So Iāve started writing a fic where itās going to follow James and regulus falling in love but only there nights in the astronomy tower, I donāt know if Iām going to upload it to ao3 yet so I thought Iād test it out here first, also I havenāt edited it or anything to if thereās spelling mistakes or grammar mistakes or anything no there isnāt, hereās the first chapter
Regulus sat on the ledge in the astronomy tower with his feet dangling over the edge, he was content here, he always felt content when looking at the stars.
He found Sirius first, he always found Sirius first, he knew the sky like the back of his hand and he knew exactly where to find Sirius. He took a deep breath in, held it and released it, his brother always brought up a range of different emotions staring at sadness all the way to a full rage and he didnāt have the energy to deal with that tonight.
He was just about to take another breath when he heard to door open, he held his breath begging it to be someone at least slightly tolerable but he didnāt have such luck because none other than James potter walked through the door.
āOh sorry I didnāt realise anyone was up hereā James smiled sheepishly
āClearlyā Regulus scowled
James walked further in and sat down beside Regulus
āWhat are you doing?ā Regulus snapped
āIām sitting,ā James replied with a grin that could brighten the whole world
Looking at James felt the same as looking directly at the sun, it was beautiful and you wanted to look but look for to long and you damage your eyes, Regulus wasnāt about to let himself be any more damaged than he already was.
āWhy?ā Asked Regulus
āWell I came up here to look at the stars and the best way to look at them is to sit hereā Jamesā smile never faulted, it stuck like a piece of gum at the bottom of your shoe but that was James potter wasnāt it, a piece of gum stuck to the bottom of your shoe, you can never seem to get rid of him.
āOk well be quietā Regulus sighed in defeat
āThat I can doā James replied
They sat in silence for about fifteen minutes before James started tapping his foot against the wall below them
āPotterā Regulus snapped
āI thought you wanted silenceā James smirked
āItās a bit hard to have silence when your foot wonāt stop banging on the wallā Regulus snarled
āOh right, sorry: James replied sheepishly
They sat in silence for another twenty minutes before James started tapping his hand on the metal railing in front of them
āPotter I swear to Salazarā Regulus fumed
āWhat am I doing nowā James whined
āThe tapping, stop itā Regulus spat
James stopped and they sat in silence for the next ten minutes before James started humming
āPotter!ā Regulus yelled
āAre you obsessed with me or somethingā James laughed
Regulus groaned and put his head in his hands
āYou really are insufferable, do you know that?ā Regulus groaned
James merely smiled that dazzling smile of his and jumped up onto the ledge
āWhat are you doingā Regulus asked
āCome up here with meā James responded
āNo thanks I donāt have a death wishā Regulus drawled
James jumped back down and did a little spin, it took every inch of Regulus self control not to laugh, he was not about to give James potter the satisfaction of making him laugh.
āDance with me Regulusā James whispered
āAre you insane, what single part of this interaction has made you think Iād dance with youā Regulus uttered.
James then continued to dance around the astronomy tower, he was flailing all his limbs around without a care in the world, he looked a bit like a spider with all his limbs moving so fast it looked like there were double.
Before Regulus could help it a giggle bubbled up out of him, he slapped his hand over his mouth to hide it but the damage was done, James had heard it and he stood staring at Regulus with an awestruck expression on his face.
āDo it again,ā James begged
āNot if my life depended on itā Regulus bit back before standing and storming out of the astronomy tower and back to bed.
