threaten to send u bk to ur father, n I dont want tht

"I won't. I don't want to go back to him either." He shook his head. "I have never been out to eat. This is so funny." He smiled, looking back out.

Sirius: U'll get more chances like this in the future *the carriage stopped* Ah, here we r. Shall we? *got out the carriage n held out his hand*

He gluped. "Ok." He tried to smiled and took his hand, shaking.

Sirius: Its alright, I'm right here *kissed his cheek n wrapped his arm ard the younger man's waist n led him into the fancy restaurant*

Maitre'd: Ah, Master Black. So good to see u. U brought ur new bride today

Sirius: Yes, n I'd like to hv the usual seat in the private booth

Maitre'd: Right this way, Master Black *led the way*

Severus felt everyone's eyes on him. He stuck to Sirius as the man took them to a booth on the wall on the other side of the restaurant. Severus slid into the seat closet to him.

Sirius: *sat dwn opposite him* Dont worry. Keep ur eyes on me. Dont mind them. They're just probably chking out the bride of the eldest son of the Blacks. No big deal

Severus nodded, but he still felt like everyone was judging him. He tried to look at his menu but all the hungry and excitement had gone out of him and now he just wanted to turn around and leave and hid in his house for the rest of thie life. "Wwwhat looks good?" he asked.

Sirius: *smiled kindly at him n put a hand on his* How abt trying their in-house set dinner? Its the best way to go when u come to a new plc, to try their specialty. Would u like tht?

Severus nodded and put his menu down. "It is not too much is it?" he asked.

Sirius: *shook his head* Of course not. If any, I was worried it might be too much for u

"Oh." Severus was aware that he was skinny. "I thought you like that I am thin."

Sirius: Not tht thin. Ur practically skin n bones. N a few weeks of marriage with me is not enough to cover it. Its not healthy for u. I'm gonna make it my mission to make u at least in an acceptable weight.

"Oh." He nodded and looked down. "I understand."

Sirius: *caressed his cheek* Dont look so dwn. I meant it in a good way. I care abt ur health. I care abt u. U knw tht

"Yes. I just feel like I am embarrassing you by my weight. I am sorry."

Sirius: No, ur not. Ur not embarassing me at all. I'm just concerned for ur health. Leave it to me, OK? *calls the waiter to make the order*

The man came over. While Sirius ordered, Severus noticed that a blonde man was staring at them. Severus looked away, flushing.

Sirius: *made the order of in-house specialty for both of them, then realized Severus was blushing* Wht is it, my dear?

"There is a man watching us. Well... more you than me."

Sirius: Where is he? *tries to search discreetly with his eyes*

"Across the room from us. Sitting with a a blond woman, a brunette man and woman."

Sirius: *turned to tht direction n paled a little* Oh crap

"Sirius?" Severus looked from Sirius to the blond man. "Who is it?"

Sirius: Umm...well, remember tht fling I had with the only man in my life during school? Tht's him. Lucius Malfoy

"Oh." Severus took another look. "Weren't those women at our wedding?" Lucius was SO muc much good looking than Severus.

Sirius: No, dont look at them too much. Yes, they were. Tht's Narcissa and Bellatrix Black, my cousins. Narcissa is the blonde who is currently engaged to Lucius. Bellatrix is the brunette, a psycho bitch who is married to Lestrange right aftr school. Too bad Andromeda isnt here. I liked her better than those lot

Severus looked away. "Mister Malfoy looks...nice." He was slightly jealous. Lucius looked grougus, and Severus knew he was plain.

Sirius: Too nice for his own good. N dont be fooled by his good looks, Sev. His heart is as black as his forefathers. I'm glad we decided to call it quits

"But don't you miss having someone better looking to look at?" Severus asked. "He dosen't look like he has a crooked nose, and I can't say for his teeth."

Sirius: Wht good is a pretty face if ur heart is ugly? N I've told u already, ur not ugly. Ur attractive as I see n if I like wht I see, u should be happy. Didnt I tell u not to sell urself short? *stroke his hair n face*

"Yes. I am trying." He tried to smile. "My nose was not this hooked with I was littler."

Sirius: Its OK. I like it. I like to trace my finger along it, as well as ur face *demonstrated it to him with a gentle smile, not evn stopping wen their order came in*

Severus blushed deeply. He saw the waiter raising a brow. Severus looked down at their food. The food at this point made him sick. He didn't want to eat it.

Sirius: *blinked* Wht's wrong? Dont u like ur meal?

"No, no, no." He shook his face and started to eat. The food tasted like ash.

Sirius: *noticed tht he wasnt enjoying his food n stopped him* Stop *puts his hand on the one tht was holding the fork* Severus, if u dont like ur food, then say it. Pls. Wht's wrong

"Nothing, Sirius. I am find." He tried to smile. He didn't want this to be a disaster for both of them. At least sirius should enjoy it. "I am having a good time with you." That part was true.

Sirius: N I with u. Bt I cannot enjoy it if ur not either. Come, is there something wrong with the food? Is it not to ur liking? Be honest with me, tht's all I ask

"I...." He bit his lip. How could he explain. "I....I don't feel...good...really. I feel....out of place."

Sirius: Would u like to leave? We'll hv some plc modest. How abt tht? Would u like tht? Its OK. I can just hv this food as take out n let the servants hv it

"Would that really me ok?" He asked, blinking. "You wouldn't be ebarrassed?"

Sirius: No of course not. Its alright. The ppl here would rather we hv do take outs than wastage. Come *called for the waiter to pack up the food as take-out*

Severus smiled slightly. "Thank you, Sirius." Sirius was getting better and better. Severus expected that his dream would end and he would be back at home with his father.

Sirius: *smiled* Anything for u, my wife *leans ovr to kiss him, then once the take-out was brought ovr, he took it n Sev's hand, paid for the food n made a leave for it, bt tht would hv to mean walking past Lucius' table*

Severus gulped. He changed to Sirius' other side, not the one by the table. He didn't want sirius to even speak to him let alone see him.

Sirius: *had made no intention of evn acknowledging Lucius, n allowed Severus to do as he pleased*

"Well look what the cat drug in. Sirius Black." Lucius was looking over Severus. "Having seen you since your wedding." He looked at Sirius. "Been embarrassed to bring her out?"

"Oh Luci, dear." Narcissa smiled. "Hello, Siri."

Sirius: *rolled his eyes n held Severus close* Hey Cissy. Hey, Luc. Sorry to disappoint u bt no, I wasnt embarrassed to bring her out. I'd just like to hv her to myself for a while, like a newly wed should

Narcissa blushed slightly. "Hello, there. I am Narcissa Malfoy, Siri's cousin." She held outher hand.

Severus reached out to shake it when Lucius pushed Cissa's hand back.

"I am sure that is what you say to ever one." Lucius chuckled. "Leave the girl at home and come over sometime." He gave Sirius that look.

Severus looked up at Sirius.

Sirius: *raised a brow* I'm sorry, bt I hv to decline. My wife is my number one priority right now. I would not leave her for the world. Unlike u, I'd prefer to be a filial husband. Now if u excuse me... *takes Severus' hand n was prepared to leave*

Bellatrix: *mutter deliberately so tht Sev could hear* Such a rotten little creature, isnt it? A half-blood too, no wonder. Those filthy Muggle blood must've been the result of his...looks. Siri sure knws how to pick 'em *laughs gingerly*

Her husband across from her, chuckled. "If it was him I would have jumped off a cliff at the mere mention of filthy blood." He said low.

Severus' heart clenched. He turned and walked out, more like ran out of the resturant. He just wanted to get away from them. Once outside he just picked a direction and ran, their words still ringing in his ears, tears running down his face.

Sirius: Se...Severus! *gives them a "This is not over" glare n chased aftr him. Whispering a tracking spell, he followed the trace of where Severus last turned into n gave chase, shouting his name*
