For @goldentruth813 who wanted Jeddy and Muggle Sweets after a brit pick sesh❤️ sorry it sucks its written on my phone❤️
James stopped staring at Teddy and turned to Albus who was gazing at him, brows raised judgementally.
“Whatcha mean?” James asked, twisting the Lollipop around in his mouth to watch Albus squirm.
Albus wrinkled his nose. “That, you look like you’re practicing giving head.”
“Don’t need the practice,” James grinned. Albus groaned and buried his head in Scorpius’s shoulder, but James wasn’t interested in his brother’s puppy love. His attention was on Teddy who was stretched out on the picnic mat, currently choking on his sandwich.
“Alright there?” James asked, dipping his lollipop back into the sherbet packet before returning to sucking it.
“Just went down the wrong way,” Teddy mumbled, his eyes tracking the movement of James’s lollipop. James pulled the lollipop from his mouth with a loud pop, watching the way Teddy’s cheeks coloured.
James loved teasing Teddy. Always had and always would.
“Where’d you even get those?” Scorpius asked.
“Fred’s got a Muggle sweet fetish,” James said, “this is a Dip Dab as you dip the lolly in the sherbet, and then dab it in your mouth,” he said, sucking on the lolly obscenely before dipping it into the sherbet. He let the sherbet catch on his lips as he stared at Teddy. Teddy’s eyes followed the movement of his tongue as James licked the sherbet off.
“You missed some,” Albus sighed.
“Where?” James asked. Teddy tapped the side of his mouth and James licked the opposite. “Is it off?”
“No,” Teddy said. James watched the bob of his Adam’s Apple, he wouldn’t mind licking sherbet off Teddy’s neck. He wouldn’t mind licking other parts of Teddy to be honest.
“Can you get it for me?” James asked, presuming Teddy would just laugh at him. He wasn’t expecting for Teddy to lean in and brush his thumb across James’s bottom lip. James’s breath caught, his tongue catching the calloused pad of Teddy’s thumb. He wanted more than anything to throw the lollipop away and suck Teddy’s thumb into his mouth, show Teddy exactly what he could do. He’d wanted Teddy for so long.
“Now it’s gone,” Teddy breathed.
“Shameless,” Albus muttered.
James could feel his cheeks flushing with heat that wasn’t from the July sun. He felt all of his confidence evaporate as he stared at Teddy, who was staring evenly back at him. Teddy had never shown any interest in James’s flirtations before, not genuine interest anyway.
“Think mum called me,” James squawked, jumping up and legging it over to the other end of The Burrow. He spoke to his mum for five minutes before making more excuses and heading off to hide behind his grandad’s shed. He just needed a moment to breathe.
Not that he was allowed it as moments later, Teddy appeared, yellow sherbet packet in hand and James’s lollipop in his mouth.
“I was sucking on that,” James said stupidly at the sight of Teddy pulling the red lollipop from his mouth. He wondered if Teddy would taste sweet if he kissed him.
Teddy laughed, his laugh warm, familiar and easy. It wrapped around James like a comfort blanket, bringing a smile to his face. “You were. It’s nice.”
“Yeah,” James said, as Teddy dipped the lollipop in the sherbet before holding it to James’s lips. James opened his mouth eagerly, feeling the sherbet catch on his lips as Teddy swirled the lollipop in James’s mouth.
“Jesus,” Teddy murmured as James opened his mouth to let Teddy pull the lollipop from his lips. “Jamie.”
James felt like he’d run a marathon, his heart pounding against his ribs as Teddy’s fingers traced his lips, lollipop falling to the floor forgotten.
“Anything around my mouth?” James asked as Teddy’s fingers stilled. Teddy nodded. “Help me get rid of it?”
Teddy’s fingers brushed James’s lips before pulling away but before James could protest they were replaced by Teddy’s mouth.
Teddy Lupin was kissing him. James froze but when Teddy started to pull away his brain kicked back into gear and he knotted his hands in Teddy’s shirt, clashing their mouths back together. Teddy’s hands cupped James’s face, cradling him as if he was afraid it was a dream. James licked into his mouth greedily. James had been right, Teddy did taste like sherbet.
“Who knew Muggle sweets could be so seductive?” Teddy laughed when he pulled back. James grinned and leaned back in for another kiss, they could talk later. All he wanted for now was Teddy’s lips against his.
