“new” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 234 words
Regulus is making tea in the kitchen in the flat he shares with Sirius when James walks in and casually leans against the counter.
“You want some?” Regulus asks him.
“Sure… So, I was thinking---” James starts.
“That’s new for you.” Regulus smiles at him.
“Ha ha. I was thinking maybe you and I could hang out this weekend.” James says.
“We hang out all the time.” Regulus states simply as he moves to the cabinets to get some mugs down.
“Right… yeah… but I was thinking maybe we could hang out alone… together… you and me… together, alone… hanging out… together.” James rambles.
Regulus pauses as he’s trying to reach the mugs on the top shelf, he swears Sirius puts them just out of Regulus’ reach on purpose. He slowly turns around to see James against the counter, not so casually anymore with his eyes squeezed shut.
“Are you asking me out, Potter?” Regulus says with a smirk.
“I’m trying really hard.” James replies with his eyes still closed.
Regulus walks over to him and gives him a small chaste kiss on the cheek.
“I’d love to hang out alone, together with you.” Regulus says nonchalantly, quickly turning back to the tea so James doesn’t see his blush or his smile. He can tell James is smiling also without even looking at him.
“Stop smiling like an idiot and get the damn mugs down.”
