the art of detachment

( ~ convincing you to read this fic by making a vision board! )

SUMMARY:

At risk of being failed by his least favourite professor, Regulus Black has exactly forty-eight hours to design a psychological field study from scratch. He comes up with a hypothesis. To prove emotional detachment is the ultimate key to a successful relationship. To test it, all he needs is a guinea pig who’s the complete opposite of detached.

In comes the loud, hopelessly attentive, and annoyingly charming star of Myrddin U's rugby team, James Potter.

For a month, Regulus observes and logs the data as James goes on a set of dates with two different people.

What Regulus doesn’t expect is to develop feelings for the main subject himself.

Sirius: yeah remember you looked at me funny and said I was pretty then we hold hands
