Now that the weather started to clear up, James started going out on afternoon runs almost daily, including today, when the sun was high up and warming everything about him, including his shirtless back and he did laps around the lake

@why-am-i-always-drowning

[why-am-i-always-drowning]

Regulus, like always, was sitting in a tree, writing in his notebook. Small sketches of his friends occasionally were messily cropping up as his writing became less writing and more drawing.

He was very much trying to ignore James, but it wasn’t his fault if he occasionally looked up, right?

[strongstag]

as James passed one particularly lonely tree he noticed a curly haired boy sitting in it. As he was walking past he locked eyes with the boy, who had been watching him for some time.

Once he had cought his breath, and funny enough cought up to the tree, he started running another lap, not really paying the younger black any mind.

[why-am-i-always-drowning]

Regulus looked away as he saw James looking back at him. His book was held loosely in his hands and he continued to look at the brown haired boy. It had to be impossible to run that much, right? There's no way he did this every day.

Slowly but surely, his book filled with drawings once more, less and less of his friends, and more of that dumb boy who was running in circles around Regulus' head just as much as he was running laps.

[strongstag]

//ooc: that so poetic omg//

the more he ran the more he noticed the younger boy's eyes on him.

after running past the sunset, and far past being drenched in sweat, James stopped just short of regulus.

"hey" he says between heavy breaths

[why-am-i-always-drowning]

Regulus quickly looked away as he realized he’d been caught.

“Hi.”

//ooc: haha ty//

[strongstag]

"what are you doing out here" he questions while trying to dry his damp hair with his shirt as if it were a rag

[why-am-i-always-drowning]

Regulus tried. He really really did, but it was not his fault when he felt his eyes drift to the boy’s chest. “I come up here sometimes. To write.” Regulus scrambled to turn the page as he realized his paper was filled with drawings of James.

[deer-prongs]

"oh. really? that's so cool"

"what do you write about? can I see?" he sat down and looked over reg's shoulder excitedly, not waiting for a response.

He catched a glimpse of the book, which was covered in drawing more that writing

he sat back at bit "that's writing ?" he teased,

He is clearly very tired and has been malnourishing himself//

*sits next to him* *kisses his cheek* Ready?

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*nods* Yeah, ready

[deer-prongs]

alright.

So, we’ll start off small and simple, by turning brown hair blond.

It’s one of the easiest things you can do when it comes to human transfiguration.

*pulls something out of his pocket*

first, i’ll show you how to it, then you’ll try to copy. *said as he unwraps the napkin, revealing two slices of bread with cream cheese and jam (idk if this works, but he’s eaten toast and sandwiches before and this is a delicious breakfast so why not)*

*puts the napkin and toast in front of reg before looking him in the eyes* does that work?

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*is very confused* Er..work for..what?

@deer-prongs

[deer-prongs]

For catching you up in transfiguration. *said slowly but with a smile*

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

You want me to eat the food..because you’re helping me….?

*still very confused, reg is stupid (/aff) sometimes*

[deer-prongs]

*laughs* no, no. The food is just in case you didn’t have breakfast.

I ment if the way im going to teach you works. *all said with a smile in his voice*

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*slow nod* Alright

[deer-prongs]

yea? Cool.

*explains the spell and hand movements*

*does it on himself* *hair turns blond*

Does that make sense?

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*blinks when his hair turns blonde* *tries (and fails) to contain his laughter*

You- you look ridiculous Potter! *doubled over in laughter*

[deer-prongs]

*rolls his eyes in mock offense* *trying to contain a smile* reggie!!! You wound me! I though i look super hot.

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*still laughing* *gasping for breath now*

You look horrendous!!

[deer-prongs]

*gasps for real now* rude!! And i’m over here trying to help you!

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*is done laughing* *still smiling when he looks at him* Aww, don’t be sad Jamie. I’m sure someone will like you blonde. *small laugh*

[deer-prongs]

*gasps loudly* hey! *face scrunches up in a pout* is that someone not you?

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*pretends to think about it* I bet I’d get used to it..eventually

[deer-prongs]

*sigh* good thing you won’t have too. *transfigures his hair back to normal*

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*looks at his hair* *softly kisses him and mumbles against his lips* I’d love you either way mon soliel

[deer-prongs]

*melts into the kiss*

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*places a hand on his cheek and slowly pulls away* *mumbles while pulling away* I need to study

[deer-prongs]

*opens his eyes and nods vigorously* right, yea. You try. *sits back, entire body still, looking at reg*

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*exhales* I got this. It’ll be fine. It isn’t that hard..but what if you can’t do it? Won’t he think less of you? *squeezes his eyes shut and then opens them again*

*effects from the sleeping draught are making his brain a bit fuzzy* *does what James did, focusing on making his hair blonde*

If you can’t do something as simple as this you’re a fucking idiot.

*messed something up and doesn’t end up turning his hair blonde*

*buries his head in his hands* *groans* *muffled* Fucckkkkk *tears pricking his eyes but blinks them away*

[deer-prongs]

*slowly takes his hand* reg, it’s ok. Of course you didn’t get it on the first try, no body does. There’s no reason to beat yourself up about it, alright?

*grabs reg’s wand and puts it in his hand, closing it around the wand, and leaving his own hand over around reg’s*

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*looks at him*

You don’t understand, James. I’m supposed to be good at this. This is the one thing I’m supposed to be good at and I can’t even do that. Talking, interacting with people, I can never really understand how to act or what to do. But-But this? School? It’s something I want- no- something I’m expected to thrive in.

There you go, being all fucking vulnerable again. What happened to keeping up walls? What happened to not letting anyone in?

*sighs*

[deer-prongs]

*grabs both his hands tightly* corazon, you do thrive in it. You’re one of the smartest people i know. Hell, you’re in some of my classes and you’re a sixth year. Getting a very difficult form of magic wrong on the first try doesn’t change any of the hard work, and talent you have. *squeezes his hands* don’t beat yourself up about it, please, amor. You’re too amazing for that.

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

I- *exhales* yeah, ok.

What if he uses this against you? What if, after everything, he leaves just like Sirius did? Sure Sirius came back..but what if he doesn’t?

*quickly stands up* I’m gonna- I’m tired. I’m going to head back to my dorm. Thanks for the help Potter.

[deer-prongs]

James sits there, dumbfounded, for what feels like an eternity. He was going to walk his boyfriend back to his dorm. But then

Potter

Thats the first time Reg has called him that since they started dating (idk if thats true but just go with it)

What happened?

He though they we’re making progress. He though they gotten past that. He though they were happy.

Eventually he gets up and starts walking, still deep in his overthinking and worrying.

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*goes to his dorm room* *groans into his hands* FUCK!! ‘POTTER’?!?!!?!!?! WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!?!!?!

[deer-prongs]

He ends up in the astronomy tower, though he isn’t entirely sure how. Regardless he sits down and looks for Regulus, finding the star easily.

He smiles up at one of his favorite sights. A smile that quickly dampens as he remembers his earlier interaction with a boy of the same name.

Maybe he is just overthinking everything. Maybe Regulus really was just tired.

Potter

He’s just overthinking it all. He knows he tends to do that.

and yet he can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong.

James leans back and sighs into his hand, reaching into his pocket. He looks down at the blade, then at his arm before shrugging. He could play it off as a quidditch injury.

Then he let all of his thoughts leave along with the blood now staining his arm.

[deer-prongs]

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*places a hand on his cheek and slowly pulls away* *mumbles while pulling away* I need to study

[deer-prongs]

*opens his eyes and nods vigorously* right, yea. You try. *sits back, entire body still, looking at reg*

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*exhales* I got this. It’ll be fine. It isn’t that hard..but what if you can’t do it? Won’t he think less of you? *squeezes his eyes shut and then opens them again*

*effects from the sleeping draught are making his brain a bit fuzzy* *does what James did, focusing on making his hair blonde*

If you can’t do something as simple as this you’re a fucking idiot.

*messed something up and doesn’t end up turning his hair blonde*

*buries his head in his hands* *groans* *muffled* Fucckkkkk *tears pricking his eyes but blinks them away*

[deer-prongs]

*slowly takes his hand* reg, it’s ok. Of course you didn’t get it on the first try, no body does. There’s no reason to beat yourself up about it, alright?

*grabs reg’s wand and puts it in his hand, closing it around the wand, and leaving his own hand over around reg’s*

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*looks at him*

You don’t understand, James. I’m supposed to be good at this. This is the one thing I’m supposed to be good at and I can’t even do that. Talking, interacting with people, I can never really understand how to act or what to do. But-But this? School? It’s something I want- no- something I’m expected to thrive in.

There you go, being all fucking vulnerable again. What happened to keeping up walls? What happened to not letting anyone in?

*sighs*

[deer-prongs]

*grabs both his hands tightly* corazon, you do thrive in it. You’re one of the smartest people i know. Hell, you’re in some of my classes and you’re a sixth year. Getting a very difficult form of magic wrong on the first try doesn’t change any of the hard work, and talent you have. *squeezes his hands* don’t beat yourself up about it, please, amor. You’re too amazing for that.

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

I- *exhales* yeah, ok.

What if he uses this against you? What if, after everything, he leaves just like Sirius did? Sure Sirius came back..but what if he doesn’t?

*quickly stands up* I’m gonna- I’m tired. I’m going to head back to my dorm. Thanks for the help Potter.

[deer-prongs]

James sits there, dumbfounded, for what feels like an eternity. He was going to walk his boyfriend back to his dorm. But then

Potter

Thats the first time Reg has called him that since they started dating (idk if thats true but just go with it)

What happened?

He though they we’re making progress. He though they gotten past that. He though they were happy.

Eventually he gets up and starts walking, still deep in his overthinking and worrying.

[deer-prongs]

the next day james entered the room if requirements carefully, his transfigurations book from the year before under his arm, and his want in the other hand.

“Reg? You there? “

*sitting in a chair, head resting on the table* *looks up and small smile*

[deer-prongs]

when james sees reg he smiles and enters the room.

*sits next to him* *kisses his cheek* Ready?

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*nods* Yeah, ready

[deer-prongs]

alright.

So, we’ll start off small and simple, by turning brown hair blond.

It’s one of the easiest things you can do when it comes to human transfiguration.

*pulls something out of his pocket*

first, i’ll show you how to it, then you’ll try to copy. *said as he unwraps the napkin, revealing two slices of bread with cream cheese and jam (idk if this works, but he’s eaten toast and sandwiches before and this is a delicious breakfast so why not)*

*puts the napkin and toast in front of reg before looking him in the eyes* does that work?

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*is very confused* Er..work for..what?

@deer-prongs

[deer-prongs]

For catching you up in transfiguration. *said slowly but with a smile*

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

You want me to eat the food..because you’re helping me….?

*still very confused, reg is stupid (/aff) sometimes*

[deer-prongs]

*laughs* no, no. The food is just in case you didn’t have breakfast.

I ment if the way im going to teach you works. *all said with a smile in his voice*

[why-am-i-the-one-drowning]

*slow nod* Alright

[deer-prongs]

yea? Cool.

*explains the spell and hand movements*

*does it on himself* *hair turns blond*

You- you look ridiculous Potter! *doubled over in laughter*

[deer-prongs]

*rolls his eyes in mock offense* *trying to contain a smile* reggie!!! You wound me! I though i look super hot.
