Love You To The Stars| JEGULUS

Tw: little kisses, fluff :D

James (first person) POV:

This morning has been quiet. Too quiet. Yes, it is my birthday, but usually they would wake me up, screaming 'happy birthday!' But now it is silent as everyone sleeps. The morning fog hangs like a necklace around Hogwarts, all around the window like lace.

The blankets are warm, making me vulnerable to move. I want to get up but I decide against it. I shift my head to see the clock on my bedside; 5:27. Ah. So that is why. It hasn't reached seven yet.

They sleep peacefully and the room is silent but their soft snores. This breaks when the door moves. I get up now, startled. Who would be opening our dorm door? And when everyone is sleeping? Am I seeing things?

A figure slips in and closes the cracked door. By the sounds of the footsteps, the person is small and light. I watch the shadows move as the morning light hasn't peeked yet. There is no fear in me, surprisingly. I would think there would be, but there isn't. I expect my eyes to adjust to the room, but I am met with the still greys and blacks.

The smell comes to me before the person does. Mint.

Regulus.

Of course. Who else would it reasonably be? Sleep has made me delusional and irrational. A smile stitches my face as I open my arms just faintly. The figure strolls up to my bed and stops at the barrier between it and the room. He stays there, almost waiting.

"Hello, Reggie." I groggily get out.

"Happy Birthday, mon amour." He softly replies. (My love)

"Thank you." I smile, "Come cuddle."

"As I planned." He says, expectingly.

He moves into my open arms, creating a warmth between us. He snuggles in
to my chest. I feel him smile against me and hold his head, playing with his curls. A question occurs and I stop playing with his hair. He makes an unsatisfying sound, nudging his head into me. I scoff as he furrows his eyebrows.

"Why'd you stop?" He quietly whines.

"How did you get in the dorm?" I whisper.

"Remus. He told me the password and I told the Fat Lady that I needed my brother." He instantly whispers.

"Ah, but you really don't need Sirius, now do you?" I silently chuckle.

"No, just you. Always you, James." He sweetly, but tiredly replies.

My chest warms up as his words whisper into my ear. His hands trace small circles into my neck gape. He gently kisses my neck before pulling himself so our faces line up.

"It's just you. Forever and always, Reggie." I whisper.

He smiles once more, before cuddling into my neck, making my head lift up a bit. His eyes blink close, ready to fall asleep again. I need to remind him that Sirius, Remus, and Peter will wake me up.

"Mm. I don't really care so they can suck it up, I suppose." He responds.

I laugh quietly at his response.

"Oh yes. You do suppose so, don't you?" I tease.

"Oh, shut up!" He plays quietly.

"My birthday. So shush and sleep." I sweetly remind him.

I get a small "pft' and his arms wrap around my waist, lazily. He mumbles an incoherent sentence, so I ask what he said.

"I said, sleep now, you'll need it for the party, love." He says, again. (SLEEP-speak- NOW! RED! 1989! lol)
