Night time

[maraudings]

[James is sprawled over the sofa, with the map of the Nexus on his stomach. He's just completed the last of the tracer spells so it's ready to show off. He's fallen asleep.

Behind James a new door has opened in the wall. He's magically expanded the flat again and the door has a sign on it saying Moony's Den. The room is completely blank apart from a framed photo of the three of them, a stack of cds ranging through the decades and cd player.

James twitches in his sleep. Uneasy in his dreams, chasing a shadow that won't let him near his friends. The shadow turns to him and starts to envelop him until he can no longer see them. He cries out]

[James smiles] well it does involve a few kisses

[lupin-remusj.livejournal.com]

[Raises an eyebrow.] You want to kiss my boyfriend?

[prongs-jamesp.livejournal.com]

And you

[lupin-remusj.livejournal.com]

[Looks surprised now.] Both of us? Together?

[prongs-jamesp.livejournal.com]

[James' shrugs is as casual as they come] yup

[lupin-remusj.livejournal.com]

Do you think he would go along with that?

[prongs-jamesp.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but i have to make sure you'd like it first

[lupin-remusj.livejournal.com]

[Looking at him steadily.] James...

[prongs-jamesp.livejournal.com]

[very softly] just a yes or a no

[lupin-remusj.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[prongs-jamesp.livejournal.com]

[smiles and a lot of tension fades away. he had been afraid that when it came to it, it would be a no] good

[lupin-remusj.livejournal.com]

[Watches him for a moment, then gives him a tentative smile.] I thought that...after that time in class...

[prongs-jamesp.livejournal.com]

[James nods] I just didn't want to you know scare you off or anything

[lupin-remusj.livejournal.com]

That's not likely, James.

[prongs-jamesp.livejournal.com]

Still...I just...it was a silly feeling

[lupin-remusj.livejournal.com]

[Hugs him.] And I thought you were confidence embodied.

[prongs-jamesp.livejournal.com]

I'm not always about the important stuff

[lupin-remusj.livejournal.com]

James. [He has rarely seen this vulnerable side to his friend.] In that case, you *should* have known.

[prongs-jamesp.livejournal.com]

[James smiles] I'm working on it, I just try not to screw things up

[lupin-remusj.livejournal.com]

James, you don't screw things up. [Quietly.] You don't need to worry about that with me.

[prongs-jamesp.livejournal.com]

[quietly] I did before while I was here [James curses] damnit

[lupin-remusj.livejournal.com]

James... [Looking upset.] No, James. That wasn't you. That was...me, being an idiot. And I can't even understand it, because I could never hate you.

[prongs-jamesp.livejournal.com]

[James touches his cheek] I'm sorry for bringing it up. I *know* you wouldn't. Fuck I'm sounding as bas as Sirius

[lupin-remusj.livejournal.com]

I wish I'd not hurt either one of you. [He looks sad, but smiles at James.] You have to understand, the things that I hear about myself...I can't reconcile them to me, James. I can't imagine being so angry with you. I...James, I *love* you, man.

[prongs-jamesp.livejournal.com]

I really think it was another Moony, [James' eyes are fierce] because it wasn't you...it just isn't allowed to be anything but good between us
