Singing woke him. It was cute how Sirius got all excited this time of year. It was sweet and childlike, and bloody annoying. It was five AM and he was singing loudly in the shower. James rolled over and covered his head with a pillow.
"I've asked a great many people. Yet nobody seems to know. How the pirates spent their Christmas. In the days of long ago."
The smile crept onto his face despite his resentment of being awake. Muggle children want to be wizards. Sirius wanted to be a pirate. And Sirius, as was his nature, had never grown out of his obsession. James sighed and considered getting up. He had to go to work, and he had to eat, but he wanted to just lay there and listen to his love.
"And how many loaded galleons. On Christmas day they sank. And how many merchant seamen. They made to walk the plank!"
James laughed as Sirius' voice broke. He had started the song in too high a pitch to begin with. He thought about the tickets in his jacket pocket.
"And whether they chanted carols. As 'round the decks they rolled. And made each other presents. Out of their hoards gold." His words ceased; James guessed correctly that Sigh was just pausing to find shampoo and suddenly the words started again. The sleepy man hadn't realized he was holding his breath until he breathed out as Sear started to sing again. "And covered a mast in green leaves. And called it a Christmas tree. And hung it with shining sequins. On the shores of a tropical sea! James," he shouted suddenly, "I know your up and I want you in here!"
"But I'm so warm right here."
The sound of sighing was all that broke the silence along with the shower jets, "Fine," said Sirius after a moment. " And lit the rum 'round the pudding. And cursed in a friendly way. Yet refused to do any business. Because it was Christmas day."
James moaned as he put his foot on the cold floor. As he passed the chair he picked up his coat and riffled through the pockets. He padded into the bathroom to brush his teeth. Sirius laughed behind him as he sang the last verse, "I've asked a great many people. Yet nobody seems to know. How the pirates spent their Christmas. In the days of long ago." He turned and saw James smiling at him. "What?" James said nothing but held the tickets out for Sirius to see. "Holy fuck! James! These are-"
"I know what they are," interrupted James. "I figured you might want to go and see for yourself what they did on Christmas." He rubbed his figures over the plane tickets to the Caribbean. "Di' I do good?" he asked hesitantly.
"Good? Are you kidding? This is great!!" Sirius pulled him into the shower, ignoring the fact that James was wearing Pj pants and kissed him hard. And as they broke apart he said, "All together now!" and James joined him as he sang the song again.
