Dumbledore's eyes had been twinkling all day. It was that type of thing that put Severus on edge. That twinkle was worse then a thousand threats from the dark lord; it meant he was up to something. Something with, supposedly, good intentions. Severus didn't believe that hogwash for a second, Dumbledore liked messing with people and Severus was his favourite person to mess with.

Now the twinkling eyes were looking at him from across their desk. Severus tried not to fidget in his seat; he dreaded what was coming next. Well he didn't know that for sure but he was fairly cretin that he would hate it.

"Severus" Dumbledore began "do you still hate Sirius?"

What the fuck? Of course he did.

"Yes." Severus answered curtly trying to mask the confusion in his voice.

"Hurm…" Dumbledore tapped his forehead thoughtfully with his quill. "Well that shall end soon."

"I beg your pardon?" Severus asked, not entirely sure where this was going.

"He's in love with you Severus." Dumbledore told him solemnly.

"What!" Severus exclaimed.

"Well Severus I know you're not particularly experienced with this field of life but what it means it-"

"I know what it means Dumbledore, but this is Black were talking about Sirius Black! Cocky, loud, obnoxious Gryffindor Sirius Black! He is not in love with me! I swear to god you're senile old man!" Severus could not believe what he was hearing Sirius Back in love with him, no it would never happen!

Sirius thought it odd that today Dumbledore's eyes were twinkling the way they did when he was about to mess with someone's life. But he tried to stay out of it. Dumbledore preferred to mess with Snape's life and that didn't bother Sirius at all. All he had to do was steer clear of both men and he would be fine. He hoped. At least he had hoped.

Now he sat across from the man with the twinkling eyes dreading whatever Dumbledore was going to tell him.

"Sirius." Dumbledore began. "Do you still hate Severus?"

What…?

"Yeah…" Sirius said cautiously.

"Hum…" Dumbledore pushed his glasses up his nose thoughtfully. "Well that will soon change."

"Excuse me?" Sirius asked dumbfounded.

"He's in love with you Sirius." Dumbledore said, his expression revealing nothing.

"What!" Sirius jumped in his seat.

"Oh come now; Sirius you of all people should know what that means." Dumbledore said tiredly.

"But this is Snape were talking about! Severus Snape! Greasy, sneering, stupid Slytherin Severus Snape! He's not obsessed with me! You're mad!" Sirius didn't get it. Severus Snape was not in love with him, could never be in love with him! Severus Snape hated him!

"Now Severus that attitude will only lead to hurt feelings on you're assignment." Dumbledore scolded kindly.

"What assignment?" Severus asked suspiciously.

"The one I'm sending the two of you on. But you can never tell him I've told you this, it would embarrass him to no end." Dumbledore informed him gravely.

"Why would I care if I embarrass him?" Severus sneered.

"Because it would be mean and your assignment will take quite some time, it would be horribly awkward." The twinkle in Dumbledore's eyes as usual was seriously freaking Severus out, there was no way out of this was there…

Defeated Severus finally gave in. "So what's the assignment?"

"Now Sirius that attitude will only hurt his feelings on you're assignment." Dumbledore said wagging his finger.

"What assignment?" Sirius asked cautiously.

"The one I'm sending you two on. But don't tell him I've told you this it would embarrass him to no end." Dumbledore said sternly.

"Why would I care how the greasy git feels?" Sirius growled.

"Because it would be unkind and your assignment will take quite some time, it would be unbearably awkward." Sirius shifted in his chair, those twinkling eyes always made him nervous.

Sirius sighed, there was no way out. "So what's the assignment?"

"Come back tomorrow and I will tell you both at the same time. Seven in the morning; be ready for quite the journey." Dumbledore informed the now irritated looking black-haired man in front of him.

(If you were wondering that was both of them in one)

Also to anyone who was reading this before, I fixed the page breaks. That makes the first bit much, much more clear, no? I will also try to point out POVs at each page break, if I for some reason forget to a clear way to tell is that they are on last name terms, I know you probably all know this already but I'm saying it anyway. Sirius calls Severus, Snape. Severus calls Sirius, Black. And they will continue to do that until further notice. Thank you.
