Just Friends
chapter three:

It was a bright, new morning and sunlight poured through the 5th year's dormitory. James arose from his slumber with a yawn. His blue eyes opened and he grabbed for his glasses, stood, and looked around. Peter's bed curtains were still drawn closed, as were Sirius's and Remus's. He tiptoed over to Sirius's bed and ripped open the curtains and jumped on the bed. But there was no Sirius there. "What the? Maybe he went down to breakfast... Wait a second! This is Sirius I'm talking about. He never wakes up this early." James said to himself looking at the clock which showed 6:30 am. "Hey Rem, you awake? Sirius ain't in his bed." He walked over to Remus's bed and parted the curtains, "Rem- WHOA!" There in the bed where Remus Lupin slept lied not only Remus, but Sirius also, and entwined in each others arms!! James quickly slammed the curtains shut and crawled back into his bed. "Too early... m-must be s-s-seeing things." He muttered to himself and drifted back off to sleep.
About a quarter of an hour later Remus stirred a bit. He parted his eyes and blinked a few times. His eyes widened in shock... 'WHAT IS SIRIUS DOING IN MY BED? WITH HIS ARMS AROUND ME... AND MY ARMS AROUND HIM!?!' The lad shrieked in his mind. He tried to remember the night before... Sirius had caught him staring at him so he rushed off to bed and fell asleep... 'Augh! Then how is he-" Then he remembered. He had dreamt that he tripped down the steps and kept falling and falling, then Sirius caught him and moved closer to his face... He felt Sirius's breath on his face and all shyness and embarrassment was lost as he whispered his raven haired lover's name and pulled him close and they stayed that way together forever... 'But that was just a dream... This isn't possible.' He pondered for a mere second that Sirius climbed into his bed with him and quickly pushed that out of his mind. 'I'll just have to ask him. Dammit! I can't do it right now. I have to think.' With that, Remus silently slipped out of Sirius's arms. He dressed quickly and then hurried off to early breakfast.
Sirius continued to sleep in Remus's bed until he felt a hard smack on his head (which woke him abruptle). "What the hell!?" he yelled through clenched teeth looking up at the messy haired boy who did it, "What's your fucking problem, James!?"
"YOU'RE the one with the problem, Mr. Black." James said with a frown. Sirius quickly realized where he was and turned red.
"Shit. Shit. Shit." He said, covering his head with a sheet.
"What the hell were you doing in Rem's bed? I thought I was having a dream (or a nightmare) when I woke up early this morning and saw you two..." James trailed off, "J-just explain yourself!" Sirius sighed.
"Is Peter or Remus around?" he asked.
"They're down at breakfast. Now SPILL!"
Sirius unwillingly told James of how Sirius was over at Remus's bed when he woke up and grabbed him and how he couldn't get up without waking him. When he finished he pulled a pillow over his face and groaned. "Right, but why were you over at his bed?" James questioned him again, obviously confused. Sirius paused. Should he tell his best friend James about his love for their other best friend? He'd have to find out sooner or later anyway...
"James... I think I, I mean, I know I'm..." he stumbled to find the right words but sighed as he found them, "I'm in love with Remus." There was a brief silence but James soon spoke up.
"Well, I don't think it's weird. I kind of thought so after last night." Another pause. "Were you at his bed just staring at him or... something else." He blushed a little. But Sirius laughed.
"I was going to kiss him. I thought 'No one'll know!' but then he opened his eyes and smiled... and pulled me close. I was panicking but then I calmed down and just stayed with him, you know?" James smiled a bit and nodded.
"When are you gonna tell him?"
"T-tell him?"
"I mean, he probably already knows, finding you in his bed and all. But down you think you should tell him directly?"
"I can't! Not now!" James looked at him and he turned away, "But I will soon. Right now, we'll just act as if nothing happened." James frowned.
"Don't you think he'll say something?"
"No. I'll tell him... before the third full moon."
"The third full moon? Sirius, that's Christmas," James lowed his voice a bit, "And when we're suppose to become Animagus." Sirius nodded and grinned.
"Exactly. Now let's stop talking about all this rubbish and go down to breakfast, I'm starving." Sirius threw on his robes and strode out of their dorm.
"You'll be starving for a piece of that werewolf before Christmas." James laughed to himself but quickly adjusted himself. "I wonder if Remus feels the same way..."
"Feels the same way about what?"
((a little cliffhanger. sorta. kinda. well you all can easily guess who walked in on James talking to himself. haha. keep reviewing, thanks for your time, loves!))
