"Okay" he took a breath in "now explain it another time"

This time Remus actually rolled his eyes and almost scoffed now : it was the fourth time that day already that he spelled out the story behind the celebration of Saint Valentine's day.

"Don't do this to me Moony, I want to make her something special" James was practically whining now, he was almost desperate -all for nothing, obviously-

Remus smiled sympathetically and put a hand on his shoulder "don't worry about the history and the meaning mate, just know that we use this day to celebrate the lovers", his face of almost-terror didn't change so Sirius -finally- jumped in the conversation "Just do what you're good at : be a loverboy"; they managed to share a laugh but James's head was running all around.

(Y/n) didn't say anything about Valentine's day to James, she knew that as a half-blood she had different traditions than the pureblood magic families and besides they weren't officially together, they were "just seeing eachother".

For everyone around them they could already have a child for all they'd known, not that they were so public about their relationship but their sentiments were so pure and visible that it was obvious even to the ghosts of the castle.

Nevertheless (Y/n) dreaded to spend the day with him : on Fridays they both had half the day free, so they always tried to spent most of it together.

Today (Y/n) hoped it was nothing different.

She was wrong.

The strange things started at breakfast when James didn't come down from Gryffindor tower, "he had to ask something about his paper to Minnie" said Peter when she asked why he wasn't there. "I'll see him in history of magic then", Lily who had the class with them instantly lowered her head to her plate and didn't say anything.

But that didn't mean anything, right?

(Y/n)'s suspicious were proven right when James didn't show up in history of magic and Lily refused to even approach the subject. The situation only got worse when James wasn't even at lunch; had something happen to him? She got so up in her head that she ran to check the infirmary ten minutes into the lunch. Madame Pomfrey tough told her he wasn't there.

(Y/n) was rather disappointed that James was apparently ignoring her, almost angry with him when she reached her dorm room. She threw herself on her bed and screamed in her pillow all the bad words she'd tell James if she had him in front of her. It took her too much time to realise that on her bedside table there was a red tulip and a note.

19;30

Whomping Willow

It's a date.

She tried to resist it, but a smile instantly crept up her face. It was automatic when James Potter was involved.

(Y/n) got up and started to prepare for this unexpected date. She really really tried to not overdo herself, because James truly got on her nerves today but it was so natural for her to commit with the best version of herself for James; he was a too caring boy to not influence the people around him to want to be good for him.

During her walk to the Whomping Willow she repeated in her head that he wanted to see her and surely had an explanation for his absence.

The moment (Y/n) saw him tough, she forgot everything and got distracted by the sparkle of his eyes. Her brain disconnected from her mouth and she was only able to yell "where the hell were you today?"

Sure was that James was startled by her reaction, "everything will be cleared up, sweetheart" he extended his hand to her "now, would you please follow me?"

Of course she would.

They didn't walk for long, and while they did James tried to distract her by describing to her every kind of tree they passed. When they arrived at a signed-with-an-x oak James made her stop and close her eyes.

"Why do I have to?"

"Because I'm asking you"

She scoffed but did it anyway.

James guided her another three or four steps ahead when he made her stop again and open her eyes.

(Y/n) was speechless.

Between two large trees there was a big mattress and an exaggerated amount of colorful pillows and blankets. The trees curved in a way to form an arch, as to protect the little space James created. All around that gash of forest they were surrounded by fairies and glow bugs. Above the mattress James managed to enchant a series of flowing notes to have music.

Everything was so romantic.

When (Y/n) turned to look at him James produced a basket from behind a bush and whispered "happy valentine's day".

"How do you know?"

He shrugged his shoulders and half grinned "i have my ways"

Remus, of course.

He invited her to have a seat on their make shift bed and she obliged, still smiling and looking all around.

"I made you a dinner-breakfast" he declared when he opened the basket and a delicious smell came from it. James put out warm pancakes with cream and lots of chocolate chips biscuits, he also had a big flagon of their favourite tea. (Y/n) watched him carefully position everything out for them and couldn't help but smile; she spent all day worrying and getting angry by his absence while he was preparing all this, just for her.

"Thank you" she suddenly said, and James was surprised about it -not because (Y/n) wasn't a grateful person but because he didn't do it to be praised about it, just because he wanted to make her happy-

(Y/n) reached for his hand and squeezed it, "you really didn't have to do this, but I love it"

James smiled one of his purest and warmest smiles. The one he reserved for the people he truly loved and he loved (Y/n) so much.

They ate almost everything, (Y/n) recalled her day to James and he talked to her about how he did everything he did to organise this beautiful set up.

"Sirius helped with the music and Peter with the cooking, you already gathered that Remus is the one to thank for all the Saint Valentine's day knowledge I have now; Lily hated lying to you, because we all know how she is when she lies but-"

James didn't realise it while he rambled but (Y/n) got every second that passed closer to him, to the point that she was brushing his nose with hers.

"James" she whispered to warn him of her presence and then she moved and kissed him.

He was the one stunned now.

He didn't know why, but he really wasn't expecting this.

Her lips were warm and her movements tentative, until James's brain started to function again and he kissed her back. He took her face in his hands and moved her closer, (Y/n) was smiling. When she pulled back she remained her forehead against his, she wanted to feel him all. After a moment or so of the two of them breathing in each other James asked a mere perceivable "why?", (Y/n) opened her eyes and looked him straight in his while finally confessing "I liked this very much, and I like you even more James Potter"

James was grinning so wide he made his dimple pop.

"Good" he decided and proceeded to make (Y/n) lay on her back on the mattress and kiss her until any of them two was at loss of oxygen.

It took him lots of kisses and pulled lips to finally realise, "oh my god, that was our first kiss".

His face was priceless.

(Y/n) chuckled, "yes James", she was playing with some strands of his hair and was looking at him with a kind of sweetness in her eyes James wasn't aware he was ready to see.

He straightened himself a little and tried not to make a face too worried, while he searched for the courage to talk again he started fidgeting with (Y/n)'s fingers. He opened his mouth once or twice, then finally "so what does that mean?"

Oh, James

"Well..." (Y/n) used her fingers to move his face towards her by the chin and smiled, "what do you want it to mean?"

He said the next words with a needing in his tone so touching that even the fairies around them would have reacted, "I really want to be with you"

(Y/n) couldn't understand the fear in his eyes, of course she wanted to be with him too. She just repeated him, "Good." and smiled wider than before.

James exhaled a breath he then called unnecessary and leaned in to kiss her again.

They fell asleep in the forest, tangled in their hugs.

The next day when they missed breakfast and returned to the common room laughing and touching each other every two steps, everyone of their friends had the same thought: "Finally".

Lily jumped to her feet to slap James on the back of his head, "that's for making me lie to her", everyone chuckled, even James, "well... it was worth it in the end".

Saint Valentine's Day Fic Requests!

As my own personal way of celebrating Saint Valentine's Day, I've decided to open up ship-fic requests for TWDG! Until the end of today, you can submit requests for romance oneshots either on this post or through asks, and I will work on them as part of a small collection to celebrate the holiday. It may take some time to actually complete the oneshots since I'll probably be working on them over the weekends, but if I decide to accept a request then you can be assured that it WILL be completed eventually.

For this collection, I will accept requests for the following pairings:

Lee X Carley

Lee X Lilly

Duck X Becca from 400 Days

Gabe X Clementine

Kenny X Katjaa

As a disclaimer, I won't be accepting any nsfw requests, nor am I interested in major character death. Normal levels of violence for TWDG are entirely fine. Requests can be for the normal setting of TWDG, or can be entirely AU if you wish.

I hope you're all having a wonderful Valentine's Day, and may your life be full of love!

COORIER (Flying/Psychic) - The Messenger Pokemon

Decided to finish this one for Valentine's Day, but got it ready too early so I decided to post it anyways, maybe I will make something new for Valentine.

COORIER is based on the Luzon Bleeding-Heart (Gallicolumba luzonica) mixed with a Mailman/Delivery Courier

It has the ability Overcoat as a reference to the phrase “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” often associated with the postal office
