A seriously Potter christmas (oneshot med James och Sirius)

Tja! Vanligtvis skriver jag på min fanfiction om Albus och Grindelwald, men det är ju så sorgligt jämt att jag kände att jag behöver en paus. Plus att jag ville göra något med jultema och samtidigt öva upp min ringrostiga engelska! Enjoy!

Namn: A seriously Potter Christmas
Pairing: James/Sirius, lite James/Lily
Kapitel: Oneshot, så inga fler än detta.
Språk: Engelska
Rating: Vet inte riktigt, 12?

James Potter was enjoying himself with his long legs stretched out in front of him on the burgundy-colored couch, making it impossible for anyone else to have a seat there without asking. Not that they would, anyway. He was THE Potter after all, James Potter - commonly known as one of the most popular guys in Gryffindor. Even among other houses he had quite a reputation.

James smirked. He'd figured that even girls from Slytherin weren't too stuck-up once you got to know them so to say, very much to the dislike of the slytherinboys. People either adored James or feared him to some extent. Well; almost everyone, that was.

James caught Lily Evans fiercely green gaze, but she quickly looked away, her red hair gleaming in the light from the blazing fireplace. Whatever. She would give in, eventually. James always got what he wanted, and he really wanted her. The know-it-all-Evans-girl. Well. This was just one Christmas Eve among a few yet to come, and James was thinking that some firewhiskey and his own charm would work its magic, so no need to hurry.

No hurry. James was cosy enough in the warmth of the fire, as he was lazily watching snowflakes chasing eachother outside, frost lacing the borders of the window. He was also slightly drunk, with the fumes from the firewhiskey he and Sirius had gotten their hands on like a haze over his mind.

Talking about Sirius. Where was he, anyway? He hadn't quite been himself lately, moping around like he did. Very much like Remus, now when James got to think about it. But even Remus and Peter had happily engaged themselves in the snowball war earlier that day, while Sirius had seemed somewhat distant and absent-minded.

"Ah, there you are!" James said heartily as Sirius suddenly strolled into the room. His face was handsome as ever, and his hair long, thick and shiny. Of the two of them, Sirius seemed to attract the "deeper" girls, with that air of mystery that surrounded him, even though he spent most of the time fooling around with James.

"Yeah, you know. Just fetching som treats from the kitchen", Sirius replied, and handed his prey over to James so that he could inspect it. It consisted of several pastries, butterbeer and some ham, which was very suitable for broiling over the fire.

"That's so nice of you, servant" James said cheekily, but Sirius just shook his head with a faint smile. James pulled up his legs beneath him, making place for his best friend.

How lucky I am, Sirius thought to himself. How lucky I am to be one of the few James would ever move out of the way for. But Sirius' guts twisting inside of him didn't quite seem to agree. He didn't feel very lucky, rather the opposite actually. The christmas spirit seemed to have missed him completely.

"S''the matter with you, Black?" James asked, eying Sirius who simply stood sheepishly on the floor.

"Uh, nothing", Sirius answered and placed himself on the couch beside James with a heavy thud. They munched on their feast in silence, while the gryffindors around them yawning went up to bed, one after the other. Sirius couldn't help but noticing how James followed Lily with his warm, brown eyes as she left the common room after having said goodnight to everybody, but avoiding specifically to even look at James.

After a while they were the only ones left in the dull common room. Shadows were making obscure patterns on the red wallpaper, and the crackling from the fire was accompanied by the whining from swirling winterwinds. Both Remus and Peter had left earlier the same day to celebrate christmas, but James and Sirius had figured they'd rather stay at Hogwarts this year.

"So, what's up?" James said with his head tilted backwards and his eyes half-shut.

"Nothing, really", Sirius replied avoidingly, but James knew him to well to settle with that.

"Really?"

James leaned towards Sirius, not able to keep the disbelief out of his voice.

"Got a heart tainted by that cruel thing they call love?" James said dramatically, trying to cheer Sirius up.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that", Sirius sighed.

"Someone i know?" James asked.

"Very much so."

"No offence Sirius, but if it's Snivellus I do think I have a reason to be a bit concerned", James said jokingly, and finally Sirius smiled, a genuine smile.

"You're a jerk Potter. And a dumb one on top of that. But no. I'm serious."

"And I'm James, nice to meet you!"

James reached out to shake Sirius hand, but Sirius made a small gasp at the touch, as though he'd been burned.

"What.... What d'you do when you're in love with someone who doesn't love you back?" Sirius said quietly.

"Not that that would ever happen to me", James said, overly confident as always. "But I guess you'll just have to bear with it and you'll come around eventually."

James patted Sirius shoulder with a bit of hesitance in his movement.

"Mistletoe", Sirius said, gazing upwards through his jet-black eyelashes.

"Seems like it", James answered. "But I don't believe in mistletoes. They're stupid. I'll just kiss whoever I want whenever I want to! As always, I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."

"You can't do that James, you -" Sirius began to say, but suddenly he got interrupted when James moved even closer to Sirius, placing a kiss on his lips. Sirius stiffened at first, but a stream of heat flooded through his body and made his limbs strangely relaxed.

Sirius tilted his head towards on side, parting his lips questioningly. James replied by placing a hand on Sirius chest, forcing him to lay down on his back, his tongue moving with curioisty.

It was rather odd, kissing his best friend like this, but not unpleasant. But not like James thought it should feel either, if it was meant to be. Sirius sensed it too through the kiss. It was painful to know that James would never love him like that, and there was something in his kiss that was almost apologizing.

"I would, Sirius, but..."

Sirius placed a finger on James lips to hush him, and ran his fingers through his best friend's messy ravenhair once.

"I know James. It's okay."

James bit his lower-lip, leaned in one last time and barely touched Sirius lips with his own.
"Merry Christmas, Sirius", he whispered into the other boy's mouth, before he straightened himself up, leaving the room without his usual cockiness.

"Merry Christmas", Sirius mumbled after James had already left, while checking his watch and confirming that it was indeed Christmas Day.

It had been one of the most painful moments in his entire life Sirius decided, still lying on the couch. But he was also somewhat grateful towards the spirits of christmas, for giving him this very unexptected and bittersweet gift. As Sirius fell asleep, he lost himself in thoughts of James and their first and last kiss. The merciful oblivion of sleep swallowed him whole, and the mischief was managed.
