"Are you going to share?"
James looked at Lily with wide eyes, staring at the muffin in her hand hungrily. It was the last muffin on the Gryffindor table and Lily snatched it a few seconds before James was able to. Now, he was stuck admiring the muffin that was in her hands.
"Nope," she replied cheerfully. She plucked a piece from its original state and plopped it in her mouth, smacking her lips together teasingly. She flashed him an another teasing smile before plopping another piece into her mouth.
"Li-lyyyyyyy," he complained, looking at her with his lips slightly parted, pouting. "I want a piece too!"
She sighed, looking up at him. "Alright."
"Really?" He looked surprised, as if he didn't expect her to comply so soon, or at all for that matter.
"Mhmm," she nodded, smirking to herself. "Open your mouth and close your eyes."
Without hesitation, he closed his eyes and parted his lips farther, allowing Lily to feed him a piece of the muffin.
However, that was just his expectations.
What actually happened contrasted deeply with his expectations. In reality, he felt something else... someone's tongue being shoved down his throat. Knowing fully well who it was, James could not complain or protest, even if he didn't get the muffin in the end.
That sneaky little-oh was that a piece of muffin he tasted in between her teeth? Mmmm...

"You're James Potter. You're never nervous-not even before a major exam or the Quidditch final," Lily constantly tells him whenever the topic of nervousness comes up.
However, that is certainly not true. He does get nervous before exams and Quidditch matches, but he chooses to not let Lily see that side of him. He gets extremely nervous when she is around him, smiling and laughing with him. He is simply nervous being in her presence, being afraid of making a fool of himself. However, because he his so nervous, he ends up making a fool out of himself anyways.
He looked down at her slowly and said firmly, "I'm always nervous when it comes to you though."
