Footsteps…
Pov. Regulus
Regulus quickly turned around. He had definitely heard something. It sounded like footsteps. Like someone was walking away. He was absolutely sure, it was quiet out here. The only thing you could hear was James who was quietly crying and the sound of the night. But there were footsteps. They sounded like they were moving away from them.
That was bad. If someone had saw them together it would spread around the whole school and by tomorrow afternoon everyone would know that James Potter was dating Regulus Black.
“Reg, what’s wrong?” James said and turned around too trying to spot whatever regulus was looking at.
“I heard footsteps.” Regulus answered. He got up to see if the person was still there but he could only see complete dark.
“I didn’t hear anything. Is someone there?” James had gotten up too now and looked into the same direction as regulus.
“But I did. I swear I did. If someone catches us…”
“Reggie you know, we are both very tired. And especially you are going through a lot right now.” James said softly, trying to get regulus to sit down again.
“Are you saying that I’m hallucinating?” Regulus laughed quietly.
It was hilarious. James really thought that he was going insane.
“No I’m saying that you’re going through a lot. That’s completely different.”
“You think I’m hearing things.” Regulus said. He knew that he was already getting aggressive over nothing but he was just so angry on his life. He couldn’t help it.
“ I don’t. You know what let’s just stop. We have better things to worry about. Let’s go to our dorms and tomorrow we meet here again.” James said. Regulus could see that he wanted to avoid a fight with all he had. He understood it, he wouldn’t make a day if James were mad at him. But he would never tell him that.
His anger fainted as he looked at James. He was so worried about him. It pained regulus to see James like that because he had problems. James shouldn’t even know about his problems but here they were.
Regulus signed:” Yes you’re right, I’m sorry my love.”
James smile immediately came back.
“My love? You never call me that you should do this more often.”
“Absolutely not!” Regulus quickly said.
He took James hand before he could answer and pulled him with him as he went inside.
They didn’t spoke as they walked to their dorm but it was still nice to hold James hand.
When they had to separate James pulled regulus in for a kiss. It was a soft one, a nice one. Really short but regulus would still be able to feel it for many hours.
James slowly let go of his hand and smiled. James had such a beautiful smile, regulus could look at that for hours and days. It made him forget everything, all the pain.
Regulus smiled back.
Then they both went their ways.
