As you curled your body into the fetal position you let out a sigh of relief. This was the only position in the last two hours that hasn't felt like there were swords being stabbed into your stomach. You felt your shoulder relax and you finally closed your eyes. Ready to fall asleep when...

"YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHA- oh hi pretty girl" James exclaimed as he bursted through your dorm room door and into your room.

You groaned out in response, not wanting to talk feeling like it might disturb the perfect position you were in.

" Ok so I'm going to not be offended by that reaction to seeing me and move on. But you wouldn't believe what happened- wait, why do you look like death?" James continued and looked at your genuine concern.

" James" you never called him by his name unless you were upset or needed his attention. Most of the time it was pet names, most commonly, love.

His eyes went wide at the sound of his name. He stared at you for a few moments until he finally read the room.

"Awe is someone on their period" he said in a condescending tone, although you knew he was joking. James always had the perfect balance of doing whatever to make you comfortable during the time of the month but also being a brat about it.

Once again you just groaned in response. He walked over and sat on the bed next to you. With a loud oomph he settled in next to you.

" You know I heard working out helps with-" he began.

" Finish that sentence James Potter and it will be the biggest regret of your life" you spoke harshly and then groaned before turning to face him, pressing your face into his chest.

James held back his laugh at the dramatic switch from stern talking to whining in his arms. "Yes ma'am" he said with a hint of humor in his tone.

He began gently rubbing your back, applying enough pressure to calm down your body. Smiling when he felt your whole body relax.

" Love" you say quietly. James simply hummed in response.

" Do you want to finish telling me about your day? I didn't mean to cut you off before" you continue, feeling oddly emotional at the fact that you cut him off.

James smiled and began his wild story of his day, making sure to include all the mundane details. When you first started dating it was a little annoying and now it's just one of the cute things he does and doesn't realize it.

James stops mid sentence when you groan out, attempting to keep it quiet not to bother him. He stands up abruptly causing you to shift so you could see him.

There he was standing over your bed holding his hand out for you to take.

"Umm whatcha doing there sir" you say looking at his hand and then up at him.

" you are going to dance with me and you are going to like it" he replied simply, shaking his hand a little to draw attention to the fact that you still hadn't taken his hand.

" Such a romantic" you mumble as you grab his hand. Gasping lightly when you felt your body being quickly pulled and pressed against his.

As your head rest against his chest you mumbled, " why are we dancing in the middle of my dorm"

James was quick to respond with, "shhh let me be romantic woman"

Making you laugh. You sighed and allowed yourself to relax into his body, making him do most of the work, but he didn't mind.
