a/n: from the nextgen drabble tag on the NGFs
for lovisa [lowi] because she's amazing, she requested it on the drabble tag, and her reviews make my day =]
note: this drabble contains mentions of slash - that is, two boys with homosexual tendencies in a relationship.
a day in the life
jamesteddy exhausted
Teddy rolls away from the dark haired boy, completely exhausted. Sweat lines his brow like a second skin, the sheen reflected in the dim lighting.
"Aw, are you tired, love?" the boy says mockingly, brown eyes darting to where Teddy lies slumped on the ground, the ghostly green of a nearby light making him look even more sickly than he actually was.
"We really should have stopped after the third round, because I don't think I'm ever going to find that shirt. It would be really awkward if one of your cousins came along right now," Teddy pants, his voice loud in the near dark. He notices with a sigh that there's dirt mixed with the paint covering his bare torso, and promises that the next time he comes over to the Potter's, he'll bring a spare shirt. Or maybe a whole outfit - just in case.
"Well, I kind of like you this way," James replies, and even though the light weaving through the trees above them is very faint, Teddy is sure that James is at least one of two things - either smirking at him, or incredibly horny. Again.
"I know you do, but let's deal with all that once we kick Fred's arse at paintball, okay?" Teddy replies, revitalised by the idea of this game finally ending, because Merlin, he's been playing this game for hours, and he'd much rather be in bed with James than getting shot at by said boy's cousins.
"Deal," James says back, and rolls over to be closer to the older boy, who is family in all but blood, and Godric, he's glad they aren't actually related. They kiss swiftly, a giggle nearby interrupting the moment, and they turn their heads at precisely the same moment.
"Lucy and Lorcan?" Teddy asks, and James nods, prompting the turquoise haired boy to groan. "Why are they caught so easily? Every game. I'd rather have a challenge."
"I love it when you get competitive," James teases, and kisses him again, a lingering kiss that says that they have all the time in the world. Somehow, the game doesn't seem so important anymore.
For more information on the whole Weasley/Potters playing paintball thing, please see these endless days of summer. And yes, that was some blatant plugging ;)
Please review! =]
