"Listen," Sirius says, looking back and forth between Regulus and James like he still can't believe he's not having a very bad dream, "I'm not saying I'm mad-"
"You look mad," Regulus grumbles, but James elbows him lightly in the ribs.
"-I just don't get it!" Sirius finished, eyes wild. "I mean-don't you two hate each other?"
James ponders this from his spot on the bed next to Regulus, still holding the blanket safely over his bare abdomen. "I mean...no?" he says, looking over to Regulus, who looks like he's trying not to smile.
It's true that they argue. Regulus seems to find James irritating like no other, and James kind of likes to make that little frown appear on Regulus's face. He's not sure why.
"It's his fault," James murmurs petulantly, looking down and blushing a bit. But this is quite the wrong thing to say.
"My fault?" Regulus argues suddenly, turning toward him. "You kissed me!"
"Yeah, but you were yelling!" James retorts, not thinking about his words. "You were saying all sorts of mean things and I just- I just-"
"Kissed him?" Sirius supplies, looking like he can't work out whether to be disgusted or to laugh. "Mate, most people don't get worked up when someone yells, you know."
This only makes James blush more. "But he looks so pretty when he yells," he whispers longingly, pictures of ice-gray eyes and dark hair flying searing through his brain, knowing he's sealed his fate.
Regulus snorts and pinches James's thigh, making him gasp while Sirius makes a choking noise and takes several silent moments before taking a deep breath. "No- you know what? This makes a lot more sense than I thought. Ugh, just- use protection, alright? Gods..." And he leaves, still muttering as he walks out and shuts the door.
But as they are left alone, Regulus turns to James, a satisfied smirk set on his stunning features. "Pretty when I yell, huh?" he asks slyly, slowly moving to straddle James.
But James can't answer. His lips are too busy.
