╰┈➤✧.* IN WHICH

Lily and James are locked in a closet together until they.. Kiss and Make-Up

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

this one is dedicated to my JilyOcGang, as an apology for our conversation on discord (angie please dont hurt me)

She watched as James sighed, his forehead against the door, his hand curled into a fist, no longer banging.

"Sirius let us out" he groaned.

Lily rolled her eyes from the upturned bucket she was sitting on. Having already shouting herself hoarse, she had given up on any semblance of reason from Sirius and Marlene.

"NOT UNTIL YOU GUYS FINALLY MAKE UP" Marlene yelled back at James.

"AND MAKE OUT BECAUSE WHY THE HELL NOT" Sirius added. 

At least this broom closet was a rather spacious one, comparatively, unlike most of the ones she and James pulled people out of during their patrols. She could actually stand up without going right up against James.

If only they hadn't gotten into that stupid argument with him, she never would have been here. In hindsight, it was mostly just a squabble that hadn't needed to be drawn out the way it was, but she had been pissed at him because she'd seen him parading around with Karina Klutch.

She wasn't jealous of course, anyone would have been a little put off after watching someone literally almost have dry sex on the breakfast table. Not jealous at all.

And he'd been angry, because Hector Marter Lily's (now ex) boyfriend had punched him. He'd not been angry at her, of course, she had just broken up with Hector and he had been acting like an overentitled git, and James had stepped in, as any good friend would to defend Lily. That got him a punch. (Hector did however, spend the next day in the Hospital Wing- courtesy of The Marauders and a very pissed of Lily)

Their argument had taken place exactly three days later. Lily didn't even remember what it was about. It should have ended in three minutes. but they both had so much pent up anger in each other's general direction it lasted a lot longer.

They stopped talking for a week. Not even the mandatory you're head boy-i'm head girl stuff. Just pure cold silence.

The Prefects suffered, the brunt of the disciplinarian action falling on them with no prior warning. Their friend group, the two sides of which had fused together over the past year, suffered, having to pick sides. And poor Remus suffered the most, being part of both groups.

Lily was sure this- whatever this was- was Remus' idea. yes Sirius and Marlene were the face of the operation, but Lily knew despite all the brains they had between each other they couldn't come up with something even Lily's charms couldn't open.

James exhaled loudly, turning so that his back was against the wall he sank down the floor, placing his head on one of his knees. the other leg was splayed out in front of him, place next to Lily.

"Oh, and you should know," Sirius said from outside, "The charm is set so that we can't let you out even if we want to unless you guys resolve whatever there is going on between you."

"Have fun kids!" Marlene shouted "Don't do anything we wouldn't do!"

"That doesn't specify anything Marlene" a fait voice said.

"Shut up Remus" Marlene responded.

Then she supposed the muffliato charm was cast, and all she could hear was James' breathing and the erratic thump of her heart beating too fast. He was too close.

"Potter" she curtly said, in a feeble attempt at calming herself. Instead he looked up at her, his hazel eyes shining, and the beating became louder.

"Evans." he said. His voice was hoarse from yelling at Sirius and Marlene, to no avail. She gulped.

"Maybe we should give talking about it a go," 

James almost scoffed. 

"Look, James," she began. he softened at the use of his first name. "We both know that our argument was pointless, fueled from pent up anger," 

James said nothing, listening. she continued.

"Maybe its better if we clear it out, go back to being friends."

This time James did scoff. "Friends" he muttered under his breath. He looked Lily right in the eye, and said, "I get that you want us to be friends, but get ready for some truth Lily."

Lily's stomach flipped. This could go either way.

"I don't want us to be friends."

Had he finally given up on her? She fought the wave of despair threatening to engulf her.

"I punched Marter only partly because he was being a dick. it was mostly because I was fucking jealous of him."

Lily's brain stopped working. She was hooked onto every word.

"I went out with Karina to try and get over you, but she made it worse."

The green monster in Lily that had flourished during James' time with Karina Klutch purred happily.

"I'm just going to say it outright, I don't care if it ruins out friendship. I waited so long, and i just can't anymore."

Lily brought her eyes up to his. 

"I'm in love with you."

Lily's vision tunneled. She could faintly hear James still going on about something, but the only thing she could see was his face. 

"-And I get it if you're not and you no longer want to see me, heck if you want to have the Head Boy changed, that's up to you but-"

"James Potter, shut the fuck up." she commanded, before slamming her mouth against his.

For the next couple minutes, they were a mess of hands, heavy breathing and lips. Until there was a rapping on the door.

"I see you guys made up!" a cheery voice shouted from outisde.

"Get lost Black!" Lily growled. James hummed in agreement, moving down her collar.

"Oi! Aren't you happy you're out of there?" Sirius called back. "It's almost like- OW MARLENE!" there was a furious whispering session outside the door. "OH THATS WHY" Sirius said. 

"Bye kids! Remember to use protection" he sang against the wall. "Don't want a little Prongslet crawling out of there!"

Lily paused to grab her wand. James started at her, confused. She muttered a charm, and a loud screeching from outside followed.

"SIRIUS YOUR HAIR-" Remus began, interrupted by a fit of laughter.

"GREEN EVANS?!" Sirius called, rapping furiously on the door. James laughed freely next to her, wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

"I'll say it once more Sirius, LEAVE" Lily laughed. Silence followed.

"Nice job" James whispered in her ear, his breath hot against her skin. She grinned, turning to face him, placing her arms around his neck.

"Why, thank you," she said before his lips crashed down onto hers.
