Lily smiled as they walked in silence, but it was a good silence. It was like they weren't sure of what to say, but they knew that each other felt content and satisfied of the others' company. She grinned sheepishly as she looked to her side and thought about happy she was with her and James' success in their relationship. She felt him nudge her side softly and laugh. She looked up at him and giggled softly. "Just how happy I am," she said, grinning.
She then too realized, once he spoke of it, that they had forgotten her friends' stereo. She thought about the question then shook her head, giving his hand a little squeeze and gave his eyes a smile. "Nah, I think it'll be alright. Plus, she'll be out there in a few minutes to grab it," she said, smiling up at him.[/color]

James nodded, lacing his fingers with hers and squeezing tightly... but not tightly enough to hurt her. Her hand seemed so small and delicate in his. He hadn't realized how truly little she was until he was so close. He glanced up as the staircase moved, turning on to the floor where the Room of Requirement was. "Why are we coming here, anyway?" he asked, glancing at Lily with a questioning expression.
He had been to the Room several times, most of the time using it as a headquarters for the Mauraders when they were making the map and such. It was definitely a happy moment when they discovered it... they had used it for so many things, usually stuff that they easily could have done in their dormitory but had chosen not to... Just because using a room that a very few people knew about had more flair than just being in a dormitory. [/center][/sub] |

Lily looked up at him, knowing he was sure to ask that question sooner or later. She giggled softly and kissed his nose and looked at him slyly. "You'll see," she said, smiling. She giggled as they neared the place in the hall they were to walk past three times. She smiled as she did the procedure and opened the door that appeared for them. She smiled and walked in, looking at the hot tub that set in the room. She turned around and smiled gingerly. "Well, I figured this would be better than swimming since you chose here," she said, smiling.
She figured that if he didn't want to swim, maybe relaxing in a hot tub would be much more to his liking. Plus, he really had been loaded on with tons of homework lately as she took notice of in the common room. James surely must have been stressed, so she just wanted him to relax and have fun. She smiled up at him, hoping he liked her idea. She just hoped that he didn't hate her surprise.[/color]

James couldn't stop the goofy grin that made its way to his face as she kissed his nose. He walked her pace in front of the door three times, obviously thinking very hard about what she wanted the room to be. As the door appeared James felt his stomach twist in knots, he had absolutely no idea what Lily had planned for them. It was kind of odd to be nervous about something so simple, but he realized that he didn't know Lily that well. At least not this side of her. And not knowing was something that scared him more than it normally would have.
When they walked inside and saw the hot tub, James couldn't help but laugh. "A hot tub?" he asked, glancing at Lily. "Thats definitely not what I was expecting. But, it sounds like a good idea," he added the last sentence to make sure that she realized what he meant. He did like it. He closed the door behind them, glancing down the hallway to make sure that nobody was there. He glanced at the hot tub, biting his lower lip.
It was odd for James to think this, but he had no where to go from here. It wasn't like he hadn't fantasized about him and Lily and hot tubs, but... the thought of it actually happening hadn't occured to him. Oh dear. [/center][/sub] |

Lily smiled as he said it was a good idea. At first, Lily had thought that maybe she was foolish to even think about bringing him in the first place. But after seeing the smile on his face and hear the laugh of his, she knew it was ok. She giggled gently as she bit her bottom lip and looked to the hot tub. She walked over to it and turned the jets on and smiled at him. "Well, are you just going to stand there?" she asked slyly, walking back over to him. She ran her hands up the front of his shirt slightly, then pulled them down and gave him a kiss on the lips once more, giggling slightly after.
She winked at him and turned back around, heading for the hot tub. She was already in a bathing suit from before, so she simply pulled off her skirt and shirt and got in. It felt weird to have the sticky, cold bathing suit against her skin and then feel the steam loosen the stickiness from the straps of her bikini top. "Ooo.." she said and giggled at the sound she made as she sunk into the hot tub. She pulled her hair up into a messy ponytail and looked at him. Her whole body was under the steamy water except her shoulders and partially her neck. She smiled at him and her eyes gleamed.
"Coming James?"[/color]

James swallowed, but the knot that had made its way into his throat was there to stay. He pulled his tee shirt over his head, tossing it on the ground. Then he removed his wand from the pocket of his slacks, muttering a spell and then pulling them off to reveal a pair of swimming trunks underneath. He glanced down just to make sure that he has used the right spell and then rather hesitantly climbed into the hot tub and sat beside Lily.
He wasn't sure exactly where this was going to go. He had worked quite hard on showing Lily that he wasn't shallow, because she wasn't in to guys like that. Or at least, those were the ideals that she had conveyed. He didn't want to screw anything up by trying anything... but what if she wanted him to try something and he didn't? It was all so confusing.
He looked at her and grinned slightly nervously. "So... er... how are you?" he asked. [/center][/sub] |

Lily saw the confusion in his eyes and it made her want to giggle. He thought that she was testing him or something, but no. Would she mind if he tried something? Of course not! She liked him a lot and she wouldn't get angry now over that little of a thing. But if he didn't try anything that was ok too. She didn't care what happened now, because she was just happy that he was there. She didn't suggest the hot tub to get sexual, she just suggested it because, well, she knew he was stressed and she wanted him to relax from everything.
She smiled at him and shrugged. "I'm pretty good, you?" she asked. Lily could sense he was nervous in some way and she moved a little closer to him. "James, are you nervous?" she asked gently with her eyes looking into his. She didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable at all. She ran a hand through her ponytail and sighed gently, looking at him with concern.[/color]

James watched her survey him with a slightly scared look, his eyes wide and rather doe-like. He had left his glasses on because he wouldn't have been able to see a thing without them, but now he was second-guessing this decision. The steam from the hot water was making them fog up and he had to lift a wet hand to wipe at them every few minutes.
He glanced at Lily as she responded, smiling and nodding rather curtly. "Yeah. I'm... I'm great," he said, nodding once again in an almost over-eager manner. He didn't want her to think that he wasn't having a good time, he was just not sure of what to do. When she asked if was nervous, he knew what the obvious answer would be. "Yes," he admitted rather grudgingly, looking as if he'd been caught. "I'm not sure how to act around you," he added with a hopeful look. Maybe she'd understand? [/center][/sub] |

Lily smiled gently at him, knowing that this was indeed a bit awkward. She ran a hand through the ends of her messy ponytail and watched him rub away at the steam at his glasses. She giggled gently at this, looking away as she felt her heart beating away in a fast manner. Lily was feeling a little self-conscious about herself in the bikini, but she guessed that James didn't mind it. It just made her feel a bit..weird.
She listened to his response to her nervous question and nodded, looking back at him. "It's ok, that's the same way I feel," she said, smiling softly at him. Her eyes met his for a few moments until she blushed a soft pink and looked down at the bubbling water that they sat in. Lily was never in this situation before, but besides the nerves, she felt very happy.[/color]

James smiled at this, nodding slightly. "It is?" he asked, his voice a little bit more relaxed. If she felt the same way, then this couldn't go too horribly. "So, um... Anything in particular that you want to talk about?" he asked her, his voice soft as he leaned back slightly and scooted down a bit. He was much taller than Lily, so the water came up to his mid-chest.
He tilted his head to the side, running a hand through his hair and making it slightly wet. He felt a drop of water drip down the side of his head but ignored it. [/center][/sub] |

Lily giggled softly at his expression and nodded. "Yessir!" she said, raising her arms. She accidentally splashed him a bit, and her cheeks turned a light pink. "Oh I'm sorry," she said, giggling uncontrollably. James had never seen her laugh like this, and she kind of wondered how he would take her uncontrollable giggling, but she didn't really think about it. She couldn't help from laughing at her mistake.
Lily wanted to answer his question, but she just couldn't stop herself from laughing! She knew she must've looked like a small child, but she couldn't help it. She laughed and giggled her face turning pink all over. She grabbed her sides and hoped to Merlin he wouldn't tickle her. It was a good thing he didn't know she was ticklish, because she would've sure started hiccuping.[/color]

James couldn't help laughing along with Lily. The fact that she was being so open with him in her giddyness made him happy, though it was definitely surprising. Everything today was. "It's okay," he said, lightly splashing her back. "We're even now," he added with a grin.
"So, what was the yessir about?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. Did that mean that she did have something she wanted to talk about? James couldn't help overthinking things. It just wasn't often that he talked to Lily and, when he did, he was used to analyzing everything. [/center][/sub] |

Lily giggled a bit more after he splashed her back, but she took in a deep breath and tried to calm down. She still had a grin on her face, but that surely wasn't going to go away. Especially not around James! She giggled softly, but finally her giggles were gone and she just smiled innocently as if nothing happened. She ran a hand through her ponytail and danced a little to herself. She wasn't sure why she was hyper all of a sudden, but she hoped James wouldn't mind.
"Oh no, I mean that yessir it's the same way I feel," she said, nodding. She smiled at him as she continued to dance. Lily giggled and grabbed his hands and danced with him. She laughed and tilted her head back, closing her eyes for a moment as she danced with his hands. She couldn't help but laugh.[/color]

James smiled at Lily, nodding slightly as he understood her. When she grabbed his hands, he couldn't hold in his laughter as they waved back and forth. He waited until she had calmed down a bit before leaning forward slightly and running his fingers through Lily's hair, smoothing it down and then brushing her cheeks.
His eyes bore into hers, his face a mere inches from hers. He could feel her sweet breath on his face, but he made no attempt to move back or closer. He just sat there, gazing at her, too close and yet too far away. [/center][/sub] |
