"Hello darling," James said, grinning as she appeared on the stairwell from the Girl's Dormitory. She fought back a customary scowl and smiled sweetly, dangerously.
"Hey James," she said, putting emphasis on his name.
He grinned, undeterred. "Sweetheart."
"Stud muffin," she shot back, stepping up to him.
"Upping it, huh Evans?" he teased. Curious glances were being cast toward the pair.
"Afraid, love dove?"
"Never... Sugar."
"That was weak."
Students really were noticing now. Hands went to mouths, and fingers pointed accusingly. Muttering filled the air.
"Damn, is Sugar Lips better?"
Lily made a face. "In the horribly cheesy pet name department? Sure, Boo."
Sirius made an appearance from behind James shoulder, coughing loudly.
"Sorry, Boo, Sugar Lips, but shouldn't you save it for later?" he asked, with a conspiratorial gesture toward the watching students. Both members of the offending party turned red as they realized the crowd they had attracted. James grabbed Lily's hand and they made their escape into the hallway outside the common room.
"Sugar Lips? Seriously?" Lily hissed once safely down the corridor and out of sight. James fought the urge to comment on the later part of her sentence.
"What the hell is a Boo, Evans?"
"Walk," Lily ordered, pointing down the hall. "You're a bloody Marauder, right? Isn't there some way to the Dining Hall without being attacked by students who want to know why we were calling each other pet names?"
He looked affronted. "Are you doubting my abilities as a Marauder?"
"Never, Boo."
A/N:
Like I said, more comedy, romance later.
I feel like in a year I'm going to read this and have a *Dan Howell voice* CRINGE ATTACK

Oh, and I'm at over two hundred reads and I'm at thirty votes! That's pretty cool!
