Unrequited?
Chapter 4.
I've just been to see the Phantom of the Opera, and I'm in an angsty mood. Fortunately I'm crap at writing angst, so there wont be much on here.
Anyway…. here you go!
LILY POV
The walk up to the castle was completely uneventful. We walked in silence. Once we reached head tower James muttered the password.
"Moon Pie…" the portrait swung open.
I sniggered "Moon Pie…" (A/N: To the Buffy fan, and cos I love Giles)
James looked at me confused. I smiled weakly.
We walked into he common room.
We sat by the fire. I hoped to warm up, and the fire roared to life just as we approached.
We sat awkwardly for a few minutes before James spoke.
"Did Moo-Remus tell you why I hit him?"
"Yes and I'm ok with it." I reached over and took his hand to reassure him.
"Lily why are you comforting me? Remus is the one you need to talk to. I've liked you for years, Remus has just discovered about his feelings."
Lily laughed.
"James what are you talking about. Remus told me, you love me. Why would Remus love me?"
James scooted over and sat on the floor in front of me. "Lily, please tell me what Remus said."
Lily backed into the sofa. "Well he told me that you hit him because he said you didn't love me. And that you loved me."
James leaned towards me and took my hand. He started stroking my thumb gently, and leaned his chin on my knee.
"Lily I, I love you so much, how could I not? Lily you have been my everything for so long. And Remus has noticed how intelligent and charming and outstanding that you." He lifted his eyes to mine. "Remus loves you Lily. I don't know if he loves you as much as me, or if he has dream about you every night since he was 14, or if he has an engagement ring just for you. But Remus doesn't lie; and neither do I."
He stood and walked out of the room.
I'm sorry. But I went into over-drive with the cheesiness. If it's bad please tell me.
