james seriously.
(unknown number): Let me prove it :)
(incoming facetime call from unknown number)
Regulus’ heart picked up, and he was already frustrated from James' obvious lie. He didn't give himself time to think before answering the call, already preparing to yell at this idiot for thinking that Regulus would fall for catfishing that easily. As he answered and watched his own face pop up, his stomach dropped.
He was a second away from pressing the red phone button when his eyes were met with a brilliantly dishevelled looking brown skinned boy, with glasses on his nose and a grin on his face. His hair looked soft and his eyes looked warm. He didn't even need to talk and Regulus knew that this was James, it had to be. He looked the same way he texted, with confidence yet warmth, always ready to make your day better.
“Oh shit.” James' smile dropped, mouth now making a slight “o” shape.
“What?” Regulus asked, feeling pissed again for no real reason other than being wrong.
“Fuck, you're hot.”
