------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daryl Dixon x M!reader

Warning! Smut !!

Contains: orgasms, edging, hand-job, fluff at the end with sum aftercare ofc<3

A lil story where you ask Daryl if you can fuck him, it goes on from there if yk what I mean (sorry if the story or writing is shitty and it doesn't make sense, I literally haven't written anything in forever and im not rlly a writer // the ending is rlly shitty bc I rushed it, oops !!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I don't know hun..what if I'm no good?"

"Daryl, I think i'm the one who should be worried about that, not you. Don't worry. It'll be alright, but ill only do it if you're okay with it baby." You brought up a hand to his face and caressed his cheek. Staring into his eyes with pure love and affection.

"of course I'm okay with it, ill do anything for you hun.." Daryl leaned into your touch.

"come on Dar, lets go upstairs" You led him to your room, sitting him down on the edge of your bed. You sat on his lap, playing with his hair, and him absolutely adoring you and looking at how beautiful you are.

You kissed him, eventually moving to give him pecks on his cheek, forehead, or any other place on his face. You moved one hand down to his pants, feeling his boner forming. You unzipped his pants and palmed him through his boxers, feeling him get harder. Becoming all hot and bothered underneath you.

You kissed him again, but this time it was quick and messy. The only time you stopped was when he pulled away to get air. You took off his pants and boxers and wrapped your hand around his now painfully hardened dick. Moving your hand up and down. Slowly. Feeling him twitch underneath you.

You deepened the kiss, hearing how he moaned and how he now had his hands all over you. His hands eventually landing on your waist.

"please..faster.." He moaned into the kiss, he couldn't handle how slow you were going.

"We barely started baby, be patient." As much as you wanted to tease him, you couldn't ignore him. He was begging you.

You started going faster. Not by much, but it definitely got him riled up even more.

"baby..please..go faster..wanna cum.." He whined into your ear, small gasps and moans leaving his mouth. He grabbed your shirt with one hand, squeezing it.

So of course you obliged, you went even faster. Feeling his pre-cum. His other hand squeezing your arm.

You stopped.

"why'd you stop..?" he stuttered with his words, he was so close to absolute pleasure.

"I can't let you cum now baby, we've barely started." You loved teasing him, plus you had something even better stored for him.

You got off him and pushed him down so he was on his back. You started taking off your pants, palming yourself. You leaned down and started kissing him, caressing his chest. You couldn't help teasing him a little, you started jerking him off again. His soft moans filled your room.

He started jerking his hips into your hand, trying to cum. You moved your other hand and started prepping him.

"Shit..fuck.." He cursed under his breathe. "..is this how weird it feels for you?" He gave you a little breathy laugh and you smiled at him.

"It'll get better baby I promise." You moved his hair out of his face, wanting to see how beautiful he looked. "Are you ready?"

"yea..just fuck me already, please.." He put his hands on your cheeks, admiring you, looking at how handsome you are.

You entered slowly, not wanting to hurt him.

"Fuck..you feel so good around me baby.." Those words made him squeeze tighter around you. "holy shit, your tight.."

All he could give back were small breathy moans.

You started moving, slowly. Placing your hands on his hips. All he could do was give tiny gasps and groans. From the pain and from the pleasure.

You went faster, your thrust going deeper. Keeping a steady pace.

"you alright baby?"

"holy shit, feels so good in me.." his moans getting louder.

You started jerking him off, all you wanted to do right now was make sure he felt good.

You started going even deeper in him, making sure to fill him up. You leaned down, giving him hickeys all over. His neck, his chest, his nipples. Everywhere.

You grabbed his hips, pushing him into you. Going even faster.

He couldn't handle it anymore. He turned into a moaning mess. Loud moans filling up the room while you're both dripping in sweat.

"can't take it.. m' gonna cum.." Daryl stuttered with his words, barely able to get anything out. "please..please let me cum.." He couldn't even look you in the eyes. The pleasure was too much for him.

"Well since you asked so nicely.." You moved even faster. "shit..im gonna cum too.." You leaned down and kissed him. Jerking him off even faster.

Daryl wrapped his arms and legs around you. Making sure you weren't able to pull out, cumming inside of him. He came on his stomach. His legs were shaking. You pulled out of the kiss and Daryl let go of you. He put his hands above his head, closing his eyes from exhaustion.

You kissed him on his forehead, "You did so good for me love." You walked out the room grabbing him a water, some snacks, and running a bath for him. You cleaned him up and gave him kisses, and then laid down next to him, putting your hands on his chest rubbing it.

"You did so good for me baby." You gave him a tiny smiled and kissed him.

"I love you hun." He mumbled, still exhausted.

"I love you too Dar."

All this dog button talk and I am really shocked at HOW bad the book actually is from the snippets Grace is sharing with us.

My one friend has a boxer (mixed with a lil shepherd) and she speaks very highly of Hunger and this book and the concepts. We've discussed it briefly a couple times, but I tend to avoid talking about it with her. Although last week I did send her the one tumblr post where there was some good discussion on buttons and some interesting concepts on proper use just so I could reassure her I wasn't trying to be a jerk about it and show some interest in this thing she likes.

She's tried to teach her dog consent by asking for him to touch her hand with his nose for a yes, but the way she executes it seems weird to me. You can tell the dog doesn't quite seem to totally get it. And she can already understand what he wants anyway. She asks him if he wants to go outside when she already can tell that's what he wants by his body language and behaviour and if he doesn't give her a boop she asks again until he does. This, to me, is him already clearly communicating with her what he wants and she is literally understanding it, yet complicating it further by asking him to communicate in a way that isn't natural for him. Asking for an extra step when it isn't necessary.

I know her intentions are good and she's just looking for a clear and obvious communication that is easier for humans to understand, but she already understands her dog. Why make it harder for him when she doesn't need to?

Oscar is easy to read. If he wants out he will cuddle up to us and whine pathetically, but mostly the dogs are on a schedule and don't often have to actually ask to go out, though Sprocket does so more often than Oscar.

The only thing I've asked my dogs to do is I've taught Sprocket to bark when she wants out, which she still doesn't always do. Often times she would rather stare at me and pace or sit and whine at me. I will admit I do wait for her to bark at me before I take her out or I prompt her to bark, but it's because I'm worried once we move into a bigger house I won't always catch her more subtle hints and potty training with her has been a bit of a ride. I tried with a bell, but she was incredibly resistant to that whole experience. I did a shit job trying to train it, though, too.

Either way, what everyone is saying is so so right. Dogs already very clearly communicate with us every day. When you've had a dog for a while and if you pay attention to them you learn their communications.

It bothers me that Hunger compares dogs to children so much in her book. Dogs are not children and children are not dogs. They do not communicate the same way. Also from the bit from chapter 1 that was shared she honestly doesn't sound like a very good speach therapist anyway. It took her 6 weeks to make any progress with a kid??

And yes, the book is written like a story. There is no scientific anything here. She isn't documenting every second and every instance of a button press. She isn't sharing with us all the important bits. She is only giving us what works for her narrative. And honestly probably making some stuff up or at least exaggerating it.

This whole thing sounds like some rando that doesn't know anything about dog behaviour got a hold of an idea and started improperly using the shit out of it and it went viral because people thought they could teach their dogs to speak english. It's BS. Get some real science behind it. Get some real studies going with actual animal behaviourists and dog experts. Crush this whole thing before it does even more damage.

omg one year anniversary already??!? happy (almost) one year anniversary to you guys ❤ we stan simp boy, okayyy? (and yes as i mentioned, i'm nosy and would love to hear about the whole story 👀)

don't feel bad for not writing :((( as mark lee said, 'life is a bastard' and it just happens. i'm sure you're very busy, so i hope you don't feel bad :') maybe jot down all the ideas that come up to your mind (which you probably do), you can write them when you actually CAN.

aaand aah 'people we meet on vacations'!! it's on my tbr list! i'll read it asap, now that you've said that it's your fav lol and my life?? it's so boring :') (lowkey wish my life was like a ppangjae fic 😩 universe, just gimme a man written by ppangjae 🙏🏻) i've been trying to befriend a squirrel that comes to my home everyday for food TT but squirrels are so so hard to befriend, but at least it's not running away when i go near to feed it :)

also, totally random but i noticed that our signs are a lil similar ;-; i'm a pisces sun, a cancer moon and taurus rising (yours is cancer rising and capricorn moon right??) not the same but two water signs & an earth sign!

i hope you have a great day! lots of love to you!!

ahh thank you love! but also i'm not with simp boy anymore skjdf it's been a long time since we broke up. this is a new guy! let's just call him 🧸 hehe

we've known of each other since 2017. we also had crushes on each other since 2017-18, but never acted on it. so basically, we've been dancing around each other lol. we have a lot of mutuals lol his cousins went to the same high school as me so i knew them. it's truly a small world!

i used to work in this office as a part time student and he'd be a frequent visitor, so i'd seem him once a week. we never acted on our crushes because we never really expected that we liked each other back. a couple of years go by and it's the middle of the pandemic (this is a while after i broke up with simp boy), and he comes up to my office and asks for a form. he uses this form as an excuse to talk to me lol, and he asks me if i'm single and if i wanted to go out for a coffee. since we were in the middle of the pandemic, i told him not right now because of covid.. and he took it as a rejection. a few years later, i catch him lurking on my socials and we start talking again. we got to know each other and it turns out that we have so much in common, we're on the same wavelength, and he just gets me lol. a couple of months and dates later, we decided to start dating! and now we're going to be a year into our relationship this month hehe

there's more to it but i'll save those stories for another time too lolol

yes! you must read people we meet on vacation! THAT BOOK IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED.

and a squirrel! that's so cute. have you tried giving it nuts? they're so cute when they stuff their mouths LOL

omg an earth sign and two water signs! that's so cool! i'm not really that good at astrology skjdhfsdjkhf but i kinda like being a water sign, i feel like i truly know how to be intuitive with my emotions. don't you agree? i feel like as pisces, we are so good at acknowledging our emotions and reading the emotions of others. i feel like that's just our strongest trait!

i hope you have a wonderful day love! and thank you for dropping by :') please stay safe!

@stagcharmed | ❛ do you think i’d let anything happen to you? ❜

it’s late. sirius doesn’t know how late. he doesn’t even know what time it was when he’d first shown up. just knows it’s later than that now, and knows that when james had gently suggested they go to bed sirius had felt panic rise in his chest that james must have seen ; because now they’re on the sofa instead, and sirius is pressed up against james’ side like he’s used to doing in the common room. the difference, of course, is that this is james’ house and in the morning they’ll have to explain to james’ parents why sirius is even here and then ask if he can stay and it’s --

sirius doesn’t want to think about it. instead, he lets james’ words wash over him and closes his eyes, curls up a little bit tighter. he wouldn’t do this if anyone else could see him - if anyone else knew. but they don’t. it’s just james. james is different. ❛ no, ❜ it comes sincerely. he remembers, absurdly, the conversation they’d had towards the end of their last year, where sirius had finally confessed that he was half-convinced his mother would kill him in one way or another and james had begged him not to go home. he wonders, now, if james would have come and collected him if sirius hadn’t shown up.

❛ i trust you, ❜ there’s a mountain of something behind that, but sirius doesn’t expand on it. ❛ but i’m still sorry. ❜

Worth It.

Shinso x reader

TW: Swearing, reader steals a man, pure bad bitchery

Note: this concept has been in my head for literal MONTHS and now I'm finally writing it bc i had no idea how to before (i still dont know how to write it as I'm writing this, I'm bouta wing it like a mf)

I made Intelli the mean girl for this fic bc she a bitch fr

A college AU but its hardly relevant + a lil smau

Towards the end of writing this, I started hating it. I'm so sorry😭

I recommend this song too bc this is where the idea for this fic came from:

This was getting annoying to watch.

How long was Hitoshi planning to stay miserable with that girl?

Intelli and Hitoshi have been dating for awhile now. You had honestly never liked her, but you just barely tolerated her for Hitoshi. But only a few weeks into their relationship, things went to shit.

Intelli became overly controlling over him, and even tried to force him to stop being friends with you, and some other people. You, being his best friend, told him to break up with her.

Of course, Hitoshi agreed that it'd be best to do that. But not even a few hours after talking to him about it, he came back to say it didn't go as planned.

Intelli was holding blackmail over Hitoshi's head, and posed a huge threat to his dreams of becoming a hero. Most of what she said she'd expose was no where near true, but with her intellect she could easily make people believe it.

But frankly, as their relationship went on, the sight of even a strand of her hair made you want to either puke or fight her.

"Toshi~" Intelli cooed, coming up behind Hitoshi and wrapping her arms around his neck.

Hitoshi visibly cringed, but tried to hide it as best as he could.

"Hey, babe." He boredly muttered, doing a terrible job at faking any enthusiasm.

Unlike your best friend, you made no effort to hide the disgust you held for her sheer presence.

"Y/n..." Intelli muttered, her tone dripping with distaste for you, making you scoff. "Mind if I steal Toshi for a bit? No? Thanks-" She attempted to drag Hitoshi away by the arm, but you placed a firm hand on her shoulder to stop her.

"I do mind actually, we were in the middle of a conversation before you interrupted." You told her. She chuckled, before tugging on Hitoshi's arm more.

"Yes, but he's my boyfriend-" She attempted to give reason for her to take him away, before even Hitoshi stopped her.

"I've got a project I need Y/n to help me on, I can stop by your dorm later though?" Hitoshi suggested, lying through his teeth.

Intelli's eyebrow twitched, but she gave in, letting go of his arm. "Bye, Toshi." She said, kissing Hitoshi's cheek and looking you up and down, before walking off.

"Sometimes, I can't tell if she's just plain a bitch or if she's secretly a dumbass." You sighed. "Maybe she's a little bit of both..." Hitoshi chuckled, making you laugh with him.

"You really need to find someone new." You told him, shaking your head. "I know, but I'd rather not chance losing my dream career." He groaned.

"True... Whats your type anyways? I know its not Intell anymore, she's probably traumatized you." You giggled.

"She did, but I think my type is someone who can really understands me, and someone I can have fun with." Hitoshi said.

"Like a best friend?" You questioned him. "Yeah, exactly like a best friend. That'd be my perfect version of a s/o." He replied, expression growing soft.

Since Intelli and Hitoshi's relationship had gone down hill, you've been there for him more than ever. It eventually lead to this unspoken romance that constantly roamed between the two of you.

But because of Intelli, neither of you pursued it, for the wellbeing of Hitoshi.

"Well, if I were you, I'd find someone and just make sure the bitch doesn't find out." You told him. But if you were being honest, it was more like a suggestion, because he really did need, and deserve someone other than Intelli.

"Like cheating?" He gawked. You were both thinking the same thing— Intelli would likely find out. But it was better than simply being stuck with her, so you nodded.

"Well, I'd at least make sure the other person knows. But it'd be worth it."

'I'm worth it.' You thought.

You sighed, looking down at your phone, the time on your phone displayed.

"Shit, I've gotta get to class, we've got a guest lecturing us and my professor will tear me a new one if I miss it." You told him, stuffing your phone into your pocket.

"See you later?" Hitoshi asked you.

You were about to say something about how he told Intelli they'd hang out later, but decided against it.

"Yeah."

◇◇◇◇◇◇

You sighed, feeling your tired feet throb as you walked down the hall to Hitoshi's dorm. Taking one of your backpack straps off your shoulder, you began rummaging around the pocket where you usually kept the spare key to Hitoshi's dorm.

You blinked, as you weren't able to find the key in the small pocket. You began searching your entire bag in the middle of the hallway, taking nearly everything out.

"Shit." You mumbled, thinking you had lost it.

Then you remembered, 'Thats right, I was in a rush this morning. Its on my desk.' You thought to yourself.

Like hell you were going all the way back there though.

You placed your items back into their bags, then pulled out your phone to text Hitoshi.

You hummed, rocking back and forth on your heels as you waited for the door to be opened.

A moment later, you heard the lock click, and the door swung open.

Hitoshi looked you up and down before smiling. Then looked both ways of the hall, before tugging you into the room and shutting the door.

"Why are you treating me like a side piece or something?" You questioned him.

He hummed in confusion as he locked the door.

"Does it feel like that? Sorry." He apologized. "What did she do this time?" You asked, referring to Intelli, as she wash the only person the put Hitoshi this on edge.

"She said if we were doing anything other than a project we'd break up, and you know what that means." He told you, shaking his head.

You hummed, and pulled out your phone.

"What are you doing?" He asked, peering over your shoulder.

"You'll see." You blunty told him.

You sent your message, and tossed your phone onto his bed.

You grabbed onto Hitoshi's collar, tugging him towards you so he was looking you in the eyes, making his breath hitch as his face tinted red.

"You're crazy if you think I'd get you snitched on." You playfully consoled.

"What did you do?" He questioned again, watching you flop down on his bed as you kicked off your shoes.

"I texted Monoma and Momo to post about a project on private snap that only has Intelli on it so that it'll be more believable." You told him.

Hitoshis eyes went wide, as he mentally questioned how you came up with that so fast.

You patted the space next to you, beckoning him to sit with you.

He sat down, shaking his head and laughing.

You and Hitoshi talked for hours and hours, but it each flew by. When you finally checked the time, you barely had enough time left before dorm visiting hours were over.

"What? Already?" Hitoshi gaped, as he watched you sling your backpack over your shoulder.

"Mhm." You hummed.

He groaned, clearly not wanting you to leave, but sat up anyways so he could come see you out.

Hitoshi unlocked the door for you, but upon opening the door, you were both met with an unwanted sight.

"Hey Toshi!" Intelli greeted, completely passing over you even though she saw you.

"H-hey, Intelli." Hitoshi spurred, trying to keep composure.

"I came to help on the project. Even Momo was complaining, so I thought you could use some help." She offered, clearly not convinced that there was actually a project.

But like you said, you weren't going to let him get caught.

"No, we finished it." You told her bluntly, folding your arms across your chest.

But clearly, Intelli didn't plan on letting up either.

"Well then, I could proof read the written portion." She insisted, taking a step towards you.

"We already did that already."

"Well I'm sure there are some mistakes."

"We triple checked."

Hitoshi looked back and forth between the two of you, silently preparing himself to break up a fight.

"You must not get what I mean—" Intelli straightened her posture more than it already was, and leaned towards you. "There's probably mistakes because it was you helping him." She mocked.

Hitoshi already had a hand reaching for your waist, ready to pull you back in a situation where you lunge at Intelli.

"You wanna talk about mistakes? How about we start with you, bit-" Before you could take a single step towards her, you were being pulled back by your waist.

"Watch your dog, Hitoshi." Intelli retorted.

Damn, was she lucky Hitoshi could hold you back.

"At least I bite, unlike some people." You shot back. She narrowed her eyes, leaning towards you again.

"Y'know Y/n, you're not as good as everyone thinks you are. Everyone thinks you're so great, and nice, but I know how you really are." She said.

"You only think that because everyone's not you. Its no goddamn wonder your blackmail folder is thicker than you." You hissed.

Intelli, clearly flustered that you even knew about her blackmail folder, stood straight again. She crossed her arms and cleared her throat slightly.

"You think youre so much better than me. A better person, a better best friend, you probably think you'd make a better girlfriend too, right?" She asked you.

"Of course I do, who the hell wouldn't?" You chuckled.

You felt Hitoshi's grip on your waist loosen. Either he was getting just as angry and was going to let you fight her, or he thought it the tension was thawing.

"Alright, since you're so much better than me, show me." Intelli insisted.

You smirked. "Alright, you asked for it."

Slipping out of Hitoshi's grip, you turned to face him.

His brows raised in surprise and confusion. And next thing he knew, you had him by the collar for the second time today.

But this time, your lips were pressed against his.

It took him a moment to process, but soon, he melted into it. Moving in sync with you, he placed his hands back on your waist.

As much as you wanted to continue, you still had to tell that bitch off.

Pulling away from Hitoshi, wiping away the string of saliva that connected your mouths, you turned back to Intelli.

You walked straight up to her, and placed a hand on your shoulder.

"Toshi doesn't react like that when you kiss him, does he?" You hummed, hearing Intelli audibly gulp.

"Like you said, I'm a better person, a better best friend, and a better girlfriend." You repeated her words from earlier.

"I wouldn't lie to him, expose him, whether what he did was true or false, and i wouldn't hold him back from doing what he wants." You taunted.

"And the thing is—" You leaned in, next to her ear.

"I dont think it, I know it."

"I'm perfect for him." You whispered to her.

Intelli nearly toppled over in defeat, leaning against the nearest wall to support her body.

"Anyways, see you tomorrow, Toshi." You mused, before walking away.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

The next day, you met up with Hitoshi in your free time like usual.

You were aimlessly walking around campus, talking about random topics, laughing as you watched random people do stupid things, and just having fun.

Except now, you were hand in hand, and the air around the two of you seemed lighter. And the look of adoration you and Hitoshi shared was more evident.

But in the middle of it, of course, something had to happen.

Intelli had stopped you both in your tracks, her brainless groupies behind her.

"Did you know everyone is talking about you, Hitoshi? And with all the things they're saying... you might not be able to recover from it." She said snarkily.

"Not too worried about it actually." Hitoshi admitted, a slightly bored tone to his voice.

"Tch, well you should be. So tell me, was she worth it, Hitoshi?" She inclined.

Hitoshi looked over at you, a grin spreading across his face.

"Hell yeah."

The stars | James Potter

Pairing: James Potter x Reader

Word count: 2.7k (the longest I've ever written UwU)

Warnings: curse words because my Italian self doesn't have self control in this kind of things lmao. Also a little amount of angst and FLUFFFFFFFF.

A/N: I'm actually alive and I'm so proud of this, I hope you'll like it too!!

Summary: you think you could never stand a chance with James Potter but little do you know, he's just oblivious to the fact that he has stronger feelings than simple friendly love toward you.

The day had begun in the best way, you’d gotten an excellent mark in divination that you somehow found really difficult and boring. Then you went to have lunch, like, you were absolutely starving.

You’d usually sit with the marauders but today you weren’t in the mood. You sat with your group of friends instead.

You sat right beside Lily and you were talking about something you weren't really interested in, she giggled as she muttered something about Severus and blushed lightly.

You smiled widely when you realized that maybe she was starting to develop feelings.

Then your eyes traveled around the table only to find James already staring in your direction, well in Lily's direction actually. A piece of your heart shuttered.

"Y/n! Are you even listening?" Lily laughed and you shook your head.

"Sorry Lils I got caught up in my thoughts" you answered, suddenly feeling awkward.

"You like that idiot" she pointed out, smiling softly.

Your eyes widened at her statement, you looked back between her and James before looking away, suddenly finding the slytherin table interesting. You tried to change the subject, starting with the homework you had to do but Lily wouldn't budge.

"You like him don't you?" She asked again gaining a huff from you.

"Maybe, I mean he's cute, he's funny but he likes you not me. Who'd even like me? Look at me!" You said, feeling the tears that managed to escape from your eyes, on your face.

Lily smiled sadly.

"You'll never quit with that low self esteem, will you? You're beautiful, clever and if he doesn't like you for who you are then fuck him Y/n/n" she reassured you.

You looked again towards James, this time he was actually staring at you and as soon as he met your gaze he smiled mouthing a "why aren't you sitting with us?".

You shrugged "I'll see you later" you mouthed back.

Meanwhile Lily's beautiful smile now became a playful smirk." I think at least one time he has thought about the fact that he likes you, and not me" you gave her a small shake of your head, signaling her to stop. She just tilted her head to the side while you went back to your staring session. Eyes still watery.

“hey.” Sirius hit Remus lightly in the chest. “Look at Y/n.”

Remus followed his friend’s gaze, and his eyes widened when he saw you staring at James, furiously wiping at the tears rolling down your cheeks. You try to avoid their gaze, but they'd already noticed you “y/n, what happened?” Sirius mouthed, brown eyes searching yours with concern.

"Nothing" you answered.

“whats up?" James asked his two friends, noticing the worry in their faces. Then he met your gaze and crossed his arms, looking away, with an angry expression. Angry? Why would he be angry at you? You frowned.

You saw Sirius come up to you “Who do I need to beat up?” he asked.

You sniffled and rolled your eyes up to the ceiling, laughing dryly. “No one.”

“it's Prongs. Isn't it?”

"I said I'm fine Black!" you spatted.

“Hang on, (y/n), firstly you never said tha–”

“Y/n!” James’ cheerful voice called from behind you, and your eyes widened in surprise. “What’s up?” he asked, stopping next to you with a grin. That grin fell, however, when he noticed your red eyes and wet cheeks. He reached for you and inquires in a soft voice: “y/n, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. I’ll see you guys later.” And, with that, you stepped past the two boys and disappear.

James’ wide eyes found Sirius’s. “Who do I need to beat down?” he asks gravely.

Sirius shook his head, lips pressed into a thin line. “Prongs, you are that stupid, you could fail a test on yourself.” He walked past James, bumping his shoulder against his as he went, and stormed off in the opposite direction you ran away to.

“James Potter!”

Despite his now sad mood, James’s head couldn't help but lift at the sound of Lily’s angry voice coming from beside him. “Ah, Lily” He smiled broadly and spun around, only to meet a hard slap to his left shoulder.“Ow–hey! What the fuck was that for?” he asked placing a hand on the spot she'd slapped him.

Lily gritted her teeth and poked a finger on his chest. “You, James Potter, are a real asshole.”

“What did I–”

“You need to stop chasing after me, I don't like you and I never will and think about the real girl you're in love with instead! Everyone has noticed James” the redhead hissed before running after you. Leaving James quite confused.

She found you on your bed, staring at the many sky maps you hung on your wall. She knew you'd been crying again.

"Y/n, he'll realize how good you are sooner or later" she whispered approaching you.

You rolled your eyes.

"As if" you laughed darkly.

Lily giggled "y/n, do you realize that with all those protective manners toward you, he can't see you only as a friend?"

"Can you stay with me? We don't have classes this afternoon, we could just chill here" you almost pleaded changing the subject of the discussion.

Lily smiled softly and nodded before jumping on your bed.

One hour later, the marauders were all reunited in their own dorm room. James was thinking about what Lily had said some moments before, but actually the real thing he couldn't bring himself to stop thinking about was your sad face. This image was like printed inside of his mind.

"Prongs, we're heading off to Y/n and Lily's room, do you want to come?" Remus asked suddenly.

James slowly nodded his head, now all he wanted to do was comfort you, all he wanted was to look into your eyes and make you smile, because it was like his favourite pastime, making you smile was like recieving a gift. You were a gift, a gift that the world decide to give him.

"James?" Remus snapped him out of his thoughts.

"Yeah coming"

They sneakily made their way to the girls dorm, and when they finally got inside, you were done crying and was laughing at something that Lily'd said. James smiled at the scene.

"Hey girls! Y/n was in a bad mood so we decided to lift your spirits" Sirius exclaimed.

You gasped, as you didn't even hear the door open. Then your eyes met James' hazel ones.

"hey Y/n/n, is everything alright?" He asked you as he made his way to your bed.

"Yup, much better now" you instinctively hugged him, even though he was the cause of her previous sadness.

He smiled inhaling your scent and you did the same thing.

He sat on the bed and you laid on his lap.

The rest of the people smiled at each other with knowing looks.

You, oblivious to the many glances, quickly fell asleep lulled by James' heartbeat.

Lily rolls her eyes to the ceiling. “Merlin’s beard! You like her! Leave me the hell alone!" Lily whisper yelled.

"What are you talking about, Evans?" He asked, genuine confusion covering his face.

"You like your best friend, we've all noticed except you. Open your eyes, Prongs” And, with one last groan of frustration, Sirius knocked some sense into James

It hit him like a train, he liked you! Of course he did, how could've he been so dense? He'd actually liked you for a long time, every time you blushed, he smiled. Every time you would kiss him on the cheek, he'd even lightly blush.

Did you like him? He asked himself as his gaze settled on your graceful sleeping face. He would have never thought about it if Sirius hadn’t literally knocked the fact into his head. He finds himself going through all of his memories of you. You even gave him, -your crush- advice on how to win another girl over.

Oh, he really was stupid.

"Fuck, does she even like me back?" He whispered, gaining weird looks from Lily and Sirius which were seriously questioning his intelligence.

"Why do you think she was mad? She saw you staring in my direction, and all her hopes went down really quick" Lily explained with a hint of exasperation in her voice.

"I wasn't staring at you Lily, I was making sure she was okay, I didn't even notice the tears but I somehow knew something was off" James admitted.

Sirius giggled followed by Remus.

"I told you, you are some new kind of stupid" James stuck out his tongue at Sirius.

"I'm not stupid, just quite oblivious"

They continued to talk, not about you, but they kept whispering things to each other, trying not to wake you up.

Your cat -that you named Rigel after the star in your favorite constellation, Orion- jumped on the bed and curled up beside James. He liked him just as much as you did, and it made the boy laugh everytime you told him. But even that thing now made sense, you really loved him, like in the actual meaning of the word.

He slowly started to get uncomfortable in the position he was in, but he couldn't risk to wake you up, so he just stayed still, cuddling Rigel and still chatting with the others.

You woke up only two hours later, your hair sticking to your face. When you looked up as you rubbed your eyes, you blushed as the realization of who you had fallen asleep on, hit you.

“y/n?”

James’s grip around you tightened but you got up and took a few steps away from him. The sun now shone right on you, like it was some kind of sign for James, as if for the first time, he realized the fascinating way in which your eyes sparkled in the warm sunlight. “hey guys” you whispered.

The boy shakes his head and his eyes traveled around the room before setting back on you “I think we need to talk Y/n". You slightly panicked.

The others in the room smiled "we're going uhm- see you later" Remus announced awkwardly before they quickly walked out of the room.

“Then what do you want?” you ask, finally turning to face him. Your eyes were tired when they meet his and, even though they were still red from crying, at that moment, their beautiful e/c finally managed to make him fully realize the amount of love he felt for you. “Because if you’re here to tell me you are in love with Lily again, I don’t want to hear it.”

James shook his head. “I’m not here to say that.”

You blink in surprise. “Then what are you here to say?” you whisper.

James takes a deep breath and looks out of the small window. “Honestly, if it wasn't for Remus, Sirius and Lily I would've never realized but I like you Y/n/n. And I know you like me too” You studied him for a moment, not able to read his expression, and after a few moments of trying, you gave up with a sigh and looked away just before he spoke “I know I’ve hurt you, and I’m sorry.”

You closed your eyes and shook your head. “Jam–”

“No, let me talk please.” He took my hand and shifted his body so he was facing you. “I’ve been so hung up on Lily that I haven't realized it was you I was only staring at, you're the only girl I give a fuck about. And I know I have been oblivious lately but I hope you’ll still give me a chance.”

The awkward silence nearly caused James a heart attack, and he sighed in relief when you looked up at him shyly. You'dnever been embarrassed in front of him but your feelings were now too exposed.

“I don’t want you to do this just because you found out. I don’t want a pity-date, James” you admitted quietly.

He shook his head. "It’s a you-are-my-best-friend-and-i-have-liked-you-since-4th-year date love.” you shivered at the nickname.

You pursed your lips and stared at him him intensely. His eyes shone through his glasses with nothing but honesty, and your heart fluttered in your chest. He was just offering you something with no tricks...Well that's new.

“Alright, Potter.” you smiled at him, still not fully realizing he liked you back.

James grinned sheepishly as he took your hand in his. “after dinner, I'll pick you up and the rest is a surprise”

You nodded and snuck closer to him, feeling his breath on your forehead. You liked the feeling he gave you, staying this close together. You felt his heart beating at a rate -a really fast rate- that matched yours.

"We should go to the others" James broke the silence, and you nodded in agreement.

You walked hand in hand through the halls of the school until you found the rest of the marauders and Lily sitting on the grass of the middle courtyard.

"Hey guys " Remus grinned at you two and when they noticed your intertwined hands. they all smirked.

"Have you got something to say?" Lily asked.

You blushed brightly and buried your face in James' chest while he wore his signature smirk.

"I asked her on a date" Lily squealed in response.

"Oh Merlin! I have to get you ready! When is it?" She asked excitedly.

James took that as a further confirmation of his dead feelings for the redhead, and he kissed your forehead as if he wanted to reassure you.

"Tonight and It's a surprise actually" James announced.

He held you like you were some kind of rare thing that could break at any moment, and you loved it.

You stayed like that untill it was time to go to dinner.

The great hall was already full of students and you decided, along with Lily, to sit with the marauders, so you could stay with James.

You sat across from him and you really tried not to stare at him, but you couldn't, it was stronger than you, and he of course noticed.

"Like what you see y/l/n?" You gasped at his sudden question, but still mimicked his smirk.

"Actually, yes"

The marauders started to fake their disgust while Lily laughed.

"Since when are you that bold Y/n?" Lily asked.

"I don't know, he just gets on my nerves sometimes" you answered grinning widely.

And you spent all dinner exchanging looks and bold remarks from you that left almost everytime James speechless.

"Go put something comfortable, I'm taking you somewhere you'll like" James said at the end, placing a kiss on your nose "be ready in 10, I'll pick you up from your room" he finished.

As soon as you got to your dorm, you suddenly felt nervous and started to search for something to put on, and you opted for a gryffindor hoodie and leggings just in time.

"Are you ready?" James asked after knocking at the door, in response you opened it.

"Let's go then" he took your hand as you walked toward the highest tower of the castle, you couldn't hide your smile as you walked up the stairs of the astronomy tower.

"Is this too simple? I mean I know you love space and all but maybe-"

"This is perfect Jamie, this is the idea I had of my first date, I love it" you interrupted him.

You sat on the floor and looked up.

"That is Orion, and there is Rigel, my cat" you chuckled as you explained pointing to the star.

"Right on the horizon you can spot Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky" James smiled while your eyes lightened up, they'd always sparkle when you started talking about space, and he could listen to you for hours.

"What star is that?" He asked pointing to a very bright spot in the sky.

"That's Venus James" you laughed playfully.

"How was I supposed to know?" He pouted.

When you looked at him you noticed how close you were, you could feel his breath on your lips.

His gaze traveled from your eyes to your lips and before you could even think straight he kissed you putting his hands on your waist he held you closer and closer until he lost his balance and fell on the ground, you on top of him.

He laughed breathlessly as you just laid your head on his chest.

"I think I'm in love with you" you suddenly said, as a bright blush crept onto your face.

"I know I'm love with you Y/n".
