any dating jily headcanons? loving touch and go so far!!
i mentioned it yesterday but i don't really think jily were that publicly affectionate! i think their friends are too important to them and so they kept it to hand-holding and arms around shoulders and the occasional accidental eye-fuck (which sirius called them out on every time of course). they were all over each other behind closed doors and maybe got caught in compromising positions a few times by their mates but i don't see them as being into the voyeuristic stuff i see a lot in the fandom
when either of them gets good news, they don't tell anyone until they've told each other
they play games with each other all the time! never a dull moment. they have a tonne of people watching games that they created between the two of them. they try explaining them to others but no one else manages to catch on to their weird bits so james and lily just play them with each other. they rate people's outfits, make up back stories for strangers, etc.
they remained just as competitive within academic settings! anyone suggesting that they wouldn't remain loyal to outdoing each other or that either of them was 'going easy' on the other as the height of insult to them. sometimes the competition got bad enough to where they couldn't revise together
they sleep over basically every night from pretty much the beginning of their relationship. it's not even about sex... they'd just rather be together than apart and since, as mentioned above, jily are mostly respectful to others... the lads don't mind her being there and so that's just sort of the arrangement
related (and eventually relevant to touch and go)... james falls asleep first. every single time. doesn't matter where they are or what they're doing. lily has hundreds of memories of him talking confidently about something and then simply passing out halfway through a sentence.
they are both horrible when the other is ill. james hovers and fusses and dramatically acts as though lily has one foot in the grave because she has a cold... which pisses lily off. meanwhile, lily thinks james is a whiny baby and gets so annoyed with his complaining when he is ill. they both laughed out loud during the "in sickness and in health" part of their vows
they are both incredibly nosy. one of the reasons they work so well is that neither of them gets annoyed by being interrogated. a conversation between them is basically just two people asking increasingly invasive questions because they're genuinely interested in each other's answers. but when one of them has gossip to share... mutual exuberance!!!
james never actually stops showing off for lily. the difference is that once they're together, he's no longer trying to impress her. he's just trying to make her laugh. it basically becomes his life mission.
james is surprisingly good at remembering tiny details about people and lily absolutely takes advantage of this. this allows them to be a great head girl and head boy and they're pretty universally beloved
james is one of the only people who can get lily to complain about things. she usually keeps it under wraps, but james knows exactly when to needle her enough to draw out a needed vent session
