"Make a wish!" Sirius yelled happily, holding up his phone to video. Regulus blew out the candles on his cake and sat back, watching his idiot brother and his friends riot around the dining room. "What'd you wish for, Regulus?"
"I wished for a singular silent moment with you guys." Regulus rolled his eyes and joked. He looked around at all of his older friends and felt a sense of home with them.
"Mordida! Mordida!" Remus shouted, running behind Regulus and pushing his head to smash it into the cake.
Regulus screamed and pushed backwards, falling back in the chair and tumbling with Remus to the floor.
Sirius panned the camera down to the two and laughed. If you looked at the video there wouldn't even be a single frame with the two because Sirius was shaking with laughter.
Peter picked Remus up and pulled him in for a smooch. Remus laughed and Peter kissed his cheek sloppily.
James sat on the kitchen counter, watching. It was a small get together and he was glad. He loved seeing the smile on Regulus's face, the way his eyes lit up every time the boys did something stupid.
He watched the boys cut the cake and happily took a plate. It was a cake with the sun and the stars, a joke by Remus and Peter, because Regulus called James his sun and James called Regulus his star.
Sirius despised it and didn't even so much as look in the direction of the cake. Instead he resorted to eating some food James’ mom made.
Regulus went around the room demanding presents from the group. James watched it all go down. Sirius gave Regulus a slap and a hug, then he pulled out a small box that had a necklace in it. Peter pulled out a beanie from his pocket and placed it sloppily on Regulus's head. Peter hugged Regulus and clung on, dragging himself behind Regulus to see Remus.
Remus gave him a pat on the shoulder and looked back down at his food. He would look up every few seconds and feed Regulus a singular piece of rice each time. James couldn't help but laugh at this. He knew this would be a chaotic night but he didn't think it'd be quite this funny.
Regulus seemed to snap out of it and looked in James' direction. The beanie fell off as he did so. His eyes lit up like he forgot James was there. Regulus pushed Peter off his back and made his way to James. Peter took Regulus's position and got fed rice.
Regulus stepped up to James and looked up at him. He was sitting on the counter so he was significantly taller than normal.
"Having a good birthday?" James asked, smiling down at Regulus. Regulus let his head fall into James' chest and he nodded.
"Tired." Was all Regulus said and James reached a hand up to rest on Regulus's hair. His hair was soft and smelled like James' shampoo. Heloved it.
"We can tell these idiots to leave so we can take a nap?" James asked, meeting Regulus's eyes now that he was looking up slightly. Regulus chuckled and nodded his head. James pushed him away softly and hopped off the counter, still towering over Regulus but by much less.
"Alright, I think it's time I clean up. I know you guys wanted to drink but you can do that in the guest house, we don't need any broken furniture." James rambled as he started cleaning up trash. Regulus nodded and pulled out tupperware for the leftovers. The trio groaned and gathered up their belongings.
"Fine. Just say you're gonna fuck and get it over with." Remus jokes, to which Peter giggled but Sirius hated the image.
"It's no jizz June, they can't." Peter nudged Remus in the side and they had a laughing fit together. Sirius looked mortified.
"Alright, that's enough. Get going." James sighed. The boys did as told and exited the house with their alcohol.
"Thank you." Regulus sighed gratefully. He was having a good birthday, he just didn't want to be around when his friends were drunk and/or high. It was funny, sure, but definitely not what he preferred.
James and Regulus finished cleaning and found James' room. Regulus sat on the edge of the bed while James sat at the head of the bed, back leaning against the headboard.
"You can scoot up, y'know? I won't force you to sleep in here but I think it'd be nice." James said, playing with the fraying edges of his blanket.
Regulus smiled at James and crawled his way to sit next to James. He didn't leave any space between the two, their shoulders and elbows and hips and thighs were touching. It made James's skin crawl.
They both opened their mouths to say something but looking at the other made them stop. It was an odd moment, but in that moment Regulus could see every emotion scrambling through James' head.
There was want, love, care, happiness, and need. Regulus shivered and looked away. He turned around and laid on his side, his back facing James. James laid down too, spooning Regulus from behind.
Regulus shifted to get comfortable in James' arms and found himself situated perfectly on James' crotch. It was comfortable, so he didn't mind.
"I'm glad you had a good birthday." James whispered into Regulus' ear. It made Regulus stiffen as a jolt went through his body. At the same time, James' hand placed itself on Regulus's waist. It fit perfectly.
Regulus hummed in agreement and subconsciously moved backwards into James's grip. James noticed and wrapped his whole arm around Regulus. Regulus felt shivers run down his spine and his breath caught.
James thought of it as a sleepy breath and thought nothing of it. He didn't think anything of anything unless he was specifically told to, that was just how he was.
"Is there anything I can do to make it better?" The breath fanning over Regulus' ear and the softness of his voice did everything to him. He closed his eyes tight and let out a shaky breath. He could feel his boxers getting tighter around his hips.
"James." It came out breathless and almost like a beg. James finally realized what he was doing. He sat still and he could feel the soft shake of Regulus's body against his. The way his body stiffened at the softest sound or movement.
James didn't stop.
"Regulus." He said it like a moan and it had the effect he was going for. Regulus whined slightly and squeezed his legs shut. It made James's jeans get tighter.
James' hand trailed down Regulus' body, grazing soft shapes into his skin from above the shirt he wore. It was amazing to James. It was amazing to Regulus, too.
When James got to Regulus' crotch, he stopped. He didn't want to go too far without Regulus' permission. Regulus' hand moved from its spot gripping the blanket to move James' hand down more. James smirked and let out a soft hum. He felt Regulus' cock jump in his hand.
"Mm.. so hard," James groaned, "just for me? How thoughtful." He stroked Regulus' cock slowly, listening intently to the soft whimpers let out by Regulus. Regulus couldn't have felt any better than he did now, wrapped up in James’ arms on one of the best days of his life.
James' hand was rough against the fabric of Regulus' sweatpants. It was miserable to only be touched through the fabric, so Regulus took it a step further.
"Go under," he whined. He sounded pathetic.
"Mm, Reg is getting bold? You want to feel my hand on your dick, Regulus?" James teased him, running a singular finger over the skin above Regulus' waistband and slipping it under.
Regulus let out a moan and bit his lip. James took his other hand and put two fingers in Regulus' mouth, forcing it to stay open. Regulus moaned again and bucked his hips.
"How pathetic. You want me to get you off but you won't even let me hear you. I love hearing your noises, Regulus. They remind me where you are. You're here, under my hand for me to play with." James' voice rumbled in Regulus' ear and Regulus felt his drool drip down James's fingers.
"Do you want me to touch you?" He asked. Regulus nodded hastily. "Say it."
"Yes. Yes, please!" Regulus begged. It was slightly muffled by James' fingers in his mouth. James smirked.
"Where." James commanded. His voice was like honey to Regulus' ears.
"My- ah~!" Regulus didn't get to finish, an overwhelming wave of pleasure rushing over him. James's hand was under his boxers, suddenly stroking him fast. "Oh, fuck!"
"Lovely noises. Just for me. Noises made because of me." James groaned into Regulus' ear. He ground his boner against Regulus' ass and let out a shaky breath. He wanted to feel something, too, but it wasn't the right time. He would make Regulus do it another time. It was his birthday, after all
"How long have you dreamt of this? Having my hand down your pants. Did you dream of me in France? In the shower, wishing it was me. With a woman, begging for it to be a man. You've always wanted me to fuck you, haven't you?" James sent shivers down Regulus' body. Regulus nodded desperately as he bucked his hips into James' hands frantically.
James stopped stroking Regulus' cock and instead gripped his hip roughly. He kept it still and made indents with his fingers. He'd love looking at the bruises later.
"Don't move. Or I'll make this longer for you." James thrust his hips against Regulus' ass, making his hard cock known. Regulus whined but nodded. James smirked.
He grabbed Regulus' dick and started pumping again. Regulus was a mess against his hands and James knew he was getting close.
"Don't cum until I say." James commanded. Regulus whimpered James took his hands from Regulus' mouth and moved them down to Regulus' throat. He pressed down softly and watched as Regulus' eyes rolled back in his head. His moans were like music to James's ears. He sounded beautiful.
James tilted Regulus' head back and hovered his lips above his for a moment, watching as Regulus tried to lean up to reach him. Regulus opened his eyes and looked James angrily in the eyes.
"Mm, so desperate for me." James tightened his grip on Regulus' neck. Regulus gasped and threw his head back. "God, I love this face. I need to see it more often."
James kissed down Regulus' neck and placed a hickey just below his collarbone.
"I need to cum!" Regulus moaned. His face was red and sweaty and James couldn't help but admire him.
"No." James said, stroking Regulus' cock harder and faster.
Regulus moaned louder than before and curled in on himself, placing a hand on James' wrist. He gripped the limb, leaving crescent marks with his nails.
"Please!" Regulus begged. "I need to, please, James! I feel like I'm about to explode!" Regulus bucked his hips and-... everything went quiet.
James drew his hand away from Regulus' cock and they were both silent. James because he was satisfied at winning the game he was playing in his head and Regulus because he was scared of the consequences. He half wanted James to punish him physically and half wanted to be edged more. It felt good.
"Uh oh, Reggie. What was that?" James hummed darkly. Regulus whimpered and covered his hands with his face.
"That's five more minutes." James said in a low voice, right against Regulus' ear. Regulus' eyes shot open and he looked James in the eyes. He saw James' darkened eyes and his eye contact faltered. He looked down at James's lips instead.
"No kissing." James said. Instead he gave Regulus another hickey, this time below the ear. Regulus wrapped an arm around James' neck. Regulus turned so he was facing James.
James reached back into Regulus' pants and started stroking again. Regulus was shaking with how still James was making him keep.
Precum was leaking out of his tip and he couldn't help but moan everytime James moved his thumb over it and slicked it down his cock.
Regulus was starting to get desperate and he was mumbling pleads and begs under his breath. His eyes were clouded over with lust and he couldn't imagine feeling any better than now, besides the pain of being forced to hold back his cum.
"You shouldn't have moved, Regulus. Now you have to face the consequences." James purred. He started going faster.. then slower, then faster and repeated it over and over again. Regulus couldn't help the strangled sounds that escaped him. He was in pure ecstasy.
It hadn't been five minutes, probably about three, but James couldn't wait to see the expression on Regulus' face. "Cum." Was all he said.
Regulus immediately reacted. Strings of hot, white cum came from out of him as he moaned louder than before. His body arched and his face dug into the pillow under his head. James used his free hand to move his face back to make eye contact with him.
They locked eyes as Regulus rode out his orgasm. The cum soiled the inside of Regulus' boxers and Jamess hand. It was all over the place when James pulled his hand out.
"God, what a mess you made." James tsked.
After cleaning Regulus up, James wasn't as desperate for pleasure anymore and decided to let Regulus rest. He'd have to make it up to him another day.
"Happy birthday." James said and kissed Regulus' temple.
