You were sitting on James' bed while Remus across from you on his own. You've never been so thankful for his brain then you were in this moment. You were struggling hard core with this one spell and you knew James would drop everything to help you which is exactly why you didn't ask him for help. You didn't want him to drop everything and help you, you wanted him focused on quidditch and the season that is coming to end. So remus was the next choice and you were so thankful for his willingness and his patience. Because wow. You are no where near dumb but just for some reason this one spell is just impossible for you to figure out.

You finally got it and jumped up on the bed and put your hand sup in victory just as James was walking in. He took one look and laughed and then looked at remus and laughed harder because whatever the two of you were doing it was great because you both were smiling.

"Whats going on here?" James said, still laughing lightly.

"Nothing" you jump back down to a sitting position on James bed.

"You are terrible at lying," James said setting down his gear and taking off his shirt to find a clean one.

" I am not" you say as he puts his new shirt on and walks over to you.

"Wanna do something crazy" raising an eyebrow.

" always" you reply with a smile, excited to see what he might have in store.

"Tell me the truth" there wasn't an ounce of frustration or anger or even impatience in his tone but you couldn't help but feel guilty and just small.

"Remus was helping me figure out a spell i've been struggling with"

"Why didn't you ask me to help?" James said, again with nothing but love and curiosity in his tone. When you would make eye contact he heard him say something along the lines of give us the room and you heard rustling by Remus's bed and then the door shut.

James sat down next to you. Gently moving your body so your head was resting on his shoulder. He gently placed his hand on your thigh, just a simple way to show whatever you were thinking up in your head was wrong and he wasn't mad or upset and that he still loved you.

"Why didn't you ask me to help with the spell" he asked again, hoping for a different answer than just no eye contact.

" I- I didn't want to bother you. I don't like taking your attention away from quidditch" you gave up hiding the truth and just came right out with it. You heard James sigh and press a kiss to the top of your head. He gave your thigh a gently loving squeeze.

After he did those things he said, " as much as I appreciate your thoughtfulness, I genuinely do. I am really busy with quidditch, I just want you to know that you absolutely come before it. If you need something you need to know that you come before this sport-"

You cut him off " but quidditch is your life"

He was quick to respond with " no quidditch is a sport I love. You are my life" his tone was full of seriousness and love. He moved his hands so they were cupping your face, forcing you to look at him.

" I will always choose you over quidditch. And in this situation, I probably would have said to ask Remus first to see if he can help and if he can't then I will. But I don't want you not coming to me because you think it's a bother. You know i'm always honest with you. Right"

" Right" you reply to his speech.

" I love you " he said, pressing a kiss to your forehead.

" I love you too" you replied. Smiling as he leans in to kiss you.

Pulling apart he said, " show me the spell. I assume I interrupted a celebration of you getting it?"
