One Night Stand (Jeverus/Snames/James x Severus)

James's Situation

<DON'T FORGET TO VOTE IF YOU LIKED IT>

*WARNING: LANGUAGE*

Remus and Sirius decided to talk to James after ignoring the situation for days. "I think we need to talk about the situation between you and Severus," Remus said simply. "No, we don't. We all know it's not important at all. If Snivellous could look the same as always, unbothered by that night and doing everything normal as always, then I can do it to," James said trying to leave the dormitory. The couple stopped, cornered him and stood their ground. "But you obviously like him," Sirius rolled his eyes.

James scoffed, "I'm not gay, I like girls. I've liked girls since forever and I haven't found any guys attractive." "But Severus?" Sirius sneered. James stayed silent. "Look, you don't fall in love with his dick, Prongs. I mean you can but isn't the only thing that matters is that you like all of him in the end?" Sirius continued. "Look, even IF I do like him, he won't like me back. He looks as if he didn't even care one bit about that night. He probably thinks it was a mistake. He has hated me for years. YEARS. I did all those horrible things to him. I embarrassed him in front of the whole school. Do you really think he would like me after everything I have done to him?" James was getting frustrated now.

"But what if he does like you?" Remus asked. "It wouldn't matter, I love Lily remember?" James answered. "Would you stop being in denial?" Sirius shouted. "I know you love Lily and if you really love her romantically, that's fine, great, but you obviously have something for Severus! Whether it is because you feel guilty or you like him, I don't know! I know you have been wanting to apologize to him for years and since that whole incident, you have been beating yourself up a lot because you think he hates you more. So if it's not love, at least make up with him! We all know you will regret it." Sirius was fuming so Remus rubbed small circles on his back to calm him down.

"You're right. I have been a jerk to him for seven years and I do want to apologize to him. I just feel weird now thinking of him. I love Lily, I do, but when it comes to Severus, everything is different now. I can't stop thinking about how he would feel if I came up to him now. I can't stop thinking about that night. He was different you now, he smiled and laughed. He was honest and genuinely funny, it made me wonder how we would have been if we weren't fighting over Lily and became good friends. I'll apologize to him today," James ran out of the room and headed out to find Severus.

"Do you think he likes him?" Sirius asked his boyfriend. "He is pretty agitated by Severus and if he does like him, he'll be fine. I have a feeling a certain dark haired Slytherin is in the same situation." Remus answered, kissing his temple.

James searched the whole school to find Severus with Lily working on a potion in the Potions classroom. Severus and Lily jumped when they heard the door opened so fast, it hit the wall, causing a loud bang. There, James stood panting and shook his head as he look around for his eyes to finally land on Severus. James finally had a realization, "Why was am I running around the school just to apologize?" He blushed but quickly walked up to the two. Severus was going to excuse himself thinking that James was there for Lily but James grabbed his wrists.

"Actually, I want to talk to you," James said and face Lily, still not loosening his grip, "Can you leave, I want to talk to him?" Lily nodded, she smiled and whispered in his ears, "It's okay I know and you should do whatever your heart desires." She kissed his cheeks and waved to Severus. He waved back. James finally faced Severus after seeing Lily leave. "I'm sorry," James said to Severus. "I told you it doesn't matter, I gave you my consent and we can just forget about that night," Severus rolled his eyes, his face, a bored expression.

James felt hurt, he didn't want to forget and he didn't want Severus to either. Severus was quite surprise to see him flinch at the idea Severus suggested. "I am not only apologizing for that. I am sorry for the seven years I bullied you. That night, I remember everything. We had such a good time together, I liked it. I was unfair to you and I'm so sorry I hurt you and humiliated you all these years. You don't need to forgive me but can we call a truce?" James was sincere and basically pleaded with Severus.

Severus sighed, "Fine, Potter but if you ever try anything, I'll hex your balls off." James suddenly hugged him and laughed, "Thank you and I won't, I promise." Severus was shocked but didn't push him away. Before he ran back to the common room, he spun around to look at Severus, "Call me James?" he asked, eyebrows raised and felt a bit scared of his answer. "As long as you and your friends stop calling me Snivellous." he smirked. "Definitely," James smiled.
