╰┈➤✧.* IN WHICH
Lily's memories are shown, but from Lily's perspective, not the git, Snape

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

Lily Evans sighed, as she carried the huge stack of the parchment McGonagall had sent her to organise the prefect patrols with James.

she carefully manoeuvred into the little office room in the heads dorm via the back door connecting to their rooms. once she was in, she placed the parchment onto the table.

"James get over here" she ordered, sticking her head out of the front door and into the living area. James Potter snapped up from where he was lounging on the couch.

it was safe to say Lily had noticed his attire. pants and nothing else. she forbade her eyes from trailing past his face.

"the matter Lil?" he asked, rubbing his bleary eyes. "so eager to get me with you?"

"no you dumbass. we have patrol work to do" she said. James scowled.

ignoring him, she returned back into the room, soon followed by him.

he picked up a piece of the parchment on the table. Lily pretended not to notice they way his muscles moved. she sat down and began scribbling in the blanks.

"do i have to do this?" James asked. she looked up and saw he was making a very convincing puppy dog face. fortunately this had been used on her before.

"yes." she said, not showing a hint of emotion on her face. "and put on a shirt for goodness sake."

suddenly his whole demeanour changed. "why Evans" he said, moving to expose more of his chest. "does this bother you?"

she could feel heat rising on her cheek. "it doesn't bother me, Potter" she said. his last name felt unused. "all i asked, was you keep you nudity to the bathroom or your room."

James laughed. "and your fantasies?"

Lily glared at him.

"kidding" he grinned, "does it bother you though Lil?" he asked again.

"no James." she said. "its....." this pained her to admit. "distracting"

James' laughter was clear as the sky. "i distract you, now do i?"

it wasn't a question.

"fuck off" she told him. "you know what, you can do all this" she gestured to the stack around her. "by yourself."

she began walking toward the exit, when a strong hand grabbed her arm.

"you do know i was kidding, right?" he asked.

"i know" she said neutrally. "i just don't care"

"aw Evans c'mon" he said, as she continued forward. "don't make me do this by myself."

"you asked for it James"

"i'm sorry" he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and hugged her from the back. this time when she looked into those puppy dog eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say no.

not to mention, the fact that he was not only shirtless but hugging her while smelling so good, made a pretty good case in the opinion of the estrogen in her veins.

"fine"

they stayed up till the wee hours of the morning, working side by side. occasionally one of them would say something that caused the other to dissolve into laughter.

by the time James had placed the last piece of paper in a folder, it was three thirty. Lily was curled up against his bare torso, having fallen asleep somewhere around three.

he gently lifted her up and began carrying her over to her room. she stirred, and wrapped her arms around him.

when he reached her bedroom, he tried to place her onto her bed, but she refused to let go. unless he was to wake her, there was no way to prise her arms off him.

at this his point his brain was sleep deprived, and you know what? fuck it he would deal with it in the morning.

a/n: that was fun! i think i'm just going to do more unproblematic fluff chapters now because that helps deny the fact that i have no idea what to do in my other stories lol. it also helps get content out. (fuck writers block)
