Resume
Regulus stared blankly at the book on his lap, brushing his fingers over the hem of his sleeve, deep in thought.
He read over the words, and all he could think was, this character reminds him so much of James.
He was bubbly, happy, cute, had a golden retriever personality and was a literal ball of sunshine. The thought made him lift his head up, finding James talking to June, the young person he’d helped out the other day.
After a few moments, James looked up, locking eyes with him and instantly smiling, Regulus nodded in return.
Honestly, he thought that was it, but James now decided to walk over to him, so he clumsily picked up his book and casually tried to act like he hadn’t been staring too much. That probably didn’t seem very convincing, but a man can try.
“Reggie!”
“Didn’t I tell you not to call me that?”
“But you fell asleep on my shoulder,” James started, no doubt noticing the tomato colour of the pale boys cheeks. “I should be able to call you Reggie, Reggie.” He teased.
Picking up his book, he closed it, looked James in his pretty doe eyes and whacked him on the shoulder with the hard back book. The other boy let out a yelp, rubbing his shoulder and looking at Regulus in amusement.
“What is with you and hitting me?” He paused for a moment, then a mischievous smile appeared on his lips, oh that’s not good. “Some might say you’re… hitting on me.” He winked.
“I swear to fucking god Potter.” Regulus dropped his head into the table, hiding the letting himself smile into the wood as he felt pink flush prick the tips of his ear.
The other boy cackled, reaching a hand out and ruffling Regulus’ hair.
Regulus could feel his warm fingertips on his scalp, the way his hand seemed to fit perfectly there and the way his hand lingered next to Regulus’ face for a second too long when he picked his head up.
“I will hit you into that lake.” Regulus pointed over James’ shoulder, face like thunder and an eyebrow raise.
James, like the idiot he is, took his hand and pinched Regulus’ cheek and smiled at him. “Adorable.” He patted his cheek and smiled.
“Don’t even-“ He growled, resisting the urge to spit an insult at his stupid, annoying, beautiful face. He picked his book back up and pretended to resume reading it as he attempted to ignore the boy next to him, that second one proving to be slightly more difficult than it should be.
A few minutes later, Regulus noticed James still sitting there. Actually, he was aware of the presence a tad bit too close next to him for the past minute of two, he could still feel hazel eyes glazing their soft gaze into the side of his face.
“What’s your book about?” James asked out of the blue.
“People.” Regulus replied dully.
“Really?” The brunette replied sarcastically, Regulus looking up at him and tilting his head. “Is it also supposed to be read upside down? I’ve never seen that before.” He tutted.
Fuck.
