James POV:
Running through the halls as fast as I physically can I practically fly up the stairs to Gryffindor tower.
Coming to a stop, panting heavily, in front of the fat lady I wheeze out the password and stumble through the portrait hole.
Making my way silently through the common room and up the stairs to the dorms I make sure to check the room before entering.
Remus is still out! Yes!
It's still fairly early and besides, Remus likes to sleep in on the weekends.
Tiptoeing through the dormitories I creep toward my bed, hoping to Godric I don't wake anyone.
"James?" The sleep addled voice of Remus Lupin whispers.
Damnit I was so close!
Stopping in my tracks and slowly turning to my left I see Moonys head poking out of his bed drapes.
"James what're you doing?" He asks.
He's still half asleep and i have to admit, his bed head is working for him.
"Had to use the bathroom..." I lie.
Moony just nods his head, most likely too tired to even suspect me of not telling the truth.
"Sorry if I woke you up, go back to bed," I tell him.
He shakes his head and closes his eyes, his head drooping a little.
Sighing I walk over to him.
Standing in front of him he sits up and pushes the bed drapes away.
"Remus you need your sleep." I say sternly.
Remus rolls his eyes under hooded eyelids.
"You're one to talk," he quietly slurs.
I hold back a smile.
Sleepy Moony is honestly adorable.
"Alright fine, if I promise to get more sleep will you?" I bargin.
He nods his head slightly and I'm about to walk away when I feel his arms wrap around my waist.
"M-Moony?"
Remus doesn't answer but instead leans his forehead against my stomach, his arms still wrapped around me.
Sighing in half exasperation half adoration I rest my hands on his shoulders and cup his neck, leaning down slightly to rest my head on his.
After a few minutes of just standing here like this my neck begins to hurt.
Standing up slowly nudge Moony, who has since closed his eyes.
"Hey, don't go falling asleep like this, lay down at least," I whisper.
Remus opens his eyes and looks up at me, heavy eyelids and deep breaths.
He nods his head slightly and then crawls back on his bed and curls up.
Once again I'm about to leave when he catches my hand in his.
"Stay?" He mumbles and I raise my eyebrows.
Man, sleepy morning Moony is nothing like regular Moony.
I've seen him when he's tired before or after a full moon - but this is something completely different.
Nothing at all like how Remus normally is and totally out of character for him.
"James?" Remus whispers after I haven't answered.
I shake myself from my thoughts and slowly crawl into bed next to him.
As soon as I'm settled Remus puts his head on my chest and slings his arm over my body.
I freeze in suprise and just lay here for a minute before ulling the blanket over us and wrapping an arm around him.
I press my face into the top of his head and inhale deeply.
He smells like peppermint.
"Goodnight Moony," I mutter into his hair, closing my eyes.
"G'night James," he mumbles, his voice muffled by my shirt.
A wide smile slowly grow on my face as I begin to fall asleep next to one of my possible boyfriends.

"Oi! A cuddle sesh without me?" A loud voice wakes me.
And if that didn't, then Padfoot jumping ontop of me did.
"Get off you lousy mutt!" Remus calls from beside me as he struggles to sit up.
Sirius and I are laughing our asses off while Moony - who has finally managed to right himself - takes a pillow and begins to hit the offending boy.
Sirius shifts his position so that he's laying in between mine and Remus' legs, a wide grin on his face as he catches and pulls the pillow away from Remus.
"Well goodmorning to you too Moony," he smirks.
"It was a good morning before you decided to interrupt!" Remus glares, running a hand through his hair.
His bed head is sexy.
Sirius puts a hand over his heart and gasps.
"Careful Moony otherwise I'll start to think you don't want me around!" He says dramatically.
Remus just snorts.
"I never said that, I just don't enjoy being woke up by someone jumping ontop of me," he retorts.
Sirius grins.
"So you do want me around?" He asks.
Moony rolls his eyes then takes another pillow and hits Sirius in the face with it.
Sirius just laughs, pushing it away then turning to me.
"And how about you, My Prince? Is this a good morning?"
I flush at the nickname and clear my throat.
"I would say so," I say primly.
Sirius' grin widens and shoots Moony a look.
Remus just rolls his eyes once again then throws the covers off and get outs of bed.
He opens all the curtains and the slowly starts toward the bathroom, yawning.
Sirius shifts to where he's laying across the bed and I move to where I'm laying next to him.
Siri glances at me and then at Remus, who is still on his slow path to the bathroom.
Sirius gets a look in his eyes and before Remus can disappear into the bathroom he let's out a low wolf whistle.
"Lookin' good Moony!" He yells across the room.
Moony doesn't even look back at us, just flips Siri the bird and walks into the bathroom.
Sirius rolls onto his back laughing and I just look at him and shake my head.
I'm so tired.
It takes a minute for Sirius to calm down but when he does he sighs and stares up at the canopy.
"How've you been, Prongs?" He asks suddenly, not moving his gaze.
Terrible.
"Not bad," i say, shrugging my shoulders.
"Really? 'Cuz you seem to be pretty out of it these days," he tries to say casually, but I can tell he's planned this talk.
Sitting up and sitting cross-legged I look down at Sirius, who still hasn't looked at me.
"I'm fine, Pads," I insist.
Suddenly Sirius sits up beside me, a strange look in his eyes.
Silently he grabs my hand and gives it a gentle squeeze.
"Okay, I believe you..." he says.
"But...if you're ever not...you know I'll be there for you right?" He mutters softly.
A warm feeling blooms in my chest and I squeeze his hand back.
"Yeah, I know Pads," I smile, one of my rare real smiles.
Sirius smiles back, then it widens into a grin as he claps me of the back.
"Good! Now, get up and get dressed! We've got a date to get to!" He exclaims, hopping off Remus' bed and bounding over to his own.
I get up as well, a small smile still on my face.
