What's this? Why'd you call it- no, Sirius, stop I-

[ there's a pause, sounds of a struggle and what could probably pass as a triumphant laugh. ]

Right! Name's James Potter. 'pparently you can leave things here for me to read later? Brilliant.
Uh, what am I even supposed to say?

Wait, no, this is my bloody-

[ and the feed is cut off. blame sirius. ]

I HEAR THE LIFT
I HEAR THE LIFT THATS YOU


REUNION IS NIGH
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[this is sort of like when your dog is pacing madly in front of the door waiting for you to open it so he can leap on you and lick your face. with maybe less face licking.

maybe.]

[heorot]

[ james isn't even going to respond. just going to slide his device into the pocket of his jumpsuit and stand at the doors with open arms, clearly expecting a hug or leap or general attack of some kind.

so much love. ]

[doggedly]

[And because James knows Sirius so well--or because this situation has been more or less played out any number of times between them--sure enough, when the lift doors slide open, there's Sirius, and then there's Sirius, leaping on James with a shout. It's a jump into his arms, sort of, the force of which will shove James back, maybe against the wall, but Sirius is too happy and manic and excited to think too much on any consequences, right now he's just: James James James James fun James fun James James, and he crushes his cheek against James' shoulder, holding tightly to him.]

James!

[And then he untangles himself so he can grin, hard, at James, holding him at arm's length--]

The ship, James-- bloody hell--

[heorot]

[ james is just all open arms and anticipation at this point, waiting for the mass that will be sirius. james will catch him, because this has been practiced and he's gotten quite good at it, but that doesn't mean he won't need a step or two back to steady himself.

and then it's laughing and untangling and oh wait yes ship ship ship ship SHIP ]

What're we waiting for? Let's go!

[doggedly]

[Sirius is laughing, breathlessly--he twists away from James, all manic happy energy, grabbing hold of his hands and shaking them around, pumping them up and down--yes yes yes yes ship ship ship--]

Come on!

[This is like all the best things, this is like when he first sees James after a long holiday, and when he pulls off a great prank, and exploring caves during summer holiday, and maybe it's because of anticipation or maybe it's because of the reunion aspect of this, it's him and James, together again, just the way it ought to be.]

To the ship!

[And then they go running off into the sunset (moonset? starset?), to adventure! Even if they get split up. Doesn't matter.]

[heorot]

[ and they lived happily ever after until that next log thread we're doing, and then even after that. ]
