Chopping and Piling Wood - James Potter/GN!reader
You were spending the week with James at his family’s cabin. There were a few of you staying in the area, but the reason you said yes was so you could spend time with your best friend and long-time crush, James.
You hadn’t told him about your crush, not since you saw him flirting with Lily on multiple occasions. You didn’t know how close they were, but you didn’t want your friendship with him to suffer.
Everyone decided to go out for a while. Even though you were invited, you didn’t go. You didn’t want to, you just wanted to stay in.
What you didn’t know was James had also decided to stay behind.
It was a beautiful day out, so you sat outside to read, when James came out, “don’t mind me, love.” He was gone almost in an instant.
You got into your book and forgot anyone else was there, when you heard, “it’s a beautiful day out?”
You jumped slightly and lowered your book, looking at where the voice came from to see James working up a sweat chopping wood.
“Umm, yeah, it is,” you responded, no longer able to keep your eyes off him. You knew he was toned from the sports he played, but you didn’t know about the muscles he had hidden.
He smiled before going back to chopping the wood, seeming happy that he had your attention. When he finally stopped, you walked over to him as he started to stack the wood. You didn’t even realise you had until you were standing near him.
“James?”
“Yeah, lovely,” he stopped and gave you all his attention.
“Would you like to go out with me?” You had asked really fast and you weren’t sure if it was understandable.
However, James seemed to understand, just as he always did with you. He walked over to you, wrapping his arms around you. “I’d love to.”
You wrapped your arms around him, before pulling back slightly and he leaned down to kiss you. You sighed happily before leaning against him, “I feel like I’ve wanted this for so long.”
“Me too, lovey, me too.”
