"James, you haven't been acting yourself lately." Lily stated and James's brow furrowed.
"I'm sorry about that." He paused to rub the back of his neck. "I just want you to know that no matter what I'll always love you Lily Evans." He said as if trying out her name for the last time.
"Oh no." She clamped her hands over her ears, feeling tears spring to her eyes. "I know what you're doing, you're breaking up with me. Well I won't hear it!" She stomped her foot like a temperamental child and looked up to find James grinning. He really is that cruel, she thought, he gets some sick pleasure from seeing me cry.
He raised his hands to pry her own from her ears. "Lily Evans, let me talk." She held her hands in place, hoping he would assume she couldn't hear and save the breakup speech for a different time, hopefully never.
James finally managed to get her struggling hands off of her ears and held them firmly. His eyes bore into hers and he grinned. "Marry me." Lily's eyes widened. Whatever she had been expecting it had been far from that.
"Aren't you going to get on your knee?" She squeaked.
"Never," He smiled. "I'm not that cliché. So are you going to answer me or-"
"Yes," She laughed, tears escaping her green eyes. "Yes I'll marry you James Potter." He slid a ring on her finger, but she couldn't look away from him long enough to notice
"Lily Potter, I think I like that." He pulled her into his arms and just held her as she cried and he reminded her of how stupid she was for actually believing he would ever leave her.
