"Okay, okay." James' drunken laughter bombarded the Gryffindor common room.

"Shhh!" Remus giggled, whispering louder than necessary, "You're gunna wake the whole castle, Prongs."

"Oi! Sorry!" Another shot of firewhiskey burned down the back of James' throat. "Let's play then."

The circle of seventh year Gryffindors, all varying levels of tipsy, felt the buzz of excitement as an empty bottle was spun by the rambunctious Potter boy.

"Ohhhh"s overlapped with the sound of Sirius drunken laughter as the bottle came to a stop, neck aimed at Lily.

"Well," James looked into the girls eyes, "I guess that my cue to leave." He stood up tossing a wink in Lily's generally direction and attempted not to stumble away.

"Okay, so we all know where this is going right?" Sirius asked.

Remus only raises his eyebrows suggestively as Peter nodded with the handful of other 7th years either nodding or shrugging in agreement.

"Lily? You're on board?"

The ginger grinned with a hint of enthrallment in her eyes. "Absolutely."

"Oi, James! Get your sorry ass back here!"

The lanky boy plopped himself down in the circle, crossing his legs and leaning back on his arms.

"Lily," Sirius began. If you'll do the honors." Then in a slightly lower voice he added, "You might wanna close your eyes for this one, Prongs." James did as he was told.

Lily crawled toward the awaiting boy, making sure that James could sense her proximity before slowly skating her hand up his arm, fingertips leaving a trail of goosebumps, toward his face- then reeling back and slapping him hard enough that Peter flinched beside them.

"BLOODY OW-FUCK!" James burst back. "The hell was that for?" He yelled at his supposed friends beside him.

Remus only shrugged and giggled more, reaching for the bottle that sat behind Sirius. Lily smiled to herself, pleased with her work.

"I'll get you back for that," he threatened no one in particular as he began to massage his stinging jaw.

"Here," James rolled the empty bottle to the boy beside him as he sulked. " 's your turn, prat."

Sirius rolled his eyes and took the bottle, flicking the neck to start the spinning.

It teetered, slowing, passing the relaxed blonde Gryfindor and her pixie cut friend laying on her shoulder, neck coming to a stop pointed at the tipsy boy beside him: Remus.

The mandatory "ohhh"s rang out mixed with a few hearty laughs.

"Bye Sirius!" James sarcastically waved his friend out the door.

"Kiss!" Pixie girl exclaimed.

The group looked at her, her body curved around her friend she laid on, considering the suggestion. Beside them, Remus averted his eyes in leu of seeing the others reactions.

"That's bloody disgusting." Another voiced chimed. He snorted in distain and tilted back his bottle.

"Okay then," James interrupted the tenensing room. "That's one for kiss and one for slap. Anyone else?"

"I think it'd be funny. Kiss." A different boy added.

"I think it'd be hot. Also kiss." Pixie's blonde pillow said, high fiving her friend.

"Kiss."

"Kiss."

"Not kiss."

"Slap."

"Slap."

They continued around the circle, Remus internally holding back from tapping with anxiety, Peter nervously joining the majority while James pridefully chose kiss.

"And so it is decided," Lily jested. "I'll get Siri."

Sirius strode in and took his seat. "That took fucking forever," then turning to Remus to bite his lip and raise an eyebrow excessively, "I hope you'll make it worth the wait." He clicked his tongue and winked. It would have felt cute and maybe even intimate if it weren't for the crowd staring their way.

Remus drew a short breath and exhaled, throwing up his half drunken look of confidence. "Well c'mon then if your so ready for me. Close your eyes," he taunted.

If it weren't for the crowd. Merlin, his lips mockingly puckered up and those long dark lashes.

Maybe it was the alcohol or maybe it was just at that he was a horny teenager or maybe a combination of a million other things- it didn't matter.

Remus would later say he agreed with the boy who thought it be funny and maybe cover with I didn't want to slap poor drunken Sirius. No matter the reasoning, with a quick tuck of his head, Remus dipped down, pressing his lips between his friends, and quickly pulling back, dragging Sirius' lower lip with him, leaving Sirius wide eyed and short on air.

Remus knew he should feel a heavy heat on his cheeks and neck, that he should be embarrassed, but definitely more than tipsy Remus didn't care. Instead of acknowledging the stunned and slightly turned-on faces around him, he sat up straight and scratched his head in mock confusion.

"Wait a second was it kiss or slap? It must have been one of those," he muttered.

"James? He turned to his friend across the circle. "Was it kiss or slap that I was assigned? I can't quite remember."

James' face flicked from shock to a knowing smirk. "Certainly wasn't kiss, I can tell you that."

"Oh yes, that's right." Before dazed and hammered Sirius could process the words floating around him, a sharp pain across his face threw him back into reality.

"FUCK! Fucking FUCK!" He stenches his jaw and held his cheek, staring at Remus in betrayal. "Ow!" He yelled more from confusion than pain.

"Oh you're fine, you baby." Remus downed another shot.

Around them the circle of Gryffindors sat in various states of amusement.

The game moved on after a couple jabs at each of them and the night faded as exhausted students dragged themselves back to their dormitories.

Eventually, the four self proclaimed Maunderers found themselves tucked in their respective beds, some more drunk than others.

"Remi?"

"What," he grumbled, half asleep.

"It's cold. Join me."

"No."

"Please?"

"Fuck off."

"You're mean."

"Yeah and you're a poofter if we're just stating facts."

"I know you are but what am I?" Sirius giggled.

"Oh my god, can you guys please shut the fuck up." James groaned, seemingly already at the hangover stage.

"I'll shut up when Remi comes join me. Be my human hear source."

"Remus," James pleaded. James

"Cuddle with me, Moony."

"I'm already in bed. I'm not getting out its fucking cold."

"Exactly. We can share our bodies with each other. Sorry-body heat with each other." Sirius reasoned followed by the sound of his tongue clicking.

"You're a terrible flirt."

"Remus please for Merlin's sake!" James begged. "He's never gunna shut up!"

"And you owe me for the domestic abuse earlier," Sirius argued.

"I hate all of you." He pushed his covers of and walked passed Peter's and James' beds, over to Sirius' and quickly sought shelter under the covers.

For all the grumbling and complaining, it was warmer with his friend beside him. They lied face to face, not that they could make out any features on the darkness.

"Remus?" came a whisper.

"Yeah?" He replied, his heart beat rising by the second.

"You know I am actually, you know, a poofter."

Remus snorted at his drunk friend. "Yeah Siri I know. You told us years ago."

"I did? And you're okay with that?"

He sighed and reached out to hold his friends arm. "Yes Siri. I like boys too remember?"

"Oh. That's good."

When Sirius added nothing else, Remus let his eyes flutter closed, moving closer to sleep.

"Remus?"

Remus groaned. "What."

"Why'd you kiss me?"

"Because I wanted to. Can I go to sleep now?" He complained but it would have been a lie to say he wasn't more than a little interested in where this conversation was headed.

"Oh yeah. Sorry. Goodnight, lovie."

"Goodnight," he sighed, half relived, half disappointed.

"Hey Remi?"

"Yes?" He replied immediately.

"Do you still want to kiss me?"

Remus paused.

"That and much more, Padfoot."

Sirius slipped his arm away from Remus' hand that rested on it. He rolled over to the far side of the bed away from Remus, causing a slight panic from the other boy.

"What- Sirius-"

Sirius grabbed his wand from the stand beside his bed and began muttering quite spells.

"Sirius what are you doing?" He whisper yelled.

"There." Sirius said at full volume.

"Shhhh. James will kill us."

"Silencing charm."

"Oh." Remus stated, dumbfounded.

"So what was that about kissing me and much more?"

Remus laughed and pulled Sirius back toward him.

"I fucking love you."
