Hockey Team Sleepover
Remus left to get extra blankets and sleeping bags from the basement and the blanket cupboard. When he came back, they laid them out on the floor and couch.
“We should watch a scary movie” Sneak suggested, “I don't know man, what about playing Battleship?” Fry said. “Because Battleship is only for two people” Sneak said, “ok what about Clue” Fry asked.
“You're a coward” Sneak said, “no, I’d just rather play something than watch something” Fry defended. “Yeah right”.
After a couple more ideas got tossed around they settled on playing Cards Against Humanity and having a mildly scary movie playing in the background.
Einstein and Twig brought the coffee table over, Remus got the game and everyone else settled around the coffee table on the floor and couch.
Blue dealt everyone their cards and pulled the first black card. Sirius had played before and knew what to expect. Sirius had only ever really played with three or four people before so playing with this many people made it much more inappropriate and hilarious.
When the game was over there was still some movie left so everyone turned their attention to the tv, even Fry was watching while trying to collect all the cards and put them away.
Moth had come upstairs seeing as everyone had quieted down. “Hey Moth how’s Mario?” Blue asked, he was the first to see Moth come into the living room.
“I think he's good, I don't know, I was playing Metroid” Moth answered and sat on the armrest of the recliner. “What's Metroid?” Blue asked, facing Moth’s direction.
Sirius looked with his eyes and didn't turn his head. He saw Moth’s eyes light up the smallest amount “you actually wanna know?” he asked, Blue nodded. Moth smiled and started rambling about Metroid to Blue.
This went on for five minutes before the music in the movie got very quiet and suspenseful. “Guys shut up for a sec would ya, it's getting intense” Lefty whispered, Moth and Blue stopped talking until after the jumpscare that scared about half of them.
After the movie ended everyone started talking about it even though they missed the first half due to being so engrossed in Cards Against Humanity. Blue and Moth continued talking about Metroid, or at least, Moth did, Blue just sat and listened, giving him the occasional nod or question.
There came a point where everyone started to get tired, yawning and denying the tiredness was going around the group. “Hey Moth, originally we thought you were gonna sleep downstairs, if you wanna stay up here there's still space on the floor, up to you” Twig offered, Moth nodded but didn't say anything.
Everyone was getting settled in the living room until Sneak decided to hit Einstein with a throw pillow. That got everyone riled up again and a pillow fight broke out. Sirius used a blanket as his weapon because there weren't enough pillows for all of them to have one.
The fight settled down once everyone got enough hits on other people and Sirius turned the lights off because he was the one sleeping closest to the switch.
Moth ended up going back downstairs with a blanket so Sirius was on the floor beside Twig, with Einstein on the far side of Twig.
There was collective rustling and adjusting while they all got comfortable and fell asleep. Sirius was awake, staring at the ceiling, hoping to teleport through it and into Remus’s room.
He rolled over a couple times, seeing if one side would be more comfortable than the other. Nothing really worked, at least in his own bed he had a thick blanket to cuddle with but here he barely had anything.
He rolled over again and let out a sigh when he heard someone start to snore quietly. Giving up on his sleep, Sirius started to think of other things while still moving every now and then to make himself a bit more comfortable.
There was a tap on his shoulder and he turned his head to look at where Twig was. “Go to him” Twig whispered, “I’ll cover for you in the morning if you're not back when we get up I’ll say you're in the bathroom, now go up and sleep”. “Really?” Sirius asked, “yeah, I’ll bet you anything he can't sleep either, and you're keeping me up with all your tossing and turning” Twig answered, “thanks Twig” Sirius said as he got up and tiptoed up the stairs.
Sirius opened the door to Remus’s room and stepped in, “thank fuck” Remus said, Sirius didnt fully laugh out of tiredness. Remus held out his arms, signalling Sirius to join him.
Sirius paused to change his pants then took off his sweater and shirt, “leave it, come on” Remus said. Sirius didn't have the energy to bother finding a pajama shirt anyway.
He crawled into Remus’s warm bed and finally fell asleep.

The next morning Sirius woke up to James knocking on the door before opening it. “Sirius you might wanna go downstairs before they all wake up” he said, rubbing his eyes under his glasses.
“James, you wanna go downstairs and make sure they don’t eat all my cereal?” Remus said, James nodded “I was gonna head down there anyway” he said. “Where's Lily?” Sirius asked, “bathroom”.
James left and Sirius figured he should go too. Remus pulled him back down into a very uncoordinated kiss.
Sirius had made it to the door before Remus spoke and sat up in bed, “hey genius, might wanna put on your pants and sweater, just a suggestion”. Sirius looked down to remember he put different pajama pants on last night, pajama pants that technically aren't his.
He took them off and put his jeans back on along with his shirt and sweater from yesterday then went downstairs. The bathroom is close to the bottom of the stairs so Sirius waited at the end of the stairs to listen for voices, then ducked in the bathroom.
“Padfoot doesn't strike me as a morning person so where is he?” Sirius could hear Sneak through the wall, “I don't know, he probably went to the bathroom or something” Twig said. “Well then he must've been in the bathroom for a while, his spot on the floor is completely cold” Einstein said.
Oh great
Sirius came out of the bathroom as he knew it would become more suspicious the longer he's not in the living room.
“There he is” Sneak said as he walked in the room and sat down on the floor. “How was the bathroom?” “fine? It was a bathroom, there's not much to say about it” Sirius answered.
They all sat and looked at him, not saying anything. “What?” Sirius asked, “Einstein thinks you weren't in the bathroom, or you were in there for a long time cause your blanket’s cold” Sneak explained.
“What do you think I was doing?” Sirius asked, trying not to be too specific. Blue started to shift around on the couch, “I don't know, sleeping somewhere else, or not sleeping at all” Sneak said.
“If you guys think I was fucking Moth or something go ahead but that's not what I was doing” Sirius said, too tired to care about his answer at this point but still keeping the secret.
It’s entirely too early for this
Blue woke up, “you did what?” he said, “nothing, I said I didn't fuck Moth, or anyone else for that matter” Sirius said, starting to get annoyed.
“Hey guys, how's it going?” Remus said, coming into the living room. “Pretty good, we’re trying to figure out where the goth went last night cause he certainly wasn't here” “why does it matter?”
That seemed like a good point and had everyone thinking. “Good morning boys, what's on the breakfast menu?” Remus’s mom asked. The group shrugged and looked between each other, “I’ll tell you what's not on the menu, the quarter box of Moony’s favourite cereal” James said, coming in from the kitchen.
“There's other cereal, and bacon and eggs if you want it” Remus’s mom said and left for the kitchen.
Lily came downstairs just as everyone was getting up to scavenge the kitchen. Fry woke up from all the commotion and once everyone was in the kitchen, Moth came up, blanket draped over his shoulders.
After breakfast the team hung out together in the living room until they decided to go home, Twig was the last one to go, other than James, Lily, and Sirius.
“See you guys tomorrow” he said as he walked out into the cold. The four of them went back to the living room and started to clean up.
Sirius went downstairs with the extra blankets, he also used that time in the basement to snoop for where Moth hangs out. It didn't take long, the basement was pretty open so you could see from one side to the other without any obstacles.
He walked over to the tv and console, which looked untouched, along with the neatly folded blanket on the couch. Sirius opened one of the cupboards in the tv stand to find the games which had all been organised in alphabetical order.
“What are you looking for?” James asked from the other side of the basement. “Nothing in particular, Moth is a bit of a clean freak isn't he?” Sirius answered and stood up, walking towards James.
“Not really, he just puts everything back the way he found it, always has” James answered, “interesting” “yeah one time he wanted a drink from a cooler, I don't remember where we were but people used it as a table to just put shit on. Moth took everything off it, got himself a drink, then carefully put everything back on top of the cooler as if he had never been in there” James explained as they went up the stairs.
“I guess if no one else plays the NES it would make it easier for himself next time to put everything away properly” Sirius reasoned. They were back in the living room where Lily had picked up a few cards from last night's game that had fallen on the floor and was looking for the box to put them away.
Remus’s dad came in “hey if you guys want help flooding the pond, let me know, I got nothing better to do” he said, they accepted his help and continued to put stuff away.

Monday, everyone's least favourite day of the week.
It had been about a week since Sirius and Lily skated with the hockey team and today there was a hockey game after school.
They had sequins on Remus and James’s jerseys a few days ago so this would be the first time they play with them.
Sirius and Lily carpooled to the arena and went to get a good spot to sit. After getting that sorted, Sirius made the excuse of going to the bathroom but instead went to try and find Remus.
The whiteboard on the wall in the lobby told him what room their team was in so he started sneaking around the hallway to get there without being seen by the other team or coaches.
There wasn't really that many spots to be out of people’s view in the hallway but Sirius managed to be very quiet and would duck out through the plastic dividers between the ice and hallway when he needed to.
As he approached the room the team was in, Sirius realised he’d need some way to get Remus out of the room without Sirius himself getting seen by the rest of the team.
He settled on just texting him and hoping Remus would see it. There was loud music and talking happening and Sirius could hear it loud and clear even through the concrete walls.
The door opened and Sirius hid beside the hockey sticks hoping whoever it was wouldn't notice him. It was a coach looking guy, he walked out to the ice, whiteboard in hand.
The door opened again and this time Remus’s head poked out. His body followed his head out the door as soon as he saw Sirius.
Sirius let his eyes take in the information they were getting. Remus was wearing his hockey gear from pants down but nothing more than a skin tight long sleeve shirt on his upper body.
“How did you even get this far?” Remus asked, “they don't call me Padfoot for nothing” Sirius said, eyes still wandering.
Sirius bit his lip and saw Remus look around for a second before connecting their lips and pushing Sirius against the wall across from their dressing room.
Sirius let out a sound of surprise but returned the kiss with similar enthusiasm. It didn't last long before a set of footsteps was coming towards them. Remus pushed Sirius against the wall harder.
Sirius started to stumble backwards as the wall gave way behind him. Even though his eyes were closed and his brain was fuzzy, he could tell it was dark around them now.
Sirius pushed Remus up against what he now knew was the back of a door and he gripped Remus’s sides tight.
Sirius’s mouth came off of Remus’s when he scratched the back of his head a little. He moaned as Remus’s mouth left hot kisses all over his neck. Sirius started running his hands up and down Remus’s chest.
Remus licked along Sirius’s jaw before putting his tongue back in Sirius’s mouth. Sirius grabbed Remus’s hair which made him moan too.
The sounds of their mouths working together, and their moans echoed through the empty dressing room. Sirius could still hear the music and talking from the other dressing room which seemed so far away now.
Remus squirmed against the door, Sirius took the hint and brought his thigh up between Remus’s legs. Remus shuddered, “oh fuck” Sirius smiled against his lips and moved his leg a little bit, just enough to evoke a reaction.
And react he did. Remus moaned louder and aggressively ran his hands down Sirius’s body and to his waistband, as much as Sirius wanted it too, he knew that would not be the best idea.
He left kisses along Remus’s jaw leading up to his ear as Remus continued to try and get Sirius’s pants undone. “You have a hockey game to win, remember?” Sirius whispered, Remus didn't even respond properly, he moaned and stuttered out a few swear words before giving up and grabbing Sirius’s face.
They had a slow kiss as they calmed down and then pulled apart. “Good luck” Sirius said, “yeah thanks” Remus went to open the door but turned back to Sirius. “Do I look ok?” he asked, “I mean yeah when don't you?” Sirius said as if it was obvious. Remus let out a small laugh, “no you dork, do I look like I haven't just been made out with?” he clarified.
Sirius walked farther into the dressing room and made some big arm movements so the motion activated lights would turn on. Remus chuckled a little as Sirius walked back over to him. Sirius fixed Remus’s hair and wiped some spit off his neck, “yeah you should be fine now, I mean your lips are red but there's nothing you can do about that” “great”.
Remus opened the door a crack to check for coaches or teammates then left Sirius standing in the dressing room alone.
Sirius waited a few minutes before doing the same, he got caught by a coach though. Sirius made up some excuse that he was cleaning the dressing room for the next people to use it and it looked like the coach accepted that excuse and let him go.
Sirius joined Lily in the stands again, and people started to trickle in to watch the game. “Welcome back” she said, Sirius could tell she knew what he did just by the look in her eyes.
“What's that look for?” he asked, “what look?” “the look you always give me when I think I’m getting away with something and you see right through it without even knowing what I did” Sirius explained. Lily laughed “yeah I know where you were and can probably guess what you were up to but I’m not gonna ask or rat you out so let’s just enjoy the game” she said.
This time around it was more fun to watch, because Sirius actually knew more than two of the players.
Sirius and Lily spent most of the game pointing out little things in the gameplay that was similar to what the team had done on the pond.
All was going well, until James got smacked in the face by someone on the other team’s stick. They watched as James stumbled a little, he almost fell but managed to save himself.
One of the refs blew the whistle to pause the game and inspect James. A little huddle formed around him. Sirius could tell Lily was whispering about what might be wrong with James but he couldn't make out what she was saying over the commentators and the fact she was more so talking to herself. The huddle broke apart and it seemed like everything was fine, the guy from the other team got sent to the penalty box for high sticking and James was put on the bench to recover a bit.
It didn't look like there was any blood or a serious injury from where Sirius and Lily were in the stands and Sirius figured there wouldn't be considering they're all wearing cages on their helmets.
The game resumed and nobody else got hurt. Remus and James’s team lost 3-2.
They met up in the lobby like usual except this time about half the team came over to Sirius and Lily with Remus and James.
“You guys did great” Sirius said, “yeah ‘parently not great enough” Sneak said, “we’ve been over this, you can't win every game, it would get boring and you’d never get better” Twig explained.
Lily inspected James’s face to make sure he was alright, Sirius heard her gasp. “Look at that bruise you've got there” she said, Sirius looked over and sure enough James did have a bruise but it was nowhere near as bad as he was expecting based on her reaction.
Remus had managed to sneak his way around to stand next to Sirius without anybody noticing. Sirius only found out because he was being poked in the leg on occasion.
“He's not made of glass you know, our Prongs can handle much worse than a stick to the helmet” Fry said, Lily stopped messing with James and faced the rest of the circle.
“Well, I’m gonna head out, I’m beat,” Lefty said and parted ways with the group after various goodbyes and fistbumps. While everyone else was distracted by waving off some of the team, Sirius could feel Remus getting more confident in his ability to not get caught touching him as now his hand was almost in Sirius’s back pocket.
Sirius didn't fight it, it felt nice and he didn't really care if they got outed in the crowded lobby. None of his family was there and everyone looked too preoccupied with their own groups to notice them.
Except Twig.
“Hey maybe you guys should get a room” Twig whispered behind them. It took them both by surprise as Remus took his hand back at lighting speed and they both whipped around to look at Twig, faces going a bit red.
He was smiling, clearly pleased with himself. Though Sirius and Remus’s reaction had now gotten the attention of the group. “Twig what did I tell you about putting stale popcorn off the floor on peoples heads and down their necks” Sneak started, “that it was fun” “ok well yeah until you started doing it to us too” he responded.
Sirius was glad Twig was a bit of a renowned troublemaker on the team so they wouldn't have to fumble to make an excuse for their reaction.
Twig stepped between them to get into the middle of the circle then crossed to the other side once he had everyone's attention. “Now gentlemen, when would I ever cause trouble, especially to our beloved defenseman Moony over there” some giggles went around followed by Blue who wasn't having any of it and just flatly told him they should’ve nicknamed him trouble or clown instead of twig.
Twig continued his little spiel about how serious of a person he is. Everyone was watching him and Sirius felt Remus’s hand snake under his coat to hold him by the waist.
“Can you tell he takes drama?” Remus whispered to Sirius, he laughed a bit before nodding, “he does have that kinda vibe doesn't he”.
At some point Twig was done, ended it with a bow and everything then told everyone to continue what they were talking about and joined regular conversation again.
