JAMES AND BARTY
[15:32] Barty: So how much do you value your friend Remus Lupin?
James: Usually? A lot. Right now? Could he get any closer to Regulus?
Barty: MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
Barty: I'm killing him brutally in his most peaceful sleep
James: Is it bad that I find this hot?
Barty: Come over.
James: YESSIRRR
REMUS / REGULUS
[08:23 p.m.] Remus: I dont see you?
Regulus: im outside
Remus: thought we’re quitting smoking?
Regulus: i never said im smoking
Remus: sure
anyway, come back, i cant deal with those guys without you
[08:31 p.m.] Regulus: ugh someone is throwing up outside
Regulus: but no, i think i’m going home
Remus: do you want me to pretend i don’t know why or
do you wanna talk about it?
Regulus: “talking” isn’t really me
Remus: okay batman
stay where you are, im going
The party was a mess. At this point, Remus was just mad at himself for taking part in all those dumb "to be made" memories that his friends were so pressed about. It was always messy and loud, with people being either too drunk or too sober. Neither of those categories was fun to be around. Remus probably belonged to the “too sober” ones.
He found Regulus pretty quickly. Reggie was hidden between some trees, looking rather sour. Remus felt bad for him, but at the same time, he was done with all that drama. Sometimes he felt like the only sane one. Well, maybe Peter too.
“Baby Black?” Remus asked, titling his head and crossing his hands on his arms. Regulus rolled his eyes at him, dropping the cigarette end, and he trampled it with his shoe.
“Ugh, don’t call me that. It’s fucking dumb.” Regulus said harshly. Remus closed his eyes for a moment, sensing that specific mood in Reggie. “Everything is dumb. That party too. I hate this fuckin’ city.”
“That’s a lot of improper words from you. I don’t think I even heard you cursing so much.” Remus raised his eyebrows, but Regulus pretended he didn't know what Remus was hinting at. After a lingering moment of silence, he finally gave up. “Regulus—”
“No, Remus!” Regulus turned towards him with a nasty expression that distorted his beautiful, sharp facial features. “I can’t stand it, okay? The hell is that? They hated each other, and suddenly, what? A lovely, dovely couple was born. I had to endure seeing my best friend touching my lo— someone I tolerate enough to like in all places that he shouldn’t be touched in public! On the sofa!"
Remus wasn’t sure if he would describe Barty and James as lovely and dovely, but he could quite understand what Regulus meant. And maybe he would even agree with him if it weren't for the fact that ever since they added a photo together, suddenly James was giving Remus the cold shoulder. Barty too was somehow more “clumsy” and spilled some cheap beer on Remus. Three times.
“I think they are as jealous about you as you are about them,” Remus muttered. “Or else, my shirt wouldn’t be ruined. By Barty, mind you. Three times. Three, baby Black.”
Regulus looked at him, noticing now. They were matching today: white, buttoned shirts and casual black trousers. Remus suspected that was why Barty and James were even more cut at him. But Regulus was smart. Cunning, even. And now, his baby star was smiling at him with the most sly smile Remus ever saw on him. It was even worse than when Regulus manipulated Sirius into giving him Sirius' leather jacket. Sirius’ beloved leather jacket.
“Hey, do you feel like adding another picture?”
And just like that, Remus was in trouble.

Barty is- well- pissed to say the least. This shows when he storms up to Sirius yelling: “SORT YOUR FUCKING BOYFRIEND OUT BLACK BEFORE I FUCKING MUDER HIM. AND YOUR SO CALLED PRECIOUS BABY BROTHER TOO CAUSE I SWEAR TO GOD BLACK IF THEY DONT—”
“OKAY OKAY” James. Of course he'd intervene, “Sorry Sirius, Barty come on.” and suddenly he's being dragged into a room. Who's room? James probably doesn't even know.
“Look, James-” Barty looked at him with an anger in his eyes that James had never seen before.
“No Barty- you can't just go around yelling at people like that”
“Oh yeah? And who the fuck are you to tell me that?”
“Oh I don't know, just your fucking boyfriend maybe?!”
And just like that, their voices were raising to the point where they're just about screaming at each other.
“Yeah, well, your friend is a dick!” Barty thinks this may be the first time he's properly shouted at James
“Yeah well you’re acting like a dick right now!”
“Oh shut the fuck up James!”
“Oh and who are you to tell me what to do, hm?! Since you love that saying so much!” Barty felt his blood boil. Maybe it was the alcohol, maybe it was the jealousy, or maybe Barty was actually getting mad at James for the first time since the start of their relationship.
“Oh come off it, your friends are twats!”
“Plural!? Who the fuck else do you have a problem with now?!”
“Black!”
“What the fuck why?! Because of who he's dating?! Because of who his brother is? Cause last time I checked you liked that one pretty damn well!”
“Oh fuck you Potter!”
Barty turns to walk out the door.
“Oh so you're just gonna leave?! Just like that?! I mean seriously Barty have these past couple weeks just been complete bullshit to you?!” That one felt a bit too serious for Barty's liking. He turned back around to face James. What does he mean? These past couple weeks have been some of the best in his life.
“What?”
“Oh please Barty, I mean all you do is talk about Regulus! I get it, you like him, so do I but I mean it's like you miss him or something. I mean if you do that's fine- I understand that but is it too much too act like you care about me too? I mean maybe you don't and I guess that's fine too… I just- I wish you would've told me that you don't like me, I mean if it's just physical that's fine but I thought we were more but now I don't think so, again, which is fine, but I just… I don't know anymore Barty. I just feel so… sorry. Never mind. Forget I said anything. I'll just go now. Sorry to be such a hassle.”
James goes to walk past Barty and out the door but it's shut before he gets the chance.
“Barty, please, just let me leave.”
“No. James?”
There chests are almost touching, Barty leaning against the door and James stood where he tried to leave but was cut off.
“What?”
He looks down to Barty who's looking up at him. He looks…sad?
“I'm really fucking sorry if I made you feel like that. Look I-”
Barty sighs in frustration
“Look B, you don't have to-”
“No, stop. Clearly I've not been a very good boyfriend, and well frankly I never have been. I never cared enough to be. But I really like you James. And I would not be admitting that to you if you didn't look like a kicked puppy right now. I hate that I caused that and I hate how much I care about you- but I do. A lot. And I don't want to wreck that. I really don't. Unfortunately, I love being your boyfriend James. You're just gonna have to get used to me being a little crazy sometimes. I mean- I punched some random bloke earlier cause I was pissed at Regulus. I know that's not fair but I don't want you to think that I don't lo- like you. Cause I do. I really do and I know I'm not good at showing it, but I do. A lot.”
By the end, both boys are smiling at each other.
“Thank you Barty”
“Of course. Cherish it. It's not happening again.”
James just laughs at his boyfriend and leans down to kiss him.
“Wanna go see what Remus and Reg are up to?”
“Oh please- like you even have to ask”
Barty smirks and opens the door, walking out with a much more reassured James following closely behind.
EVAN / REGULUS
