sirius black

[ Accept ] [ Decline ]

“Hi?”

“Hi. I just wanted to call and make sure you’re doing okay. It’s been a couple days.”

“I know. I’m sorry. I’ve been pretty busy recently.”

“It’s alright, I get it.”

“…”

…”

“So?”

“I’m sorry for how I acted at the pub. You know better than anyone else that I’m…”

“Impulsive? Dim? You don’t think before you speak”

“Christ, I forgot how abrupt you are.”

“It’s my best quality.”

“Haha, very funny. But, I mean, you’re right. All of those things are correct about me. I was just so shocked that you were the person James has been talking about like you…fuck, like you pulled the bloody moon from the sky and gave it to him.”

“Aw, he likes me that much?”

“Shut up, you idiot. You don’t have to forgive me for acting how I did. I should have heard you and James out before I lost my temper, and I’m sorry.”

“…I’m not mad at you, Sirius. Your reaction wasn’t the best, it definitely made me freak out more than I already had been, but I’m not mad at you. I’m not mad at anyone.”

“I’m still sorry.”

“I know, Siri. It’s fine, alright?”

“…alright.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“I’m not a fan of my best friend dating my baby brother.”

“God, Sirius, when you say it like that it makes the whole situation sound like an episode of a Disney Channel show.”

“It’s like that one episode of Victorious, Regulus! I feel betrayed!”

“You did not just make a Victorious reference. Best Friend’s Brother? Really?”

“You act like that song doesn’t perfectly describe the situation.”

“…I’m not saying it doesn’t. How much money would I have to pay James to sing that at a party?”

“You wouldn’t have to pay him anything, he’d do it for free, but you’d have to pay me at least £1,000,000 to sit through it.”

Too expensive for what you’re worth.”

“I’m going to pretend like you didn’t say that, and I’m going to hang up the phone now. I’m sorry again, please don’t make James sing Victorious to me, I love you, bye.”

“Later, Sirius.”

“Dorcas, does Pete have any availability?”

“Uh, let me check.”

“…”

“…he has availability next Thursday at 11, why?”

“My idiot brother wants to get matching tattoos with James and his boyfriend, Remus. They want a black dog, a crescent moon, and a stag. I’d say pretty small, probably less than palm sized.”

“Yeah, he should have room to do that. I’ll put them down and let him know.”

“Nice, thank you Cas.”

“Course, Reg. Also, once you’re done with the mural at Flourish and Blotts, could you do one for the shop?”

“Oh, yeah, I should have time.”

“Sick, wanna stop by soon to talk rates?”

“You’re my friend, Cas, I’m not gonna charge you.”

“Shut the fuck up, Regulus, I want to support you in everything you do. I’m going to pay you whether you like it or not.”

“…fine.”

“Good. I have an appointment coming in, talk to you later. Bye Reg.”

“Hiiiiiiii my looove…hey, Remus, stop- HEY! GIVE ME MY PHONE BACK!”

“James, sit back down. Jesus Christ."

"...what the hell is happening?"

"Okay, Hi. I'm sorry. This is Remus, from James’ phone.”

“Hello Remus. Why was James calling me at…fuck, 2 in the morning?”

“He’s over at our flat right now, we invited him over to play some video games, he got drunk and wanted to call you, but he’s in one of those moods where he gets all sappy and emotional when he’s drunk. I thought I’d spare you the trouble.”

“Haha, thank you, I’m too tired to deal with sappy James Potter.”

“You’re welcome. Sorry for waking you up.”

“Ah, s’alright. Have fun, tell James I say hi.”

“Will do. Goodnight, Reg.”

“Night, Remus.”

Regulus didn’t drive often.

It’s not that he didn’t enjoy it; well, he could tolerate it, but he didn’t love it. It’s just that he preferred to walk, or take the bus, or the train wherever he went. Call it being eco-friendly, call it being afraid. He just didn’t see the point in driving a car, or even owning one.

He did, however, have an incredibly rich, currently dead uncle who left both him and Sirius a few motorbikes from his personal collection when he passed.

Their Uncle Alphard had a collection of motorbikes; most of which ended up going to Sirius. Regulus, however, had been gifted three- a cherry red Honda CB750, a dark blue Harley-Davidson Softail, and the one he currently had parked in the car park for his flat, a black Harley-Davidson Sportster.

He was only 17 when they had been gifted to him. Andromeda had allowed him to keep one of them at her home until he turned 18, but Walburga had taken the rest and pawned them off to the first person who would buy them. She claimed it was unladylike for the Heiress to the Black Throne to even own a motorcycle, let alone be caught dead operating one. But when he turned 18, the first thing he did after he ran away was get on the quickest train to Cambridge to Andromeda’s house, where he picked up the motorcycle and rode it to Pandora’s place.

Regulus didn’t use it often, though. Mostly when he couldn’t make the bus or the train, wherever he was going was too far to walk, or Pandora couldn’t give him a ride. James’ flat wasn’t too far away, it was about an hour long walk, but he knew he wouldn’t want to walk all the way back late at night. So at 11:45, he stuck his helmet on his head, and took off on his motorbike for James’ apartment. 

The drive was much shorter than the walk would have been; he made it there in about 30 minutes. He stopped in front of the building, checking his phone and seeing it was only 12:19.

He opened his chat with James.


[12:20] hey where should i park

[12:20] oh there’s a parking garage by the entrance, just park in one of the visitor spots

[12:20] sick

[12:28] hi i’m at ur front door

[12:29] FUCK

give me a second


A loud crash came from somewhere in James’ flat, which made Regulus look up from his phone curiously. His helmet was tucked securely under one arm, rings clicking loudly in the quiet hallway as he anxiously tapped his hand against it. A few moments of silence, followed quickly by footsteps later, James’ front door flew open. He smiled brightly, adjusting his glasses on his nose and letting out a breath.

“Hi,” James said. “Come in!”

Regulus smiled back, walking into James’ apartment. “Where can I set this?” He asked, motioning to his helmet. James looked down at the helmet, brow furrowing in confusion. “Didn’t you drive here?” He asked.

“I rode my motorcycle,” Regulus said. “I don’t…I don’t ride it often.”

“You ride a motorcycle?” James asked. “Holy fuck, you really are Sirius’ brother.”

Regulus rolled his eyes. “I hate you,” He said teasingly.

James laughed. “You can set it down by the door. I was gonna cook, but I realized I need to get groceries, so I decided we could order something instead. Unless you want to cook something together, that is.” James said, smiling as Regulus set his helmet down carefully.

Regulus chewed on his bottom lip, shrugging his jacket off. “Whatever you want to do. I’m not picky,” He said, laying his jacket on the back of the couch. “Like, I’d probably be fine with eating chips and nothing else.”

A laugh left James’ lips, a sound Regulus would never get tired of hearing. He smiled warmly, following James into the kitchen. “Absolutely not. Whenever I invited friends over, my mum always had a meal ready for them. We’ll order takeout, since I don’t want to waste gas on going to the store.” He said, pulling out his phone.

They ordered Chinese food from a local restaurant down the road before they settled down on James’ couch. James threw a blanket over the two of them, giving Regulus the softest smile he thought he’d ever see.

His heart ached.

“So,” James said. “Where do we start?”

Regulus looked down at his hands, fiddling with one of the many rings he had on his fingers. “Uh,” He said. “What do you want to know?”

[ TW: TRANSPHOBIA, TALKS OF ABUSE. SKIP TO THE NEXT BOLD TEXT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ ]

James was silent for a few moments. “Pandora mentioned an ex last time we talked.”

“Ah,” Regulus said, nodding. “Yeah. He wasn’t great.”

“So I’ve heard.” James said, letting out a humorless laugh.

Regulus sighed. “We started dating when I was…15, I believe. I was about to be pulled out of Hogwarts to be homeschooled because of Sirius running away. We started dating about a month before that. Everything was great in the beginning; even when I wasn’t at the same school as him, we were happy. Then I realized I was trans, and I gave myself that awful haircut I told you about. He didn’t like that; said he wanted a girlfriend, not a boyfriend. I was forced to be a girl, and once I turned 18 and finally decided I was going to leave our parent’s house permanently, he broke up with me because I wanted to transition. Said he wouldn’t be caught dead dating a…well, a tranny was what he said.” Regulus said, grimacing. “He kind of fucked me up, to say the least.”

A beat of silence passed before James let out a heavy sigh. “What the fuck is wrong with him?” James asked angrily. “How…how can anyone even think like that?”

Regulus shrugged. “I have no idea. His parents were the same way, especially his dad. Doesn’t excuse anything he said, but it does explain it. But my parents were- well, they’re still horribly transphobic and homophobic, and here I am, living a life that stands for everything they hate.” He said, chuckling. James gave him a weak smile. “Suppose they can’t handle having two sons who like cock.”

That got a dry laugh out of James, whose eyebrows were still knitted together in frustration.

“Still, I just can’t believe anyone would treat another human being like that. Let alone someone as great as you,” James said quietly, reaching out and carefully grabbing Regulus’ hand. He flushed at the touch, looking down at their hands.

“It’s whatever,” Regulus said. “It’s in the past now. I’m…I wouldn’t say I’m healing, but I’m getting better. Less terrified of romance.” Regulus paused, before squeezing James’ hand softly.

“Am I helping?” James asked.

Regulus nodded. “Yeah.”

James smiled slightly. “I’m glad. Y’know…Sirius hasn’t told me everything from his childhood, but he’s told me a lot. Were you…were you okay after he left?”

Regulus chewed on his bottom lip. “Truthfully, the aftermath of him leaving was the worst I’d experienced from them. When Sirius was around, they’d sort of…forget I existed. Sirius was the heir, the first born son. They cared more about him then they ever cared about me. But then he left, and suddenly I was the next in line for the fortune, so if I didn't act accordingly, I was...adjusted. Steered in the right direction was what they'd call it, especially after I cut my hair and tried to come out. Hell, they even tried setting up an arranged marriage for me at one point.”

“Really?” James asked curiously. “I thought that only happened in like…the 1400s.”

Regulus snorted, shaking his head. “Well, they wanted to keep the bloodline pure. Lots of inbreeding happening. Sirius is my brother, but he’s technically also my…third cousin, I believe.”

“Holy fuck,” James said through a laugh. “Like, actually? Oh my god, your parents are cousins?”

“Yes, but I already regret telling you that,” Regulus said, laughing along with James. “But they were like…huge blood purists. It was gross. Though, the first person they tried to arrange marriage with wasn’t related to me, I think. He was a real shithead, truthfully.”

James nodded. “How was he a shithead?” He asked.

“Oh god, where do I start?” Regulus said. “He’s…god, he’s just awful. This guy was like Thanos collecting the Infinity Stones, but instead of it being cool stones, it’s just different kinds of bigotry. Homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, everything.”

“Ew,” James’ face screwed up in disgust.

“I know,” Regulus said dramatically. “He wanted to get in with my family because of how much power and money they had. So his family sucked up to them, convinced my mum that their son would be a good match for me. Then Sirius ran away, they pulled me out of Hogwarts, and I had already started dating my ex. So they were shit out of luck, I suppose.” He said, chuckling dryly.

James was silent for a few moments. “I’m sure you’re sick of hearing this, but you really didn’t deserve any of that. You’re just…god, you’re great. I don’t understand how a normal human could treat anyone, let alone you and Sirius, so horribly. I’m sorry you ever had to go through that.”

[ WELCOME BACK! THE REST OF THE STORY IS SAFE FROM HERE :) ]

A few minutes of silence passed, filled mostly with the sound of James’ thumb rubbing softly against Regulus’ palm. In the back of his mind, Regulus couldn’t stop playing the words Sirius had said at the pub.

Prongs, you’re in love with my fucking brother?! You said you might be!

Was Sirius telling the truth? If he was, would Regulus be okay with it? He didn’t know.

It wasn’t like he hadn’t felt love before. Pandora and Dorcas proved that they loved him every day, Sirius loved him, Alphard and Andromeda both loved him. Hell, even Barty might have loved him at one point; well, Barty loved who he wanted Regulus to be, not Regulus. Even Evan, who he regrettably hadn’t spoken to in months might have loved him.

But why was it so different with James? Why was he confused by everything James did? Did James flirt with everyone, or was he a special case?

He had no idea. It made his head hurt to think about.

He was pulled out of his thoughts by a knock on James’ front door, presumably their food. James quickly stood up, taking their food and bringing it into his kitchen. They both grabbed their meals before sitting down at James’ kitchen table, digging into their food.

“So a motorcycle, huh?” James asked.

Regulus rolled his eyes playfully. “Yeah,” He said, sticking a piece of orange chicken in his mouth. “My uncle Alphard left three to me when he died. The rest went to Sirius, as I’m sure you’re aware of.”

James nodded. “Yeah, I just didn’t realize some of them went to you. Or that you even still had any of them.”

“Walburga sold two of them, but my Andy let me keep one at her place until I was 18.”

“I must admit,” James said. “The idea of you riding a motorcycle is pretty hot.”

Regulus laughed, shaking his head. “Is it?”

“It is. You showed up at my front door wearing a My Chemical Romance tee with a motorcycle helmet under your arm and expected me not to think it was hot?” James asked.

“I didn’t even want to wear my MCR shirt, Pandora made me wear it.”

“Well I’ll tell her that I’m thankful.”

“Don’t let her ego get too big,” Regulus said, watching as James shoveled food into his mouth. “She’ll be dressing me until I’m old and grey at this rate.”

James let out a loud laugh, letting his head fall back. “You’ll have to take me for a ride at some point.”

“Oh, I can take you for a ride any time,” Regulus shot back, a smirk dancing on his lips. James flushed bright pink, adjusting his glasses on his face.

“Are you always this flirty?”

“Just with you, babe,” Regulus said.

James sighed. “God, it’s even worse in person. At least over the phone I can hide how flustered I get.”

Regulus laughed, a bright smile on his lips. “Aw, I fluster you?” He asked sweetly. “You know, you make me flustered all the time.”

James grinned and leaned back in his chair. “Good. That’s my plan.”

“You have a plan?”

“Yeah, it’s the 10-Steps-To-Woo-Regulus-Black Plan. Remus helped me make it.”

Regulus paused for a few moments, mouth hanging open. “That’s…well, that’s not surprising for you.”

“Hey, I take offense to that!” James exclaimed jokingly. They both laughed, settling into a comfortable silence as they finished eating.

“Y’know,” Regulus said. “You don’t have to concoct a 10 step plan to woo me, James.”

James looked across the table at Regulus curiously. “I don’t?”

A laugh escaped Regulus, a bright smile crossing his face. “Jesus Christ, you’re adorable. No, you don’t.”

“…I don’t even know why Remus tried the 10 step plan.”

Regulus continued to laugh, covering his face with his hands. “Fuck, James, just ask me out on a date already you big himbo.”

“Why does everyone call me a himbo?!” James exclaimed, laughing along with Regulus. Their cheeks were bright red, tears springing in Regulus’ eyes as they laughed.

“Maybe because you’re a himbo,” Regulus pointed out as he wiped the tears from his eyes.

James scoffed. “Alright, I get it,” He said, still smiling brightly. “But…since you asked so nicely, I would really like to take you out on a date at some point.”

“I’d love to, James,” Regulus said softly. 

“Really?” James asked excitedly.

“Of course, you big idiot. I’d love to go on a date with you.” said Regulus. James smiled happily, nearly bouncing out of his seat.

“Oh, I’m going to spoil you rotten, Regulus. Get fucking ready.”

“Jegulus? Really?”

“Hello starshine, it’s lovely to see you too!”

“Hey, loser.”

“I regret telling you both anything. I take back everything I said. I blocked his number and we’re never speaking again.”

“Calm down, you big baby. He asked you on a fucking date?”

“Yeah, he did. He was so damn excited about it, I thought I was going to explode. It’s disgusting how much I like him, honestly.”

“That’s great though, Regulus! Do you have anything planned yet?”

“No, as I was leaving he insisted that he wanted to plan everything.”

“Star sign?”

“Aries.”

“Aries.”

“Pan, you didn’t even know that.”

“It was a guess, but I got it right.”

“You’re insane, Pan.”

“Thank you.”

“He’s an Aries, I’m a Leo, how terrifying is that?”

“Not very. Aries and Leo are actually fairly compatible. I was half expecting him to be a Taurus, though.”

“That’s true. You’re both pretty stubborn, though.”

“Find out his big 3 if you can, Reg.”

“I hate you both. Goodnight, my loves.”

“Night, babes.

“Goodnight, starshine!”
