This is a oneshot that popped into my head after a drawing class. LJ shippers, enjoy!
"Hey, Potter," Lily said perkily, "Listen, my mom says I need to keep in old Muggle hobbies. You're vain enough to stand still for a drawing, right? Or do you have to prank someone every other moment?"
"Lily flower, I've changed. 'Course I'll sit still for a portrait." Lily led Potter... er.... James into a field that no one really knew about, as to not be interrupted.
Lily sat down on a rock that gave her elevation and protection from the ground. She motioned for him to sit down in front of her. He obliged. "Don't smile, make your face into a natural expression... tilt your head a little to the right, now up.... good. Hold that pose, James" Lily said in a quiet, musical voice.
Lily traced his firm jawline, turning to a strong rounded chin. She then kept on that line over his ear, then around his tousled raven hair, completing the circle with the other half of James' head. She reached out a hand, then hesitated, "Can I..."
"Yeh," James replied. Lily lightly traced his face with a feather- light touch, for the shape of his head, the angle of his hair. His eyes, his nose, his glasses.
His lips. All of this went onto Lily's paper, used to make light pencil marks on, then absorbs pen stronger. Lily found herself rambling, about teachers, weather, anything. Soon, she had a copy of James' face, in black and white.
"Lily? Are you done?" James asked. Lily found that her pencil was suspended in midair, having completed its task.
"No, James. It needs color." For this phase of art, she focused on her work rather than letting her hand know what to do. The tanned skin. The boyish freckles. The stubble marking his jaw, his chin. His hair. Those hazel eyes, enchanting eyes. The reddish cheeks, the worry lines scarring his forehead.
His pink lips. All were colored on Lily's paper. "You can look now, James."
And look he did. He saw the paper replica of himself, and smiled.
"Love you too, Lily"
