Chapter 1
Regulus was weeping quietly in the corner of the astronomy tower, his nails digging into his forearm trying to resist the urges when he heard footsteps he froze quickly, it was way past curfew and he would need to make up a reason for why he was up here so late, until James Potter came into view he was holding a cigarette in his mouth and a lighter in his pocket, reg sighed in relief that it was only his brothers best mate.
Potters head whipped to the source of sound and jumped lightly "Merlin Reggie, my soul just left my body!" James whisper-yelled, regulus stood up pulling down his short sleeve that had made its way to the top of his shoulder "Really? I didn't take you for a smoker" he sighed out, "Yeah well, if you hang around a best mate who smokes your guaranteed to try some new things" his head turned back to the stars over the wide balcony, lifting the lighter up and lightly the end of the cigarette then pulling it out and throwing his head back to blow it out, "So.. what are you doing up here?" He asked. "Uhm, I don't really know" reg chuckled nervously trying to think of a good lie quickly but nothing came to him, his mind was blank for the first time in forever.
James turned his head to me, eyebrows furrowing slightly "You can tell me Reg, I don't ask and tell" he softly smiles, "I think the actual term is kiss and tell potter" he rolled his eyes playfully, "Says who?" James replied, and Reg chuckled breathily "Me, I said so" he shrugged and James was smiling and shaking his head "You didn't answer me you know, why are you up here?" James asked, Again. " Well you see it's kind of like complicated and I don't really want you to worry or tell Remus or Sirius or just like anyone in general and I'm not saying I don't trust but I know your not," James had a confused glance and he realised that he might be talking too fast.
"Good with secrets.." Reg finished softly, "Oh I'm not good with secrets?" James whispered lowly, the rasp in his voice becoming more clear and it made regulus heat up more then it should've, "come on just tell me Reg" James turned his body to regulus, now just a few inches away from eachother, "It's.. it's complicated.." Reg tried to change the subject but failed miserably, stuttering and his eyes landing everywhere but on James, but all thoughts flushed out when he felt warmth around his waist James was.. hugging him, at first Reg didn't retaliate because he was too busy being frozen and had no idea what to do. Regulus wrapped his arms around James's neck and cuddled into the crook of his neck, breathing softly.
