hmmm fine
but im leaving reg and evan a note
bc im a great bf
i don't doubt that
anyways hurry up i don't wanna be seen near slytherin common room too long they'll think im doing a prank
yeah yeah im on my way
By the time Barty made it out of the slytherin common room, James was already there with one hand in his pocket and the other scrolling on his phone. He didn't notice Barty even coming into his line of sight until he was right infront of him.
And he was fit. So bloody fit Barty wonders why and how he didn't notice him before. And how he just completely ignored him for 6 years of his life.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer." James says abruptly, smirking.
"Of course you'd be the type to say that. Now please hurry up, I don't want to be rude to you."
James' face breaks out into a grin then and he bows before lifting up, holding out his hand. "Then I shall escort you down, your majesty."
Barty cant even stop himself from laughing and grabbing his hand.
"Piss off, Jay. I'm not a Lord or whatever the fuck." James had started walking and they were both going through the large castle that is Hogwarts.
"Isn't Regulus a lord?"
"Hmmm technically I think."
"Omg. Doesn't that make you a technical Lord then?"
"Oh for fucks sake! No. Absolutely not I am not a Lord."
"Ehhh aren't you?"
"Ugh shove off. I've been with you 5 minutes and I'm already about to shove you into the Black Lake."
"It is Winter, Crouch! You can't do that!"
"Well I can. It wouldn't be that hard."
"But you won't." James is swaying their entwined hands together.
"Yeah yeah if that's what helps you sleep at night."
"Alright, grumpy, we're almost there."
They were on the field before Barty even knew and all of a sudden Hagrids Hut was rapidly approaching. Barty squinted wondering why the fuck James was taking him so far away and towards the forbidden fucking forest.
"Potter where are you taking me?"
"Just past the clearance of the forest. Don't worry about it, I go here all the time."
"Why would you go here all the time?"
"Reasons."
"Ugh. These sticks are a fall hazard."
"Okay you're acting like a Lord now, it's nice I promise."
They reached a little lake not far in and James tugged him down, grabbing a pouch of tobacco, filters and rizla out of his bag and starting to roll.
"You can roll? You don't seem the type."
"I like it, especially rolling a lot at a time it's quite mind numbing."
"Mhm. I can never concentrate enough and my fingers just don't want to help me out."
James snorted and Barty hit him lightly on the arm, laughing lightly. Of course James would find that funny. He seemed the type to see 69 and laugh.
James held out a cigarette. "There, now you can stop being a grumpy guts."
Barty took it with a roll of his eyes and lit it with a snap of his fingers, happy with the audible gasp he got in return.
"What the fuck? How do you do that? Barty that's really advanced what the fuck?"
"Just one of my many talents."
"Do mine, do mine."
Barty laughed and clicked his finger, James' cigarette lighting up in an instant. "Jesus christ you must know how you sound."
"Yeah yeah, thanks."
"Don't worry about it, thanks for rolling it would've been a disaster if I did."
"Mhm anytime."
It was quite cold and a little bit frosted but Barty didn't seem to mind. He was focused on the shimmer of the lake and James' nice lips and James' exhale that made him look really hot. Really hot. Extremely hot. How was someone this attractive this early in the morning? He would've barely spoke to anyone usually but now he's admiring James Potter of all people. What has the world come to?
"Stop staring, Barty, you've forgotten to ash it. Oh for merlins sake."
James leant over, snatched it out of his hands, ashed it, took his own drag and then gave it back.
"What the fuck. James you cant just take my fag?"
"I can and I just did."
"Well that's- that's rude."
James chuckled and took a drag of his own cigarette. "Great comeback, darling."
"Oh fuck off, its just early."
"Yeah yeah whatever you say."
"Anyways, arent I supposed to be the clingy, flirty one?"
"No, what gave you that idea?"
"I was the one who started flirting! Im the initiator, Jay!"
James tutted. "That does not mean anything?"
"Aghhh! That's it I am throwing you in this lake." Barty said standing up.
"No no no no don't throw me in! Please Barty I dont know how to do a drying charm!" James said inching backwards towards the tree.
"Admit Im the flirty one then." Barty said, standing over him.
"Fine! Fine you're the flirty one please don't throw me in."
"Pussy." Barty said sitting himself down between James' legs and leaning backwards to rest on his chest.
"Be nice to me." James said, wrapping an arm around his waist, his hand easily finding Bartys.
"Hmmm no."
