a genuine smile blossomed along his lips at the sight of her. as arms circled around his neck, a hand would find itself resting upon her hip.
" Happy Valentine's Day. "
he would murmur against her lips.
his free hand moving upwards to allow him to oh-so gently run his thumb along her cheek.

/ lol. Great minds think alike as I was just going to ask you if I'd you'd like to do that.

-- he'd leaned down, lips pressing to her temple to press a kiss to it.

his brother smiled impishily before disappearing, no doubt to bother albus. his recent crush, after the whole Louis debacle.

lysander watched him briefly before focusing his attention on the redhead.

" would you like to get out of here?
it's a touch hot."

--

-- the surface, but for now, he was...content with being with his family.

" breathing is overrated."
lorc chimed up, eventually letting go of both his siblings. as if of one mind, both twins would reach forth to ruffle her hair.

" when it comes to hugs "

Lysander finished teasingly. there had been tension within the family and perhaps it was still brimming beneath--

/ of course, darling ! 😊😊

" merry christmas, pan."

he beamed over at the brunette, moving forward in order to give her a hug.
a hearty laugh would leave his lips as his brother all but threw himself on the pair ; hugging the pair.

-- would have Lysander regretfully draw away, shooting his very amused, very annoying brother a look.

stepping into her grasp, arms would circle her waist as he brought the other into him.
" merry christmas, lily luna. "

the kiss was met instantly with enthusiasm. a hand moving upward to cup a freckled cheek.

" I cannot wait to spend another year with you."

a loud cough--

" a little?

james hasn't even caught up with what's happening and you're practically spelling it out for him."

finger hooks beneath her chin, tilting her features upwards.

" let him come to it on his own."

has anyone ever told you that you two are frightening together?

breathing heavy, eyes taking in the sight of the woman across from him. the flushed cheek, the swollen lips caused him to swallow thickly.

" and I, you."

a kiss would be pressed to her own. once, twice, and thrice before forehead would meet the others. fingers brushing tresses of fire.

that really makes sense why the two of you get along so well.

-- in search of a bowl to empty the contents of the popcorn bag.

grabbing the bowl, he'd return.

" there you are. "

handing it over to her before he'd plopped right back down on the couch.

--
" pause. Just going to fetch the popcorn."

he stepped towards the kitchenette, opening up the microwave. finger tips cautiously reached for the now puffed up bag, the scent of popcorn filtering the air.

he would pop open the bag, letting the steam release. he'd moved swiftly--

a simple nod of the head would follow as she proceeded to explain the relationship between the blonde and redhead.
he had follow-up questions, but just as he'd been prepared to speak, the microwave dinged.

Lysander pressed a quick kiss to her temple before untangling himself.
--

" your brothers aren't that bad.

don't tell, panda but I may have to agree.
she's the loveliest. "
