@hpkinktober alt3 prompt: moresome
(+voyeurism which was day14) im so sad i missed the actual day of that prompt i just happened to have had the toughest exam that day hhh
Lily was the one to bring it up.
“Do you miss Sirius?”
James laughs, surprised and a little bit confused. He sets the Daily Prophet down his lap in favour of meeting her gaze across the breakfast table. “Maybe? I don’t know, I mean we’ve just had dinner with him and Moony the other day. Why? Do you?”
“It’s just… I know how close you two were.”
“We still are,” James trails off.
Their past relationship had been one of James’ first confessions when he and Lily became an official couple, and that was way back in their Hogwarts days. The memory of the conversation was ingrained in James’ mind.
She had nodded that time, eyes deep in thought, then shrugged. “I knew something was going on between you two.”
That made him fall in love with her even more. He was right. She knew.
“You don’t mind?”
She placed a kiss on his hanging lips. “Why should I?”
“He’s already dating Remus, you know.”
“Do you want me to be mad?” she chuckled.
And James thought she was cheating with that question because maybe he did, maybe he wanted her to find something wrong with whatever he and Sirius had. It was far from something normal teenagers would do; swap boyfriends– or, well, Sirius wasn’t a boyfriend. Remus was definitely Sirius’ boyfriend. James is… not.
But the thing is, he never got to answer because Lily was running her nimble fingers all over his hair, her nails were scraping his scalp, tugging ever so softly, and she was straddling his lap. It’s more than enough to have all his thoughts fly out the window.
Since then he and Sirius stopped seeing each other that way without properly saying goodbye, just silently acknowledging that it had passed, that they’re both equally devoted to only their respective partners.
It was never brought up again. Until now, that is.
Oh.
James sits up straighter, opens and closes his mouth, unsure what or how to say it. Is she really going for that conversation? He clears his throat. “You mean…?”
“Yes, James," she says, wryly, "I mean that.”
“But it’s been so long! Why would you think–”
“Exactly why I ask.” She flips her hair over her shoulder and leans forward, a posture she reserves for when she really means business. But her eyes are soft as she reaches for his hands. “Do you miss him? You know you can be honest with me.”
James continues to flounder with his words. “I don’t want to… Is this a test?”
Lily chuckles and shakes her head. “I’m not going to take it that way, despite what you apparently think.”
A fleeting rush of adoration washes over him of how Lily knows him too well; how he doesn’t need to finish his sentences with her. And then he does think of Sirius. How he’d been the first— and only one— to do that in James’ life, to know him right down to his core. Lily’s right. She’s not going to take it that way. She knows what went down between him and Sirius, and from her response back then to her intrigue at present, there’s no room for jealousy.
So he answers her honestly. “I do.”

Remus doesn’t thinks he’s hot as fuck because he isn’t his own type. His type is pretty boys with light eyes and devilish grins. He is a giant with no coordination and a pension for grandpa sweaters. This is why he’s immediately attracted to Sirius. Even Regulus and Barty trip him up once in awhile. Remus Lupin has a fucking type, okay.
James, on the other hand, is attracted to personality and vibes. His type is mean, a nice smile, and long fingers. This is why he knows he’s fucking hot, because his vibes are immaculate. This is also why he’s had a crush on Sirius, Remus, Lily, Regulus, Dorcas, Frank, and Marlene.
They’re both messes.

Lily, talking to the group: Don’t add to the population, don’t subtract from the population. Don’t drink if you’re underage, and don’t apprate if you’re drunk. Stay out of the morgue, the Profit, and Azkaban.
Sirius, whispering: Well there go our plans for the night
Remus: Which part?
James: All of it

youtuber au
remus runs a book review channel that has slowly been turning into a drama and rant channel
sirius and james run a joint prank channel but it’s significantly more humane than most of the popular ones (they also mostly prank each other and nothing is staged)
lily runs a true crime channel that collabs with remus frequently for special horror episodes
peter is a gamer and actually has the most subscribers out of all of them for his valorant streams
snape has multiple hate blogs for each of them

Harry, thoughtfully: Do you ever notice how Sirius and Professor Lupin always sit next to each other at dinner?
Hermione:
Harry, even more thoughtfully: And...they always share a couch when we sit in the sitting room. And it's a small couch.
Hermione:
Harry, getting suspicious, now: And, you know, I saw Professor Lupin leaving Sirius's bedroom the other night!
Hermione:
Harry, nodding to himself: They must be really close friends.
Hermione: *bangs head on table*
Lily, to James, looking down from above: Oh, he is your son.
