Sirius: I forgot, I canāt pick u up from ur flight. I hav a thing. But someoneās coming, dw. Canāt wait to see u, reggie.
Scowling, Regulus stared down at the screen of his phone while standing awkwardly in the Arrivals area of the airport. He was trying not to feel too upset, but heād just run away from home, for Godās sake. The least Sirius could do was get him at the damn airport.
He knew it was about time. Sirius had stopped talking to their parents years ago. Itād taken Regulus until he was nineteen to finally sever those ties, but now that he hadā¦all he wanted was to pretend that part of his life never happened. To never talk to Walburga and Orion again. To start over.Ā
He so wished he had done this sooner. Taken Sirius up on his offer years ago, stayed when the Blacks had moved back to France, or at least left after heād realized that things were even worse without Sirius. Heād left so much behind: his brother, his friends, his school, andā¦what could he call him? He wasnāt his boyfriend, not really. But he still held such an important place in Regulusās heart, even after three years of no contact, that he couldnāt help but hopeā¦
Regulus: Fuck you, Sirius. Who are you sending? And when? Iāve been waiting fifteen minutes.
Sirius: Patience, young padawan. Ull see.
He snorted angrily and resisted the urge to stomp his foot like a toddler in the middle of the airport. Instead, he turned this way and that, hand still on his giant suitcase, looking for an empty bench to sit on while he waited.
It was when he turned that he finally saw him.
Walking toward him, a piece of torn-out notebook paper in his hand with the word āRegā scrawled on it in what looked like three different pen colors, there was no mistaking who it was, even after three years.
āJames,ā he breathed, completely forgetting his luggage and staggering one step forward.
James, however, seemed to have full control of his leg movements, because as soon as his hazel eyes met Regulusās, he began to jog, covering the ground between them and pulling Regulus into the best hug heād ever felt, the safety of being in Jamesās arms again making him nearly light-headed.Ā
āHi,ā Regulus choked, refusing to let go of the other man, even after a socially acceptable time had passed.
āIām so proud of you, baby,ā James murmured into his hair, pressing his lips there over and over. āSo fucking proud.ā
Finally, Regulus pulled back. āIām sorry. Iām so sorryā¦I missed you, so much,ā he said hesitantly, trying to explain, without actually explaining, that James had never left his thoughts. Not for a moment.
But Jamesās answering smile was dazzling. āMe too, love. Letās get you home, where you belong, yeah? Weāll figure everything else out later.ā
