Beautiful
‘Bollocks.’ Regulus thought, squeezing through the gap and out into the cold night air. Mercifully it had stopped raining, though the clouds were ready to spill at any time. He made it to the corner of the building before an arm snaked around his waist. It took all his self control not wobowcrhe body that accompanied the arm.
“Hi lover boy.’ V sung, the thousand watt smile somewhat dimmed by drink and drugs.
“V” Regulus said, ice dripping like lead from his tone. “Exactly how high are you?” He was not in the mood to be someone else right now.
“High enough to make you soar through the clouds.” V grinned, holding out a freshly rolled smoke “It’s good shit. Better than France.”
V had been moving steadily closer and Regulus found himself backed against the edge of the alley wall. ‘Why are pubs always beside alleys?’ He thought distractedly, completely unfazed by his situation.
“V” he said, aiming for mildly but not quite getting there. “You need to leave now. Without me.”
V grinned. “Come on lover boy. A quick snog. Then we can go our merry way.”
Regulus laughed despite himself. “You do not believe in a quick snog.”
“Too true. And we are rather good at them.”
“Hey. There you are.” James had arrived “Oh. Am I interrupting something?”
“No.” “Yes.” Regulus and V said in unison.
Regulus could see the hurt as James turned on his own amazing smile. “In that case I’ll see you later.” James said a little too brightly.
“V. I’ve got to go.” Regulus effortlessly pushed V away. ‘Everyone underestimates the skinny guy,’ he thought amused by the shocked look on V’s face.
“He can join in” V turned a dazzling smile on James who laughed.
“I’m flattered and I’m sure it would be fun, but we’ve places to see and people to be.” James said, unsurprised to see Regulus simply walking away from them. “Maybe next time.” He grinned. V waggled a brow causing James to laugh as he turned to leave.
A few moments later Regulus had made his way past the pub and started up the hill with James hot on his heels.
“You okay.” James asked, falling into step with the slightly shorter man’s long strides.
“Perfectly.” Regulus said
They were almost back at the house before James found the nerve to ask the question that had been burning inside him all the way home.
“Who… who was the blond?” He asked tentatively
Regulus stopped “Are you asking because you care or because you’re curious?” He ventured.
“Both. Neither.” James said and took a step forward. “I want to make sure that I’m not kissing a taken man.”
Regulus smirked. “Who says you’re kissing me.?”
“Me.” James said as he pulled Regulus into him and bent to wipe off the smirk.
Regulus squashed his instinctive reaction and put up no resistance. The air fizzed around them as the rain hit the protective bubble he had cast on the way up the hill. James deepened the kiss. Whatever the hell was happening here, he no longer cared. He wanted more. So much more.
Without breaking the kiss, James opened the door while Regulus floated them inside, stopping at the bottom of the stairs.
“What do you want Reg?” James asked as he moved to leave a trail of small, hungry bites from Regulus’s ear to his collarbone.
“You Jamie. Always you.” Regulus sighed as he tilted his head to give James more access to his neck.
“Are you sure?” James asked, pulling back to stare into glowing silver-blue eyes. “Because if we go beyond this, if we go upstairs, I’m not stopping until all your ice is melted.”
Regulis gave a soft, throaty laugh. “Good luck.” He said and pulled James back into another more passionate kiss.
James moaned. This was electrifying. Without thinking, he swung Regulus up into his arms and bounded up the stairs to his room. “Last chance.” He said stepping over the threshold.
“Shut up Potter. Decision’s been made. Now hurry up and fuck me.” Regulus growled, waving the door closed and casting a silence spell on the outside of the room.
In response James dropped him on the bed and straddled him. “You’re being terribly bossy. Where are all your glorified manners?”
“Currently in my cock.” Regulus grinned, thrusting his hips up into James who promptly let out another moan. “Do you always moan this much?” He asked, snaking a hand down James’s chest and giving another thrust of his hips.
“It’s entirely possible, but you’ll need to run some tests.” James said using his hands to begin to undress Regulus at which point all conversation got lost as mouths hungrily sought each other out and bodies became entwined.
——
True to his word James had done everything in his power to melt Regulus. And, it appeared, had succeeded. Now Regulus lay on his back in a puddle of tangled sheets and sweat as James lay propped up on an elbow beside him, tracing patterns on his pale, almost hairless chest.
“You are beautiful Reg. Has anyone ever told you that?” James said, his voice full of wonder.
Regulus gave a self deprecating laugh. “You need to put your glasses back on.”
“No. I know beauty when I see it. and right now it’s lying in my bed, this time with no clothes on and properly satiated.” James said, feeling particularly smug about his bedroom skills. Finally all that sleeping around was paying off. Even if this was the furthest he’d ever gone with a boy.
Regulus felt the blush rise at the warmth and desire in James’s eyes. “Shall we see what I can do for you?” He asked, letting his own desire surge forward, and pulling James in for a kiss with one hand while the other went exploring. A groan of pleasure escaped James as he felt the long elegant fingers begin to roam, leaving traces of fire along his back, his buttocks and his cock. ‘Fire and ice. Oh. … oh …. Oh …’
The sun had just broken over the horizon when Regulus awoke. He had indeed made James sing, though it was probably just as well no one else could hear. He gazed at the magnificent man lying beside him, face smiling even in sleep. Sliding carefully out of bed, Regulus quickly gathered his clothes from where they lay scattered around the bed and got dressed. He stood silently for a long moment and allowed himself to feast upon the long brown limbs, broad shoulders and muscled back sprawled on amongst the sheets. He etched the image in his mind before locking it safely in its own vault in the depths of his mind.
“Goodbye Jamie. Take care.” He whispered, a lump forming in his heart. and apparated away
