Summary
The word "friends" hit Lily like a punch to the gut. Her stomach twisted, a feeling of disappointment settling heavily in her chest.
James carried on, oblivious to her internal turmoil. "I take Sirius out for a flight when he's having a rough day. I thought it would cheer you up, too." Lily's heart sank. He did this with everyone. She wasn't special. But why did it bother her so much? As though a switch had been flipped, the realization dawned on her. James Potter had finally become everything she had once wished for—kind, respectful, and friendly. He had stopped teasing, stopped trying to impress her, and simply started treating her as a friend. And now, faced with the reality of that friendship, Lily hated it. Because in becoming her friend, James had also made her completely and utterly fall for him.
Lily forced a smile though nausea churned in her stomach. "Thanks, James. I'm lucky to have you as a friend."OR
Lily Evans realizes she has a crush on James in their seventh year but is too scared to make a move because James is finally being a wonderful friend. It's a story of angst, pining and fluff. Despite encouragement from all their friends, they are both just oblivious idiots.
