Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter Teddy would not be with Victore so obviously I don't own it! Jk Rowling does and I REALLY wish I was her…

This is the first chapter in my new story and my first story about Teddy and James! I fell in love with reading this pairing and then this idea popped into my head so I had to write it!

Teddy knows this is wrong. Everything about the situation is wrong but no matter how hard he tries he can't stop. Walking towards the Potter house, in the rain, on the first day of summer vacation is proof of that. He hadn't brought an umbrella, letting the weather punish him for his sins and he had a lot of them, which is why he figured it was raining Goblins and Elves. Finally he got to the Potter residence and knocked on the door, it was only a few seconds before somebody answered.

"Teddy, we didn't expect you today!" His godfather smiled at him as he ushered him inside.

"When do I ever do what's expected?" Teddy laughed on the outside but on the inside his stomach churned.

Before Harry could answer 15 year old Albus ran in "I thought I heard you!" he patted his god-brother on the back but then grimaced and shook the rain droplets off of his hand "Why are you wet?"

"Cuz it's raining out"

"Well yeah I know that but why didn't you just apparate here?"

"Felt like walking" Teddy shrugged.

"You're nuts"

"Albus" Harry admonished his son but with a smile, knowing that Teddy was like family and any banter between the boys was all in good fun.

"Well it's true. We all know Teddy's got a few screws loose up there." a new playful voice joined the conversation, belonging to the person Teddy had been dreading and dreaming about seeing.

Slowly he looked up towards the voice and god was it a breathtaking sight. James Potter leaned against the staircase rail, his brown hair falling off the nape of his neck to frame his face as he stared down towards the group but his soft caramel eyes were fixed solely on Teddy. He hopped up on the rail and slid down, landing with a thump next to them, making Teddy regain his voice.

"I hope you guys don't mind I dropped by." He offered

"Of corse not, you're welcome here anytime." Harry grinned "But I suggest you three go upstairs before Ginny and Lily see you. They and the other girls have been placing bets on when you'll pop the question."

Teddy was glad he hadn't eaten anything before coming over otherwise he was sure it would have all come back up after hearing that statement. He had been dating Victore for five years, on and off mostly but overall five years. Of corse everyone would expect him to propose soon…well not everyone if James stiffening up was any indication.

"He's right" Albus broke the suddenly awkward silence "I do not want to see mom and Lily gushing over Teddy again. Lets go upstairs."

"Al's right, see you later dad." James waved, following his brother up the staircase towards the bedrooms and pulling Teddy with. The three of them piled into James' room, Teddy laid himself down on the bed with probably more familiarity then a god brother should have. Before Albus could take notice of this James intercepted him.

"Hey Al why don't you head into town and buy us some of those muggle candies you like so much." James suggested.

"You mean M&M's and what are you two hiding? You've been acting weird since last Christmas." Albus asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, Ill even let you use my new broom. Please Al?"

"Fine but I will figure out what's up."

After Albus left James closed the door and turned back to Teddy "Okay, what's up? You come here without even Owling me then you're all twitchy and weird downstairs."

Teddy's hair started to turn a very depressing shade of grey. "I…" he trailed off slowly and looked out the window guiltily. A pair of soft hands cupped his cheeks and green eyes met uncharacteristically serious caramel ones.

"Ted you know you can tell me anything right?" James' thumbs stroked my cheek slowly "I mean I think I've proven I can keep a secret pretty well." He smirked softly but that only made Teddy feel worse because it was that very secret that had tortured him while simultaneously gave him reason to smile each and everyday.

"About that…about us…I've been wanting to say this for a while but I didn't know how. Being with you has been amazing, better then I had ever imagined and you're just seventeen, barely legal and I'm with Victore. Everyone wants me to marry her! You heard your dad down there! So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I-what I mean is-I guess-I just want-I…"

Why is this so hard! Teddy mentally screamed. It was supposed to be easy, break whatever this is off with James and be a loyal boyfriend to Victore. It wasn't supposed to be this difficult!

Teddy closed his eyes, clearing his mind of everything else and trying to give himself the courage to say what he had been wanting to for months. He took a deep breath and blurted out "I love you"

Wait what!

…...

Looks like Teddy's mouth got away from him this time.
