#regulus x james

[fawns-angel]

regulus and james sitting on the edge of the astronomy tower together, their pinkies linked as they watched the eclipse, the moon passing over the sun

“that’s us,” james would say to break the silence, earning a dramatic eye roll

“you only say that because it’s good to look at,” regulus muttered, “there’s nothing practical about it.”

I have never been more terrified in my entire life

Prompt: Paint

"Can I see yet?" James asked, trying to lean over and see what Regulus was painting.

"No, James. I told you it will take a while," Regulus said, small paint brush flying from the canvas to the paint pallet. They were in the art room, hiding from the chilly air that everyone else was fighting outside.

"Why does it have to take a while?" James asked, sighing and leaning back in the chair.

"Because I'm putting effort into it," Regulus sighed. "Come closer again. I need to see your eyes."

James grinned, leaning forward until their noses were almost touching. Regulus sucked in a quick breath, frozen under his gaze. He never could maintain eye contact for long though.

"That's good," he said, tearing his eyes away.

James didn't move.

"I— I've got it," Regulus said again. "I know what I paint now."

"I know," James said, still grinning. He didn't move.

Regulus scowled, blushing. He shifted so the canvas was between them, and James finally sighed and fell back in his chair.

"How much longer do we have?" Regulus asked, mind spinning. James glanced at his watch.

"Half an hour until next lesson," he said.

Regulus took a deep breath, gathering his nerve.

"I don't have to finish this today. And I'm sure there are some more… interesting things we could be doing," he said, cheeks pinking. He risked a glance over at James, and saw that his eyebrows were sky high.

"If you want to…" He said. Regulus nodded.

"Just to clarify," James said. "You're talking about kissing. Yes?"

Regulus nodded again.

"Whatever you want," James grinned.

sort of explanation/apology thing for other post:

So as I said in my last post I was really tired when I posted it because it was early morning and so I didn't check it over at all and I thought it was fine until someone commented on it and I was confused at first because I couldn't see anything wrong but then I saw it and I realised that it looked really bad and I sort of panicked and deleted it but now I feel really guilty and I could have just fixed the mistake but it was already deleted because I panicked so here's another microfic in apology and I'm really sorry because I know it looked bad but I swear that I didn't notice until the person commented on it I'm sorry

#my jegulus have so much fun together.

james is one of the two people in the world (the other one is sirius) who can make regulus laugh out loud, and giggle, and joke without any worries. and regulus is james's safety net. he doesn't expect him to be good, or perfect, or anything actually. he just likes him for all his flaws too. and they both have this stupid sense of competitiveness, most of their interests are shared, and they just have this wish to absorb everything the other has to say. they practice quidditch together, and race each other across the pitch on their brooms like nothing else matters in the world. they wander around the forbidden forest for hours on lazy weekends. they gaze at the stars together, and talk. god, they talk so much, and no one has heard this much of regulus's voice since he grew up except for james. they yap about everything and nothing at the same time. they play cards, invade the kitchens for late night snacks, share their weirdest music interests, and master the art of people-watching (they sit in the courtyard and invent randomly over the top backstories for students they know nothing about. james proudly made regulus spit out his pumpkin juice by making him laugh more than once). sometimes they bake awful things but eat it all up anyway. they have fun together. this is really important to me.

can't stop thinking about pissed regulus because "james has a crush on someone who's not Lily Evans." meanwhile, james is a loser who just likes regulus and doesn't know how to confess (he tried to give some hints but regulus didn't catch it)

(actually the plot of my last one shot)
