(Part One) (Part Two) Merry Christmas, anon! James is pretty sure Lily is too comfortable with their relationship this Christmas.
Lily Apparated in after spending Christmas morning with her family, and James and Sirius both tackled her on sight.
“Let her up, let her up,” Mrs. Potter said as she hauled Sirius up by the back of his shirt collar. “Lily, dear, so good to see you. Happy Christmas.”
Once Lily was back on her feet and Mrs. Potter was on her way to the kitchen to ask the house elves for cookies and ciders, James and Sirius pulled her into the living room. Lily’s eyes were wide as she took in the house; it was a beautiful home on a good day, but with the amount of tinsel and garlands and the elaborately decorated tree, it looked more like a picture in one of her mum’s magazines than a family home. James flopped into one of the plush armchairs and pulled her into his lap, kissing her on the nose gently and grinning.
“Oh Merlin,” Sirius groaned. “I’ll keep Mum Potter away long enough for you two to be disgusting together,” he drawled, dragging his feet behind him and dragging his hands across the string of bells hanging from one of the shelves. “You’ve been apart three days. Ridiculous.”
“Happy Christmas,” James said quietly when Sirius’s elaborate exit was through.
“Same to you,” Lily grinned. She kissed him gently but pulled back quicker than James was ready for. His face was slack and lips slightly open when he popped his eyes open in surprise. “Do you think he’s right?”
“Sirius. About us being ridiculous.”
“It’s Christmas and I get to spend it with you for the first time. Sirius is lucky I didn’t make us matching sweaters and write a song,” James said lightly. He tried to lean forward to recapture her lips but she dodged him and placed a hand on his chest. He groaned and lowered his forehead to rest against Lily’s.
“Just sit for a moment,” she whispered. She burrowed her face in his neck and inhaled. “I just want to enjoy you.”
“You could enjoy snogging me,” James grumbled but he made no attempt to change what was happening. His heart felt too full just then to really complain. After a minute he kissed her cheek and chuckled. “You’ve made yourself just right at home here, Lils.”
