This is too cruel. Too cruel. Sirius is barking right next to James' ear and he's groaning, reaching up blindly to try and grasp that snout and pull it down to his face so he can talk some sense into the dog brain.

But he manages to get his hand between Sirius and a pillow, then it's his face that gets smacked.

Right after Sirius is practically climbing onto him and James would cry, he really would, because Sirius is heavy and he's not feeling so hot. But he feels like he might be sick right onto the bed if he lets himself sob so freely.

"You... this is not fair. Lily, baby, please..."

And if he sounds miserable, it's because he is, face buried right in Sirius' fur, try to avoid the next smack from the pillow.
