Just helping each other out, sometimes, just the two of them something they had that Remus and Sirius--especially Sirius--weren't part of, it didn't mean something, it never meant something, yet when he watches James watch Lily, he almost, almost wishes something... almost... it's just, he's never been very good at much of anything, or really had James to himself, and Lily. He'll never forget the look in those damn green eyes, but. It's nothing.
