Summary
This is not what he wants. Regulus Black's relationship with James Potter is getting gradually harder for him to handle. He might be the perfect guy, but not for him. While Regulus tries to find a way not to hurt James with his continuous lies, he discovers that his ex-boyfriend — and the person who can't get out of his head — has returned to the city and he's determined to not leave before getting him back. Now, he has to control his feelings for Barty and try to leave James without hurting anyone.
Note
OK SO. this was meant to be a little oneshot but I just kept writing and writing and for the sake of everyone, I've decided to make it a short fanfic. I still don't know how many chapters there will be, but it's definitely less than 10. Also, please read the notes at the end, it has an important statement about the characterisation of one of the characters.ALSO: a big big BIG thank you to chris for helping me with this and giving me ideas. this fanfic would literally be NOTHING without your support that keeps me motivated to finish this <333
