Stiles and Lydia think that five hours is a long enough time to do research. To relax from a stressful day full of vague encyclopedias and internet searches, they decide to kick back, watch a movie or two, stuff their faces with enough food to feed a hungry wolf pack, and some more... patented relaxation techniques. That means kissing.

"You know, I'm really glad you're here," he told her looking her in the eyes. She stared back, her heart swelling at the sincerity and warmth radiating from his eyes. She would never get used to that, not that she wanted to. "Me, too," she replied, smiling.

She was dramatic. He was dynamic. She was precise. He was impulsive. He was James, and she was Lily, and one day they shared a kiss, but before that they shared many arguments, for he was cocky, and she was sweet, and matters of the heart require time.

Her escape from reality was spoiled when a certain nemesis of hers decided to join her. Said nemesis, James Potter, however, offers a bet that sparks Lily's interest. Challenge Accepted. L/J

She says no and plays along as the boy with the wild hair and the brightest eyes she has ever seen pretends to be wounded and for a second, just for a second, they forget that there is a war raging on outside the castle walls.

The way he was staring, like he expected her to do a flip or something, it made her so unnerving.

He leans towards her, his declaration only audible to a privy few.

"I ... Lily, I read your diary and I ..." "It's okay, I get it." James looked relieved as she said this, and Lily stared at the ground, trying to hide her hurt. "You do?" "Yeah. I understand that you could never like me,I get that I'm plain."
