❝she was a beautiful dreamer.
the kind of girl who
kept her head in the clouds,
loved above the S T A R S
and left regret beneath the EARTH
she walked on.❞
she was right. granted, he would never openly admit to this, but he was extremely tired. james had so much going on that he felt like everything was slowly slipping away and the fact that lily understood, the fact that she could so easily read his mind, allowed him a moment of solace: a MOMENT OF COMFORT.
(( he wondered if she knew how badly he needed her ))
“ c’mon now, you don’t have to keeping selling it. you had me at ‘i’ll join you’. ” the smile he wore was genuine and carefree, something he found only happened when she was around. he leaned forward, using his finger to lift her chin as he placed his lips gently against hers. “ i’ve always wanted a SCANTILY CLAD LOVER. ”
“ alright, babe. let’s do that thing where we pretend to clean ourselves, but really … we just get dirtier. ” offering her a look, he began to head toward the bathroom, rubbing his eyes briefly as he opened the door.
a soft smile spread across her lips, her hands slowly snaking around his waist as she took a step towards him, her head tilting back slightly as she caught a better glimpse of him. ❝look no further, i’m ALL yours.❞ it was in these moments when she had trouble truly grasping that this was their reality, that james potter was actually dating her. that she could stand on the tips of her toes and coax him into a slow kiss, her teeth grazing the supple flesh of his lesser lip, a gentle teasing gesture seeping with affection. she would give the world to see that dazzling smile surface more often. ❝i do hope you realize this is all an intricate excuse to see you nude and wet. purely selfish motives.❞ she joked, following him into the bathroom as she slowly shed off the few pieces of clothing, finally standing before him in her birthday suit as she fiddled with the water, making sure it was quite warm before she proceeded to adding bubbles and other treats for them to bathe in,
he shut his eyes slowly, the edges of lips curling upward as her lips gently connected to his cheek. she had this uncanny ability to lift his mood: turn a shitty day into something wonderful. “ well i dunno, ” he whispered playfully, “ that second option sounds M I G H T Y T E M P T I N G. ”
❝the night is young PRONGS. plenty of hours to be filled with my kisses and then some. for now let’s start you off with a nice warm bath. i’ll even join you, so you’ll have a good view.❞ her soft smile grew wider as she felt him relax under her touch, a sense of pride filling her aching heart. though it might have been misconstrued as disloyalty to her closest friends, her greatest concern at the moment was james. she’d seen how the war raged on his nerves, how his duties weighed on his shoulders and it was terrifying to even catch a glimpse of the fire in his eyes flickering, threatening to burn out much too soon. so she took it upon herself to motivate him and provide some solace from the world that surrounded them. ❝come on, it’ll be fun. you deserve some fun, you’ve been working double time lately. as ATTRACTIVE as it is to watch you be a leader, even heroes need some down time with their scantily clad lovers.❞
@jpcttr ❝SO. can i interest you in a tall glass of firewhiskey? you look like you need a drink.❞ lily strolled into their room, her bare feet padding gently against the wooden floors as she strolled over to the boy, her hands gliding across his chest once she reached him. ❝i ran into em earlier. wanna talk about it or shall i just kiss your concerns away for the time being?❞
❝ isn’t there always? ❞ his words were accompanied by a half-chuckle, though there was little amusement behind the noise as he took another drag from his cigarette. ❝ it’s just… EVERYTHING that’s been going on, y’know? doesn’t even make me feel like a kid anymore. and especially with that… group james has going, i feel like some sort of soldier at war — and yet just a few months ago i thought my biggest problem was gunna be falling in love and getting good grades. it’s just weird, y’know? i don’t even feel like i should be at school anymore — i wanna be OUT THERE, helping. ❞ he paused, looking over at her with another small chuckle. ❝ was that too much for a wednesday afternoon? or ya got some o’ that classic evans wisdom to help me out? ❞
❝couldn’t be any more spot on dear.❞ she laughed softly, holding the flame up to the tip of her cigarette as she swiftly lit the death stick, her eyes focusing on him. ❝can’t say i don’t relate. this year has felt more like a whole damn life time and trust me, i’ve hardly come to terms with the terrifying things that have happened thus far, let alone wrapping my head around the idea of my boyfriend running off into battle with a group of deatheaters. if it’s of any comfort, we’re only facing what we’re prepared to face, whether we know it or not. fact is, we’re not kids anymore. life was thrust upon us whilst we were unsuspecting children and now we’ve got two options. rise to the occasion or sit back and watch as the world crumbles before us. so i think we’re doing as well as we can be. and we’re helping. being here, starting now with our mad ideas and willingness to fight. we’re shaping a new generation willing to fight for their rights.❞
franks features softened into a smile, patting the space next to him as a gesture for her to join. ❝ at least it gives me something to do other than worry, ❞ he joked, fiddling with his pack to try and slip one out for her.
❝something on your mind FRANKY BOY? come on then, lay it out for me. get ready for some evans wisdom.❞ lily took a cigarette from the pack, cradling it between her lips as she fished out her lighter from her cloak, her eyes still focusing on him. ❝i never see you THIS stressed, looks serious.❞
“ see that’s exactly what i’m thinking, though … i’m not so sure about wandless magic. it’s incredibly dangerous. unless you already know someone who can do it? ” he arched his brow in curiosity. the boy could do quite a few things that weren’t exactly part of the curriculum, a couple being: the patronus and his animagus form, but he was always willing to learn more. “ ah well … as much as i hate the guy, i can’t deny that he knows his stuff. wanna go tonight? check it out? ”
❝i may know someone that’s at least dabbled in some handy spells. say you don’t have a lighter and your wand is out of reach, you can’t just throw in the towel and give up now can you?❞ lily shrugged, her eyes glinting as she looked down. the girl had always been an eager learner, always striving to be an amazing wizard no matter what, which pushed her to venture past the set curriculum, a little known fact about her. ❝i’m not exactly his biggest fan either but he did know a lot about all that. i would love to. evening adventure with a marauder, doing something potentially forbidden? i’ve got to admit this is kind of a dream come true for me.❞
