Hey everyone. This was written for September Event: Back to School, September Writing Club's Sophie's Shelf, Showtime, and Trope of the Month on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For Back to School I used prompt 5. (word) experiment. For Sophie's Shelf I used the Marauder Era Slash/Femslash 31. Remus/James. For Showtime I used the prompt 2. Angel of Music - (emotion) Frightened. For Trope of the Month I used 5. Item: blanket. Warning for slash otherwise known as boy on boy kissing. Also hints at fade to black sex. If this makes you uncomfortable please don't read. If not I hope you enjoy It's Just an Experiment.
James looked around as drug Remus towards their dorm. He didn't know why he choose Remus out of all his friends. Maybe it was because Remus was less likely to judge him for what he was going to ask. Maybe it was because Remus was the only one of them with a serious realtionship at the moment. Maybe, and he wouldn't admit this out loud to anyone, it was the strange feeling he got in the pit of his stomach every time the other boy looked at him. Whatever the reason he wanted Remus' advice on this and he would get it.
"Prongs," Remus called trying to get his attention from his thoughts, "why are we in the boy's dorm?"
Sighing James turned to Remus with a slight blush on his face. He motioned Remus over to his bed where he had taken a seat already. Looking up at Remus as the other boy stood next him James motioned him to sit.
"Not until you tell me what is going on here, Prongs," was the only reply he got.
Trying to look anywhere but up at Remus James mumbled something incoherent hoping to get Remus to finally sit. He looked up as Remus snorted at him.
"I didn't quite get that, James."
"I was hoping that you could give me some pointers on kissing," James said clearly this.
"How am I supposed to give you pointers on kissing James? I'm not a girl." The implications of what James was saying finally must have hit Remus and he shook his head.
"Remus, no one has to know. It could be our little secret."
"James!"
He didn't get any further before James pressed his lips to Remus'. James found himself really getting into the kiss as he moved his lips against Remus'. The other boy's lips tasted of sugar from the Sugar Quills they had just eaten and James found himself licking Remus' bottom lip.
Remus pulled back from his friend a look of shocked disbelief on his face. Neither boy had been prepared for James to kiss Remus like that. James definitely wasn't prepared to actually liking the kiss.
"What was that James?" yelled Remus the shock clear on his voice as he panted trying to catch his breathe.
"I don't know," James muttered. "It was a kiss. An experiment." He started to fidget hoping that Remus wouldn't see that he wanted another kiss. He wanted to deepen the kiss. To touch the other boy. He shouldn't be thinking about that. He had asked Lily to his girlfriend he couldn't be thinking about touching one of his best friends the way he did with Lily.
"An experiment?"
"An experiment." James exclaimed. "Do you think that Marlene will mind if I try it again?"
Before James could get an answer to his question he pressed his lips to Remus' moving them again gently. His hand sliding gently up his friend's thigh. Maybe Marlene and Lily didn't have to know that James would rather kiss Moony than Lily. A frightened feeling came over James as he pushed Remus back onto the blanket that covered the bed climbing on top of the other boy he prepared to take his experiment to the next level.
I hope you all enjoyed It's Just an Experiment.
