A/N: the obvious belongs to the Queen. Don't worry about me rushing into James and Lily's relationship. I gave you guys the heads up that they were going to get together, and they did. Now that that's over with, we'll be digging deeper into their relationship and how they feel about each other. Enjoy the ride. Also, I totally thought that James and Lily were in 6th year and not in 7th, so they wouldn't have graduated. Whoops! Sorry, I've been spacy today. So yes, they'll be going back to Hogwarts at the end of the summer. So so sorry!

Dear Lily,

I've decided something. I'm going to take you on a proper date. Yep, you read that right. I, James Potter, am going to take you, Lily Evans (my girlfriend), on an officially proper date.

Anyway, I haven't seen you since the day after school got out and I'm missing you terribly. Be ready tomorrow at 10am for our date.

Much love,

James.

It had been weeks since graduation, meaning it had been weeks since she had seen James. His mother took him on a trip for a bit, and she was getting ready for Petunias wedding. Yes, they've written back and forth for a while, but the fact that in less than 24 hours she was going to see her boyfriend excited her loads. Weird how since she and James became a couple, they have hung out less and less. It was probably due to the fact that school was over, but it was still frustrating. Now that she knew he was coming over tomorrow, she had to figure out what to wear! After spending half an hour going through her entire closet, she decided to go where she had never gone before.

"Who is it?"

"Petunia, I need your help."

"Ew, go away."

"I have a date tomorrow and don't know what to wear." Lily sighed, cringing at the fact that she just shared some of her personal life with her sister.

In an instant the door opened and Petunia stood there with her hands on her hips, "Well why didn't you say that before?" she said, grabbing Lily by the arms and basically throwing her into her room. Two hours later, Lily walked into her room with freshly plucked eyebrows, straighented hair, and a perfect outfit. She spent the rest of the day reading and relaxing, dreaming of what was to come.

The next day at 10am, James walked up to Lily's house and knocked on the door. He hadn't seen her in weeks and he missed her like crazy. Now that he was about to see her, he had no idea what to do or say. All he wanted to do was kiss her. Before he could delv deeper into his thoughts, Lily opened the door wearing the cutest outfit he had ever seen in the entire world. She wore denim shorts, a yellow tank top, and brown sandals, simple yet insanely attractive. Along with her outfit, she wore a huge smile.

"James!" She exclaimed, throwing herself into his arms. He could feel the warmth of her skin against his and he tried not to get too turned on. Instead, he leaned down and kissed the top of her head.

"Well hello to you too" he teased.

She pulled back and shoved his shoulder playfully.

"Merlin Lily, I've missed you," he admitted

"Ditto" she replied, "So what are we doing today?"

"We are going on a picnic"

"A picnic?"

"A picnic!"

"Okay then!"

"Lets go!" James exclaimed, taking her hand in his and walking down the street. After a couple of minutes of mindless chatter and walking, they stopped in front of a giant motorbike.

"Sirius?" Lily asked immediately.

"Of course. Now hop on back" James plopped down on the front of the bike and patted the space behind him. Lily looked completely freaked out and James thought it was adorable.

"Trust me?" he asked

She nodded and climbed on back. And they were off, flying above the houses and trees in almost an instant.

"This is awesome!" Lily screamed, clutching on to James a bit tighter, not that he minded. When they finally reached their destination, James landed the bike and helped Lily off like a perfect gentleman.

"Where are we?" She asked, looking around.

"We are in a park, silly. Now which park, I don't have a clue. I saw it a few days ago whilst driving-rather flying- around with Sirius and thought it looked nice."

"Hmph, it's beautiful"

And beautiful it was. The grass was a bright green with dandelions growing all over. There were giant trees with huge branches for climbing and leaves thick enough to provide the prefect amount of shade. James took her hand in his once again and led her to a spot right in the middle of a hill. Then, he laid out all of the food. Strawberries and ice cream and sandwiches and apples, simple but yummy.

After making their way through the fruits and sandwiches, they dug into the ice cream.

"Holy merlin James, this is delicious! How'd you know moose tracks was my favorite?" She said, licking her spoon.

"Mentioned it a while back, tucked it away for future reference" He replied simply, licking the chocolate ice cream off of hers.

He noticed that she had a bit of ice cream on her lip and went to rub it off with his thumb. He could feel the heat pouring from her lips, and she could feel the warm touch of his thumb. James gulped audibly and Lily turned pink. Before he could stop himself, he lifted her chin and leaned in.

Lily felt her heart speed up.

James thought he was going to die.

Lily couldn't deal with the anticipation any longer.

James just wanted to kiss her.

Before they knew it, their lips brushed ever so slightly. James gripped the back of her head and brought her lips to his.

His lips were hard against her soft ones, but they seemed to mold together perfectly. Their lips continued to move against the others in perfect harmony, until James felt Lily open her mouth the tiniest bit. James took the hint and slowly, but surely, their tongues were wrestling as this turned into a full and proper snog.

James felt every nerve come alive. He felt warm and bubbly and happy for the first time since his fathers passing. He couldn't get enough of her to begin with, and now that he knew what kissing her was like, he never wanted to stop.

Lily felt the exact same way. Kissing James felt right, plus it was a lot of fun. He really did know what he was doing, but he took everything slow. She didn't want it to end, she wanted to say in this moment and kiss James Potter forever.

But they eventually had to stop and come up for air, cause oxygen is a bit important.

"Wow" Lily breathed

"Holy shit" James responded.

They looked at each other for a second and broke out into wide smiles.

"That was brilliant!" James finally said.

"Absolutely!"

And before they knew it, they were kissing again.

Oh, young love.
