i do like jealous!james and jealous!lily but i’m also really drawn to the idea of lily and james being really popular and people getting crushes on them or admiring them all the time but neither of them getting jealous because there’s just no danger at all that they’d leave each other like its laughable

like i imagine james surrounded by his admirers in the common room after-party after he plays spectacularly and leads his team to victory in a quidditch match, and james is naturally just very flirty so he’s like soaking it all up and lily’s busy laughing and chatting with her friends in a corner and paying no attention

and then one of lily’s friends notices james showing off in the middle of the room and they whisper ‘but lily look at that girl obviously eyeing him and he doesn’t seem bothered by it and aren’t you bothered by it?’ and lily just laughs and goes ‘please. that boy doesn’t have a disloyal bone in his body’

and sure enough he spots her a few minutes later and comes over grinning and snogs her and then they tease each other and make each other laugh and just enjoy each other’s company for the rest of the party

aaaah just lily and james having a super healthy relationship is so appealing i love them
