Utopia

James decided not to wrap Regulus’ present up, as it was already pretty on the outside. And that was what he was thinking during the short walk home. Aside from the strange bookstore. What was it's name again? Utopia? Something like that, probably.

When he got home, the brunette took his coat off silently as he could, later to investigate of any of the other lads in the living room were awake yet. When his shoes were off too, his keys layed out on the table, and the rest of the money he had took with him also, he tip-toed to the said room.

The sight he came in contact with was utterly adorable. The happy couple hadn’t changed position, still cuddling on one of the two couches, Peter hadn't moved either, but his presence had changed. He was now Wormtail, probably had transformed in his sleep, and was now curled up in a ball in a blanket. Now, Regulus had hugged a pillow, to replace James, and was now facing the rest of the boys. James focused on the Slytherin’s face.

His eyes were slid shut, his cheeks a soft, barely visible pink colour, and his mouth was just so slightly open. His eyebrows weren't furrowed together as per usual, but relaxed and seemed almost happy. Almost.

That ‘almost’ made James’ smile fall a little, but never dropping entirely. He went over to the sleeping boy and bent down, softly planting a kiss on his forehead.

Regulus stirred slightly, but only moved his head a little, still making the brunette jump back and blush furiously. James covered his mouth and closed his eyes, the blush on his cheeks growing and darkening rapidly. The raven haired boy only smiled slightly, and brought his face inwards, closer to his own chest. Hugging his pillow tighter, cuddling it closer.

James only blushed harder, giving up on the other’s adorableness, deciding to just go hide the raven’s gift with the rest of the presents. He picked up the small box and made his way towards his room. Opening the door to his room, he noticed his wand, lying on his bedside table. He knelt down, and set the small package down with the rest. He checked each of them, just to make sure they were all unharmed and still there.

Then, he picked all of them up and decided it was time to set the bags and boxes under the Christmas tree, and the only to wait until the others woke up.

He picked them all up in both his arms and lightly kicked his door open, along with the rest of the doors he had to open to get to the living room. There, all the boys were sound asleep, giving him the perfect chance to take action. Walking over, he lowered his arms, and set the things down, placing them slowly around on the small carpet, that was under the tree.

After everything was set, (and after a small amount of thinking,) he decided it would be a good idea to go back to sleep, and wait until someone else awoke to find his surprise. He slowly removed the pillow from Regulus’ arms, making the boy frown, but was quick to slid down next to the raven.

His hands found the boy’s waist, bringing him closer, and the raven's head was now resting in the crook of his neck. He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, once they had both settled down. The blush on his cheeks was now glowing. He looked down hesitantly, leaving a big kiss on the top of Regulus’ head. The Slytherin snuggled closer to his chest and also raised his head.

He opened his eyes slightly.

The grey pools of his eyes shined in the semi-dark of the room and made poor James’ heart flutter. Regulus only made it worse for the brunette, kissing his cheek and then going back to sleep, muttering a small;

“Good morning, James.” His voice was hoarse and sleep dripped off of it, somehow, —well, yeah, obviously— James was attracted to him, even more. His eyes widened and his heart went crazy. Regulus chuckled, hearing the sudden change. “Calm down, Jamsie, you’re going to have a heart attack” He said, laughing with his raspy voice, not at all helping James follow his instructions.

James shook his head. “Shut up, baby Black, it’s your fault” He said, gaining courage, and kissing the raven's head again.

Regulus laughed, and sat up. He was now sitting on top of James, his legs on the brunette’s sides. He looked down at the Griffindor with a smirk on his lips. James looked at him daringly. He raised an eyebrow and put his hands on the raven’s waist. “Oh come on! Come back down!”

He whisper-yelled, still not so eager to wake up the rest of the boys.

Regulus smiled and leant down, not to go back to cuddling with James, but to kiss him.

Their lips touched as the Slytherin closed his eyes. James was shocked, to say the least. 

He still enjoyed it as much as he'd always have. He didn't miss a beat, quickly kissing back and running his hands up Regulus’ sides, bringing them in his raven curls.The grey-eyed boy brought himself closer, his hands wrapping tightly around James’ neck. They pulled away slightly, only to look at eachother's eyes, and sigh in utter satisfaction. “Oh well, that was amazing.” Breathed James, smiling up at the boy sitting on his lap. “Merry Christmas, James.” Said Regulus, smiling brightly.

“Oh Merlin! You are shagging my brother!” Yelled Sirius, shooting up from his seat to yank his brother from his. “Hey! Let him go!” Frowned James, displeased with the loss of touch from the other boy. “Shut up Prongs!” The long haired boy hugged his brother protectively, hiding the smaller boy behind himself. At the same time, the other two boys were waking up. “What are you guys doing?” Yawned Peter, stretching his arms, while transforming back to his human form. “James is trying to seduce my brother!” Screamed Sirius, dramatically, fake, tearing up. “Hey! Don't say that, not even as a joke!” Said James, his look turning serious and stern.

Sirius rolled his eyes and pushed Regulus back at James. “I know you would never do that, Prongs. Just so you know, if you hurt my brother, I will skin you alive.” He threatened. James gulped and hugged Regulus tightly, whispering something like “You okay?” In his ear. “You're in love with him! I knew it! Peter, where are my 10 galleons?” Said Remus, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. “Damn it!” Whispered the blonde boy. James rolled his eyes. “It's Christmas, you idiots!” He yelled, causing all of the Marauders to turn to him.

Smiles broke out on their faces.

A mixture of “It’s Christmas! Woohoo!”

“What? It is?” And Sirius, “YEESSSSS! PRESENTS!” Causing all of the boys to laugh, and Regulus to smile at James and kiss him on the cheek.  All of them walked towards the glowing Christmas tree, shocked —except for James, of course, who had been acting the whole time— at the many gifts at the base of it.
