Excepts from the first three chapters of my jegulus coffee au fic that make me scream
Chapter 1 - Rise and Shine Love
“Meanwhile, as the clock neared 8:00 am James tried taking someone's order but stared at the person. They were gorgeous. Their eyes shone in the light from the windows, they held themselves with such grace it was captivating. You would think James was watching someone launch a rocket ship into space with the look on his face.” (James you’re very obvious)
“You’re fucking kidding, you’re James Potter?”
“Oh, so you know me?” James asks smiling even higher
“Of course I know you, my brother talks about you like you’re a god.” “
“James’ face tingled and he knew he may burn those who flew too close. But he was far too careless to even fathom Regulus being one of those people.
Although when Regulus sent that text he knew he may be flying too close, but not close enough. He had to try harder this time.”
Chapter 2 - Runners High (the song by MUNA)
“Oh, what would Regulus be wearing? Oh, screw it he would look good in anything what was he thinking?” (James babe…)
“oh but Sirius is going to look so good tonight. He sent me a photo of the outfit he’s wearing tonight and I nearly left work early. Sorry James…” (Remus honey we know you’re in love with him)
“Oh, Regulus looked good. So damn good. How was James going to get him? God James was screwed. He was reaching so far out of his comfort zone but god, he had to try didn’t he?”
“That stupid smile. God, how could he look so good? How is Sirius friends with all the hot people? First Remus and now James? He really needs to get out more and find his own hot people.” (Reg babe you have hot friends too)
“After all he had been heartbroken and what else does a heartbroken teenage boy do than write poetry and song lyrics?”
“I mean I wrote more than half of their songs, half of which are absolute hits. If you think I’m prideful, you’ve seen nothing.”
Chapter 3 - Sunlight (yes like the hozier song)
“That was until Regulus Black walked through those doors ready to wreck James from the inside out. His steps never faltered but boy did James’ heart. “
“His name rolled off James’ tongue as if he was toying with it.”
“Regulus finally looked at James and caught his eyes. They were glowing like sunlight. Like the light hit them perfectly and made them shine just enough so it never outshone the sun.”
“That nice ass smile James loved so much. “
“Did Regulus have a lover? Oh probably. He’s the prettiest person known to man, of course, someone already hit him up.”
“It was heavy in symbolism but James knew something was hiding even further than the between the lines. It was hiding in the depth of the lyrics where nobody except Regulus would understand. “
“James said his name like it was honey that just melted off his tongue.”
“Some people walk with a pep in their step but regulus? He walked with pure assertiveness. Despite the aura surrounding him, his eyes lit up the moment he looked at James. It was almost like he’d found sunlight after years in a dark cave. “
That’s it the fic is called The Secret to the Sun and the Stars (my username on ao3 is PH4N70M) have a great day :)
