Prompt 23 - Diving

@wolfstarmicrofic August 23, word count 435

“Come on Padfoot, stop being such a scaredy-cat!” Remus yelled from the pool below, slowly treading water. “Even Peter’s jumped from there!” Remus shouted again.

“Hey!” Peter splashed Remus. “What do you mean even Peter has? So rude!”

Sirius’s knees were knocking together at the top of the diving board. He’d had no idea he was afraid of heights before he climbed to the top of the ladder and stepped up to the edge of the bouncing board. He swallowed nervously and looked down again. He squeaked and took a clumsy step back. 

“Come on Padfoot!” They all called up to him. He watched as James hauled himself out of the pool and headed towards the ladder. Fuck. James was so just going to push him off. 

“Hey, Padfoot, if you jump I’ll snog ya!” Remus called, cupping his mouth with his hands to make sure Sirius heard him. 

Suddenly his fear was gone as he stared in disbelief at Remus bobbing below. He’d been trying for months, years, to get Remus to kiss him, and now he was just offering! He blinked, strode forward and jumped off the end. He heard an oof as his feet left the solid board and leapt into the air. He turned his head and James was falling with him. His body was flat in the air, not like the elegant bough Sirius’s body was stretched into. 

“Serves you right!” Sirius yelled a split second before they hit the water. He barely made a splash but James’s belly flop was so loud it echoed off the walls. Sirius could hear it under the water. 

He kicked out with his legs and pulled himself forward with his arms under the water, popping up directly in front of Remus. “You owe me a kiss,” He smirked. 

“Yes I do,” Remus murmured back, wrapping an arm around Sirius’s back and dragging him closer before pressing his chlorine-laced lips to Sirius’s. Sirius’s knees went weak, and he slipped from Remus’s arms under the surface of the water. He spluttered as he broke through the surface, trying to right himself. 

“No, that doesn’t count. I want a do-over. No!” He couldn’t believe he’d done that. After all this time and he'd swooned, what an idiot! 

“Hush, I’ll kiss you anytime you want,” Remus huffed out a laugh, dragging Sirius close again. Sirius relaxed. A grin that could eclipse the sun spread across his face. “You’re still a scaredy-cat though,” Remus snickered, kissing the top of his wet hair. Your scaredy-cat, Sirius’s brain supplied, and he hoped that one day soon it would be true.

quite genuinely what is it with men of a certain age wearing button-up shirts where they fold/roll the sleeves up but stop below their elbow?

like,

buddy fold those sleeves up one more time, get your elbows out, be a slut about it

y'all ever think abt how it was julie having the affair and it is even said multiple times that she was the one who left him, yet wilson was still the one who left their home and moved in with house. like. he couldn't bear to stay in their home alone. he immediately ran to house and stayed on his couch for weeks. suffered through his pranks and his laziness and his manipulation. telling him he wants him gone while sabotaging his attempts to leave. and he only left once he got a girlfriend again.

A challenge for people who say that what James did to Snape in Snape’s Worst Memory wasn’t awful: Read the whole chapter but replace Snape’s pronouns with she/her instead of he/him, and then come and tell me that what happened “wasn’t that bad.”

sirius very quickly realising james has a crush on him because he keeps nervously tousling his hair and glancing over to him every 5 seconds and writing 'sb' all over his work and shamelessly flirting with him, mostly by showing off, then stuttering/panicking whenever sirius flirts back
