A/N: Yet another 400 word one-shot in which Lily and James get together. I'm starting to amaze myself with how many ways I can write them getting together ... and how limited my attention span is. Hmmm... Anyways, please read and review, but no flames please. (And, if you must flame, at least have the decency to sign in). Thank you. Oh! This is inspired a bit by The Veronica's Speechless and 10 Things I Hate About You, which is an amazing movie.
Speechless
For the first time in history, Lily Evans was speechless. No. Not just speechless. Confused. Flabbergasted. Completely and totally in over her head. She had no inclination, whatsoever, what on earth she could say that would make this situation - highly unlikely and totally unsuspected situation - even plausible. Remotely thinkable, even. Even close to normal.
Because, honestly, who would have suspected that? Not after how he had been acting towards her the past year and a half (cold and distant), not after everything they'd gone though together. Not even after she had dropped tiny hints and he had flat out rejected her ...
She had no idea what she could say to make it right, so she decided to get mad.
"WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU THINKING! You have got some nerve, doing this, yo- MMPH!"
And then he kissed her, again. Lily was in such a bliss that she had completely forgotten that she was mad at him ... for roughly five seconds. Then she pushed him away and yelled again.
"JAMES POTTER! DON'T THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU KISS ME I'LL SHUT UP! In fact, I won't let you! I won't! Not until you explain, with long, lengthy, detailed and drawn-out explanations, the process by which you connected kissing me to Transfiguration tutoring, because quite frankly I - Oh no, don't try it mister! Don't! James! James! Hee hee. James, stop. Ha ha ha! Jame- MMPH!"
"Merlin, Lily, do you do how bloody sexy you are when you're mad?"
And just the way he looked at her then, Lily knew, made her knees weak and her heart beat faster and suddenly it was hard to breathe and somewhere in her brain she figured out that she had to be in love with this crazy boy in front of her. She had to be, because there was no other explanation for this unexplainable feeling she had deep in her chest that was telling her now that it would be a very bad idea to do anything but snog him passionately until he gave her back her breath. Because it was her breath, darnnit! What right had he to steal it away?
And then he touched the side of her face so nicely and softly and looked at her in that way that made her insides melt and all her anger went away and she was kissing him.
And she wouldn't have it any other way.
PS: I'm going to try and return the favor for every review, now, because I've learned how awesome a good review really is. It'd be really cool if everyone started doing the same. xD
