On to the story!
Lily smiled as she sat comfortably under the tree at the beach. She was laying on the towel watchng James splash around in the water with Sirius. Remus was sitting up beside her reading as always.
Sitting up beside him she laid her head on his shoulder comfortably, begining to doze off.
"Uhm... Lily?..." Remus asked.
"I'm lazy... gimme a break." she answered.
"Alright..." Remus went back to his book.
Once asleep, Lily wiggled her way under Remus' arm, making it harder to read. Trying not to wake her up, he moved a bit so he could see his book better.
"Stop moving!" Lily muttered sleepily.
"Sorry, but I can't see my book..."
"Then don't see it..." Lily muttered again, sliding her arm up so her hand was resting on his shoulder and her head laid on his chest.
"... O...kay?" Remus mumbled silently, looking back at his book.
After a while, James and Sirus lifted themselves out of the water and trodded up to where Remus and Lily were. Sirius stopped a meter away and James looked at his friend.
"Why'd you stop?" he asked, walking forwards.
Sirius simply nodded in Remus and Lily's direction and James stopped a few feet away from them. He turned his head to see one of his best friends...
SNUGGLING WITH HIS GIRL?!?!?!?!
"Wha-you-but-I-she-ghk!" James spluttered.
"Help me..." Remus whispered.
"Shut up Remus... I don't want to have to tell you again..."
"I thought you were asleep!"
"I am, shut up."
"But you're talking!"
"..."
"Oh haha..."
James stood there, flustered, as he watched his girl cuddle with his best mate. Sirius patted him on the shoulder, resisting the urge to laugh out loud. James simply turned around and walked back to the water.
"Remus... mate?"
"Yeah Sirius?"
"I think James is going to drown himself..."
"... what do you want me to do about it?"
"WILL YOU BOTH SHUT UP?!" Lily blasted them.
"Sorry..." they said in unison.
"Why should I?" Remus asked defiantly.
Lily simply held up her wand to Remus' throat.
"Oh... that's why..."
"HEY! REMUS! SIRIUS! WHY DON'T YOU GUYS COME DOWN FOR ONE LAST DIP?!" James called up to his friends.
"Hey! Moony! He didn't kill himself!" Sirius laughed, running to the water.
"Alright," Remus said, lifting Lily off himslef, "Sorry Lils, time to go."
"Mmmmkay..." Lilly stretched, getting up to start putting everything away as Remus headed down to the water.
As Lily began packing the things, she admired her lime green bikini, and her lovely black wrap. She smiled at the white pattern on it and bent over to pick up the blanket.
As James oggled her rear, he noticed another guy doing the same. He watched as the blonde, shorter boy walked over and leaned against the tree beside Lily.
"Hey," he smiled, pushing his blonde hair out of his eyes in an attempt to look hott, "Need some help?"
"Nah, I'm alright thanks..." Lily replied, folding the blanket and still half asleep.
"Are you sure? Because it's a shame for a pretty girl like you to have to work."
"No... it's fine... really..." she protested.
"Yeah, you heard her, she's capable!" James exclaimed, walking over and putting his arm around Lily's shoulders.
"Exactly," Sirius agreed, sliding his arm around her other shoulder.
"What's going on?" Remus asked, walking up behind Lily.
"Oh... I see. I didn't realize you were a whore..." the guy stated calmly, standing up straight.
"Excu-" Lily began, but she was cut off by the two boys at her sides stepping forward and blasting this "little punk" as they put it.
"Here we go again..." Remus sighed.
Just as the boys were about to punch him, Lily stepped forward, pushing James and Sirius aside.
They looked at her, flustered, but she just stood in front of the blonde boy.
"Just so you know... Sirius is the whore, not me!" she exclaimed, punching him and knocking him out cold.
"YEAH!... Hey... WAIT!" Sirius protested, "I am not a -"
He was interrupted when two lovely girls strode by in string bikinis, and he stopped to stare.
"Ahem..." Lily cleared her throat.
"Yeah yeah... shut up," Sirius sighed, watching the girls pass still.
"SO!" Lily smiled, claping her hands together, "I want ice cream!"
"Sure!" James and Remus agreed with Sirius too in a daze to realize what had just been said.
"Awesome! Lets go then!" Lily gleamed, walking past Sirius with Remus behind her. James on the other hand stopped to ping his friend in the ear so he would realize they were leaving.
"Huh?" Sirius uttered stupidly, "Oh! Hey! Wait up!"
After getting ice cream, Lily sat in the passengers seat of Jame's candy apple red mustang convertible (cuz that's how we roll lol P). She was happily licking the cotton candy treat in her hand as James pulled the car onto the road. Sirius and Remus sat in the back.
"It's beautiful out!" she smiled.
"Just like you," James grinned, taking her hand.
Just then gagging noises came from the back seat and Lily turned around to see Sirius mimicing choking while Remus simply read his book.
"... Sirus, come here for a second," Lily asked sweetly, looking over her shoulder at him.
"Yeah?" he asked, leaning forward.
"I'll miss you," Lily said to her ice cream licking it one last time before plopping it onto Sirius' head.
"ARGH! Lils! THATS COLD!... And more importantly... MY HAIR!" Sirius complained, throwing the larger part of the ice cream off of his head onto the road.
"Your HAIR?!" James exclaimed, "MY apholstry!!"
"Oh calm down James, I'll clean it," Lily sighed.
"Promise?" he fake pouted.
"Yes!" Lily laughed, taking his hand again as they drove out to the house in the woods they were staying in for the summer.
The house was actually a small log cabin James' father had built a while back. To Muggles, it seemed to be your typical, tiny log cabin. On the inside however it was rather large and more like a home. There were four large bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. It seemed Mr. Potter had planned ahead with that. They were all on the second floor. On the first floor was a well equipped kitchen, a sitting room and even a small library, Remus' favorite part of the place.
Hopping out of the car, Lily watched as Sirius jumped over the side and Remus copied him. She pointed her wand at the ice cream spill and cleaned it up.
"I'm heading up to my room," she stated, "I want a nap."
"Yeah... you need one," Remus joked.
"Why don't you come up with me and I can use you as a pillow again?" Lily countered.
"Pass..." Remus smiled as James' jaw dropped.
"I'll be your pillow!" James piped up.
"Nah... Remus is squishier," she smiled as she headed into the house.
Remus laughed at James' expression, wondering wether or not to feel insulted, and followed Lily in.
Sirius walked up behind James and patted him on the back, "Sorry mate... you arn't squishy enough for her... but since you're so willing you can be my pillow!"
"Sod off Padfoot..." James grumped as his friend batted his eyelashes at him, "Hey... wait! Remus! Where are you going!?"
Remus laughed standing just outside the door, "Library mate, calm down!"
Sirius laughed at James and followed Remus into the house, James trailing behind him.
Sirius headed to the kitchen as Remus walked into the library. James simply climbed up the stairs and sneaked into Lily's room.
Lily was snuggled up under the covers of the four post bed, her red hair streaming beautifully on the pillow. The sun that shone on the red curtains left a glow on her face. James smiled and slid into bed with her.
"Mmmph... shoo, you're cold..." Lily protested quietly.
"Aww... but Lils..." James complained, sliding his arm around her waist and pulling her close.
"Nooooo!" she whined, pulling away to the edge of the bed, "You're cold! At least Remus was warm..."
She smiled to herself as she felt James' hand, which was still on her side, tense up.
"Fine! I'll get him for you to cuddle with!" he flustered.
Lily turned to face him and laughed, "You're silly!"
James blinked, confused, "Lily... you can't blame me... you're telling me you'd rather snuggle with my best friend than me..."
Lily laughed again, "No... I said he was warm," she slid towards him and kissed him gently on the lips, "Not that I'd rather snuggle with him. You're paranoid."
James frowned, "I am not..."
"Oh you are! You're paranoid, James Potter, and you know it!" she giggled, poking his nose, "But... I do want you to leave."
James looked shocked, "But... why?!"
"Because I'm tired and I have this horrible feeling that if you stay, I won't get to sleep."
"Alright alright," James sighed, sliding out of the bed after kissing her soundly, "See you when you wake up then."
"Bye!" Lily smiled as he closed the door.
Sirius glanced at James from the cupboard he had open and smiled.
"She kicked you out, huh?"
"Yeah... she did..." James sat down in a chair at the table.
"Well I wish she was up... she's a great cook..." Sirius noted, his stomach growling.
"Mmm... I know what you mean," James agreed, "Is there anything to snack on?"
"As far as I'm aware... no."
"Darn..."
Remus walked in, holding a different book, and shook his head at his two friends.
"You two look pathetic," he comented.
"We're hungry..." Sirius began.
"... and Lily's asleep," James finished.
"Mmmhmmm..." Remus nodded. He went into the pantry and threw out two bags of potato chips.
"REMUS! I LOVE YOU MATE!" Sirius exclaimed, grabbing the bag.
James laughed, "Thanks."
Lily walked down at that moment and went to the fridge. They all watched her quietly as she got herself a glass of water and gulped it down. Setting the glass in the sink, she looked over at Sirius.
"So... how long have you been gay?" she asked bluntly.
"Whaaaa?!" he asked, confused.
"Well... if you love Remus so much, it can't have happened overnight..."
James roared with laughter as Remus sighed and shook his head.
"What?! NO! I said that because he gave me food!"
"OH!" Lily smiled, "So you love whoever feeds you?"
"What?"
"Well in that case... I don't think I should like to cook for you anymore... it might get wierd and I don't think James would appreciate it..."
Sirius slapped himself in the forehead, "Quick witted as always Evans... even when you're half asleep..."
She smiled and streched and headed back up to her room. Once they heard her door close, Sirius swore.
"Damn... I should have asked her to make me some bacon before she left..."
Remus laughed at him and headed back to the library as James sat, snikering, at the table.
"Ohhh shut up," Sirius complained leaving to the sitting room.
That evening, Lily sat comfortably in her bed, snuggled in her silk pajamas. She was happily examining the cover of a book she had planned on reading. Opening the book up to the first page, she smiled and sank deeper under the blankets. It was chilly that night.
Just as she began the prologue, and started to get into the story, she heard her name called from outside her door.
"Lils!!" came the voice, "Liiiiiiilllllllyyyyyy!"
Lily sighed, lifting herself out of her comfort zone and walked to the door.
"Yes?" she asked, opening the door to a puppy dog pouting Sirius.
"I'm hungry!" he exclaimed, falling to his knees and clinging to her waist.
"Woah! Alright alright!" she laughed, "Let go you fool!"
James walked up the stairs to see what the commotion was. He froze up and smacked himself in the forehead.
"First Remus, now you!" James sighed, "Why are you all snuggling... or whatever you're doing... with MY girl?!"
"Well James, I thought it would be a little odd to do this to Remus..." Sirus noted.
"Let go Sirius, I'll make you guys some supper!" Lily laughed.
"BOOOYAAAHHH!" Sirius exclaimed, jumping to his feet and rushing down the stairs, "TOLD YA MY CHARM WOULD WORK MOONY! YOU OWE ME A GALLEON!"
Lily laughed and walked down with James to see Remus reluctantly hand Sirius a gold coin. She walked into the kitchen and got to work. She wanted to get this over with so she could go back to her book.
"ALL DONE!" she called out when she had set everything on the table.
Almost immediately, James and Sirius were fighting with eachother to get through the doorway. Remus came up behind them and pushed them both in so they landed in a pile on the floor. He stepped over the two struggling boys and sat down.
"Thanks Lily," he smiled as James and Sirius both jumped up, shooting angry looks at eachother.
"Yeah Lils, thanks!" Sirius grinned, ploping down beside Remus and savagely attacking the food on his plate.
"Mmm... thanks," James agreed, kissing Lily as Remus shot grossed out looks at the flecks of food flying from Sirius' plate.
"Sirius... if you're going to eat like an animal, eat on the floor!" Lily joked.
Sirius looked up at her, back at his plate, to the floor then back at his plate and promptly placed it on the floor. He then transformed into Padfoot and resumed his attack on the defenseless potatoes. Lily laughed and streched.
"So can I head back to my room then?" she asked, "Or do you need something else?"
"Well... I need to be loved once in a while you know," James piped up,"You've been keeping yourself locked up all day! I haven't gotten a hug since we got back from the beach..."
"Sorry your Majesty," Lily mocked, "I didn't realize you were so needy."
"Oh. I am." James stated, swallowing a mouthful of food, "I need you in the morning... in the afternoon... and especially at night."
Remus gaged a bit and Lily's expression hardened.
"Well... if that's how you're gonna be, I'm off to bed!" she stated jokingly, walking over and hugging Remus, "Night!" she smiled, bending down to pet Sirius, "Night to you too, mutt," she smiled, squealing as he licked her cheek. She wiped it off, muttering something about disgusting while smiling, and walked past James.
"What... I don't get a kiss?!" he whined.
"Nope!" Lily grinned, "Night James!"
As Lily walked out, Remus laughed at James and Sirius transformed back to his normal self. Dusting himself off, he grinned at James.
"Rejected mate... by your own girl too... ouch," he laughed.
"Sod off Padfoot... I'm not the one with food all down my front."
"... yeah... yeah whatever..." Sirius said, his grin dropping, "Well! I'm off to get a shower!"
"Good," Remus smiled, getting up and putting his plate in the sink, "You need one!"
"... Yeah I do... see you guys later!" Sirius agreed, heading off to his room.
"Man Remus... She's been cuddling you two more than me today!" James complained.
"Sorry mate... I tried to get her off!" Remus offered.
"It's okay, but I think I'm off to bed... there's not much of a point to being up right now!" James laughed.
"Alright, see you tomorrow then."
"Night Moony!"
Later on that night, Lily ended up being too warm. Remembering she had brought no shorts comfortable enough to sleep in, she decided she would ask Sirius for a pair of his. His shorts were always the most comfortable, he was picky like that.
Lifting herself, once again, out of bed, she silently headed across the hall to Sirius' room. She didn't bother knocking, she figured he was still downstairs. Opening the door and walking in, she turned around and froze up.
Sirius was standing in front of his dresser, his dripping hair hanging to his shoulders, in a towel. She figured she must have caught him getting out of the shower, since his chest was still glistening from steam. He looked up at her and jumped, but quickly regained his composure and smiled at her.
"Hey Lils," he said, "You could have knocked you know."
"S-sorry!" she blushed, "I thought you were still downstairs..."
"Its alright," he laughed, "Don't worry about it. My towel's on, right? That's all that matters. So, how can I help you?"
"Well... I wanted to borrow a pair of shorts, if that's alright," Lily smiled.
"Sure, no problem. You can wear the softest boxers I have, sound good?" he smiled, rummaging through his drawers.
Lily nodded and caught the boxers Sirius tossed to her, holding them out to admire them.
"Hey Sirius," James said, walking into the room, "I can't sleep wha..." he froze up, seeing Lily holding his best friends boxers and Sirius in a towel, "WHAT THE HELL?!"
"James mate! Calm down!" Sirius jumped.
Lily blinked, clutching the shorts in one hand and gave James a questioning look.
"What exactly are you two doing?!" James exclaimed, looking from his towel-clad friend to his girlfriend.
"What's wrong?" Remus asked, popping his head into the doorway.
"You tell me!" James spluttered, turning to look at Remus, "I walked in and Lily is holding Padfoots boxers and he's in a towel!"
"Ah... I see the problem."
"YEAH! You get it!"
"You're blowing things out of proportion."
"Yea- wait... what?!"
"You're blowing things out of proportion," Lily repeated, "I just wanted a pair of shorts... sheesh."
James stared, stunned, as she walked past him and into her own room. He looked over at Sirius who shrugged.
"Really mate... she didn't think I was in here."
"Wow... you are paranoid..." Remus chuckled, leaving the room.
