A/N: This is a fic about James's proposal to Lily. So, I was sitting at the computer, reading through my email when I thought 'hey, why not do a proposal fic?' lol. Bit random? Yes. But that's me. And I was also eating s'mores at the time. This is way off my diet.
Mo: In fact, we were just s'mores-ing a few minutes ago! Go us!
Marry Me, Damn it!
"No, that's stupid." James Potter sat on a couch in front of the fire in the Griffindor Common Room. He had been in the same spot going on four hours.
James had been ignoring everyone who tried to talk to him, with the exception of his girlfriend of three years, Lily Evans.
She had stopped by five times trying to get James off the couch and outside with her. It was a beautiful Saturday morning, and Lily couldn't figure out why James wouldn't go outside.
James started muttering to himself and then shook his head aggravated.
"Doesn't anyone know the meaning of quiet around here?!" He screamed. The only problem with his request was that it was quiet.
There were two other people in the room. Everyone else was outside.
"I can't work like this," James growled. He bent his head back over the parchment on his lap and continued writing. He was stopped however, when a lot of red hair invaded his thinking space.
"Do you mind?" he asked irritably while trying to swat the hair away.
"Yes, I do mind, James Potter." James looked up at his girlfriend staring at him with her hands on her hips. "It is a gorgeous day and I won't have you sitting in the musty common room all day long. You are coming outside with me right now mister."
"But Lil," he whined, "I got stuff to do." He waved the parchment in his hand around as proof.
"Oh yea? Let me see." After a minute of fighting, James relinquished the paper. Lily smiled triumphantly and looked at it.
Her mouth dropped open.
"Do you mean to tell me, that all this time you have been working on Quidditch strategies?" she angrily asked as he nodded his head. "And tell me, why couldn't you do this outside?"
"Because..." He looked around searching for a good reason. "It's too bright?" he asked hopefully.
"You are hopeless!" Lily screamed. She then collapsed onto the couch and started rubbing her temples.
"Jamie, I haven't seen you in a long time. You have been working on these things for a week. We never spend anytime together anymore." She sadly told him.
"I know Lils," James reached over and pulled Lilly into his arms. "I promise you, as soon as I am done with this, we can spend the whole day together."
He leaned forward and placed a kiss on her lips. She smiled at him and leaned her head against his shoulder.
"Can you at least sit outside?" She put on her best puppy dog eyes.
James gave her one look then agreed. "All right. You know I can't resist you. I'm just going to go up and get a blanket to sit on. Then I will be right out."
She nodded and sat on the couch waiting for him.
'Damn, this is going to be harder than I thought. She is everywhere I go.' He thought as he walked up the stairs. 'I really want this to be special.'
He opened the door to his dorm and went over to his trunk. He rummaged around and tried to find the blanket he was looking for.
It wasn't there.
"Where is it?" James asked out loud, "Under the bed?"
He leaned on his stomach over the bed and looked through the space. It was clean for once.
He was getting really frustrated now. He turned over so he was lying on his back and looked up at the bed curtains. He looked at the top of the canopy and got an idea.
"I know! I will write 'Marry Me Lily?' on the inside of the canopy, so then when she sleeps over tonight, she will lie down and see it!" James sat up. "It's perfect!" He fell off the bed with a thud.
"Jamie?" Lily called from downstairs, "Are you ok up there? Do you need any help?"
"No! I'm all right." James rubbed the elbow he fell onto. "I'll be down in a sec!"
James made sure to write down his idea. He then ran down the common room steps and out the portrait hole before he realized that Lily was still on the couch.
He stuck his head back into the common room and with a goofy smile on his face said, "Come on Lils, I have been waiting for so long!" She walked over and gave him a playful smack on the arm.
Lily kissed James on the lips and started walking down the hallway.
"So, James..." She looked toward where James was supposed to be and didn't see him.
She looked back and found him taking baby steps towards her. She laughed and ran back.
She grabbed a hold on his arm and dragged him down the hallway.
"Come on. I wanna get out before the sun goes down. At the speed your going, well get there by midnight," She joked.
They speed walked down the hallways until they reached the front doors. Lilly flung them open. The sunlight streamed through the doors and James recoiled and hissed.
Lily laughed and ran outside.
James sat on the grass under his favorite tree by the lake to finish his ideas. He looked out over the lake and saw Lily frolicking through the flowers.
He smiled as he looked at the scene. Another idea came to his head. He quickly scribbled it down before running out to join Lily.
LATER THAT DAY...
"Are you ready for bed yet? You've been in there for an hour!" James was lying on his bed in only his boxers. "I wanna get to sleep and you know I can't sleep without you in my arms."
Lily walked out of the bathroom and over to the bed. She climbed on the edge and crawled to James.
She kissed him softly and then lay next to him. He wrapped his arms around her and squeezed her lightly.
Then he climbed on top of her and kissed her again before walking to the bathroom.
While doing his business, he started thinking, "I wonder if she saw it yet? Well, I'll know when I get out." He pulled his boxers back up and walked into the other room.
He saw that Lily was lying on the bed facing the ceiling.
'She must have seen it.' James thought. When he walked over and called her name, the only answer he got was a snore.
'Maybe she will see it tomorrow,' James thought before he snuggled up to Lily and fell asleep.
