Salute! [Eros & James - PG13 for Sexual Talk]

It had been a while since Eros has officially settled down in England and everything was going quite well. Lessons were running smoothly and all the more people were getting interested in his subject, something that made Eros feel quite pleased with himself. It meant that he was doing his job right.

There was another reason why his stay here had been a good one though. Eros had the chance to be working alongside his best friend of all times, James Balan. The best potion maker he had ever known throughout his life. And Eros really owed it all to him that he was able to brew a couple of potions himself. Without James, he would have failed. Miserably.

And even though the two men had talked about going for a couple of drinks way too many times, they still hadn't managed to get together and have some fun. But today was going to be different. Eros had finally found some times off of his job, and after contacting James and making sure he didn't have any other plans, they had arranged to visit Diagon Alley and more specifically, the Leaky Cauldron.

Dressed quite casually in a pair of dark jeans and a shirt, Eros threw on his leather jacket and used his fireplace to apparate to Diagon Alley. Lighting a cigarette, he blew out the smoke and made his way towards the Leaky Cauldron. James would probably be there before him. After all, he was the Irish one.

Stepping foot inside the pub, it didn't take long for Eros to spot his best friend across the bar. A smirk touched the man's lips and he quickly moved towards his friend, taking a seat next to him after he nodded his 'hello'.

"'Bout time, man!"

"Scusa, James. I didn't want to keep you waiting, but you know, the ladies..," he said, returning the gesture.
With a small chuckle, Eros took a seat next to his best mate, already eager to begin the night. Seeing a Firewhiskey coming his way, Eros quickly grabbed it and nodded his thanks at James.

"Let's get on it!"

"I couldn't agree more!"

Downing his shot, Eros motioned for another round to come as he turned to James, curious to see what he had been up to for the past few weeks, since the school started.
"So, tell me, how's life? How's the fan club coming along? I might need you to pass me a girl or two."

As the new round of shots was placed on their table, Eros took ahold of his. "Salute!" The man said before downing yet another shot with ease.

The jokes that James kept playing about him made Eros chuckle, knowing his best friend wouldn't waste a minute. If he could tease him about something, he was going to do it until he got bored. Or until he found something else to tease him with.
So instead of replying, Eros just laughed along. The night was going to be long and the Astronomy Professor couldn't be more excited about it.

The downside of this night though was that once Eros got drunk, he would have to carry his drunken ass home, and deal with the after effects of this long night alone. Without company. Because he was certainly not going to take James with him. Waking up next to him would give Eros a heart attack. It had happened a couple of times in the past, during their Hogwarts Years, when they partied hard. And the view in the morning was not pleasant.

And that reminded him just how much he needed to find a good lay. Someone to take care of his needs -that were growing bigger and bigger- and take care of him in general. Eros was not the man to settle down, but from time to time, he did think about finding a pretty girl and claim her as his. And be faithful for once. Or well, try.

"Life is as great as it can ever be teaching kids who have no enthusiasm to learn the subject you put before them."

Another chuckle escaped the bloke's lips, as he leaned back, chilling against the bar. "They are kids, James. I doubt we were very eager at their age either. I certainly remember the lack of enthusiasm you had when there weren't any girls around." A playful wink followed the man's sentence, before he once again fell silent, waiting for James to go on.

"And, fan club? Merlin only knows who started that, but I hope it's going well. As for women... I can't say the school brings you many conquests! And, with my best friend slacking on the partying... well, I can't say the group is growing.

"What about you? How's the new job going? Enjoying it, yeah? And, you seriously cannot tell me you need help getting a lay, I mean, I know I'm the better looking of the two of us, but you should get something, at least, even if it's a bloody bimbo of a blonde!


Snorting at the comment of how better looking James was than him, Eros grabbed another shot of Firewhiskey and downed it all, before answering all of James' questions.
"Job's very good, actually. I am finally doing what I always wanted, and I have to say I did not expect so many children to show up. It was a bless and a nightmare at the same time." Taking some time to clear his throat, Eros continued with his speech.
"As for the women, man they are disappearing! It's like all of them died overnight. And you know I despise the blondes. Too much fake in one vessel. But now that you've mentioned Hogwarts, and the lack of women it could offer you, have you seen the Nurse? Dude, you certainly can't ignore that..! If I could have that bent over my desk.. oh Merlin.. I have to make her mine."

Eros could understand perfectly what James meant about kids and his lesson. He was sure it could be happening in his own class as well, but the Italian boy didn't pay too much attention to that. They were kids, and they were too busy trying to control their overwhelming hormones, to be interested in Astronomy and Potions, or in any subject particularly.

So instead of opening up a conversation on how good the lessons were and what they were planning to do next with their classes, both men decided to move on to something far more juicy, which was women. And basically, one specific woman.

Eros hadn't actually introduced himself to that witch, Nurse Mayer, but he had stumbled upon her once or twice down the corridor. Their rooms were close, which made it all the more difficult for him not to go knocking on her door in the middle of the night, asking her whether she was up for a little adventure that would include intense pleasure and would leave her sore the next day.

But Eros didn't have time to speak about her any more, as James, who obviously knew more about her it seemed, popped up with another of his little comments.

"She's much too attractive for you, man. Not to mention she's way too much woman for you to handle. As for desks, I bet you couldn't beat me to getting that done."

"I know she's bloody hot, dude. That is why she caught my eye. And believe me, if I were between her legs, she wouldn't be too hard to handle, for sure."
Smirking, it took a few seconds for Eros to catch on to the bet James was talking about. But as soon as he was sure he had heard right, the Italian heart breaker downed another shot before speaking up.
"But I will certainly take you up on that bet, my friend. I have nothing to lose, and too much to win. I will make sure to record her when she's screaming my name and moaning how good it feels."


A chuckle left Eros' throat, oblivious to the advantage James had with her. He was not the man to give up, and since he had the opportunity to claim such a woman, he would do it.

Had Eros been sober, he might have caught on to the annoyance he was creating for James. Or maybe it wasn't so much of an annoyance, but more of a jealousy. James didn't know what Eros had done with Ceres, and he wouldn't know, unless he had something intimate with her. Something very intimate. Which was not a possibility since everyone knew that James did not do relationships, and if he had fucked her once, Eros would have been the first to know about it.

"I'm sure you have no idea."


"Oh I might actually have an idea."
Lying was not something Eros did all the time, but when he did it, it was going to be very believable. And this time, he was going to do it very good.
So as his best fried put on a smile, Eros continued speaking with a new wave of attitude.
"You know, I had accidentally walked in on her while she was changing in her office. She didn't see me, but oh Merlin, man. Those black lace underwear did it all. Can you picture it in your head? Black lingerie, high socks and black heels..."

A small smirk appeared on the Italian's face, knowing that it would sting James, since it would seem as if Eros had the upper hand it this.
"I lasted more than once that night. It was crazy." A small chuckle followed as another shot was placed in front of him, and Eros gladly downed that one as well.

"Should we set a time limit on the challenge... a week?"


Nodding at that, Eros relaxed in his seat, the alcohol starting to catch up with him little by little. "A week sounds good mate. It might be too much even."
