There was so much she didn’t know how to explain to James. That her parents, while they had devoted themselves entirely to loving their children, didn’t even remotely like each other. That her mother married her father because all her friends were getting married and that her father married her mother because he was a WWII veteran looking for some sort of life after war. Hell, even age wise, they weren’t a match – her mother was 16 years younger than her father. They had not been affectionate towards each other.
Then of course, she was dealing with her own feelings of what a relationship was, based on experiences that tainted her, that she was sure James would look down on her for. She’d never been with anyone like James – had never been with a decent bloke before him.
“I’m just — I like being with you, and snogging you, and whatnot. I just – I don’t know. I just want us to – I don’t know – I’m new to this, James. You’ll have to bare with me.”
James looked at Lily and shook his head kissing the top of her head, “You are doing just fine, I don’t have to ‘bare with you’, everyone is different, everyone likes different things.” he smiled at her leaving his book on the table just besides the sofa.
He knew people not liking to be touched, or to be said certain things. Remus wasn’t exactly trusting after the full moon but they all figured how to be mates and not want to kill each other for be too close and on top of the other, even if it was just in a playful way.
“Look, we are new to this, we are both new to this relationship. Doesn’t matter how many people you were with before; even if I want to hex them all;” he joked, “but what do you like me doing, like this.” he squeezed her hand, “Do you like us holding hands in public?” he asked with a smile resting her head on top of hers, “Or me just snuggling up on your down time.” he chuckled, “I want to know how we are comfortable with each other, and if that means not snogging in the Common Room, then... we’ll have to spend our free time elsewhere because I’m snogging you, Evans.”
