Chapter Text
Sebastian lay wrapped in his emerald green sheets, unable to sleep that night. He turned his head to the four-poster next to him. Empty. Where could Jim be? He said he was just going for a walk. He should be back.
The dormitory door creaked open, “Hey Seb. Can I slither in?” Jim whispered, a smile slowly spreading across his face.
“Shut up Jim, you’ll wake everyone up, and that pun is ridiculous. Where have you been?” Seb moved over as Jim sat down next to him.
“I told you, I was on a walk.”
“For two hours?”
“I was thinking.”
“About what?”
“Everything, I can’t just think about one thing,” he paused, “You know, I saw Holmes with his boyfriend sitting by the lake… he infuriates me.”
“Come downstairs. We’re going to wake everyone up.” Seb grabbed Jim’s hand and led him downstairs, “okay, why does he infuriate you?” He asked, even though he already knew the answer.
“Why does he waste his time with ordinary people? His mudblood boyfriend and that Hufflepuff Hooper. I’m glad he’s not a Slytherin. Aren’t you Seb?”
“Yeah, because if he was a Slytherin I’d have to compete for your attention even more with him.”
Jim stretched out across the silky couch and laid his head in Seb’s lap.
“You know I love you Seb, you don’t need to compete for my attention.”
Seb laced his hands into Jim’s hair and began to play with it, “I know. I love you too you idiot. We should go back to bed. I have a quidditch game tomorrow and I want to hit Watson out of the sky.”
“And that’s why I love you.” Jim jumped onto Seb’s back, wrapping his arms around his neck and legs around his torso as they retreated into their dormitory for the night.
