Regulus didn’t deliberately hunt out James at lunch. He couldn’t help it if his eyes were drawn instantly to the very tall, very attractive man who was sitting near one of the windows in what could only be described as an incredibly inappropriate outfit.
Regulus stopped halfway across the staffroom as he clocked James’ large, thighs bulging under his gym shorts and his biceps looking like they were going to split the short sleeves of his t-shirt.
“Stop staring, it’s indecent.”
His brother’s voice in his ear made him jump. “Fuck sake, Sirius. Shut up.” Regulus hissed as he looked around to make sure no one had heard his idiotic brother.
“Come on, loverboy’s waiting.” Sirius cackled as he jumped out of the way of Regulus’ punch.
“Hey, love.” James greeted him quietly, as Regulus sat down next to him.
“Hello, James.” Regulus smiled sweetly, ignoring the kissy noises coming from his fool of a sibling.
James brushed their pinky fingers together discretely and Regulus felt an electric shock shoot up his body and he struggled to contain his shiver.
“Fine. My year tens were great during third, but I had my year eights for fourth period and I swear those Weasley twins will be the death of me.”
“Ah, yeah, I met them last week. Them and the Jordan lad. They definitely have trounble written all over them, but my god they’re great with a rounders bat.”
“Yes, well, I can’t exactly weaponise them during English now, can I?”
“Might liven up Lord of the Flies,” James teased and Regulus swatted him playfully without really thinking.
“Sorry, sweetheart. You’re right, I’m sure your classes don’t need livening up.”
Regulus scowled at him, but he was struggling to keep the smile from his face, so it lost any fear it might normally have held.
“Eugh, you two are gross.” Sirius complained making the other men laugh. “I’m going to make a cuppa, do you want one?”
“Please. Oh, will you bring my sandwiches over when you come back?” Regulus requested and Sirius nodded, as James declined the offer of tea.
“So,” Regulus turned his attention back to James and keeping his voice low so no one could eavesdrop. “What’s the plan for tonight?”
“Well, I was hoping to cook for you.”
Regulus adored the look that James had when he got nervous. The tip of his ears tinged a slight pink and he rubbed at the back of his neck as he chewed on the inside of his lip.
“Mr. Potter, are you asking me to your house? On a school night?”
“Well, Mr. Black, I can promise nothing untoward will happen, because I also don’t put out on the second date.”
“That’s a pity,” Regulus smirked and watched as James’ cheeks went as pink as his ears. “What will you be cooking?”
“My mums famous red lentil dahl, served with greens and homemade roti.” Regulus’ jaw dropped. “Does that sound alright?” James asked with a chuckle.
“Yeah, that sounds incredible.”
“What does?” Remus asked as he dropped into the chair opposite them and Sirius came back with the tea and Regulus’ lunch.
“James is cooking for me tonight.” Regulus told them in a low whisper.
“Oh, nice. What you having?” Sirius asked.
“You’re not invited.” Regulus snapped quickly, causing Remus and James to laugh.
“Calm down, whiny wanda, I’m just after some inspiration for our dinner.”
“He’s been taking classes,” Remus chimed in. “And it’s going…” Remus paused for a bit too long.
“Wow, love you too.” Sirius harrumphed.
“I’m sorry, darling. You are doing very well.” Remus stroked Sirius’ arm. “But you have to admit that not all of your experiments have been successful.”
“We only got sick that one time.” Sirius threw his arms in the air and rolled his eyes.
Regulus leaned over close to James as his brother and brother-in-law continued to bicker. “That sounds wonderful, by the way. I’d love to come over for dinner.”
“Good. I’ll text you my address. Is seven, alright?”
“Seven is great. I’ll see you then.”
For fear he might do something stupid, Regulus took his sandwiches and tea and went to eat back in his classroom and then tried not to rush through his last two periods of the day.
