I ship JamesBer. They're beautiful. (anon)

AN: A sad little Jamesber drabble to kick off my return. Thank you for submitting a request! And apologies for it being what four years late?

How many times had they lived through this exact scene? Was it four, five times? How many times had his embrace left her shivering stead of warming her as it once did? Too many times for it to still affect her like this.

Amber watched as James walked solemnly throughout the apartment, collecting the things that were technically his but had made the place theirs. He didn’t even spare a glance in her direction.

It always ended up like this, they always ended up like this. Two strangers with too much history between them living under the same roof. It was exhausting, to say the least. She was tired of it, tired of him walking in and out of her when he felt like it. There were too many hellos and far too many good-byes for her to be okay with it.

“Why are we watching this?” James asked hisfingers running slowly through Amber’s short hair while they sat huddledtogether on her couch. The room was pitch black around them, but the televisionscreen was bright enough to light up the room. “Shhh!!!” Amber replied whilereadjusting herself on his chest, not even sparing him a glance. “This is thebest part!” 

A low chuckle escaped himas he wrapped an arm around her waist pulling her closer to him. “This show isa waste of time. Why do you even watch it? It’s just a group of guys withoverly deep voices, complaining about trust issues, while they chase aftersupposed ghosts. I for one vote we change the channel to something far moreworthwhile.” 

“This is worthwhile!!Where else can I watch Misha Collins, Jenson Ackles, and Jared Padalecki atonce? And I’ll have you know they have reason for those trust issues! Theirmother died when they were just children!” She retorted, finally turning toglare at him, clearly upset that he had criticized her favorite show. 

With a smile he extendedhis hand out toward her, “Give me the remote Amber.” “No! I wanna watch this!”“Amber just give me the remote we’ll find something else!” “No!” she cried outmoving away from him making sure to hold the remote away from him. Suddenly helunged at her aiming to take possession of the remote, eliciting a high pitch screamfrom her. “JAMES! NO!” 

“Just give me theremote.” He laughed still trying to get the remote from her. “I mean it AmberJosephine Liu! If you don’t give me the remote, I will…” “Do what? I dare youto do something”, she laughed, squirming underneath him trying to both shovehim off and keep the remote away from him. 

“Alright you asked forit.” And without warning he reached out, his hands moving over her stomach ashe started tickling her. Immediately she started laughing, tucking herself intoa ball in a feeble attempt to escape his torturous touch. “Give up?”“N-ne-nev…haha okay, okay!! Just stop!” Instantly he stopped and snatched theremote from her hands. “Was that so hard?” he asked grinning down at her.
