They'd fallen asleep at about one in the morning after going through everyones favourite films or well as many as they could. James had burrowed Barty's clothes to sleep in and had used the spare toothbrush that Regulus literally labelled to say 'James'. They spent about an hour and a half just chatting with eachother before everyone started to get hungry and then James and him went down to the kitchens to get a shit ton of snacks for an extended movie night. They managed to stay awake a few hours and then Evan went, James falling asleep not long after him and Barty spending half an hour whispering to Regulus before the both of them went to bed too.
Barty really didn't think it was possible for James' hair to get any messier but somehow it was. It was literally all over the place. How someone can have hair this messy, Barty doesn't know. But it was cute. James had just woken up five minutes previously and had immediately hidden his face in Barty's neck mumbling about a dream he had.
"Mornin' love," Barty said, waving his fingers in James' hair.
"Mornin', how long you been up?"
"Not long, maybe half an hour?"
"Wait what time is it?"
"Half nine."
"Jesus christ. I'm always up super fucking early what is this?"
"Ah its because you're here with me, of course."
"You know what, I think it is. I like sleeping here with you obviously not in a weird way."
Barty smiled, feeling James do the same. "I like you being here."

"Stay here longer please," Barty whined as James made to get up. James immediately flopped back down into Bartys arms feeling him trace patterns on his back.
He was still wearing Barty's clothes and had no plans to take them off anytime soon. Despite James being about an inch or two taller, they still fit loosely and comfortably and even the joggers fit well. If James could, he'd just steal every piece of clothing Barty owned but thought the better of it. They wouldn't smell like him if he did.
Barty had taken to playing with his hair whenever he could and James fucking loved it. He loved the little things in a relationship like wearing their clothes and cooking together and all of that normal coupley shit. He likes knowing the small things and being able to do things that he knows his partner would like. He likes showing them off and meet the friends type shit. He likes forehead kisses and rings and the circle on the back of the hand thing. He's only ever ibn a relationship for the long haul and while he falls hard it takes him a while to get fully used to a relationship and having a person. But when he does, god it's the best thing ever for him and hopefully his partner too.
"You alright there?"
"Yeah, did you hear the news?"
"What news?" Barty looked down at him skeptically, clearly coming up with hundreds of things James could be talking about.
"Lightyear, here let me show you."
"What the actual fuck," Barty said as soon as he had watched the trailer.
"I know right."
"The fucking animation style, James, what have they done to him?"
James laughed. "I don't know but they've made him really fucking ugly ain't they?"
"Yes! They've made him look so bad, I don't even care, that is horrible. There's no way people are gonna watch that shitshow."
"I don't know, it does seem popular." James grimaced at the words himself. He really hoped the movie would fail horrendously. But it's Toy Story and even though Toy Story 4 was a piece of shit, in his opinion, loads of people loved it.
"Don't say that. How can anyone even think of liking that rubbish?"
"No clue, sweetheart. It looks like a fucking train wreck."
Barty hummed, trailing his hand down from his hair to the back of his neck and finally under his chin, tipping his head up lightly and giving him plenty of time to back out. James' heart gave a jump, hoping that this was going in the direction he really hoped it was going in.
"You know that's my weakness, love." Barty took a pause before continuing, "Can I kiss you?"
James had barely said yes before the Barty was kissing him. And oh merlin. It was literally everything you could ever want in a kiss and Barty was holding his face so carefully, not like he would break but like he just wanted to be careful with him.
It was clear how much Barty liked him just in the kiss. Barty had clearly made sure of it. And James knew he was kissing him just to kiss him. Just because he wanted to. And that alone made his heart soar more than the fact that Barty was kissing him; the super hot and sweet and funny Barty who he could talk to all day and night and never once get bored. Who showed him in so many ways that he cared about him and who James already trusted.
He really didn't want to pull away but the sight of Barty made it worth it, with messied hair and red lips. Merlin, it just made him want to kiss him more and more and more.
