Too Many Cooks
Part 18: Lemon Tea

After a while, Peter said, “I think James could use some more tea. Couldn’t you, James?”

Sirius raised an eyebrow. “Is that your way of saying you want to go down to the kitchens for a snack, Wormtail?”

Peter grinned rather sheepishly and nodded. “Order up!” He scribbled the note down on a slip of parchment before heading out.

As it was growing lukewarm, Sirius touched his wand to the basin of water to heat it up again. Then he jumped up onto the bed to sit beside James. He looked past James at Remus and smiled, as they both remembered being in the same position with James between them the night before when they’d been trying to lower their friend’s fever. This time, however, Sirius poked a little fun at his boyfriend. “So… chocolate chip cookies, huh?”

Remus laughed. “Had a rough night. Wanted some comfort food, all right?”

“I could do with some cookies,” James said with hope in his voice.

“We’ll see,” said Remus, sounding like an overprotective mother.

“One won’t kill him,” Sirius said.

“Maybe, but too much sugar isn’t good for him.”

“If it makes him happy, it’s worth a tiny little bit of risk.”

“I’m not risking James’ health over a cookie.”

“C’mon, Moony, it’s chocolate. You always say chocolate can heal almost anything.”

“Anything but a cold.”

HaChoo! HahChoo! Sniff! Edough!” James exclaimed, laughing until he coughed. “You two soud like ad old barried couble.” He coughed again. “It’s doe big deal. I just thought I’d ask.”

Remus knew it was a good sign that he was asking about food. But he still felt embarrassed by James’ comment and wished he could have a second alone with Sirius to speak with him about things. And kiss him. It felt like ages since they’d been snogging in the common room. From the look Sirius was giving, it seemed he felt likewise.

So when Peter arrived with the tray of food, and James was given a cup of hot lemon tea and a single cookie to dunk in it, Remus and Sirius took their chance to slip away, up to the top of the boys’ turret. “It still mystifies me that the professors allow us to use this space,” Remus said, as they climbed the stairs past all the other levels of dormitory rooms. “I mean, McGonagall must know about it, right?”

Sirius shrugged. “I can’t believe there’s much that gets past her. Maybe she thinks it’s just a cozy little nook for students to study in.”

Remus snorted. As much as he loved cozy little nooks and studying, even he had trouble believing that. “Since when have you ever seen anyone studying up here?”

Sirius slipped his hand into Remus’ as they mounted the last stretch of stairs. And a little thrill raced up Remus’ arm. They practically collapsed into the window seat, falling into the plush cushions and wrapping up in the tartan blanket there. It didn’t take two seconds for them to start snogging. They didn’t care if people outside could see them through the top window. They didn’t care if anyone walked in on them. They didn’t even care that they’d left James solely in Peter’s charge.

“Missed this,” Sirius said, in-between tongue-filled kisses.

“M-msised you,” Remus replied, as Sirius slipped a hand into his robes. “So much.”

“Me too,” Sirius agreed.

Time passed between them, filled with nothing but kissing, kissing, and more kissing. It took a while for them to pull away for a little breath. When they did, however, Remus moved closer to Sirius. “You know...” he said, softly, “James said you were more than sweet on me.”

Sirius’ eyebrows rose significantly. “Did he now?”

“Mmmhmm. James said you cared a lot for me.”

“I do,” Sirius said, eyes wide. “Honestly. Don’t you know that? You should know that without having to talk to Prongsy about our love life. Given the state of his at the moment, he isn’t one to give advice.”

With a gentle smile and a chuckle, Remus gave him another kiss. “Soon he’ll be just as happy with Lily as I am with you.”

Sirius kissed him back. And, quickly, they worked up to the heavy pace they were at a few minutes before. “Oh, Rem… I can’t wait to go to Hogsmede tomorrow with you.”

Remus agreed, moaning happily as Sirius’ hand conveniently fell into Remus’ lap. “We could use a break after this adventure with Prongs.”

Sirius slipped down a little, kissing Remus’ neck. “Absolutely. I’m exhausted already.”

Remus pressed himself right up against Sirius, gasping happily. “We should… take advantage now… and have a nap.”

“So right,” Sirius agreed, feeling Remus’ hand slide down his back. “Had a late night. Could do… with some rest.”

“Mmm.” Remus agreed. “Just after… we’re done here.”

“Exactly what I was thinking.” And he attacked Remus with such a strong kiss that Remus fell backwards laughing, and pulling Sirius with him.

Sooo enjoyed this. I'm always excited to see a new chapter of this story. I love the boys taking care of James and then having some alone time.
Had to read it in stolen moments with the kids around but it totally mad me happy.
