AN: This is one of my personal favorites, so I'd love to know what you think of it!


Prompt: Luscious


The sun was falling on her face. She opened her eyes and saw that James was awake, propped up on one elbow.

He kissed her on the forehead. "Good morning, beautiful," he said.

She smiled up at him. "Beautiful? You can't do any better than that?" she said teasingly.

"Good morning, exquisite," he said, laughing.

"That makes it sound like I'm made of sparkly glass. Look at this exquisite chandelier! Look at this exquisite candlestick!"

"Fine, fine," he said. "Good morning, radiant."

"Yay! I always wanted to be the sun," she said, rolling her eyes.

"What's the matter with being the sun?"

"It's a giant ball of flaming gas. A bit like you, actually."

"Haha," he said. "Very funny."

"Try again," she said, snuggling closer to him.

"Good morning, luscious."

"Luscious!" she exclaimed. "That's even worse. It sounds like I'm a fruit."

"You're impossible to please," he said, kissing her again. "But either way, good morning, Lily Potter."

"Lily Potter," she said, smiling. "Now that I think I can get used to."

"You had better," said James teasingly. "As of yesterday, you are officially stuck with it."

"And there's no other name in the world that I'd rather be stuck with," said Lily.

"Well, then, let me say it again."

She closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

The sunlight was falling on her face. She opened her eyes and saw that James was awake, propped up on one elbow.

He kissed her on the forehead. "Good morning, Lily Potter."
