summary: Poly!jeguliliy x Reader: you talk in your sleep which leads to some revelations about your partner's sleeping habits
“Did you know you talk in your sleep?” Lily said, head propped in her hand, looking down at you and playing with your hair. You four had just woken up, still in bed before you started your day.
“Huh?” you asked, still tired and eyes heavy.
“You talk,” she said gently, “in your sleep.”
You scrunched your brows, you don’t remember ever talking in your sleep, but how would you? You were sleeping. “Do I really?” you asked.
She smiled, bright and beautiful, her skin glowing in the midmorning light seeping through your sheer bedroom curtains. “Yeah, last night when I came to bed, you were chattering away and when I asked you what you were doing up, you just kept on blabbing, mostly nonsense. I was so confused and scared that you hit your head or something because you weren't making any sense, but then I realized you weren’t fully awake. You turned over and fell right back asleep.” She explained, wrapping your hair around her fingers.
“Our little chatterbox.” James mumbled, finally speaking up, voice still gravelly from sleep.
“I'd take her chattering over your jerking.” Regulus said jokingly, propped up against the headboard.
“Pardon me?” James asked, looking up at the raven haired boy.
“You do tend to kick…” Lily admitted, adding to Regulus’s initial thought.
James paused, he blinked, his brain trying to think back to a time he ever kicked one of you. “I… what?”
“It’s true,” you spoke softly, “sometimes when you're really tired, you jerk your leg and it results in one of us getting kicked.”
James looked guilty, dragging your body close to his, hugging your form into his. “No.” He groaned, his voice sad.
“Baby it doesn't hurt. Just wakes us up a little.” Lily giggles. It was true, if anything it just shocks the three of you.
You and Regulus laughed along with Lily, James still feeling bad. Regulus took this opportunity to recall a memory of his own. “You know,” he said, “Sirius used to tell me that I used to sleep walk when I was little. He said he’d find me in random rooms in the mornings or that I'd crawl into bed with him, fully asleep.”
“Aw,” you cooed, imagining a tiny Regulus padding into his big brother’s room and climbing in bed. “that's so sweet.
“It wasn’t just when you were little, love.” Lily giggled again.
“What?” Regulus looked over at her, confused.
“You've done it here once or twice.” James explained, smiling and finally coming out of his hiding place you call your neck. "Caught you making tea in the kitchen once.”
A tinge of red arose on Regulus’s face. “I thought I'd outgrown that.” This caused you to smile as well, he was so cute when he was sweet and soft like this.
“Do I do anything weird in my sleep?” Lily asked, wanting to join in on the sleep story fun.
“Oh yeah.” James laughed, not elaborating.
“What is it!? It’s not weird or anything right?” Lily panicked, trying to get an answer out of one of you.
“Oh it is weird but we find it endearing.” Regulus smiles, still not answering her.
You were the one to take pity on her, rolling your eyes slightly and explaining her little quirk. “You, very slowly, reach out and touch our faces when you're asleep,” you giggled, seeing her confusion and disbelief, “like a sloth.”
The three of you had talked about her little sleep peculiarity before, finding it cute, like she was reaching out to make sure her loves were still next to her and alright.
“What?” Lily asked, still not believing you, your explanation a bit too strange.
“Yeah, it's like a slow, gentle slap.” James chuckled, making Regulus smirk right along with him.
“Oh,” she said meekly, "I'm sorry.”
“It's fine, baby.” James tutted, rolling onto his back and winking at Lily.
“We usually just catch your wrist and move your hand back. You’ll keep your hands to yourself for the rest of the night” Regulus explained.
She smiled back at her boys, still threading her fingers through your hair, making you feel more relaxed in this lazy morning.
“Well,” she spoke up, moving off the bed and making her way to your closet to start getting dressed. You whined in her absence, hair now feeling neglected. “Good thing you don’t snore, or else I would have to not so gently slap you.” She winked back before disappearing into the closet.
I thought this was so cute and Lily's sleep quirk is mine because for some reason if my mom or partner or a friend is sleeping over in my bed, i just reach out and touch their face like a little creep.
