I own nothing you recognize.
This is for the 500 Different Pairings Challenge!
Pair #1: James and Lily.
James tries muggle things.
(Thanks to the Writers Nook gals for the ideas)

"Hey, Prongs, what's that?" Sirius asked, pointing out the little black ink peeking out from the edge of his shirt.

James only response was a smile.

"Oh come on Prongs, I told you all about my tattoos!"

"I know you did, even when I asked you not to."

"Well, they're interesting stories!" Sirius huffed out before sitting on the couch next to Remus who was doing his best to ignore the conversation.

"Drop it Pads."

"I'll find out eventually!"

The snort from Remus had Sirius stomping away.

"You know he'll find a way to see it."

"Well, yeah."

"But?"

"I don't think he'll recognize it. Much less figure out what it means."

Remus tilted his head, taking in the little ink he can see. Two angles that looked like they might meet if the shirt moved over and revealed a little more. Before he was able to see if that was true, the front door opened and Lily skipped in with bags of groceries. James got off the sofa and wrapped his arms around her waist, barely lifting her skirt- just enough to reveal a small bit of ink on her thigh.

He was able to see the full tattoo once she kissed James.

An aeroplane.

Oh, no. Sirius can never find out.

"What was that Moony?"

Crap, he had said that out loud... "The- the... aeroplane?"

"JAMES! You promised not to show them! I knew I should have made you get it somewhere else!"

"I didn't Lils."

"He didn't."

"You're just saying that so he doesn't sleep on your couch this week."

"Well, there's that too... but-" and Remus just vaguely motioned for her thigh.

She squeaked when she realized her saw her tattoo.

"Lily-flower! I knew I should have made you get it on your hip!"

She groaned as they heard Sirius come back downstairs.

"Evans! Tell your no good boy toy that he needs to play show and tell with his new tattoo!"

"No, and I've been Potter for nearly a year Black."

"Liiiiiiiiiiily"

"Go before I hex you!"

Sirius tried one last pout before bolting when Lily grabbed her wand.

James turned to Remus, "You didn't tell him?"

"No."

"Why?"

Remus cocked an eyebrow, "I'd rather not end up tattooed James."

Lily snorted, "You'd have to get him onto a plane first Rems."

"And the idea of the mile high club wouldn't convince him?"

Lily blushed.

"Yeah. That's what I thought. So help me, if either of you tell him, I'll hex you."

James started to laugh, "But Moony, he'll-"

"You know I hate the idea of flying and we've been saving up."

Lily joined in on James' laughter as Remus continued to mumble about horrible influences as he left their house.

"You know he'll eventually figure it out."

"I know James, but for now it's a fun little secret."

Lily looked at the box in her hands, "You realize that Remus is going to kill you, right James?"

"Us, it's a gift from the both of us."

"No, no it isn't. My part of the gift was the honeymoon. You are planting the rest of the idea in his head."

James laughed, "Fine, fine. Let's get on with the rest of this ridiculous plan"

"It's not ridiculous."

"You want to paint a pumpkin Lily."

"It's cute! Petunia did it for her son."

"Petunia is not a good way to convince me. We need to find another way."

"But James-"

"We could charm children's toys to dance around!"

"No."

"Or we could levitate a banner!"

"We could serve all baby foods."

James cringed, "We could charm confetti poppers to cry like a baby when popped."

"We could make labels for wine bottles."

"We could charm aeroplanes to fly around with tiny little banners and they all have to be caught before they reveal the message... you know since it was where-"

"JAMES! No. absolutely not. I will not deal with those jokes from your friends forever. Just no."

"Okay, right, um. How about we make a spell that makes it so every animal reference is changed to the word baby?"

She snorted, "Between the four of you every sentence has three references. I think I'd get rather sick of the word."

"Fine, then you come up with something!"

"I'm trying, I just... I wanted to do it the muggle way! Everything is always in your world. That's what started this all! I just wanted you to learn about my world."

James hugged her, kissing her temple, "Well, first all this is all your world, wizarding and muggle... But I think we could make a tiny stocking for the mantle."

"That would put off our announcement a bit."

"Do you really want to deal with Sirius for the first bit anyways?"

"Now that you mention it... maybe we can announce when he's born."

"He?"

"Just a feeling I have."

The first thing Remus noticed walking into the house was the small little sock placed in between the Potter's stockings. His eyes went wide and then darted to her stomach, she nodded and put a finger to her lips. Sirius and Peter were too busy talking about Sirius' motorcycle to notice the small stocking on the mantle. Soon they all moved to the sitting room for their first gift, their tradition since they were in their first year. One gift before they ate breakfast- then the rest of them after.

"Okay Sirius, get the presents with the stars."

"Why me?"

"You're the best at fetch."

He narrowed his eyes, "You're lucky I like you, Lily."

Once everyone had their present in hand, Lily motioned for everyone to open it.

Peter had been given a pocket watch with a rat, wolf, dog and stag on the inner surface.

James got a new holster for his wand to help with Auror training.

Lily had opened up a box with a full set of Gryffindor wear for the little baby.

Sirius was currently looking at a strange photo and Remus was glaring at James.

"Is... is this your shoulder Prongs? I... why?"

"Well, you wanted to know what my tattoo was... so... Happy Christmas mate."

He stared at the photo again while Remus looked up at the ceiling swearing under his breath... though not quite quietly enough.

"Remus..."

He grumbled.

"Remus, what do we say?"

"I'm a werewolf, not a swear-wolf."

They all laughed at the old joke that had followed Remus around since third year when Lily caught him swearing about dropping his quill.

"Pads, that's an aeroplane."

"Okay. And..."

Remus looked at him then tossed the gift he received onto his lap.

"Now I'm really confused."

Lily chuckled and Peter looked between her and James.

"Wait... Did you..."

"Yup! It was AMAZING."

"JAMES!"

"Well, it was... plus..." he motioned at the gift she was still kind of hiding in her lap.

"Yeah, yeah. So... There's this muggle tradition I talked James into."

Sirius laughed, "Oh mate, I thought you gave up trying muggle things when she brought you on a roller coaster."

"You mean metal death trap."

She smacked his arm, "At least you're belted in on that... on brooms you have nothing to keep you safe!"

"ANYWAY. As I was saying. She brought me to yet another metal death trap. But this time I was promised a distraction while possibly dying."

She rolled her eyes, "It's called the mile high club James."

"I know that. So, when we were up in the aeroplane, she brought me to the loo and well, brought me off."

"Wait... you mean you shagged in the air?"

"Yes."

"And these-" he held up the tickets they gave Remus "are so I can do the same thing?"

Remus had resumed glaring at James.

"Precisely."

"And the tattoos?"

"Memories. Wonderful, wonderful memories."

Remus snorted.

"Though, we didn't know we'd have a different sort of reminder as well."

Sirius cocked his head to the side as Peter started to ask, "Wait, are you-"

He looked around and spotted the little sock on the mantle, "You are!"

Sirius got a huge grin at that, finally catching on when the mini scarf slid from Lily's lap.

"So... Mister and Misses Potter, I guess we all know whether you two were very very nice or very very naughty this year!"

Lily groaned as the Marauders all burst into laughter.
