AROMANTIC JAMES!! james who was asked once who his crush was when he was 11 and picked lily and never changed his mind, not because he actually wanted to date her but because she was bright and funny and had nice hair, and he knew he had to answer. also because when youâre 11⌠thatâs silly! relationships/hookups werenât really on his friendsâ radars until later, and james was just never interested, and people just took this as a sign of his unwavering loyalty to lily. they thought he was a romantic, and so he thought he must be too. it was lily, actually, who helped him realise he didnât actually want to date her⌠they became good friends and spent more time together and naturally people assumed things but really, james was just glad to have someone who knew (at that point, he hadnât told the boys. he was too unsure, too scared of what they might say). as lily and james spent more time together, sirius got increasingly jealous. eventually, sirius confessed his feelings for james, and james was. Stunned. he explained that that wasnât how it was with lily, but that it also wouldnât, couldnât be that with them either. james was heartbroken, so devastated that this close beautiful friendship had become something else, something more to padfoot. it fractured them for a while. sirius who took some time and space and realised that he didnât actually have feelings for james, he just so loved him and wanted to be part of his family forever (laurie and jo moment) and didnât want to be replaced. sirius and james found their way back to each other, better and different and warmer. the moment that james knew he would be loved anyway, by sirius, by lily, by everyone important to him, a knot loosened in his chest. his life was beautiful and full of love, none of it romantic!!!!!!
