THAT NIGHT JAMES HAD HEADED INTO THE MARAUDERS DORM WITH A DORKY and more than delighted smile. It was clear that he was happy and it matched in the way he entered and talked to the other Marauders. Frank barely slept with them in the dorm anymore, having basically given up at that point. He actually did however sleep a lot of the nights at the Ravenclaw common room, he seemed to have more than plenty close friends from his prefect duties unlike Remus. Who more than ever started to skip his duties, or didn't interact with many who left a distasteful flavour om his tongue.

"Who's got their stick up your ass?" Peter asked, his legs lying peacefully on his bed as his back rested on the red carpet that decorated their room.

"No I'm rather confident he's had his first blowjob." Sirius stated with a hint of sass as his hands reached for a sour candy to pop in his mouth.

"Well Evans went to prefect duties so its not her." Remus explained.

James shook his head, though a grin still undeniably placed in his face. "What are you guys on about? I've just.. Seohyun and I spent the afternoon, not talking about Quidditch for once." He explained, a dopy smile on his face as he recalled the late night he had enjoyed with his senior. Across the room Remus and Sirius shared a very confused glance, though the werewolf raised his brows as to try and make Sirius realise something. He soon opened his mouth in shock.

"You don't think that really?" Sirius whispered in shock, as his gaze fell on James for a split second before it headed back to Remus. The Lupin boy stared at him unimpressed and nodded quite sure of whatever he had said. Remus had been queer for quite sometime now, most of his friends knew this. And ever since he made assumptions of those who he wouldn't be surprised to see snogging one of the same sex, and every single time he was correct.

Sirius had never expected to pay Remus ten galleons because they walked in on Eustace Parkinson, a pureblood Slytherin, a blood supremacist, a homophobic douche, snogging a muggleborn Hufflepuff Seeker Chris Myers. That had definitely been the biggest shock to have ever been witnessed by Sirius, he had genuinely never expected people like him to be one of their kind. Sirius and Remus have had a few one night stands before, nothing too serious because in the end Sirius liked fucking more than being fucked. However, he would still let Remus take him for a shag once every month, though he would have to make one or two more plausible excuses for his inability to walk properly.

James eyed them confused, "You know I am right here right?" He asked unimpressed with his brows raised. Sirius and Remus shared a glance before staring back at the boy with glasses. "Prongs, have you let's say ever seen Seohyun after showering? Still shirtless?" Sirius asked immediately, not even waiting to start off slowly like Remus always warned him to do.

"Sirius!"

"Remus!"

Remus his hands flew to the tip of his nose bridge and he sighed. James was sitting in between them looking rather lost to whatever his friends were trying to make him realise. "Wait, what are you- huh?" He tried making a sentence and yet it just didn't seem to work out, he decided to fall silent once again and wait for Remus or Sirius to explain whatever was wrong.

Sirius groaned out loud, "Look mate, you've seen Seohyun change and shower after Quidditch practices right?" He worded once again.

"Well, yeah of course. He's my captain, I've seen him shower all the time." James answered casually. Remus and Sirius both stared at him expectantly waiting for the realisation to hit him as quick as they hoped but it never really came. James stared back at them, switching the person he would be looking at before he slumped back.

"What?!"

Remus sighed not exactly surprised at the fact that James, who had gaslighted himself into thinking he was in love with Lily Evans, was not quite realising how gay he was. "James.. Have you ever.. noticed just a little extra things about Seohyun when he was showering?" He asked once again trying his hardest to not lose all of his patience in a mere second. It was starting to bug him how daft one could be, and somehow James was one of the brightest students in their year. Remus was sure it was sheer dumb luck.

James thought for a few seconds, "Umh, well.." And then his mind wandered. He had indeed noticed a few things, more than one would find likely if they were straight. He remembered the small cut Seohyun has under his left bicep which had always made him wonder how in the world he managed to get the scar like that. He also had a very visible veins but those were also visible on a hot summer day when he rolled up his sleeves or whenever he wore short sleeved shirts.

James also vividly remembered the small amount of freckles that tainted the smalles part of Seohyun his back. He remembered how he wondered what it felt like to be able to touch those when he was a first year. A blush arose onto his cheeks as he remembered all of the attractive, fresh out of the shower, moments that flooded back in to his mind like a train wreck. He coughed a bit, "Er, some of them yeah.." He lied, trying to cover up his obvious embarrassment.

"James!" Sirius exclaimed feeling like he had enough and he would like to enlighten the boy of his own feelings.

"What?!"

Remus whacked Sirius over the top of his head, "Sirius! We can't force his feelings out of it!" He scolded quickly, though still growing rapidly annoyed at the conversation which ended up escalating a lot slower than he had anticipated. Sirius whined out in annoyance and fell back onto the end of his bed, seemingly done with assisting his best friend.

"How long did it take you to find out?" Remus snapped at Sirius, this most definitely made him close his mouth, shut up, and reluctantly sit back up straight, which was quite ironic seeing as Sirius was anything but straight.

"What, wait do you guys think I am in love with my Quidditch captain?!" James exclaimed flabbergasted that they could ever think of such things. Remus and Sirius shared a glance once again, as if their minds were telepathically connected.

Remus struggled to find the words to correctly start off, "Look mate.. You know we won't judge, it's just quite clear you're acting infatuated with him and barely even talk to Evans at this point." He explained trying to get his view point across. James, James Potter, gay? Ridiculous! He wasn't gay, sure he had found the very muscular body of Seohyun far more attractive than one could ever know but he was not gay!

"What! No! I just like spending time with Seohyun! He's just a friend, I merely look up to him! I want to be a player like him not play with him in bed!" James quickly rambled out trying to find out as many reasons as to why it was ridiculous one could even come up with reasonings as such.

Remus chuckled under his breath, "Prongs you don't have to accept it now, you don't want to know how long Sirius denied it." Remus laughed thinking back about those moments because as of that very moment Remus had been in Sirius much more than a few times. Sirius gaped at him with wide eyes, as if in shock or offended.

"Why do I have to he used as example?!" He exclaimed with a pout.

"Shut it Pads."

Sirius sighed and calmed down, "I mean, Moony is right. We don't need you to realise, but just think about it, you haven't even planned anything for Christmas break with Evans, instead you've spend every second you'd usually spend planning, with Seohyun."

"I have not!" James quickly defended himself trying to beat the accusations. He paused and thought, his friends had been in fact correct. He had not been batting his eyes at Lily as much as he previously did. He had not been begging for a scratch of her attention like he had been for years, no. He had been desperately trying to get those from Seohyun.

That is exactly what James had rambled to Seohyun about after Quidditch practice the following early morning. Seohyun was rubbing his hair with his damp towel as he walked in a towel that could easily fall off. The trust he put into the towel that wrapped around his waist was incredible. "I mean, I have been less up Lily her ass but isn't that a good thing?"

Seohyun laughed and shrugged. "Don't know, Lily doesn't seem upset that you have left her alone." Normally James would have been shattered by news as such, but it seemed as if nothing that involved Lily bothered him anymore. He used to throw his neck and gaze towards the action that had echoed the name Lily out but now he barely remembered she existed.

"I wouldn't mind if you were queer." Seohyun added to the conversation calmly, he calmly dried off his stomach area. James stared at him as if he was realising something for the first time. There was a slight pause between what Seohyun had said and what James was about to respond.

"Wait.. have.. are you?" James tried to ask it in a tone that would sound least offensive. Seohyun chuckled, he let his towel drop to the ground, the one that he had been drying his hair with of course. A smirk raised onto the lips of Seohyun as his eyes trailed down the half naked body of James.

"Well.. Would you like me to show you?" Seohyun teasingly added with a hint of a mischievious smirk upon his lips. James felt blush raise to his cheeks and he felt as if the words had been ripped out of his mouth and he had no choice but to obey. The words desperately tried clawing out of the mouth of James but he had stood frozen. He had never really expected it to happen, sure he was a teenager with hormones every other week but he had never really thought about him not doing it with a woman. To him it sounded logical that their purpose was to populate their wizarding world even further, he had never thought about that. He had expected to start and grow a family, that was what he had thought he always wanted.

But the closer that Seohyun stepped, the more he had realised that maybe that wasn't true at all. He had always wanted Seohyun, but James was not so sure that he could convince himself that just yet, he should just enjoy the moment really.
