REQUEST. : this might be a dumb question but are the marauders also all in a poly relationship with each other? if so, i'd love one where the reader finally has that realisation and gets all blushy and starts to consider if they'd ever want to include her

Hearing James giggling fills your chest with warmth and is so contagious that you have to bite your lip so as not to join him. He sees your resistance and moves his hand, making you freeze up and stop all movement. His index finger curls under your chin to lift your gaze as his thumb settles on your bottom lip and slowly draws it out from the press of your upper teeth.

"I can't be the only one laughing, angel," on his face is an innocent smile but you know he's devilish — the raging fire he lights up inside you with the smooth delivery of his simple statement is evidence enough that he's up to no good.

His light grasp offers barely any resistance when you lift your chin away, "that's because I'm not ticklish like you,"

"Hey now," he warns firmly but you can see the mutual playfulness reflecting clearly in his hazel eyes, it was like staring into clear honey, "you're the one who's colouring in my tattoo like a toddler,"

"I was bored," you defend a little too quickly, getting huffy and exaggerating a pitiful pout. It was... a sight, James admits in his head; you look adorable like this and he wants to frame the image in his memory forever, "and besides, you agreed to it,"

"Yeah, so don't tease me about being ticklish," his hand reaches up to play with a strand of your hair before he leans down to press a kiss onto your forehead, where you feel his mischievous smile lift up the corner of his lips, "instead, tell me how much you love to hear my laugh,"

There's no way you'll ever admit that. Not to his face, at least...

"Woah, comfy are we?~" came the familiar teasing voice of Sirius, who walks into the room and almost has his eyes bulging out at the sight of you and James, "you lucky bastard, Prongs," Sirius clicks his tongue but there's no malice in his eyes or tone, "shirtless, all relaxed and cool, leaning back into the sofa with our doll on your lap and colouring in your tats," your cheeks heat up under your skin when a shameless expression takes over James's face and he sends a wink over at his fellow tattooist.

"I guess I saved the universe in a past life," James chuckles, receiving an eye roll in return.

"And you, princess," Sirius whistles playfully and leans down to kiss the crown of your head, "how lucky you are to have such well-sculpted muscles and a handsome face entertaining you," the heat on your cheeks continue to blossom, "I don't know who I'm more jealous of,"

That was the first time you were hinted at Sirius's dichotomy. Between the wink he sends James and the satisfied grin the glasses-wearing brunette returns, you felt a slight shaking in your heart that you couldn't quite place.
