"MOONYYYYYY" That's how Remus knew the peace was over.
The run James had to make from the common room to their room gave him enough time to mark the page in the book he was reading and put it aside, but not enough time to sit up or stand up, so suddenly he found himself with a lap full of James.
“Yes Prongsie?” This position was expected well in to their seventh year, after all, James was the one who taught them about physical affection, and were Sirius and him were still a bit shy and unsure when dealing with touching people, James was a bludger, putting himself in others space and touching them once he knew they were okay with it. And Remus was okay with it, that had been made clear in second year when they found out about him, except for the week of the full moon.
“I have a request for you” He was beaming, a smile taking up his entire face. Remus only lifted his eyebrows motioning for him to continue. “I want to-”
“Leave him alone Prongs” Sirius was panting as he closed the door and fell against it trying to catch his breath.
“Pads what-” He tried to push James off and go to Sirius but as soon as he got rid of him he had him back already, this time he was straddling his knees and his hands pushed him back to the beadboard.
“I want to know if it’s true” Remus did not dignify that with an answer, James knew he was being vague. “Moonyyy” He was whining now, he didn’t want to have to say what he wanted to know if it was true.
“Words James, you know how to use them, so please do so” It wasn’t his beathroom voice but still he saw Sirius reaction on his peripheral, it was in fact a variation on a phrase Remus had used many time with Sirius in situations much more compromising than the one he currently found himself.
“So, I was talking with our beloved Padfoot when he revealed some precious information that I need to corroborate.” James was practically bouncing in his legs and Remus couldn't avoid the laugh that came out of him when Sirius stood up and pushed James away, making him fall off the bed.
“Shut up James” Sirius was pouting, something he only did in the safety of their presence.
“Explain” It was not a request, Sirius knew that.

“I love Moony, but we know that you have not had a proper relationship that lasted more than a week, ever. And don’t you dare say Emmeline, because she distracted you with sex or tears everytime you wanted to break up with her” James added when he saw Sirius trying to rebute his previous statement. “So what is it, you can’t say it's because he is hot, I know that already, but you’ve had the best looking portion of the school at your will and it never lasted with any of them”
“I love him” He had not said that to Remus yet, but James was not Remus and confessing it to James only made it more real “He makes me happy, he makes me calm, he makes me think before I act but he also makes me let go and just let myself be, I like the person I am when I am with him and well… you know we were sleeping together before we got together, but from the moment he kissed me I was done for, the ummm, physical aspect of our relationship” James snickered “Fine, the sex. It’s like a million euphoric charms hitting you at once, it’s mental mate, you have no idea, it’s… indescribable”
“Yeah well there’s sentiment, but we have to be realistic, if you weren’t as infatuated as you are with him, would you still feel the same about it?"
“I mean yeah, he has the equipment and he surely does know how to use it”
It had taken a while for them to talk this freely about sex after Sirius came out, but now they were used to it.
“Yeah yeah, size doesn't matter and all of that, but you and I know that is crap, so, I’m going to do this” James said putting his pointer fingers together and pulling them apart slowly “And you are going to tell me when to stop”
Sirius turned red and kept quiet as James went along, when James thought he had gone too large already he looked at Sirius for confirmation.
“You need to tell me when to stop, idiot” He reestarter, this time he went excruciatingly slow, intervaling between looking at his fingers and Sirius’ face for if not verbal confirmation, at least visual one. He went well above average and he watched Sirius look at his fingers red as a tomato and then suddenly bite his lip. That made James stop. He looked down at his hands in disbelief and then back up at Sirius who was now biting his thumb.
“Padfoot, you… you’ve got to be kidding me” It was almost a whisper but he knew Sirius had heard him.
Before Sirius could swallow the knot in his throat James was running away. It took him a minute to understand what was happening but when he did he bolted behind James as fast as he could, but the bastard was fast and he used the mornings before breakfast to run around the school as fast as he could, so he had the endurance to make it to the top of gryffindor tower in one go. Now he thought about every morning in which James had asked him to go running with him, but still he couldn’t regret telling him no, because staying in bed longer meant more time cuddling up to Moony, and that was something he could not make himself regret, no matter how much he wanted to.

“Well… what do you say Moons” James said from the floor when Sirius finished.
“Well Pads, it’s up to you” That was an answer that Sirius was not expecting and his next words proved Remus' observation.
“Whatever do you mean”
“I’m fine with showing myself to James here, but if you are not okay with it then I won't do it”
“We can’t undress in front of others? I’ve, the showers… after practice, I-” Remus understood Sirius was new to - for a lack of a better word - serious relationships but even that was absurd.
“That’s a communal shower, darling, I’m not going to ask you to shower with clothes on” He only used that petname when he was being derisive, and fortunately enough that made Sirius relax. “But this is different, I’m undressing for someone else, with the intent of them looking, it’s not the same as coming out of the showers starkers or going skinny dipping in the lake after a few to many”
“Oh, okay” The words were small, and he could see James frowning at them, so he took the attention off of him and stood up.
“Yeah, okay. So decide Padfoot. Are you comfortable with it or not?”
“I love you” Remus could have jumped out of the windows and safe land with the feeling of Sirius love attached to him.
“I love you too” The confession was pulled out of his heart without him meaning to say the words, but he was glad, because he had been waiting for it, he had known for two years that he belonged to Sirius, now he had words to confirm that Sirius was his too. The immediacy of his response relaxed Sirius so he took his hace in his hands and kissed him.
“Do it” Sirius muttered as they separated, which earned him another kiss.
Sirius let go of his jumper and stepped back as Remus took the button of his trousers and undid it, he took them completely off but only pulled his pants low enough to show James what he wanted to see.
“Wow” the word was mixed with the inhale James did but he collected himself quickly “that doesn't count, he is soft” He aimed for cool and calm, but Remus had spend his life reading people, and James was easy, he was affected, very deeply so. Noting his refusal to stand up and get rid of the cover the bed provided in his lower regions.
“Make a show love” Sirius took the three steps necessary to be standing in front of Remus and then fell to his knees.
