James woke up with a heavy head and an unearthly pain below his waist. Wincing as he sat up and adjusted himself on the uncomfortable hospital wing beds and stretched his arms. He could feel both his legs again but they both felt incredible bruised. To his left he could hear the distinct mumbles of Sirius's sleep talking.

"No Minnie it tickles stop" Sirius said in a groggy voice letting out girlish giggles. Normally James would wake is friend and tease him about his 'McGonagall sexy time' dreams, but James could hear the distinct footsteps of Lily Evans coming his way. He did the only thing he saw fit. He pretended to be asleep.

What am I doing?! Its four in the morning and I'm sneaking into the hospital wing to see Potter? Getting closer and closer she finally reached Potter's bed and let out a heavy sigh that she had been holding in all day. He lay there asleep a slight amount of drool had accumulated on the left side of his pillow and had dried up on his cheek. Lily had seen James asleep a few times, in the common room and in ancient runes but he never looked this peaceful. His long black hair wasn't entwined with his fingers but delicately resting on his pillow and his big stupid mouth was closed and only opened to let out air not ask her out every 5 minutes.

"why can't you always be this way? Why can't you be beautiful and peaceful actually listen like this when your awake?" lily asked knowing the answer would be something cheesy and embarrassing. "why am I here with you" Lily looked down at her watch "At FOUR in the morning" she yelled slightly getting a small whimper from James.

"mmmmmmm shake your booty for me Minnie" moaned Sirius in the next bed startling Lily and making her let out a loud giggle which she swore James chined in with as well.

Lily looked down pitifully at the boy who wouldn't leave her alone and sighed as she relaxed into the chair next to his bed and smiled as he let out a quiet snore.

James laid in his bed pretending to be asleep until he actually did fall asleep drowning out any sounds of Sirius's moaning and instead dreaming of Lily as per usual. He woke up to Lily's head against his shoulder snoring lightly. James started at her in awe not used to her showing an emotion apart from anger and disappointment. As James sat up in his bed he smirked at the girl of his dream and imagined himself spending many more mornings like this one. He couldn't help himself as he shifted his arm down along the bed frame until it was on top on Lily's. To James's surprise his sleeping beauty entwined her short, soft fingers around his own hand, not missing a single beat Sirius Jumped out of his bed and onto James's.

Surprising James and waking Lily, Sirius decided to yell just to make sure he had done the job right.

"Gooooood morning Prongsie-poo" Sirius gave James a friendly slap and reached over to stroke Lily's face, "and of course the beautiful Evans" she slapped his hand away quickly stopping whatever Sirius had on his mind. "that was just plain rude Evans and to think I was going to..." Sirius paused not being able to continue as his eyes landed on the couples entwined fingers.

"NO! No no no no no way is this possible!!! Prongs I always thought you were too much of a poof to make a move" Sirius Yelled not being able to contain himself, he jumped up on to the bed stepping on James's legs and crotch.

"Fuck" James exclaimed in pain, "Sirius calm the frickity frack down it meant nothing we were asleep I had no control over my body" James tried to reason while his voice when up a few octaves.

Lily only just catching on to what the boys were talking about pulled her hand away from Potter and blushed a bright scarlet in embarrassment. "Merlins beard I fell asleep next to Ja.. Potter, Did Potter do this while I was asleep?" Lily asked herself, confused by why her hand was anywhere near Potter's in the first place.

Ignoring Lily's angry looks James used both hands to nurse his now non-existent private parts back to normal while Sirius continued to cause a scene.

"what did I say, I knew this would happen, I bet money on it" Sirius paused and stuck his hand out towards James, who raised a blank eyebrow "I bet money you two would get together" Sirius answered lazily.

"you didn't bet me! that was Peter!" James exclaimed not wanting to give away a single knut.

Lily now completely caught up on the situation grabbed a magazine from the bed side table and made her way towards to exit.

"Lily come back, he didn't mean it like that" James yelled trying to find any excuse for her to stay even a second longer.

"Goodbye Potter" she replied not looking back.

"don't worry Prongs, she'll be back, she wants some of your manly hunk" Sirius added trying to make him feel better but only insulted him.

Lily hearing this statement, spun on her heel and made her way back over towards the two bellowing boys, rolling the magazine into a bat in her hands.

"what did I say Prongs, she wants your James meat" Sirius said as he reclined onto the chair Lily had been sleeping on, stretching out quite comfortably.

**WHACK!

Rung through the hospital wing, well at least through Sirius's ears it did.

"consider me a vegetarian then" James watched as Lily turned on her heel once more and strode out through the large wooden doors heading straight for Alice after she washed Potter off her hands.

Sirius clutched his ears and fell to the ground, erupting in loud barking laughs. Tossing and turning on the ground led his barking laughs to become boyish giggles. Looking over at prongs sulking face led Sirius to stop his teasing and reason with the boy, "Mate there is no point she's as stubborn as a Hippogriff, you'd have better luck with the giant squid than Evans" Sirius shrugged trying to make James understand.

"Nope"

"that's the spirt you just...... nope?"

"I'm not giving up"

"Jammmmes she not worth it" Sirius rolled over and jumped onto James's bed looking at him with pleading eyes.

"she is" James said knowing that in his heart he belonged with Lily Evans. It was weird that Sirius didn't want him with lily since he and lily were actually good friends.

Sirius hopped off the bed took one last sad look at his mate with disappointed eyes knowing that this was going to end badly, "fine, but first we have potions"
