Regulus
I've never hated my brother so much, he knows I hate this kind of thing. I am autistic and have trouble meeting new people, especially this way. I don't know what Sirius had in mind, but I hate him.
I walk out of my room with my anti noise headphones on, Sirius looks at me and motions me to take my headphones off
"lunch is ready reggie"
I sit at the table and observe the dish in silence, I start eating trying not to think too much about the noise coming from outside, Sirius is very understanding with me but doesn't want me to wear headphones at the table because he wants to talk to me.
"remember tonight is Remus' party" I sigh, I hate birthdays, in general I hate being with too many people but birthdays are even worse because there are always people I don't know who don't know I'm autistic. Once a birthday my brother's friend put his arm around my shoulders and I nearly had a panic attack. In addition to autism, I have PTSD from what my parents did to me and Sirius, from this hate when they suddenly touch me.
I listen to my brother talk about Remus and how much I love him and all, I look at the star stickers stuck on the windows, stars and astronomy are my hyper fixation, in my room there are stars everywhere.
Sirius passes a hand in front of my eyes and I gasp "What is it?" Sirius shakes his head "I asked if you're done eating" I nod and move the plate "I have to go out with evan and barty, see you tonight"
Sirius waves at me and I leave the house, I don't have much trouble going out alone, most of the time I don't even wear headphones. I walk around looking around until I feel someone coming at me. I look up, it's not possible. James is in front of me looking at me with an annoying smile. "hi reggie" I rolled my eyes and took a step back "don't call me that"
James chuckles "how grumpy you are"
"Will you let me pass?" he moves and I keep walking, I can still smell his scent. Vanilla and raspberry, that smells good, and it suits him...with that dark skin and that bright smile- no, no he's an asshole and I hate him.
I reach the bar where I have an appointment with evan and barty and I go to them, as soon as he sees me Evan raises his arm and smiles "Reggiee" I sit next to him and snort "don't call me that, hi ev, hi barty"
Evan starts talking and tells me how good the tattoo shop is doing, he and barty started it together. Evan is a fantastic tattoo artist, he did all my tattoos for me.
"I'm happy for you ev, I have a new tattoo in mind I'll pass as soon as possible" Evan smiles and we continue talking, Barty shows me his new piercings, he takes care of the one at the shop and draws some tattoos.
They start talking about the store and I look around, I know I should join the conversation but I noticed a cat, I get up and walk over to him, I kneel down to pet him when I notice a pair of red Converse in front of me and see him, him again. James smiles and looks at me "do you like cats?" I get up taking the cat in my arms "What are you doing? Are you following me?"
"absolutely not, I was on my way home to get ready for remus' party, are you coming too?" i nod and keep stroking the purring cat, sirius will probably kill me but this cat will come home with me. I quickly say goodbye to James and go home, when I walk in my brother stares at me "and that thing?" "it's not a thing, it's my new cat"
Sirius sighs "changed we have to go to remus house" I go to my room and change into my favorite dark green silk shirt and black pants. I join my brother and we go out together, I brought headphones with me so I can put myself in a corner to listen to music.
When we get to Remus' house luckily there aren't too many people, but unfortunately James is.
He's wearing a white short-sleeved shirt that pops against his complexion, I notice he has a tattoo on his arm and I have the urge to trace the ink lines with my fingers but then I come to my senses and go to say hello to Remus, wish him well and then I go to the kitchen to get a slice of pizza, when I turn to go back to the living room I find myself squashed against someone, James looks at me, he's taller than me and I'm practically attached to him. I smell his perfume again and when I look up at him I almost melt, he looks at me with his beautiful dark eyes and smiles that annoying way again "be careful estrella" Spanish sends me into a tailspin for a moment but I try to keep calm, I hate this guy, I can't think he's sexy. But it is, yes it is. Now that I'm closer I notice his tattoo is of horns, which probably continues on his chest. The desire to touch him increases so I move quickly, I have to get away from him. I hear him calling me but I ignore him and go out into the courtyard, I definitely need to calm down. After a while I hear someone approaching me, I pray it's not James but luckily it's just my brother handing me a note "what is it?" he smiles "a guy's number, you have an appointment with him in two weeks" "WHAT?" Sirius laughs "you need sex reggie" goes back inside, and I look at the phone number, it has a name on it. Fleamont, what kind of name is that?
