A/N: I'm a sucker for Lily-James one-shots and when I'm not writing them, I'm reading them. This is supposed to take place in their seventh year, just about when they begin dating. Enjoy : )
Lily Evans looked at the mountains. She looked at the sunset, at the moon just visible in the evening sky, at a bug crawling in the grass, at her trainers. She looked everywhere but into the hazel eyes of James Potter.
She would not look. She couldn't.
Why not? an indignant voice inside her head protested.
She knew why in an instant.
James was so close. Too close. He was fogging her brain, she couldn't think straight. Every thought in her head was of him.
Well? the voice said again.
Lily took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. He looked back.
She could see he wasn't waiting for an answer, he was waiting for her.
Slowly, he leaned forward. Quickly, she let him.
His lips tasted sweet, like chocolate. Her tongue melted away at his touch.
His hand found the side of her face, and hers wound into his hair.
She broke away, and her lips found his ear.
"I love you too."
