"PADS, IS THIS GONNA COME OFF?"
"It won't if you don't stop squirming." Sirius Black chastised James Potter with a mighty firm tone, his hand on the boy's shoulder forcing him to sit still as he drew a star around his right eye with a stick of bold and dramatic eyeliner. They had been at this for nearly an hour since Sirius couldn't seem to draw a simple star correctly, leading the others to mill around the dorm hopelessly.
"Besides, if it doesn't work with water, just borrow one of your girlfriend's makeup wipes." Peter offered from where he was slumped on his mattress, one hand on his stomach and the other playing with his own blonde hair whilst he boredly stared at the ceiling. Remus hummed in agreement from his own bed, nose stuck in a book as they waited.
"She's not my girlfriend yet." James mentioned, sniffing a little and receiving a glare from the boy in front of him because of his scrunching nose. Sirius looked more threatening than usual with his Demon makeup on his face whilst he held a sharp stick a little bit too near James' eye; it made the boy in the chair take a deep breath at the look he was being given.
"You haven't asked her?" Remus looked up from his book, revealing the shapes around his eyes filled in with silver makeup whilst he raised his eyebrows at James who met his eyes through the mirror by his side.
"Well, you know, I...we've been...I guess that-" James tried to figure out a way to communicate the fact that he hadn't had a chance, they'd barely been alone together and he certainly hadn't had any time to put together a romantic gesture that Sherry deserved. "No. No I haven't."
He watched the mirror to gauge his friends reaction; Remus nodded slowly and tried to control the widen of his eyes at this news. Peter glanced up from his bed, confused at the topic whilst Sirius didn't bother to chip in as he held the lid of the eyeliner in his mouth and delicately drew on James' face to complete their costumes.
"I thought you were already together. Haven't you kissed?" The boy on the bed asked, James couldn't even take him seriously with the whiskers painted on his face in the form of the rockstar he was dressed as.
"Well I mean I'd like to think that that makes us kind of official. As in I hope she's not been with anyone else." James mumbled, looking like that thought had only just crossed his mind as he frowned a little. "But it doesn't mean she's my girlfriend, for that you need to ask. You can't just assume, and the pleasure of hearing Sherry say 'yes, James, I will be your girlfriend' will be just heavenly. So yes I need to ask."
"Plus, it's not like it'll have any repercussions. Worst case scenario she says she already thought they were dating, tiny bit of embarrassment for Prongs, over and done with." Remus offered and James gestured over to him in agreement but refrained from nodding his head in fear of Sirius yelling at him. "But, if James assumes they are dating but she doesn't think they are then things will take a much worse turn. He won't ask, she won't feel appreciated, next thing you know James is getting beaten up by the next boy that falls in love with Sher."
