A/N: …I just had to write about this. I'm sure the idea's been done to death and I've got other fics going on at once but really it's the Marauders. Who could resist?
"What'cha lookin' at?" James asks Peter innocently. Instantly, Peter turns red.
"…Nothing." He finally says.
"But from my point of view, you were lookin' at a girl!" Sirius proclaims.
"I wasn't ogling at a girl! I'm not a pervert like you Sirius." Peter exclaims indignantly.
"How am I perverted?!" Sirius is clearly in shock at Peter's previous statement.
"…You tried to cop a feel from an unsuspecting fourth year. You probably scarred her for life, poor thing." Remus chimes in.
"But she was asking for it, being so pretty."
"That's just inappropriate; you don't just randomly grope girls—"
"Shut up, the both of you; sounding like a bunch of noisy idiots," Peter says loudly, intervening in yet another Remus versus Sirius bickering match. The look on Remus' face at being called an idiot is a mix between shock and a morbid interest. After all, why would intelligent, book smart Remus be called an idiot?
"…Seriously, Peter, which girl where you staring at? The suspense is killing me!" James asks, poking Peter in the arm in hopes that would get him to answer more quickly. Peter gulps. It's now or never…
"…Emily Pierce." He mumbles, barely audible.
"She's friends with Michelle Preston right? I dated Michelle, she's smokin'. Therefore, Emily's hot, and I approve of hot girls." Sirius says with a bit too much excitement in his voice. Remus smacks Sirius over the head, subtly defending Peter's dignity. Sirius rubs his head where he got smacked and gave Remus a 'what in the hell did I do to deserve this?!' look. James, however, bursts into hysterical laughter, unable to wrap his head around the idea of Peter ever having a crush on a girl.
…I knew I never should have trusted them with a secret like that.
A/N: I'm really tempted to continue this idea, as I've always wanted to write in the Marauders' era. So maybe I will, with enough interest. Hopefully, everyone is IC. (Please don't hate on Peter, he WAS a friend of the Marauders. I could rant on and on about this subject, but I will spare you the tediousness of my crazed ranting.)
