SLEEPYHEAD - marauders trio
PAIRING marauders trio x fem!reader
SUMMARY scenarios of james, remus, and sirius seeing you asleep in interesting places.
a/n: this was such a challenge to write. i did lots of research (fanfic reading lmao) to do the boys' characterization justice. the requester seemed to like sirius so i made his longer and have a bit more plot behind it. happy reading!

JAMES + COUCH
it was during james' quidditch practice that he realized you were nowhere to be seen. usually he'd see you chatting with the others as you waited for him, but today you weren't.
the gryffindor team got home pretty late after, resulting in little time for the curly-haired boy to look for you. he supposed you were probably loitering around with the new book you bought up your nose, walking around to immerse yourself, as you always explain to him.
james' planned to clean himself up before looking for you, but as he enters the gryffindor common room, he sees you laying on the couches near the fireplace. he perks up at the sight of his m.i.a girlfriend, happy to see you there. placing the broom stick down and removing his dirtied gloves, james creeped up behind you.
he was faced with your sleeping one, book in hand, while your head uncomfortably rested on the arm rest. he couldn't help but giggle at how cute you are. it wasn't the first time he saw you knocked out cold during your reading sessions, it became a usual scene for james.
with one knee on the ground, he bends his head down to see you up close.
"replaced me with a book once again, haven't you?" he says it lightheartedly, chuckling to himself when you react to his voice by scrunching your nose.
just like he always does; james grabs the book from your hand and puts it on a table where you can find it again in the morning before he scoops you up. your arms automatically hug the boy's neck, nuzzling your face against his shoulders.
he practically melts at your action, trying his best not to get weak in the knees as he walks upstairs to his room. as much as he wants you to wake up in your own bed, it wouldn't be the best idea to enter the girl's dormitory at such late hours. he learned his lesson the hard way, with sirius calling him a 'perv' every chance he gets.
"oh, the things i do for you." he mumbles, caressing your cheeks. he places you on the mattress and watches how you hug the pillows that surround you.
he sat on the edge of the bed, though he tried his best not to make any noise, your eyes began to slowly open, or at least one of them.
"james? when did you arrive?" he can tell you were fighting a yawn as you talked.
"about ten minutes ago. go back to sleep, love. you still owe me all your attention tomorrow for leaving me alone during practice." he kisses the top of your forehead, making your delirious self giggle.
you mumbled an "okay" before sleeping once more. james didn't bother showing that night, his sleepiness and overall desire to be next to you came over him.

REMUS + FLOOR
"do you need leave, moony? i'm sure she's just in the library— y'know, somewhere. we can all just meet at the great hall!" sirius pleads, dragging the hem of remus' sweater.
"very reassuring, pads. just go with james, we'll meet you there." he flicks the black haired boy's hand away from him before finally waving goodbye. remus could hear sirius' grumble as he walked away.
ever since he said he'd pick you up between classes, remus hasn't been available to hang out longer with the rest of his friends, resulting in sirius' little tantrums whenever he leaves. he finds it quite overdramatic since the both of you do spend your time with the rest.
remus arrived at your classroom and waited for you to come out. as he leans on the wall besides the door, he feels a hand tap his shoulders. what he expected to be you was another gryffindor; if he remembered correctly, she was the friend you made during charms.
"can i help you?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.
"you're here for her, right?" the mention of your name made him curious. "she didn't attend today. i last saw her in the library." remus saw her eyes look around suspiciously, then lean closer to his ears. "specifically the restricted section."
a light chuckle came from his mouth at the information. he expected no less; you did have a concerning fondness for anything not allowed, perhaps the very reason why you became such a good friend of the marauders and his girlfriend, of course.
remus thanks the student, bidding her a goodbye before leaving.
he was able to easily find you asleep on the floor after going through a secret tunnel he and james found about a month ago. there were books surrounding you, remus guessed was an attempt to hide yourself. he recognized the book in your hands; it was the same one he recently finished.
placing a small piece of parchment paper on the page you were currently on, remus placed the book inside your bag, which was sprawled along with you on the floor. he takes your bag first, swinging it on his shoulder before carrying his sleepy girlfriend.
"wake up, mon coeur." he whispers in your ear, both for intimacy and for caution in case the librarian sees them. remus sees your eyes slowly open, an enamored smile on his face as you wake up. "as much as i love carrying you around, pads is probably on his last leg looking for us."
"i'm sorry, rem." you yawned, "i wanted to read the book you told me; thought it would be a good conversation starter." you said in a sleepy confession, still half awake, how comfortable you are in his arms.
he shook his head in slight disbelief, chuckling to himself as he left a peck on your cheeks. "there's always a conversation starter with you. don't worry about finishing it, i'll read it for you later."
remus still carried you out of the library, but once you were able to stand on your own two feet, remus held your hands as both of you walked down to the great hall.

SIRIUS + WINDOW
it was a peaceful afternoon with the sun fully out; students were out in the gardens enjoying the rays of sunlight after classes.
at the other side of the garden were the marauders and the rest of the quidditch. a quidditch match was just around the corner, so most members of the team spent their breaks practicing, including sirius and the others accompanying james.
there were times the captain would let the marauders play for fun, just like right now. sirius held a broom stick under him, tossing the quaffle up and down in his hands as his best friend, james, taunted him in the sky.
"c'mon, pads! you scared?"
"it takes a lot more than that to make me scared of you, prongs. watch your glasses." sirius said with a smirk, using all his strength to toss the ball at james. the golden snitch was released as soon as the other players went darting for both james and the quaffles, loud chortles erupted in the sky.
sirius flew towards one of the rings as soon as he was able to catch a quaffle, zooming past the other players trying to snatch the ball. before he could score, his eyes glanced at the window of professor mcgonagall's office, seeing a familiar face. he realized it was you sitting by the glass, distracting him from the game.
"sirius, watch out!" before he could remove his eyes from you, he was hit with a bludger, making him lose his balance on the broom.
luckily, james was able to catch him by the collar, inches away from the ground.
"where's your head at, pads!? you stood there like a statue." remus, who only watched from a distance, ran towards the long haired boy. sirius jumps to the ground on his two feet, his hands held by remus.
"i didn't mean to!" he defended himself, his eyes set on the professor's tower. "i just got— a little distracted or something; it doesn't matter!" remus followed his friend's gaze in curiosity. despite the distance, he could tell sirius was staring at the person behind a window.
"don't tell me..." the mention of your name made the black haired boy's head turn toward remus, who had a smirk on his face.
"absolutely not. yes, i did see her, but i wouldn't let myself be hit because of her." his voice wanes, and his mind immediately corrects him. yes, he'll definitely let himself get beat up just for you, and there's no denying that. sirius sighs, walking towards the hogwarts' building.
he hears james calling for him. "i'll be back! just gotta check on something." he informed his friend before dashing inside.
the halls were busy with students, either leaving or entering their class. some of them greeted sirius, giving them a small smile, but he was too focused on making his way to the professor's office. he didn't know why he was in such in a rush to see you. he couldn't even think of an excuse to give once he arrived.
lately, you've been busy with studying for owls, as everyone was too, so you were no where to be found when sirius looked for you. he knew you'd be in the library, but he was too much of a coward to approach in such a crowded place where everyone would see how awkward he'd be conversing with you.
lily, the double agent, as james likes to call her, is friends with you and the marauders. she'll sometimes talk about you when sirius not-so-subtly changes the topic to you, which opens the topic of your whereabouts.
"she's usually at the library, our dorm, and..." professor mcgonagall's office was a few stairs away by now, given how fast-paced the boy was walking.
as soon as he reaches the doors, the said teacher opens the door with several papers in hands.
"mr. black, what can i help you with?" professor mcgonagall's eyed sirius, who immediately knew he was just out in the sun with how disheveled he looked.
"i was looking for a friend of mine. lily told me she'd be here."
he said her name and house, making mcgonagall look back, revealing to sirius that his friend was indeed inside the office. you sat with your back facing towards the door, a book laying on your lap, while your head leaned on the glass.
"she fell asleep. do wake her up; i promised to, but i have a meeting to attend." sirius nods with a smile, "no funny business, mr. black." mcgonagall points her wand at the boy.
he smirks, "yes, professor mcgonagall." amused at her words. she couldn't blame her. really, it was a perfect chance to set up a prank— having the office of a teacher to themselves was any troublemaker's wet dream. but he brushed the thought aside, eyes fixated on you as he entered the room.
sirius carefully walks towards you, not wanting to startle you with his presence. once he got a bit closer, with your face visible to him, he confirmed that you were really asleep. you looked so peaceful that it made him feel guilty for waking you up.
he can't say you and him were close friends— actually, not even friends. you mostly talked to him during classes when you needed help or he needed help but didn't want to ask for it. he adores how kind you are and how naturally charming and funny you are, just by your witty response to his teasing.
"i can't believe i'm seated next to a little nerd." he'd say, with you responding back almost immediately, "thanks to that nerd, you actually aced a pop quiz." as if it were the most natural thing to you. sirius also admires your passion for studying; he thinks it's probably his and his friend's nonexistent studying habits. the only thing sirius doesn't like about you is how carelessly you take care of your body.
he'd be worried sick the whole day when lily would mention you didn't eat or sleep because of homework and tests. you were partially the reason why he trashed one of your professor's class notes, using a spell to translate it into a language he didn't understand, making the test everyone dreaded delayed for a week.
remus says he finally developed a crush, the type where he didn't only like you because he felt like it was a challenge. james says he's severely whipped for you and how he'd kiss the ground you walk on. not including james' overexaggeration, he didn't deny any of their words.
sirius was concerningly and overwhelmingly enamored by you, it makes him question if this was even natural.
he recognized the potion book you were studying. he had the same copy in his little library inside the dorms. he reaches for the book from your lap, holding it. despite sirius' gut telling him not to wake you up so you'd have more sleep, professor mcgonagall would have his head if he didn't.
"hey, love." the nickname rolled off his tongue like nothing. you hummed at the sound of his voice.
he gently taps your cheeks, making you stir in your half-asleep state before fully opening your eyes. the sight of him surprised you, "black? what are you doing here?"
he chuckles at your hoarse voice. "long story short, the professor wanted me to wake you up before your next class starts." the mention of class somehow woke you up, your hands searching for the hard object you left on your lap. sirius notices and shows you the book in his hands.
"you're studying for potions? didn't we just have a text last week?" he asked, giving you back your possession.
"no, that was two weeks ago. we have a test later—" you stop yourself from speaking, looking at the long haired boy with furrowed eyebrows, and say, "don't tell me you didn't study?"
this caught sirius off guard, laughing awkwardly at himself and shaking his head. "it seems i'm a bit fucked here, darling. i didn't study an inch." he was too busy recalling the test from two weeks ago to notice the blush on your face at the nickname.
you went down the window ledge, hugging the book to your chest. "then let's hope professor slughorn will let you sit next to me."
"are you saying you'll let me cheat off of you?" sirius sneakily wraps his arms around your shoulders as he asks. you coughed into your hand before responding, stuttering with your words. "ye-yes. i mean, you did help me with that project in d.a.d.a so it's the least i can do for you."
he walks out of the office with you in his arms, sirius hoped you weren't too close to hear how hard his chest was beating at the contact. "i don't know... that project was almost half our grades in d.a.d.a." he looks in your direction with a smirk on his face. you were too quick to catch what he was trying to say.
"what do you want, sirius black?" you asked in faux annoyance, making the boy laugh.
it was an opportunity for him and he doesn't have any plans to let this go. "go with me to hogsmeade, heard they recently opened a coffee house inspired by the muggle world." his words made you stop.
your silence alarmed him, "well— only if you want to! it's not like i'm—"
"i'll go." you finally answered, your voice meak. this took sirius by surprise: "i've been craving to drink something else other than butterbear anyway."
sirius grinned, holding you even closer to him. "let's drink to our hearts content, shall we?" you nodded with a smile, looking up at him.
"hey, hey, leave some room for merlin in there!" james shouts from across the hallway, making remus and peter beside him cackle.

SWEET NOTHINGS — sirius black.
PAIRING sirius black x male!reader
SUMMARY after a long day of being apart, you and sirius accompany each other until you both fall asleep.
a/n: request didn't specify which gender to use so i decided to write something for my male audience (if there's any, hi). happy reading!
it only took five quaffles to the head to make you finally realize it was time to end quidditch practice. the sun was gone and the halls of hogwarts were quiet; that's how long you've been in the field for. can anyone blame you? there's two days left before gryffindor goes against with ravenclaw. your head was only focused on the game— strategies, techniques, positions, and everything else a captain needs to think about.
james, the star player he is, requested an early departure because of his missed classes, which you said yes to, despite the disagreement of the other team. they all knew how laid back you were whenever james was around. he usually carry the team's performance, but with him gone, you went all out, not just on them but on yourself as well.
in all honesty, you were exhausted.
mumbling the password to the fat lady, the coziness of the common room made you sigh in relief. the contrast between the cold weather outside and the warmth inside made you even more sleepy.
you could hear steps on the hard pavement, your eyes traveling to the familiar face of your lovely boyfriend. his hair was styled in a simple ponytail, with strands of hair on both sides of his face.
"good evening to you, captain." sirius teases, engulfing you in a hug. you could feel your sweat sticking to his arm, but you didn't push him away, instead tightening your grip on him. after a quick kiss to his cheek, your arms remain on his waist.
"has james gotten back yet?"
he scoffs, playfully, "talking about another guy in front of your own boyfriend?"
"might i remind you that guy is also your best friend, darling."
sirius shrugs, a sly grin on his face. you laugh at his actions before releasing your grip on him. "as much as i love standing in the middle of the common room with you, i still need to take a wash. i'm sweating down like a pig."
he chuckles, making his way upstairs, "charming."
.
.
.
when you went inside your room, a towel on your shoulders, you saw james, remus, and peter sleeping soundly in their respective beds— unlike sirius who lay comfortably on your bed. you smile at this, shaking your head. you thought you'd get used to it by now, but it was always a surprise to see him there, waiting for you.
he pats the space beside him when you walk up to him with a smirk, trying to contain your laughter.
"comfortable?"
"not quite," the black haired boy grabs your arm and pulls you towards him.
you land beside him with a silent yelp, "the bed felt empty without you." he didn't waste time cuddling with you, automatically making you the bigger spoon as he laid his head on your chest. the size of the bed with two of you on it left no choice but to remain holding one another— not that you're complaining.
"how was your day, siri?" you whisper to his ear, eyes closed. drowsiness was slowly overcoming your mind, making it a bit hazy, but tonight being the only time you guys had to properly talk without professors and practice interrupting; you refused to sleep.
"boring. we gave lucius a makeover, though."
you chuckle, remembering the slytherin walking down the halls angrily with dyed hair. "hot pink looks good on him. was that your idea?"
"no, it was peter's, said he wanted revenge for what the bloke did during potions."
"he's been taking a lot of revenge this past week; should we be worried?"
"he's going through puberty, let him be."
you couldn't catch your laughter this time, having to cover your mouth to prevent any noise. sirius' body vibrated against yours, trying to contain his laughter with you. the two of you calmed down after a while, staring into nothing in a comfortable silence.
you run a hand through your boyfriend's locks, carefully taking off the tie. sirius sighs, snuggling closer.
"d'you know you give the best hugs, siri?" you muttered, still combing through the said man's hair. this made sirius look up at you, who had a drowsy smile and half-lidded eyes. "it's addictive," you added, cupping his cheeks.
"better be, love. i've trained my whole life for this." he snorts, leaning into your touch. sirius cheeks squished onto your calloused hands, eyes closed, with his hair slightly draping over his face.
though you always say sirius looks angelic every day, he looks especially ethereal in your arms tonight. you can't help but press your lips on his, catching him off guard for a second before he responds.
the kiss was quick yet sweet, it was enough for you to end the day. sirius was already sound asleep on your chest, and you could hear his quiet snores. your eyes slowly blink before fully closing, your head lying on sirius'.
.
.
.
you were awoken by someone slightly shaking you, and your name was called. you turn your head to look at whoever was waking you, seeing remus in his casual clothes with his arms closed.
"good morning, lovebirds." he greets you, "sorry for bothering, but james has been bothering me to wake both of you up so we can leave for hogsmeade."
right, you almost forgot about that. your eyes land on the boy resting on your chest, still asleep.
you caress sirius' cheeks, tapping them lightly. his eyes slowly began to open, "what's going on?"
"we're going to hogsmeade today, remember?" you answer, tucking a stray strand of hair behind his ears. he hums, "don't worry, i forgot about that too."
sirius stood up, stretching his body. "goodmorning, handsome."
you gave him a sly smirk, amused at the nickname. "good morning to you too, beautiful."
