"and im going to keep on loving you"

“Well love, this is it.” James says as he walks into their first house. Their house. Our house, James likes the sound of that. “Our house.” 

Regulus walks through the front door taking in the beige walls and ugly couch and is already envisioning how to bring the space to life and make it not just a house, but a home. “Excitement isn't even the right word to describe what I’m feeling right now. I am so much more than just excited.” 

“Me too Reg.” James looks around the house once again, really taking in the space that is theirs now. “It needs a bit of work, but I’m ready.” 

Smiling, Regulus sits down on the crusty couch and orders some food for a little ‘celebratory night.’ “Nothing fancy, but I did manage to snag some champagne.” He says, holding up the bottle he stashed in his tote bag. 

“Perfect.” James leans in to kiss Regulus, but Regulus pulls away. 

“Not so fast love,” he wags his finger at James, “the food will be here in less than 20 minutes, and do you not remember what happened last time we got carried away when we ordered food?” 

“But-” 

“No buts.” 

James nods, albeit a bit disappointed. “Well, at least I can kiss you wherever I want now. No more hiding in bedrooms because Sirius didn’t want to see us.” They both laugh, because they do remember the many nights that James and Regulus would kiss domestically in the kitchen or living room, and Sirius would audibly gag. 

“And, we don’t have to lock our bedroom door at night either.” Regulus smirks. 

“I like the way you think Reggie.” 

Their food comes shortly after, and they pop open the bottle of champagne. Regulus gives James a green light, and James can’t take his hands off of Regulus. It feels a little gross doing it on the dirty couch, so they take it up to the bedroom, where they don’t lock the doors. 

/ / /

Years and years and years later, people would talk about the couple who lived down the street, who were so clearly in love. People would watch the two men adopt a daughter, and foster more than one cat.

People would catch them dancing and kissing and laughing in the rain, and then reading and laying next to each other in the sun. And if you were inside, you could see them baking in the kitchen and having dance parties in their living room to old 70's and 80's music.

They would hear screams of joy when they had their friends over. They also hear the long phone calls at night when one of the two had to be away for work.

But whatever it was people saw and heard, they could feel the love.

well, this is it folks, the end of this little vingette series! i had a lot of fun growing thier realtionship, and kinda watching my verison of them come to life <3 until next time lovlies!!

"back into his arms"

@jegulus-microfic // day 28: airport // 311 words

Time spent away from each other was one of the hardest things that the two of them had to do. Not even the O.W.L.S. and N.E.W.T.S. came too close to this, Regulus thought. 

He had longed for James every moment since his departure at the train station, and now he was awaiting his arrival after a year of being gone. James told him to expect a bit of a delay, since the airports they had in America could be iffy sometimes. 

Even still, Regulus still showed up an hour early. He had also brought a bouquet of flowers and the rest of the group was meant to arrive soon. 

/ / /

Regulus sees the status of flight 2512 from “in air” to “landed” and Regulus couldn't help but feel butterflies awake in his stomach, along with some nerves. It has been a whole year since they've last seen each other, and things may have changed. But Regulus pushes those thoughts down, because from the letters they’ve been sending each other, their relationship hadn’t. 

By now, Sirius and Remus (who were unsurprisingly dating now), along with James’ parents are at the airport. He didn’t want to overwhelm him, otherwise he would have invited Lily, Barty, and all those other blokes as well. 

Regulus finally saw James coming down the terminal, and it took everything in him not to drop the flowers and run up to him. Turns out he didn’t need to, because James did. He let go of his suitcases and ran up to Regulus, grabbed him and hugged him. With the force that James was coming at with Regulus, they almost fell down, but instead James just followed the momentum and swung Regulus around while embracing in one of the best hugs of his life.

It sure is good to be back at home, Regulus thought. 

oh to be hugged like that fnjkyehnd

"im going to miss you"

@jegulus-microfic // day 27: scene // 306 words

Graduation day had come and gone, and just like that, James was leaving to train to be an Auror. If James had a choice, he would have chosen to stay right here, and learn on the Hogwarts grounds. Unfortunately, that was not an option so James had to leave. 

Leaving not only meant leaving most of his friends and family behind, but Regulus, who had another year of Hogwarts to finish. He was worried about Regulus and how he would be over the next year, but James did make a secret promise to come back to him. 

They were currently spending their last few hours together off of campus, at an empty field nearby that they had found unoccupied. Regulus’ head was currently laying in James’ lap and his fingers were brushing through the soft dark, slightly curly strands. 

Looking up at James, Regulus asked, “Do you have to leave?” 

James turned his lips downwards. “I’m afraid so love, but I wish that I didn’t have to.” He leans down and pecks a kiss to Regulus’ forehead. “I did ask to get reassigned, but alas, it was to no avail.” 

Regulus just turned his head away, looking out at the field of grass and flowers they were lying in, “it’s always Jame. I’ll just miss you a lot, that's all.” 

Chuckling, he agreed. “Yeah, me too love, me too.”  He paused for a minute. “Are you coming to see me off tomorrow?” 

“Um, I might yeah.” He looked back at James now. “I just don’t want to make too big of a scene if I’m there,” he sniffed, “I'm afraid I might cry if I do, but I can come for you if that makes you happy.” 

“Yeah, I think it would make me happy, Reggie.” He pressed another kiss to Regulus’ forehead. ‘The happiest ever.”

"dance the night away"

@jegulus-microfic // day 25: bathroom // 559 words

Parties in the Gryffindor common room were never a low-key event. They were always filled with loud music, dancing, glasses of whatever non-water substance they could get their hands on. This party was no less, especially because their N.E.W.T.S. were done with, and the end of school was approaching. 

Invites extended to most of the upper years, so Regulus made a rare appearance here because he wanted to celebrate with James. 

The two of them were currently dancing together in the area they had set up, and a fast-paced song was playing over the magicked speakers in the room. “Having fun, love?” James shouted over the lyrics. 

Regulus shrugged, “Eh. It’s not really my scene, but I enjoy seeing you happy.” Regulus smiled at James. 

“Your friends seem to be having loads of fun over there,” and James nods in the direction of Barty and Evan, who always said that they weren't fucking or dating, yet seemed a little too close to not be. 

Regulus rolled his eyes, “those two can’t take their hands or mouth off each other.” 

“Well, If I wasn’t such a gentleman, I wouldn't be able to either.” James said as he winked. 

Rolling his eyes again, Regulus said, “I have to go to the bathroom, but I’ll be back in a minute. Okay?” 

“I’ll be right here.” 

Not even 2 minutes later, James decides that he no longer wants to be a gentleman. He goes to the bathroom to find Regulus, who had just finished washing his hands. James walked up to behind him, grabbed his waist and spun him around, so James could press a kiss to his lips. 

“Omph,” Regulus gasped as he leaned back in to kiss James deeper. Regulus craned his neck to get better access to James’ lips, and James opened up for him. Once tongue got involved, Regulus was gone, gone, gone. He was making noises even though he tried not to. 

“James,” he pulled back, out of breath, “if you don't stop, I’m not going to stop.” 

“I see no problem with that Reggie.” James silenced Regulus with another kiss. 

Regulus pulled away more this time, “Barty and Evan, however engrossed in each other they may be, are going to wonder where I went.” 

James nodded, pulling back. “Are you sure though?” 

“James, yes, just…here come on.” Regulus exited the bathroom with James’ hand in his. He walked past Barty and Evan, and didn’t even look at them, but yet, they pulled away from sucking at each other's neck to make a crude comment at the pair of them. 

“In the Gryffindor bathroom of all places, Regulus, not even I have done that before.” Barty said, and winked at Regulus. 

Regulus had to resist the urge to say “I told you so” to James, so he settled for a glare instead. “Barty, shut up. I don’t want to hear anything about my relationship until you figure out yours,” and he walked away with James still in tow. 

After they were out of earshot, James laughed as they stepped out back onto the dancefloor. “Those two sure are something.” 

“That's one way to put it,” Regulus grinned. 

James stepped closer to Regulus, “enough talk about them Regulus, I want to dance with you!” He shouted, and they danced the rest of the night away.

rosekiller appreance! i love barty and evan so much hehe -a.s.

"the other star"

@jegulus-microfic // day 24: dinner // 418 words

“Shh, shh, you’ll wake them up Reg.” He giggled as he went up the steps of the astronomy tower. 

Regulus followed shortly after him, arms full with stolen food from the dining hall. He had a hard time stopping his laughter, because this situation was so funny to him. Him and James, sneaking away with hands full of food to have an impromptu dinner date. 

He tried his best, but some giggles still snuck out, but only because James would turn around and make silly faces at him just to make him laugh. 

They made it up the rest of the tower, and he saw that a blanket had already been set up, along with some unlit candles. 

Regulus almost gasped at the sight, the way everything was laid out, the way that it must have been carefully planned, the way that it was thought out with him in mind. Regulus would have been a liar if he said that he didn’t fall more in love with James every day. 

“You did this for me?” Regulus turned and looked at James. He set down the food, which was a mixed assortment of things that were easy to take. 

James laughed, and guided the both of them to sit down. “No, love, I actually did this for Sirius, some best friend bonding time, but I must have brought the wrong black brother…of course I did it for you!” 

Regulus reached out and swatted James’ arm. “You twat.” 

“Yeah, yeah,” He said. “But the twat that you’re in love with, so I don’t see why you’re complaining.” 

Regulus just rolled his eyes. “Did you manage to grab something to drink at least,” and looking around at the spread, there didn’t seem to be anything. 

However, James was more than prepared. He reached out from under one of the pillows he had brought here ahead of time and pulled out a bottle of butterbeer. 

“I don’t even want to ask how you managed to bring that back from Hogsmeade.” Regulus shook his head, but accepted one of the glasses that James had also remembered to bring and let his glass be filled. 

***

After their “dinner date” the two of them had set up the pillows and rearranged the blankets to be looking out at the stars from the tower. James loved every minute of it and didn’t want to go back; it was the perfect night with the perfect view, the twinkling stars above, and a star right next to him. 

oh to have a love like james and regulus have

"home is wherever i'm with you"

@jegulus-microfic // day 22: cry // 352 words

“Reg, Reg baby,” James whispered as he was rubbing Regulus’ back. “Can you tell me what’s going on love? Or no? I’m here to listen, to soothe and to fight off anyone you need me too.” 

Regulus sniffs. “I just…it’s so…no.” He tries to finish his sentences but he cannot, the words ending in sobs. “I’m sorry James.” 

James widens his eyes and shakes his head. “You have nothing to be sorry for. Why would you be sorry for crying? It’s ok to express your emotions when you need to, and I don’t know who told you other…oh.” James realizes why Reg is having such a hard time now. 

“Look, I don’t know all the details and I don’t expect them right now or ever, unless you want to tell me, but whatever your so-called parents told you, it’s not true.” He climbs in bed with Regulus, the smaller allowing himself to be pulled into James’ chest, a rare act of intimacy. 

“You are enough. I don’t care what your parents told you, or what anyone told you, you are enough. You’re enough for me. You’re perfect darling.” James tucks Regulus’ head underneath his chin and his arms encircle Regulus’ waist. “You are enough.” 

“I’m scared.” 

James almost didn’t hear it through the crying. “Reggie, love, look at me."

Regulus pulls away so James can hear him better. “Yes James?” 

“I am too.” He smiles softly as Regulus, because Merlin is he scared! He doesn't know where this will take them, or where they’re going, or anything. But what he does know is enough to calm his fears. He knows that he loves Regulus, and that home is wherever he's with him, and he tells Regulus so. 

He hears Regulus finally stop his tears enough to see James without salty water clouding his vision. Regulus takes a deep breath in and out, following James’ own breathing. “Um, thank you...I really needed that, thank you."

“Regulus, there's nothing to thank me for.” His hands slide up and down, rubbing comforting circles on his back. “I’m here for you ok? Always and forever.”

"james the consent king"

day 6482929 of misreading prompts whoops // 218 words

James was no longer afraid of touching Regulus. In fact, all he wanted to do was touch Regulus. In the hall, in class, at night in the astronomy tower, everywhere, he wanted to be touching Regulus in one way, shape or form. 

It was around 5 months into their relationship, just before christmastime, and James and Regulus had nothing better to do than to be with each other. It was late up in the astronomy tower, and James' hands wandered further than they had ever before. 

Of course, he didn't want to step over any boundaries because they had been taking it very slow for the both of them. So when his hands slipped under Regulus’ shirt and Regulus shivered, James promptly removed his hands and apologized. 

“Are you ok? I am so sorry Reg, I wasn’t thinking straight.” James looked very deeply sorry, but Regulus had on a grin. 

Regulus moved close to James once again, took a hold of his hands and guided them back underneath his shirt. James gingerly placed them back on his smooth skin, and whispered, “yeah?” 

Regulus smiled against James’ lips and pulled away only so he could whisper “yes” and he went back to kissing James. And oh how lucky he was to kiss someone as wonderful as James Potter.

"just james"

@jegulus-microfic / day 15: glasses / 193 words

Some people could say that glasses are unattractive. Others would call people with glasses names like “four eyes” or “nerd” and other names. Even people with glasses hate wearing glasses. But Regulus was not like some people, or others. 

Regulus loved glasses, and better yet he loved the face they resided on. He hoped James would never get contacts, because Regulus loved the way James’ wiry round framed glasses looked on his beautiful face. 

Sometimes, he would daydream about his glasses coming askew from kissing him. His hands would slide up on his face, just slightly coming up under the frames in a way that would push them off his face and he’d be able to see his brown eyes with no glass in his way.

Those beautiful brown eyes of his, the ones that turn almost golden in the sunlight but a rich shade of chocolate brown in the dark. The eyes that hold all the smiles and sunshine you could ever want or need. It was safe to say that Regulus was a little obsessed with his eyes. And his glasses. And just James in general, if Regulus was being honest.

some reggie pov for you!! -a.s.

"you're in my blood"

written for day 16 of january for @jegulus-microfic with the prompt "bone" totaling 229 words

James and Regulus were developing into their relationship, slowly, one step at a time. 

James was still so scared that he was going to hurt Regulus or do something that was going to turn him away, so he always tended to tread on the safe side. Skin to skin contact was very minimal, and the boys had not even kissed yet. Of course, James wasn't in a hurry or anything, he wanted to take his time. 

So, when Regulus and James were in the astronomy tower one night, about a month after they had officially gotten together, and they were sitting in the astronomy tower and Regulus took James’ hand firmly in his own and scooted closer to him so their thighs were touching, James felt a shock go through every bone in his body. 

“You know, you don’t have to treat me as if I’m some delicate flower.” Regulus looked at James with a slight smirk - slash - frown face that Regulus was the master of. 

James took that as an invitation to slightly rest his head on Regulus’ shoulder -  his neck was craned at an awkward angle because of the height difference -  and he let himself relax. He let the feeling of Regulus flow through his blood, he let the smell of Regulus infect his brain and the way his hand felt in his take up all thoughts. 

i have so many thoughts and no where to put them i am going insane

"mr. loverman"

written for day 15 of january for @jegulus-microfic with the prompt "comb" totaling 216 words

Now that Regulus was aware of the effect he had on James, it was as if he went out of his way to make James drool and stare at him at every passing turn. Regulus had always looked divine, yes, but now? He looked god-like. 

It was in the way that he would secretly look at Regulus across this dining hall and lick his lips to make James hesitate when eating his food. The way they would brush past each other on their way to class and Regulus would be sure to walk close but not close enough to James so he could smell Regulus’ cologne, but not reach out and ‘accidentally’ touch his hand.

It was in the way that he combed back his hair every morning, to make those perfect black waves of his do exactly what they needed to do so it looked absolutely stunning throughout the whole day. 

Except at the end of each day, where the two of them would run away to the astronomy tower, or to the lake, and James was allowed to run his hands through his lover's hair. He loved the way the strands felt as he was carding his fingers through it. Now that Regulus was holding onto James, James wasn’t ever going to let go.
