Pet Names (Or not)
AN: So, it's Valentine's Day. As a thing I dislike it but I haven't written anything in ages (I'm working on a fairy tale, sorry). Mopps, I'm pretty sure you don't follow me on here but if you see this, you are both a purple kettle and a glittery sandwich and as I think some ecoweekers do follow me here, hello, I miss you, I will see you in the summer! And I know this is short and strange, I'm sorry!
Disclaimer: Not J.K Rowling. Still. It's rubbish.
"How about Poppet?"
"Try again."
"Precious?"
"I am not the one ring and you are not Gollum"
"Why are you so bloody difficult?"
"I don't see why you need a pet name for me anyway!"
"Red?"
"James, enough!"
"But Lilster"
"No. No. Thrice no"
"Give it up Prongs, there's a good boy."
"Never. Evans is just too… Formal?"
"James, I said yes two hours ago and if you don't shut up soon, so help me, I can and will retract that."
"But Lily-flower-"
"Really?"
"What's going on?"
"Oh good, Remus, the voice of reason. Tell your stupid best friend to stop giving ridiculous pet names, please?"
"That literally confused me more. Why is James giving Lily pet names?"
"Oh right, well Prongs asked Red-"
"Sirius"
"-Lily, even, out again and she said yes and he's now spent, ooh, twenty minutes trying to think of a pet name for her."
"I see. I'm going to return to the library now, Pete, are you coming with me?"
"…Pete's still here?"
"Well, he's gone now…"
"Fine, cool, whatever. Babydoll?"
"I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer."
"I like her, can we keep her?"
"Shut up Sirius!"
"What about green-eyes?"
"I swear to Merlin…"
"Sweetpea?"
"Potter"
"Okay, I'll shut up now."
"That would be nice, yes"
"… Lily-petal…"
"James, you know I can hear you from the door, right?"
"Sorry, sorry."
