tw: mentions of blood
it wasn't a lie, you did nip your finger with the knife while you were cutting carrots. did you make it over dramatic so you could be alone with james, maybe, but it's been weeks since the two of you had been together.
james quickly pulled you into the bathroom, where he and lily kept the first-aid kit. stumbling to get it open, before you placed your hand on his shoulder.
"it's okay, jamie."
"okay? your bleeding, flower." he gestured to your finger, which in reality wasn't really bleeding all crazy.
"not that much, here-" you quickly turned the tap on, running your finger underneath the water. washing off the visible blood. "see, jamie." you rushed your finger straight into his face. your cut trickling a little bit of blood.
"it just needs a bandaid." james opened the first-aid kit, scavenging through for a band-aid. he pulled out a band-aid.
"and maybe a kiss?"
"you're pushing it, love." he opened the band-aid before placing it against your skin.
"please, jamie." james sighed, looking at your finger then your face. you could see the wheels spinning in his head.
"all of our friends are outside."
"they won't find out. promise, j." you began to pout while fluttering your eyes again. james sighed before licking his lips and pressing them against your cut.
"there happy, birdie." he said while opening the band-aid and placing around your finger.
"you make me happy." james smiled again before he pulled you into a kiss.
notes: i probably could have made this longer... but it's alright <3
james potter fantasized this exact moment with you. his arms wrapped around your waist, your arms wrapped around his neck. swaying back and forth to the music playing. the songs coming in and fading into another song. he couldn't help but smile, he'd dreamt about this.
—
he had taken you to the most perfect restaurant, it was a small local one. they served amazing food and it was true, james had spoken on and on about it. he'd have eaten there almost once a week, they even knew his name. it was just a simple italian place, james loved their margherita pizzas. james had told you it was one of the best.
he stood waiting for you to show up. you were only five minutes late but that didn't stop his from getting scared. it wasn't like it was your first date together but he had hoped it wouldn't be your last. he was waiting patiently, watching the street corners before he saw you walking from the street corner up to him, a big smile plastered on your face when your eyes caught him. your smile was contagious, making him smile wide.
"hi, sorry i'm late, traffic." you said before kissing his cheek.
"no worries, love." he said while grabbing the door and opening it for the both of you. you gave him a simple thank you before walking inside.
"they have amazing pizza, i normally get the-"
"margherita pizza?" you guessed, jokingly.
"how'd you know?" he was genuinely shocked, like he didn't talk about it all the time.
"i have a good memory, james." you laughed, causing him to display a slight pink blush.
"that you do" he joked, before showing you where to sit.
a lady quickly approached the two of you "hi james, welcome back and who might this be?" she said turning towards you with a big grin.
"oh, i'm y/n."
"ah! pleasure, james doesn't bring any of his friends-"
"date, she's my date." he corrected her, he wanted everyone to know you were with him.
"ahhh, a special moment. here, look over these and i'll come back in a little" she said while placing two menus in front of you both. she quickly turned on her heels before heading to the back.
"james, what do you recommend?" you asked, genuinely curious if he eats anything else other than the pizza.
the date went great, the table was filled with mostly laughter and long looks from both sides. a huge smile plastered on both of your faces when the other was talking. at one point james had marinara on his face, which you gladly wiped off. which when you did made his heart sink.
once the two of you were stuffed, he had offered to walk his flat.
"i had an amazing time, james." you reassured him.
"good, that's good. i did as well." he laughed, before reaching in his pocket to grab his keys. he fumbled a bit but got it into the keyhole. he quickly opened the door, allowing you in. he debated on making a joke like welcome to my casa, but decided against it.
"wow, bachelor pad." you said, clapping your hands in a joking way.
"what- no- no it's not-"
"i was only joking with you, jamie. shoes on or off?" you asked, hoping to take those heels off. you've never called him jamie before it had made his heart skip a beat. he liked the nickname coming from you.
"anything you want, love." he said taking his jacket off.
james quickly walked in, moving little things here and there so you wouldn't see it. he quickly turned on the music, allowing it to fade the awkwardness.
"wanna dance?" he asked, lending you his hand.
"of course." you placed your hand in his, which he pulled so you could become closer together. you couldn't help but look in your eyes. you were so beautiful to him. then he heard it, the song. the song he'd want to play while you were dancing as a married couple or something.
"our song."
"what?" you had asked, you were too busy counting his freckles
"this song, it's our song."
"yes, it's a good song. i like this song." you said before quickly placing your lips against his. he was stunned at your sudden boldness, but quickly melted into it. your lips moved against each other as they had a mind of their own.
james' hands sliding down from your waist. your hands had slid to cup his face, deepening the kiss.
when it was finally time to release, so the both of you could catch your best. james couldn't help but pant in a laugh.
"you're so beautiful."
notes: i have way too many drafts that have barely a line on them. anyways finally finished this, it's been sitting in my drafts forever xxx
"petal?" james whispered as he climbed into bed to see your eyes closed. he laid next to you, moving the pieces of hair out your face. "baby, can you wake up for me?" he asked before shaking you slightly. your eyes fluttering open to see him, a smile spread across your face. "hi jamie." you whispered.
"hi, love can you follow me please." he said sitting back up and running to the nearest window. "jamie, m'tired." you muttered, "i know, but it's really pretty, petal." his eyes drifting from the window to you. he watched as you sat up, whipping your eyes. you looked at james fast, before throwing the blanket off your warm body. you stood up stretching and walking to james. eyes slightly open and a yawn escaping your mouth. "look love, aren't they pretty tonight." he said making you look at the sky.
the stars shined bright above the other houses and trees. you could almost make out the constellations. "wow, they really are, jamie. they are beautiful." james stopped looking at the stars and started eyeing you up and down. "you are beautiful." he muttered quickly, making your head snap towards him. "jamie, i'm in pajamas." you said sarcastically, knowing he didn't care for those clothes. you could be covered in mud and he still wouldn't care. "so, does pajamas ruin your beauty? no. no it doesn't." he said before picking you up bridal style and throwing you on the bed. he planted a kiss against your lips before you moved to grab the blanket again. "ok, let's go to bed, petal." he watched as you got all comfy again.
"i love you, jamie" you said before turning to your side. "i love you too, petal good night." he said placing a kiss on your cheek before wrapping his arm around you.
notes: james potter owns my heart <3
you knew james was a one of a kind man. the kind of man to set flowers in a vase in the middle of the table. the kind of man to kiss your nose before he left for work. the kind of man that would do anything for you.
you notice everything james has done. but he's been distant, short with everything you two talked about. every time you had asked him why he was being so distant, he'd make up an excuse.
"james, can you just tell me why you're being like this?" you shouted at him, as he sat on the sofa. "what are you talking about?" he said throwing his head back to look at you.
"you know what i'm talking about james. you've been distant." you said moving in front of him. his gaze following your every movement. "sweets, I'm not doing anything wrong! i wanted to watch my show!" he argued
"jamie seriously! god i'm so done with you! you're always lying to me! you're always gone and you won't talk to me anymore!" he could see the tears start forming in your eyes. "birdie." he said sitting up. "i'm sorry, i didn't mean to be distant with you."
"god, i don't think i can do this anymore, jamie." you muttered, making him jump up. hands grabbing your upper arms. "birdie, please listen to me. i- it's hard to explain, but i will. sit please." he said shifting you towards the sofa. "look, baby- i- god, hold on let me grab something really quick." he said running off in to your shared room, scavenging through things before walking back out. "i wanted it to be more romantic, but i was so scared you'd say no." he said pulling out the tiny tiffany box. "jamie-"
he repositioned himself on one of his knees and slowly opened the small box letting the sight of a ring become visible. "baby- will you do me the honors of becoming my wife. i'm sorry i was so distant. i was just so scared you'd say no but i was also trying to make this more romantic-" "jamie, are you- yes. jamie yes." his mouth closed and formed a smile. "yes?" he ask, before you snatched the box out of his hand, you slid the ring on your finger before cupping james' face and smashing your lips onto his. mouths opening allowing each other's tongues to explore each other's. the kiss became heated fast, james' hands fleeting to your thighs pulling you into him.
you slowly pull apart, saliva spilling from both tongues. "jamie-" "i'll make this amazing for both of us." he said sliding his hands under your bum before pulling you up. "james, you are something else!" you said as he slowly kissed your neck as he entered the bedroom.

JAMES FUCKING POTTER🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
jily variants cause theyre all i think about right now:
PERCABETHHHHH - they are so jily and i love them sm
peraltiago - EXTREMELY jily coded
hiccstrid - theyre just missing astrid being an academic gal and hiccup being a bit sillier
ronmione - they are the friends to lovers part of jilys enemies to friends to lovers
flynn and rapunzel - flynn is SOOOOOO james potter core
alvin and brittany - tbh jeanette is more lily BUT LIKE THE DYNAMIC
laurie and amy - more like a combo of laurie and amy and laurie and jo tbh but it kinda still works
marinette and adrien - SPECIFICALLY marinette and chat noir cause the other dynamics are a bit different
i put this on a reblog but it deserves its own post tbh:
james defo had a crush on regulus in 6th year but in 7th year when he started dating lily, it was all forgotten. regulus had a crush on james in 2nd-4th year but after sirius ran away, regulus hated james and he had enough problems to deal with at home anyways. at least thats how i would see canon jegulus. its unrequited on both ends and they liked each other at different times. i also think james' crush was more attraction+sympathy for regulus' situation
if jily + other marauders era characters weren't in the houses they are in:
james would be a cute little hufflepuff because hes loyal af, kind (to people who deserve it) and also he is an excellent cook (my hc)
lily evans is a ravenclaw, and there is no argument for her being slytherin. a) she would probably be murdered or tortured for being muggleborn, b) she THIRSTS for knowledge (and james potter) and is extremely creative and witty and self-aware. plus shes (in most fanfics i read) excellent at charms which is flitwicks class.
anyways if they werent the ultimate gryffindor head boy/girl couple, they would be the huffleclaw head boy/girl couple that everyone adored.
sirius: he is a gryffindor fight me on this
remus: ravenclaw
peter: hufflepuff EXCEPT towards the end hes a slytherin
marlene: slytherin
dorcas: she was ORIGINALLY a gryffindor but if not then she would be a ravenclaw
mary: hufflepuff
regulus: ravenclaw
evan: hufflepuff
barty: gryffindor
narcissa: hufflepuff
andromeda: gryffindor
bellatrix: ravenclaw
pls no one come for me on this but i feel like james is just so white boy coded. like he exudes british white boy energy. he just. i respect all those who hc him as poc but hes like (in my brain) the definition of a white boy. like in my head him and lily are the most annoyingly cute white straight couple that everyone still loves. anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk.
I wrote this a while ago but I don't think I'm good at writing so I haven't posted it yet
“it is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply.” Regulus said as one of his final words to james before he left for the cave "Why's that moonlight?" Is all James asked, trying to understand his lover "It's a blessing so I can understand the world around me but it's a curse because no one understands me like I understand them" "Then teach me" "What?" Regulus asks, confused "Teach me to understand"
“I can try” “i want to be great or nothing” Regulus said two hours later when he was trying to sleep “why’s that?” “I want to go out with a bang” and right before bed “i feel as if im made to understand but not to be understood’ James said one late night with regulus, little do they know it’s their last night together “i was made to be understood but not to understand” regulus said before kissing him softly “we can learn how to be understood and understand together” (cut three weeks later) James is sobbing on the floor wishing Regulus could hold him, but that’s an impossible wish, as Regulus had indeed gone out with a bang, James never got to understand his lover, his moonlight, his life. His last conversation with him was meaningful but he felt sad, he never got to fully understand.
SO SORRY IF THIS ISN'T GOOD 💗
