"I have climbed highest mountain I have run
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you"
-Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2
You could call her his drug.
The way he watched her every movement was almost unhealthy, but so was their overall relationship. They seemed to orbit themselves around each other. If Lily made a move James was sure to copy it and vice versa.
They spent most of their time together, never wanting to separate from one another.
Even now as he was bored and Lily was happily reading. Unusually she was paying him no mind, as though they had a fight. His brown eyes stared intently at her as her emerald orbs scanned the printed out words in her book.
As if on purpose he slowed his breath down to match hers and brushed a stray strand of red hair out of her face.
Lily smiled at him gratefully and returned to her book. Although now it appeared that she had forgiven him for whatever falling out they had earlier.
She curled into a ball on the couch and snuggled herself against James. Lily rested the back of her head against his chest and continued to read.
James wrapped her arms around her in a loving embrace. It appeared as if he were daring anyone to try and steal her. He now read over her shoulder.
If you looked closely you would be able to see his breathing move the hair at the very top of her head. You would also be able to see the small smile playing on Lily's lips. She was very ticklish and his breath was against her freckled cheeks.
As James skimmed the book that caught his love's attention he somehow was able to watch her. Lily now appeared to have abandoned the novel and taken to watching him out of the corner of her eye.
Any normal person who walked in would consider them a lovely couple but those who were 'in the know' as they say, knew different.
Even though they claimed it false, James Potter and Lily Evans were each other's drug.
I have no idea where this came from but I sort of like it. My writing style is sort of different and it's an extremely different take on the Lily/James relationship. I hope you like it as much as I do.
