you and Remus were on the couch watching tv, while James raked through the kitchen in search of god knows what.
he was making a noise, and quite frankly, he was giving you a head.
“Jamie!”
his clattering stopped at your call of his name, a sheepish grin on his face as he came back into the living room.
“yes love?”
you cradled his face in your hands, stroking your thumbs across his cheeks while his eyes flicked between you and Remus.
he already knew why you shouted on him, but James didn’t want you to get annoyed at him for it.
“what are you looking for?”
Remus sat up behind you, soothing a hand across your side while speaking to James.
“you’re making a lot of noise James, whatever it is can’t be that important”
you watched as James’ brows knitted together, a pout tugging at his lips.
he was in on himself, you could tell, and it made you frown.
“ignore Remus, what’s wrong James”
James shook his head, resting his hands on the back of the couch.
“next doors cat is back. do you remember where i put the kibble?”
that made you laugh, amusement painting your features.
of course James was trying to feed the neighbours cat again, even after they had asked him to stop.
but Remus disagreed with James, had told him plenty times to stop.
“you’re still trying to kidnap Mango?”
James chuckled, nodding his head with a soft smile tugging at his lips.
“yeah so come help me look, please?”
you stood from the couch, even as Remus tried to keep you in place.
his hands rested on your hips, trying to pull you back to him.
“Remus… you don’t have to like it, but it makes him happy”
he cast a glance to James, and then back to you before he sighed.
“i’m not talking to the neighbour if you two steal her cat this time”
both of you smiled at his words, while you leaned in to press a kiss to his cheek.
carefully, you rounded the couch and moved into the kitchen while James followed after you, already hatching a plan on how to catch the cat.
“you get the kibble and i’ll do the catching, i’m not cleaning you up if the cat scratches you again James”
remus lupin watching james potter speedrun his sexuality crisis in 5 minutes deciding whether he wants to throw him out the window (he’s petty and jealous) or snog the living daylights out of him (he’s horny and in love)
a/n: volubilis potion alters someone’s voice, therefore james is squeaky. also baby’s first moonchaser so still working on how i’m characterizing them
“did it work?” james asks, giggling slightly and remus immediately snorts a laugh.
james sounds as if he’s inhaled helium, voice high and squeaky and remus can’t help but laugh.
the caramel skinned boy brightens at the sound of remus’ laughter, smile widening and chest puffing in pride.
“you’re so stupid.” remus says while laughing and james deflates a bit, pouting superficially.
“that’s not very nice.” he mumbles, voice still high pitched which in turn has remus cackling again.
“jamie, stop talking, i’m gonna get a stitch” remus cracks up again.
“okay it’s not fun anymore, how much longer until the potion runs its course.” james whines, eyes all big and doe like that remus can’t help but sober up immediately and melt.
“oh honey,” remus coos immediately, moving to cup james face’ in his hands before james huffs a breath, petulant at the babying.
“it’ll be out of your system by dinner, so a couple hours at most” remus reassures him but james potter is nothing if not dramatic.
“a couple hours?!” he screeches, as if he wasn’t made explicitly aware of this fact when they both decided to mess around.
remus shrugs with a small smirk, “i think you sound adorable prongs” remus reminds him, squishing his cheeks together.
james glares as his face is distorted before his eyes spark and he starts to groan.
“what?” remus asks, slightly distracted as he twirls one of james’ curls around his index finger.
“sirius and pete are gonna have a field day about this.” james mumbles, looking down.
remus tsks, lifting his head up again by the chin, frowning, “they can piss off, you know they mean well but if it gets to you, i’ll sort them out alright?” remus states seriously, chest brimming with protectiveness.
james’ eyes widen as his cheeks heat and remus raises a brow in confusion.
“you-erm, well, you know” james stutters and remus’ brows raise.
“that wasn’t an actual sentence, so no, i don’t know” remus states and james pouts again.
“you’re stupid hot.” james acquiesces and remus snorts again.
“poetic some would call that” remus says in return and james would like everyone to be made aware that the squeak as their lips meet is a result of the volubilis potion.
Something was deeply wrong with Remus. There was no quantifiable reason why he should feel this head over heels in love with someone after only 6 months of dating.
Granted, he has known James since they were both 11 but being 20 and 6 months into dating, it’s quite a bit different than just being best friends.
Such as the way Remus used to find himself quite embarrassingly jealous of the bond Sirius and James shared before realizing his feelings towards the tanned boy were more romantic in nature.
Now, he knows that when James smiles at Sirius, it’s completely platonic, they are soulmates for sure, but platonic nonetheless.
But when James smiles at Remus? All saccharine and wonderfully like Remus has lifted the sun into the sky? Remus knows that’s different.
Which is why when James turns from where him and Sirius are sitting on the floor to smile stupidly, eyes crinkling at the edges, Remus mouths the words before he can even think about it.
“I love you,” and it feels right, falling from his lips so effortlessly and he knows that James feels it too.
James’ eyes start to pool with unshed tears and as the endings wrap up on screen, James clambers over to Remus on the couch and smashes their lips together.
James soft lips slotting into Remus’ chapped ones like they’ve belonged together from the start of their very existence.
“Sirius is going to complain we’re ruining movie night” Remus mumbles against James’ lips, who only grunts, kissing Remus harder.
“Don’t care, Love you, love you so much” he gasps into the kiss, hips rutting into Remus’ before they’re interrupted by a long groan.
“One night! All I ask for is one night!” Sirius cries out.
James and Remus detach to see him watching them with a manic look in his eyes, “You two keep your goddamn hands off of each other until after the movie. Then when I leave you can defile each other like the animals you so clearly are” he scoffs.
James starts to giggle into Remus neck which tickles him enough to have him squirming.
Remus presses a sweet kiss to James’ forehead, the both of them snuggled together to watch the next film.
As the opening sequence starts, James opens his arms and Sirius crawls into them and this time, instead of jealousy unfurling under his skin, it’s a warmth.
A found family, people he was always meant to find and keep for himself.
