Lipgloss and Cologne

Trust, part two. 53.


James stormed out of his house. Sure, he looked calm, but did Lily not know how much he loved her? Why would he cheat? Why would he ruin everything he had worked for? He had grabbed his invisibility cloak on the way out, so he wouldn't be seen by her. He hid behind a large oak tree, watching Lily run out of the house and cry. He couldn't take it. He ran so far and dissapparated to Sirius' house.

"James?" Sirius walked out, looking at James. He looked like he was hit by a truck; his breathing was shallow, and his eyes were red and puffy.

"I think it's over between me and Lily, Sirius." James took in a deep and shaky breath.

"Bloody hell, mate! What happened?" Sirius and James were sitting on Sirius' couch. His house was a typical bachelor pad. It consisted of deep reds and blues. There was a disco ball hanging from the ceiling. If you were to press a couple buttons in his main sitting room, a combination, a few beds would come from unexpected places. Playboy Sirius...

"She found a red bra under our bed. I don't know who the hell owns it! She wouldn't believe me! She has trust issues, and I love her." James put his hands through his hair, and sighed. Sirius paled. "Have a ciggarette?" James asked Sirius, who passed him one. Lighting it, James inhaled.

"James, you told Lily you'd quit. Why are you smoking again?" Sirius lit a ciggarette up for himself.

"She's never gonna see me again, she's never going to want to..." James puffed on the white stick.

"James... you know how I was living at your house when you were on vacation..."

"Sirius... that was some harlot of yours, wasn't it? She owns the bra?"

"I think her name was Denika..."

"What the hell, Sirius?! That is my marriage you ruined!" James shouted. Flicking the ashes of his ciggarette, Sirius stood up, taking the ciggarette from James.

"We can fix this!" Sirius doubted the ciggarette of James, and dragged him out the door. Side apparating, the two were at James and Lily's small house. They didn't live at Godric's Hollow yet.

Lily was asleep on the ground, her figure shaking with the cold. James touched her hand. Lily awoke.

"James? Why am I outside?" Then it hit her. She turned away, 'hmph'ing. Sirius touched Lily's shoulder.

"Lily? Listen, I know we have so many differences, and you have no reason to trust me, but, do. The bra was from, oh, what was her name? Oh, yeah, Denika. We kindof slept together in your bed. Well, we didn't get much sleep. That girl can really keep you busy. She was so flexible. I'd never don--"

"Okay, Sirius! I get it!" Lily cut him off, smiling. James looked at Lily and took her hands.

"James? Have you been smoking?" Lily asked, smelling him.

"Yes..."

"Why?"

"I love you, dammit! I wouldn't hurt you, ever!" James kissed Lily, and Sirius grinned, applauding.

"I love you too, James!" Lily smiled.

Sirius looked at a pretend, and invisible camera.

"So all is right in the world..." Lily and James laughed, and the three went inside.

Indeed, all was right in the world.

Okay, this is a second part. Would this count as a twoshot? I think so. Thanks for reading this chapter!
