Party Aftermath
Regulus ended up spending the night at his brothers place because of how late they got back. He slept in Sirius’ guest bedroom with an incredibly comfortable bed, a perk of your brother being a famous singer, before being rudely awaken by a slamming door.
“Oops…” Sirius said standing by a now closed door, “did I wake you?” He fauxed innocence.
“What do you want.”
“How dare you! I just wanted to say good morning to my dear brother I-“
“Give me your phone. I’ll put in his number.”
Sirius smiled and ran over to where Regulus was in bed, handing him his phone.
“Don’t be weird about this.”
“Me? Weird? I just want to get to know my brother’s best friend more! Is that a crime?”
“Right…”
Sirius took the phone back and cradled it in his arms.
“Aren’t you hungover?”
“Extremely!” Sirius said smiling at his phone.
“You’re so weird,” Regulus mumbled before getting out of bed and opening his own phone.
Sirius’ phone started beeping.
“Don’t tell me you’ve texted him already?”
“No, It’s Prongs. He met someone at the party last night after he abandoned me.”
“The nerve.” Regulus replied, trying to subtly remind Sirius that he was abandoned by him.
“I know right!" Sirius laughed, "Prongsie's proper love struck."
Regulus rolled his eyes, at the statement and the name. What kind of a nickname is Prongs anyway? Regulus could barely remember his brother's friend's real name. Not that he cared, falling in love after meeting someone once? That's embarrassing. He would never.
James: MATE
Sirius: ????
James: I’ve met the one
Sirius: I thought I was the only one for you:((
James: You know you’ll always be my number one!
Sirius: :)
James: Unless of course this works out… then I’ll absolutely be kicking you to the curve <3
Sirius: :0
James: But seriously Pads I think I’m in love
He’s so pretty
And smart
And funny
And mean
Sirius: Mean?? Mate you’re into some weird stuff
James: At least I'm not in love with my brother's best friend!!
Sirius: Hey!
James: No hate! I mean Moony seems like a nice guy
Sirius: I got his number…
James: HOW
Sirius: I have my ways ;)
James: You bribe Regulus?
Sirius: In a way
James: Send him my condolences
Sirius: Should've given them last night
James: He was at the party?
Sirius: You didn’t see him?
James: How would I? we’ve never met
Sirius: HOW HAVE MY BROTHERS NOT MET
James: We'll have to set something up then and have a family reunion
***Meanwhile on Regulus’ phone
Remus: How was it?
Regulus: I never want to leave the house again.
Remus: That bad?
Regulus: Well, it wasn’t all bad…
Remus: Oh?
Regulus: There was this one guy…
Remus: OH?
Regulus: Shut up.
Remus: Reggie’s in love?
Regulus: I hate you.
Remus: No you don’t.
Regulus: … Also, I gave Sirius your number.
Remus: WHAT
Regulus: Got to go! Bye!
Remus: REGULUS!!!!
Regulus left Sirius’ house after a shower and some tea. He took a cab back to his and Remus’ apartment. When he opened the door he was greeted with the tall man pacing.
“What’s happening right now?”
“YOU!” Remus accused, turning to him.
“What did I do?”
“Why would you give him my number!?”
“Because you’re both so obviously in love with each other…” Regulus said as he put his bag down.
“You’re crazy. Sirius is literally famous! And I'm just... a guy who’s allergic to everything.”
Regulus laughed, “Did he say something weird?”
“Yes,” Remus turned his phone to Regulus.
Sirius: Hey:)
Regulus looked unimpressed.
“Do you see the smiley face?!”
“Yeah you’re on your own, I need to finish my homework.” Regulus walked away to his bedroom.
Remus threw himself on the couch as he got another text.
Sirius: It’s Sirius btw
After another minute Sirius texted again.
Sirius: I’m Regulus’ brother
Remus: I know who you are Sirius, we’ve known each other for years.
Sirius: Right!
Well hi!
Uh
What’s up?
Remus: I’m just at my place.
Sirius: That’s cool
Me too
Well not at your place
I’m at my place
Remus: I understood don’t worry.
Sirius: Sorry I'm being weird I’m proper hungover right now
Remus: No problem. How was the party?
Sirius: Fun! You should definitely come next time
I mean only if you want to
Remus: Yeah, I’d like that.
Not much of a partier though.
Sirius: That’s ok! We can do something else
Remus: We?
Sirius: If you want to
Remus: What do you have in mind?
Sirius: I could think of a few things ;)
Remus: Oh yeah?
I think you’ll have to be more specific.
Regulus’ homework was interrupted by the sound of his best friend chuckling lightly.
“Remus! Stop flirting with my brother!” Ew, not while he's home.
"No promises!"
***
Regulus had a pretty calm rest of his day, briefly telling Remus about James while they ate dinner.
"He sounds sweet," Remus said, using his chopsticks to shovel more noodles into his mouth.
"Yeah," Regulus started, "But I'll probably never see him again."
"Maybe ask Sirius about him? He could know him."
"Sirius' only friend is some git called 'Prongs' who sounds like a complete arsehole."
Remus laughed, "Tough break."
"Yeah I'll-" Regulus' phone dinged, "Speak of the devil."
Sirius: Dinner tomorrow night- you me and Prongs
...And Remus
"What'd he say?" Remus asked trying to seem indifferent.
"He said he wants you to bend him over and-"
"What?!" Remus cut him off, trying to reach for Regulus' phone, "No he didn't!"
Regulus' laughed and kept his phone out of reach, "He said you're so hot~"
"Regulus, give me that phone!" Remus said chasing his best friend out of the kitchen.
