Epic Plan Of Screw You, Plus Some Friends
James was pulled over by Sirius with a forceful tug making him fall over and landed on his bum. Remus was trying to stop Sirius from throwing arms and punches at him while Regulus stood there in pure shock.
Why would James risk his friendship with Sirius to be flirting with him? It could honestly be the worst idea Regulus have ever heard in his life.
He knew James loved bad ideas. But to kiss him in front of the whole crew, seemed a bit to far fetched. In the end, Regulus actually cared what his reputation is to other people. And since James was quite The Lost Pearl’s prince he can’t be sure if people such as servant will see this scene and quite literally think he was the one to seduce him.
After all, he was still a traitor of the death eaters, hanging on by a thread.
At last Regulus found himself in quite an awkward scenario. Mary and Marlene marched to the kitchen to grab some water and some potions to try to cure James drunkenness. Meanwhile James staring at him with heart eyes and Sirius being hold back by Remus.
"Tell me Reg, how long has this been going on for?" Sirius said fire in his eyes. He was so sure that it was Regulus who temped James.
"It’s not-" Regulus paused in pure shame as Sirius stared at him, he didn’t know what words to say to make him believe that it was all and "accident" besides who would even believe Regulus just didn’t feed him a love potion unless the person is going nuts or in other words loosing his marbles "What you think it is … James is just drunk … Leave him be-
Regulus was violently cut off by James hugging him again from behind. He rested softly at his shoulders and buried his drunken face in Regulus soft curls. Remus was about to burst out laughing but Sirius wasn’t amused at all.
"Are you kidding me? You’re telling me that this wasn’t your doing?" Sirius continued not noticing Regulus trying to hold himself together.
"Sirius-" interrupted James calmly still holding on tight Regulus’s tiny waist as if it’s the only thing holding himself together "It’s not his doing. I just really really like him. I like his curls, his laugh, his sarcasm, his smile, his sass, his-
He was cut off by a massive siren.
It was an attack alert. Everyone was running in different directions pointing and grabbing swords as the siren rang. The peaked out the window and it was the death eaters. From afar the spotted a tall, blue eyed handsome looking pirate. Tom Riddle.
James eyes lit up and he started acting normal again.
Oh Regulus was a fool, how could James get drunk so easily?
"You weren’t fucking drunk?" Regulus asked impatiently glaring and furring his eyebrows together not being able to control his anger.
"Surprise." James said, a hot annoying tone made Regulus realize he was making fun of him.
"Grab your sword, let’s go" Remus shouted at everyone.
Sirius, James, Remus and Regulus marched all the way to the top deck. Swords in hand watching every bit of caos unraveling at the second.
Cannons being loaded, Effie and Monty scouting for Riddle. Mary and Marlene ready at the back of the ship trying to lurk off any surprise attacks and Sirius was quick to fire a cannon to a boat that was trying to flank them. Meanwhile Remus was sitting tranquilly chatting with James on the map for all of his tactics he had already planned out.
Regulus sword in hand, knew that the death eaters were known to be unpredictable. So obviously he checked the bottom floor. Finding people using ropes to climb up from the bottom. He quickly warned everyone on deck by firing a firework he has (always in his pocket, just in case) and people started rushing to cut off the ropes from downstairs.
James knowing Regulus, thinks that he can handle this battle than better than anyone else.
This is gonna be fun.
The death eater released the cannons firing hard on their ship. Causing it to explode a little. But Monty had a better idea. He turned the ship making the ship face first to the death eaters an and people from up top in started dropping oils and lighting torches. Remus wanted to burn the boat. And burn it did.
The death eaters panicking James decided to rush in. He took his rope and swigged at the death eaters ship. Tugging hardly he jumped on to the main mast. Attracting most of the pirates there.
Sirius leading a bunch of men rushed in to backstab the death eaters a huge success. But Regulus noticed something odd has he stood in the upper deck. He found a little boat at the backside stuffed with bombs. He went to go checked but was shocked of what he saw.
Barty Crouch Jr. And Even Rosier straddled with bombs in a boat.
Panicking the two men recognized Regulus immediately. Motioning to the bomb extinguisher on Evans backside. And Barty quickly signaled that it could only be unlocked with dark magic.
Thank god Regulus learned something from being with the death eaters.
He pulled out his wand from his front pocket and whispered something close to a spell more like a code. And the bombs disappeared out of sight. Evan and Barty gasping for air and Regulus quickly asked them why they were there.
"It’s a trap Reggie," Barty exclaimed quickly trying to catch his breath from being tied up "They knew we are brothers to you, so they thought..
"To use us as a trap." Evan said coldly.
Regulus couldn’t think at that moment. He felt so much anger that he was biting his lip till it bled.
"Fucking hell. Anyways I’m glad you guys are here. You don’t know how bloody boring it was these days. I couldn’t even speak my mind to anyone." He said with a relief in his voice. Something about getting his trio friends back made him more exited about this new week.
"Don’t worry mate, we are here to make your life even worse than expected!" Barty whined sarcastically in which Evan responded ("he’s not used your sarcasm now isn’t he?") which Barty responded by glaring him in the worse way ever "At least you got to fuck that James Potter right?"
"Don't even. Barty."
"Ah, so it’s Barty? wasn’t it Crouch two weeks ago-
Evan hit his leg really hard in which Barty just whispered ("Ow, you bastard") in a really low voice but Regulus heard anyway.
"I hate making conversations sound decent when you two don’t take anything seriously." Regulus signed lowering his head fidgeting his fingers as if he was up to something.
Evan and Barty exchanged weirded out looks and turned back to Regulus again.
"They really did change you, eh brother" Evan proposed as if it wasn’t clear that Regulus whatever Black was more so moved by James Potter irrelevant sort of kindness.
"Look at his eyes, Barty! Full of love and kindness and hearts and-
He was cut off by Regulus rolling his eyes rather dramatically.
"I can still set off the bombs you know.."
"Okay, Reg. We will stop teasing you. We came for business actually. We heard that you escaped from the Bl- the … Blacks yes, and that you were sort of, uh hanging out with James. And becoming friends with them. So Barty, being Barty, decided to escape yes and ended up being caught. But what is the most interesting of this story is that he blamed me"
"In my defense you are a friend-
"Excuse me, nuh uh. I said we would escape together safely look where the fuck we ended up now you idiot" Evan almost tried to hit Barty in the face but ended up cowardly lowering his hand.
Regulus tutted in response.
"Can you guys please calm down? we’ve been taking for fifteen minutes and there is a full on battle going on?" Regulus blurted out.
"Ugh, fine I will explain later."
-
After an hour or so the attacks finally stoped, mainly because the death eaters ship caught on blazing flames and they could do anything about it and also Tom Riddle wasn’t even there. He had already fled to another place just so he could keep his profile down, from Barty’s word he was "In lack of courage" and a "Pussy." So yes it was a really low maintenance battle to say the least.
But Regulus was adrenaline pumped. There were something about getting "revenge" that he liked after all, Evan called it a "plotting game" where he was so anxious he wanted to do something to overcome it.
But even so he couldn’t get his mind off of James. Why did he kiss him so softly and who such delicacy even though he wasn’t even drunk?
The weird thing is, he actually grew fond of James and that freaked him out. He always knew he was queer, but he thought he would never be the person to fall for him. Develop deep feelings that linger with emotion every time he’s close with him. His presence make him feel safe and secure.
But nope he couldn’t. Regulus always thought that James flirting with him was some sort of weird joking habit he had. And maybe he did that on several people who knows.
But what was Regulus most scared of his him hallucinating that James actually put purpose in his actions and he was flirting in a serious manner. And if he found out that James, was joking than-
He couldn’t bare it. So he decided the best idea was to ignore him. Yes, the last two days progress evaporated in a second.
And Regulus found himself grow more and more closer to his best mates. But never actually telling them what happened until Evan’s being Evan noticed Regulus’s weird sort of blank stare that he does when he had cero will to live. And although it was quite common, this time was different.
It seemed like Regulus’s brain was polluted with unnecessary stress.
"Hey Reggie, are you okay. You seem a bit, er, on to something." Evan relying heavily on his close relationship with Regulus to hope he doesn’t send him to hell straight away.
"Just shut up, I don’t want to talk about it yet Evan" Regulus replied with annoyance.
Wanting to try again, Evan’s asked him again.
"If you want to, yeah, we can talk about it-
"I heard you. You shouldn’t care about this"
"Fucking fine, im sick of you Reg, pushing away everyone helping you. Me and Barty came all the way here to help you? And look at you. Pathetic. I really do care about you Reggie, but sometimes your a prick"
Wait, no.
