My excitement, let me show it to you

[sothis_rising]

[Phone]

[The ever sarky Sirius Black is currently elated beyond reason. Why? Because the best of his best mates is here. In his house, sleeping in awful itchy black pajamas and asking all sorts of questions. Who else would he gush at then one Lily Evans who is his skinny dipping mate and girl-bro extraordinaire.]

Lils! Lils, he's here! Have you seen him? I mean really seen him? They've decided he's my brother in this place. Of course he's my brother. It's the perfect place for him. I'm going to go use this weird identification card one of the blokes in school gave me to go get alcohol so we can celebrate. You should come over. Hell, everyone's invited. We'll have a party of it at my house or in the park or lake or something. It clearly needs to be celebrated, yeah?

I do mind, in fact! [Now James is trying to wrestle him into a headlock, laughing]

[sothis_rising]

We could be the homecoming... [Give him a second, he's trying to wrestle out of a headlock while his knees give out from laughing so hard.] King and Queen. Make a lovely couple.

[nonmetus]

Don't you dare, you bloody twat. [James rubs his other fist into Sirius' hair, messing it up more] I'll steal your ruddy crown!

[sothis_rising]

It's look awful on you mate. Like a stuffed peacock. [Sirius has somehow managed to move his body so as to kick James in the ass.]

[nonmetus]

[James makes a noise somewhere between a strangled yelp and a groan] Like you'd do any better!

(Lily is going to cut in here. Sirius is a dead man)

[sothis_rising]

We went out on a date.

[Sirius is well aware that there were no dates in any real sense of the word. They were both stranded here and stuck to one another for comfort. Now it was more of a friendship.]

It was brill. She even took her top off in front of me.

(Dead and roasted. On a spit.)

[bespell]

We went on a wh-- I did no such thing!

[The only saving grace here is that Lily lives a fair distance away, and no immediate harm can be inflicted.] And I did no such thing you git, you-- you wanker! You better hide your arse before I get here!

[nonmetus]

[James suddenly stops at the sound of her voice, loud even through the phone] Oh bloody fuck, Sirius, what did you do?

[sothis_rising]

[Sirius is about halfway to giving his best friend a noogie when he hears Lily. Then there's James's comment.]

Apparently managed to get Lils to come over here. You need to go change?

[nonmetus]

Ah-- [James struggles out of his hold, looking down at himself. The pajamas aren't very fetching] Perhaps, yes. I need to... make a good impression, I suppose.

[sothis_rising]

[Sirius smirked. Of course he'd just helped out his best mate even further in his goal of getting the girl of his dreams.]

Well then go get spiffing before she shows up.

[nonmetus]

Yes! I'll look brilliant and then she won't be able to resist me!

[bespell]

[Half an hour later, guess who's shouting outside the porch?]

OPEN THE DOOR AND MEET ME LIKE A MAN, BLACK!

[sothis_rising]

[He leans out the window of their bedroom.]

James'll be right down in a minute.

[bespell]

I'm sorry, did you hear me call out Potter?!

[sothis_rising]

Well he wants you.

[Yeah Lily, he's not coming down.]

[bespell]

[Smart man.] I can wait here all day.

[sothis_rising]

And I can wait here all day.

[He rests his arms on the sill and watching her.]

[bespell]

[She really is not going to get him out willingly any time soon.] Why did you have to go and tell Potter all that load of bullocks for? I trusted you! Now he's never going to leave me alone about it!

[sothis_rising]

At least now he won't let you alone. Think of it as adding to your allure.
