A/N: Haven't written anything for a while so I wanted to get out something short and sweet.
This is a sort of AU where James and Lily have cell phones and therefore text each other constantly. Also, I've made them have an already established relationship for this.
This is also highly based off of the song "When We First Met" by Hellogoodbye. This fic does not do that song justice, I swear. Just go watch the music video for that song and you'll see what I'm talking about.
When We First Met
To: Lily Evans
Your hair is getting pretty long.
JP
To: James Potter
In case you hadn't noticed, and you probably haven't since you're clearly only interested in my hair, the NEWTS are coming up and unlike most people, I'm actually going to study.

To: Lily Evans
I was just saying. You should cut it; I think it would look cute.
JP
To: James Potter
SINCE WHEN DO I MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON WHAT YOU THINK IS "CUTE", JAMES POTTER?
LE
To: Lily Evans
I don't know. My hair is getting pretty long too. We should both cut our hair together!
JP
To: James Potter
Last time I let you cut my hair was a disaster. Sirius showed up, and I still find little clumps of hair in my drain. It's disgusting.
LE
To: Lily Evans
I don't think your hair is disgusting at all. It's the loveliest color, what burns brighter than a thousand suns. (Sirius says it's dyed, but I know it's not. You have the prettiest roots. Although sometimes they are pretty dark…)
JP
To: Lily Evans
Besides, that was when we first met. We both had long hair then. I had just wanted to cut it all off, and now look at us. We've had like, five haircuts since then and now it's long once again!
JP
To: James Potter
That just shows how long we've been together.
LE
To: James Potter
Too long.
LE
To: Lily Evans
Awww… You don't mean that :)
JP
To: James Potter
You're right :)
LE
To: James Potter
Wait, five haircuts? Have you kept track of every haircut we've gotten in our relationship? That's just creepy…
LE
To: Lily Evans
Ugh, this day feels like its on repeat. It's the same old stuff over and over again. Can't wait to see you next class!
JP
To: James Potter
Thank goodness we see each other soon, now you can stop distracting me with these silly messages.
LE
To: Lily Evans
Love you too!
JP
(PS. You're roots are showing)
To: James Potter
MY HAIR IS NATURALLY THIS COLOR AND YOU KNOW IT!
LE
To: Lily Evans
I ought to be near you right now so I can see.
JP
To: Lily Evans
I sense our paths will cross soon.
I sense that I'll always be near you.
I sense that…
Lily, as long as I live I'll stay with you. I swear. Your path is my path.
(I predicted all that in Divination just now).
JP
To: James Potter
I love you too, you big oaf.
LE
(PS. You know Alice, the one dating Longbottom? She said she could hook us up with some haircuts later.)
To: James Potter
And no, you can't bring Sirius.
