Electric Warrior
James let out an exasperated groan as Sirius returned the record to the beginning for the fifth time that evening. Sirius shushed him overdramatically, before shaking his hips around to the opening of Mambo Sun. Peter watched from the corner as he sipped his beer, clearly not knowing what to make of it. Remus was sitting on the edge of his bed, nodding and humming along to the song, his hair flopping with each bounce of his head. James couldn’t feign annoyance any longer.
He sprung up from where he was laid on his bed and began jiving along next to Sirius, beer bottle in one hand. Sirius grinned at him and continued his wild dancing, that really wasn’t in time to the song. Peter began nodding off, head lolling downwards. Remus looked up to watch the happenings, and nearly laughed loudly. He stifled it as he raised himself from the bed, joining Sirius and James as the tunes melted from Cosmic Dancer to Jeepster.
The three of them jumped around the middle of the room, bumping into each other and shaking their heads to the music. Remus bumped into James, who held his hand above their heads and twirled Remus around daintily. Sirius clapped as he watched in approval, hips still shimmying around obnoxiously. James’ glasses were in serious danger of flying from his face, and his hair stuck up at all angles. Some of which Remus didn’t even know were possible. Remus began shouting the lyrics out, barely audible as competition with the record player, which had been magically altered to increase volume levels past the ordinary maximum.
Sirius slowed down and collapsed on the ground at the beginning of Monolith. He stretched out, breathing deeply to catch his breath. James laughed at him as he grabbed Remus’ hand. Remus’ smile stretched from ear to ear as James pulled him in and began swaying back and forth. They decreased the speed of their swaying to suit the nature of the song and to catch their breath. James placed his head on Remus’ shoulder, and Remus could feel the vibrations of James’ singing against him. Remus’ chin became buried in a sea of dark hair, and he smiled into it. The two of them leaned against each other, rocking back and forth contentedly.
Sirius appeared at their side with a wry smile. As Lean Woman Blues started up, he put a hand on Remus’ shoulder. James laughed heartily as he and Remus broke apart, and he took a swig of his beer before retiring to the window to light a cigarette. Remus knew James didn’t smoke very often, but when he did he found his cheeks heated up. Sirius smirked at Remus as he noticed the red tinge of his cheeks. Remus grinned back bashfully as Sirius pulled him into hold, closer than was strictly necessary. Remus once again found his chin nestled in a nest of dark hair, and this time he pressed a gentle kiss to the top of the head beneath him.
As the song came to an end, Sirius twirled out of hold and sauntered over to flip the record. Remus watched as he crossed to James and took the cigarette that hung loosely between his lips. Sirius placed it between his own lips and smirked at James. James rolled his eyes good naturedly, but leaned closer to Sirius. Remus felt his cheeks reheat as James whispered something into Sirius’ ear. The two stood for a moment with their faces millimetres from each other. Remus found he was holding his breath. James reached up and rubbed his thumb across Sirius’ cheek before plucking the cigarette from his mouth and reclaiming it by taking a puff. Sirius chuckled as he winked at James before dancing back over towards Remus. Sirius took his hand and began swaying in an untamed fashion to Get It On. James stubbed the cigarette out and rejoined them, coming to Remus’ other side. James gripped Remus’ other hand, and the three of them danced together, completely uncoordinated. Remus’ face hurt from smiling. The three of them danced wildly for the rest of the record, not stopping for a second.
