You dived across the bed squealing as the pillow James was aiming at your face nearly hit you. “Jamie!” you screamed “you can’t get me i’m your girlfriend!”
James grinned wolfishly at you, advancing on you again with the pillow “all’s fair in love and war, sweetheart.”
You were about to surrender to the loss when you felt a hand grasp your wrist and drag you behind the closest bed frame. In the tight space, squished between the frame and the wall you could hear Sirius’ hushed words. “Me and you, teaming up to take down James and Remus, what do you say?”
You grinned at him “I’d say you’ve got a deal pads.”
He handed you a small cushion from his bed and you raised your eyebrows when you saw it said “I’m the BLACK sheep of my family” on it. “Andromeda got me it when I ran away” he explained with a chuckle “to welcome me to the club.”
You laughed and grasped the cushion firmly in your hand “okay how do we do this?”
“On the count of five you get Rem and I’ll get Prongs, it’ll throw them off.”
You nodded and silently counted to five before leaping out from behind the bed frame and running straight at Remus. He yelped as you jumped and landed straight on his back hitting him squarely in the head with the pillow and making his lanky frame crumple to the ground. You stood up quickly and planted your foot firmly on his chest “do you surrender?” you called out in a mock commanding voice as you raised the pillow again.
Remus lifted his hand waving it lazily in the air “yes, bloody hell, yes. You knocked the wind right out of me.” you grinned and called out “sorry moons!” before dashing off to help Sirius with James.
He was having a much harder time getting your boyfriend to surrender. James was wrestling with him and trying to throw him off. When he saw you approaching though he smiled “Y/n/n! Give us a hand here, please babe?” you smiled secretly to yourself as you realised he must not have seen your dramatic takedown of Remus.
“Of course” you said and then you grabbed Sirius by the back of his shirt and dragged him from James. As you did so you gestured slightly to him, nodding at the pillow behind you and winking. Sirius took the hint and let himself be pulled away. James sighed in relief “thanks for having my back” he said and you nodded and pulled him to his feet.
Out of the corner of your eye you checked that Sirius had secured the pillow before pouting at James “kissie?” you asked and he leaned down to peck your lips sweetly. No sooner had they touched yours did Sirius leap out and deliver a brutal pillow smack to James’ torso. The boy let out a quiet ‘oof’ before falling to the floor. You put your foot on his chest and grinned toothily at him “do you surrender?” you asked.
“You were in on that?” he said, throwing a hand over his heart in dramatic betrayal. “All’s fair in love and war, Jamie” you replied innocently.
“You’re right” he agreed, “which is why if I’m going down, I’m taking you with me!” then he grabbed your ankle and tugged until you lost balance falling sprawled onto the carpet, half on James.
“Look at you falling for me” he teased and you crossed your arms grumpily “bite me Potter.”
“If you insist” he said and then he leaned forwards and kissed you, nibbling on your bottom lip and you melted into the kiss, tangling your hands into his messy hair to pull him closer.
A loud purposeful cough interrupted you both “still here” Remus said drily “we are still here.”
“Speaking of still being here” Sirius cut in loudly “technically I won the pillow fight, considering i’m the only one still standing, which means -”
You never did get to hear what it meant as Remus reached out and, like James had done to you, grasped his boyfriend’s ankle sending him sprawling to the floor. “Oh how the mighty have fallen” you teased, nudging your ex partner in crime with your foot.
Sirius sighed a little dreamily “worth it for moony” he said before leaning forwards to kiss him. This time it was you and James coughing hastily “also still here!” you said and James rolled his eyes “welcome to my world” he said wrapping a tight arm around you and pressing a loving kiss to your hairline.
You stayed cuddled up on the floor for a while, the four of you laughing and joking until you yawned and sat up. “These jeans are killing me” you said “i’m just gonna go change into my pyjamas.”
To your surprise James stood up with you, lacing his fingers with yours. “Let me get you some,” he said. “Oh don’t worry I brought some” you said but James stopped you again, a light blush dusting his cheeks as he looked down sheepishly. “I thought you could wear one of my shirts” he muttered nervously and you beamed, a grin lighting up your face. “Really?” you asked “you don’t mind?”
Remus chuckled, pausing playing with Sirius’ hair to point at James “he spent 30 minutes this afternoon going through his whole wardrobe trying to find the best one to give you.”
“And then he sprayed it with his cologne,” Sirius added.
James hid his face in his hands, the tips of his ears going red in his embarrassment “I hate you guys” he said. You giggled and gently pulled his fingers away from his face, planting a soft kiss on his palm. “I think it’s sweet” you said “I really wanna wear your shirt Jamie.”
When you emerged from the bathroom ten minutes later, dressed in one of James’ oversized shirts and surrounded by his familiar smell you saw the boys had pushed two of the beds together. “Welcome to your first proper marauder sleepover” James said, reaching out to you. You laughed, dodged his hand and jumped onto the bed “shotgun Remus!” you said curling up like a cat into his side.
“Hang on!” James said, outraged “I’m your boyfriend here, why aren’t you cuddling me?”
“Moony’s warmer” you said and Remus laughed and wrapped an arm around your shoulders.
“Oi boyfriend stealer” Sirius said “are you not even gonna throw her off moons?” Remus only shrugged so Sirius turned to James “let’s run away together Prongs.”
“Deal” James said, putting his arm around his best friend’s shoulders and sticking his tongue out childishly at you. After five minutes of Sirius laying on him and subsequently putting his entire dead weight on him, however, James changed his mind. “Moony” he groaned “come get your big lump of a boyfriend.”
“Only if you collect your girlfriend,” he said.
“Oi what did I do?” you asked in outrage.
“You won’t stop wriggling about, can’t you lie still?”
“She can’t,” James answered for you, “it’s cute though.”
You and Sirius switched places and he pressed a sloppy kiss to your cheek on the way and you laughed as you pushed him away “Siri you dog” you complained.
When you reached James he raised a haughty brow at you “come crawling back have we?”
“Only because I was forced” you teased. James reached over and tickled your sides and you shrieked and pushed his hands away “stop it” you giggled.
“Admit you love cuddling me” he said and you gave in. “Alright, alright Jamie you know I was teasing. You’re my favourite to cuddle.”
“Knew it” he said smugly and you rolled your eyes “dork.”
“Your dork?” he asked and you leaned in and pecked his lips “my dork” you agreed, butterflies fluttering in your stomach at the smile he gave you in return.
That night as you drifted off to sleep, tangled in a marauder sandwich with James’ arms wrapped firmly round your waist you thought it might just have been the best sleepover that you’d ever had.
