Drabble: Early to Bed

Title: Early to Bed
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Lily/James/Sirius
Word Count: 100
Written for: [community profile] shareandsharealike's Three Week's for Dreamwidth Fic-a-thon, prompt 5: Nobody ever makes big enough beds (or showers)


Sleeping nestled between Sirius and James, cocooned by their bodies, made Lily feel safe in ways she hadn’t since the war began. During waking hours, however, the bed was simply too small.

At first, when even kisses were tentative, the bed’s size wasn’t too intolerable, but as the weeks wore on and all three became bolder in their confidence, the number of misplaced elbows or the times bracing hands met air instead of mattress became unbearable.

Tonight was different. Smug grins explained their part in the bed that’s only bigger when they’re on it.

Lily did love her clever boys.
