Idk
James POV:
I taunts regulus. Lots.
"Hey reggie. Studying are you?"
"Go away potter, and don't call me that"
"where are all your mates?"
"Not here obviously. Where are your friends?"
"Not here. Sirius and remus probably gone to snog and Peter well. We don't question Peter"
"Just piss off potter"
"No, I don't think I will"
"Well then shut up and stop bothering me"
"Okay then"
So i have shut up. But of course I can't stop bothering the youngest black. How about I pass him notes saying hi and little drawing that move.
"James please stop, I'm trying to study."
"Oh, you called me James did you"
"Oh my god leave me alone or piss off potter. I'm not in the mood for this"
"So when will you be in the mood for this"
"Never"
"That's unfortunate for you then. It's very fun and easy to piss you off."
"Why me potter? Go bother Evans or someone. Aren't you in love with her?"
"Nah she's a lesbian. And I don't really take a preference to women."
"So your gay"
"No I'm omni. Do you have a problem with that?"
"No im gay"
"Runs in the family"
"Please just leave me alone potter"
"Anyways why wouldn't I talk to you?"
"I'm sure my brother has talked lots of shit about me, thought you'd hate me by now"
"No actually. It's mostly positive. He understands why you did what you did"
"Oh, but please let me study potter"
"Fine ill just sit here"
I'm just staring at regulus. He's pretty. Very pretty.
"Potter why are you staring at me? I thought you said you wouldn't bother me anymore"
"No I said I would just sit here"
"You are so infuriating"
"Yeah. Really?"
"Why are you even here?"
"Got nothing better to do"
"You, James potter, Have nothing better to do than bother your best friends little brother?"
"That's what I said didn't i?"
"Whatever. Just please stop staring at me"
"So what can I do?"
"You can sit there and study or read"
"Nah can't be bothered. Staring at you is better"
He's blushing. It was cute. He's cute. Wait I can't think these things. But he is. It's true.
No POV: sorry for the switch
"I'm done studying anyway. I'll just go"
"Where will you go now?"
"Probably to the lake. Why do you care?"
"Im bored. I want to know you"
"Why?"
"Your mysterious. That makes you interesting"
"Believe me im not that interesting"
"I beg to differ and I'd like to figure that out for myself"
"Whatever. Bye potter"
"Im following you"
"Whatever. Just don't bother me please"
"Oh but I was born to bother you."
"Why me?"
"I told you got nothing better to do"
"Find something better to do"
"No"
"What do you have like, a crush on me or something?"
"Maybe"
"You are just so infuriating you know that"
"Why, do you like me?"
"Maybe"
"So now you're the infuriating one"
"Oh wipe that smirk off your face James"
"Wipe it off yourself. And you called me James again"
"Fine then"
He'd finally had enough. He grabbed James by his collar and certainly wiped that smirk off his face. He kissed that smile right off james' face. James had no clue how to respond. It took him a second to realise what was happening. 'Oh oh' he thought. He kissed him back. They were in the middle of the hallway. When regulus realised this he pulled away.
"So you do like me"
"Shut up potter. Just forget that ever happened"
"But what if I don't want to forget it"
"So you like me"
Silence. James didn't know what to say. He did like him. But he didn't know what to say.
"James. We can forget it happened if you want. I know you are in a difficult situation with my brother as your best friend"
"Oh fuck him. I don't want to forget it. I don't want it to stop"
"I never took you for a hopeless romantic"
"You'll never meet a bigger one"
"Fair enough"
They just stared at each other for a minute. It was a Saturday so everyone was either in their dorms or at hogsmeade.
James was sick of the silence so he spoke up.
"Come with me"
"Where are we going James"
"I like that you have started calling me James"
"Where are we going, potter"
"You'll see"
They were on there way to the mysterious location and James grabbed regulus' hand. Regulus didn't argue against it. James dragged him into a classroom. They were all empty so he chose the closest one.
"What are we doing here James"
"Continuing what we started earlier"
So they did continue it. For a while. In facts they continued it for approximately 27 minutes. Regulus got carried away and left a few hickeys on James' neck. James is obviously going to parade them around.
"Shit james what time is it"
"Uh 4:46 why?"
"Fuck I need to get back to my dorm. I promised Barty to share notes with him"
"Oh okay. When can we meet again?"
"Next Saturday"
"I'll see you in the library at around 3"
"See you then"
As they stepped out the classroom regulus noticed James' neck.
"Uh James. You might want to cover your neck"
"No. I'm going to parade these around"
"How did this even happen?"
"True love finds a way"
"Whatever potter see you later"
They parted ways and they headed back to their dorms.
As James walked through his common room everyone stared. Girls started talking about who did it and made there conspiracies. But when he walked into his dorm it’s safe to say there was a freak out.
“Prongs oh my godric what happened”
“What do you mean?”
“Wipe that smirk off your face and tell me what happened right now?”
“I’m pretty sure you know what happened. I mean remus does it to you”
“Shut up prongs”
“Sure thing moony, I’m tired”
“No no no. You don’t get to get away that quickly”
“Hey where’s Peter”
“He’s out with his mystery partner still.”
“Cool, when are we going to meet them do you reckon”
“Stop trying to change the subject. Who was it?”
“I’m pretty sure remus knows. Pester him”
“Remus how do you know?”
“I’ve had a hunch for a while. Is it who I approached you about a few weeks ago”
“Yuppppp”
“James you can’t do that. You know you can’t do that”
“We can actually. We already did as you can see”
“Well I can see that but I mean James. You know you can’t do it”
“Well we are going to see how it pans out”
“He will find out eventually”
“I know. He’ll probably find out today. Might tell him. I don’t think the person will care. It’s not serious right now. Will be soon though”
“Wait are you talking about me? Why wouldn’t I want to know? It’s not like it’s a slytherin”
“Wellllll……”
“What the actual fuck James. Who is it? Are you shagging sniveluss”
“God no”
“So who then.”
“You will realise eventually”
“Wait tell me one thing. Gender?”
“Male”
“Wait. WAIT. OH MY GOD James are you fucking my brother”
“Not fucking”
“He’s my little brother. My sweet innocent brother”
“Not so innocent. He is the one who did this”
“No. No. No. We aren’t having this conversation. I want to know zero details.”
“Fine by me”
As regulus walked into his common room no one noticed. But when he got into his dorm it was a different story.
“Where the fuck have you been?”
“Barty I’ve been Studying”
“Have you been making out with someone”
Regulus just shrugged his shoulder
“Oh god. Tell me the details”
“No can do”
“Why? I’m not going to hate crime you. I am bloody gay too”
“Hey where is evans?”
“Fuck do I know”
“Just asking, anyway you wanted to share notes”
“It’s that potter kid isn’t it”
“You will be a great detective”
“I know”
