woe
The rain has finally stopped, it is gloriously sunny outside and my obsessive frequenting of bbc weather informs me that it will continue to be gorgeous for the next five days.
Only I am ill. And have hay fever. Well the hay fever part I can live with, besides I am finally in the posession of medicine, but the horrible illness thing is not on. My head hurts and my throat and I can't concentrate but I need to work, I really do, as I didn't write a single essay last week, which was nice at the time, but not anymore. I have had eleven hours of sleep and now all I want is to go back to bed.
Woe.
Ooh, I have been wanting to do the first kiss meme
Give me two characters, and I'll write their first kiss.
Fandoms I am willing to write in: Harry Potter, Heroes, the OC, Smallville, Firefly, Scrubs. Crossovers welcome.
I am going to make myself some herbal tea with honey and then go to boots and buy some medicines. And then come back and read about Causation.

Sirius/Lily, First kiss
In the week before his sixth year starts, Sirius runs into Lily Evans in Diagon Alley. They are both shopping for the new school year and in a way that acquaintances tend to speak if they meet away from they shared environment they decided to have lunch together. It is a little awkward at first. They may be in the same house and year but they don’t really know each other and Sirius can’t really be himself in front of the girl his best mate is totally besotted with.
But Lily is chatty and friendly and soon they are engaged in a fun conversation about their respective holidays and Sirius is laughing and not at all distracted by the shiny red of her hair.
He really wants to kiss her. The thought comes unbidden and Sirius shakes his head horrified with himself but can’t get rid of it.
Lily looks concerned
“Are you okay?” She frowns, and Sirius wants to lick the worry lines between her brows.
No wonder James has got it so bad, he thinks. He nods eventually, aware that the pause had stretched to an uncomfortable length.
“Yeah, I am good, just a little too hot” ‘You are hot’ he thinks and smiles reassuringly.
After this their conversation start to die off and before it becomes painfully awkward Sirius makes his excuse and gets up to leave, Lily looks hurt almost and he feels terrible. As they are saying good bye they hug quickly, and he is about to kiss her cheek, when she is about to do the same and it sort of doesn’t work out. Their lips almost brush and they stare into each others eyes, and Sirius is about to move away when Lily kisses him. It is a small, timid kiss, there is no tongue, no parting of lips, just a quick press of lips against lips, gone before he could think of responding.
She pulls away looking shocked from her own actions. Her eyes are wide and her hand flies to her face.
“I am sorry!” She whispers and leaves, not quite running away.
Sirius is dumbstruck and terrified. Neither if them mentions the incident again. In the Spring Lily starts to go out with James.

Hope you feel better soon, hayfever or illness is bad enough alone but both together must be horrendous. Maybe you should go back to bed, sometimes it's possible to simply sleep illness away. That tends to be my method of dealing with it anyway, hee.
As for the meme, Kaylee/Simon or James/Lily. Or both!
Enjoy the tea! xxx

Sirius/James, First kiss
James is drunk, really, really drunk. After the latest rejection from Evans he had needed cheering up and Sirius had stolen a bottle of fire whiskey and they’d had fun. They started off with harmless drinking games (James kept loosing) with Peter and Remus also there and then someone suggested truth and dare. Peter had made his excuses fairly quickly and Remus followed him soon after.
James feels warm and sleepy, he is leaning for support on Sirius’s shoulder and feels content there.
Sirius isn’t that drunk at all, in fact he is painfully sober and hyper aware of James’s head on his shoulder, James’s hair is prickly against his neck and it really is quite uncomfortable. Sirius doesn’t shift or push him away or move or anything at all really. He tries to sit still, and his neck begins to ache and as he sneezes James slips off of his shoulder and with a sleepy mumble nestles himself in Sirius’s lap.
In his bloody lap. Sirius is indignant for a bit but James is sort of nuzzling his thigh and he seems to be sleeping and dear god maybe even drooling a tiny little bit and Sirius doesn’t know what to do.
James shifts to make himself more comfortable, and mumbles something in his sleep which could be ‘Lily’ but Sirius isn’t sure. He isn’t really trying to analyse James’s dreams right now though, he is uncomfortable, and uncomfortably hard and it would be fair to say – quietly mortified.
He is counting to ten, he tells himself that if James doesn’t move, he will wake him up and take him to bed. James’s bed, that is. Not his bed.
Sirius is quickly developing a headache and he is up to eight in his count when James shifts again and his arm reaches wildly grabbing at the air, eventually grabbing Sirius.
Sirius forgets to breath.
James makes a small noise at the back of his throat and Sirius leans down to see if he is awake or sleep moving and at the same time James’s head sort of snaps up, his eyes wide behind his wonky glasses and Sirius tries to move back, to keep some appropriate personal distance, but James is still clutching at him and doesn’t let him go.
James smiles and kisses the corner of Sirius’s mouth before settling back in his lap. His eyes are open wide and his lips curved in what looks like self satisfaction and Sirius is not one to ignore a dare, he leans more, and it really is a ridiculously awkward position and he doesn’t care as soon as he is kissing his best friend on the mouth. James’s lips are soft and they part for him with a sigh. Sirius can taste the fire whiskey on James’s tongue and god if people were made for kissing someone positioned on their lap they would be able to give themselves head and wow that was a thought. He cradles James’s head and lifts him up a bit, careful not to increase the distance between them.
It doesn’t last for very long as James pull away and his smile is innocent in a way only the very young or the very drunk can manage.
“I guess that’s my dare done.”
And unbidden, Wormtail’s words echo through Sirius’s mind “I dare you to…to kiss your secret crush” They had all laughed, no one would consider Evans a ‘secret crush’ and James had chosen to take a long swig of his drink instead.
