âDo you want a drink?â Regulus asked once theyâd finished unloading all the bandâs gear into the flat. âWe have Coke, orange juice, Ribena, tea, coffee and water,â Regulus listed off everything they had in the flat that wasnât alcohol.Â
âA Coke might be nice,â James nodded, his eyes roaming around the flat, taking everything in.Â
Regulus grabbed two red cans from the fridge, the ones with white lettering, not black (no zero sugar for him).Â
âDo you want it in a glass?â Normally, Regulus would drink it straight from the can, less washing up that way, but he knew some people preferred it in a glass.Â
âNo, thank you,â James replied, so Regulus walked back around the kitchen counter and into the living room.Â
They settled on the sofa, James trying his hardest to keep to his own side, but it was a small sofa. Regulus rolled his eyes and shoved his leg against Jamesâs, so the other boy would stop trying to embarrass himself by making himself small again.Â
Jamesâs cheeks burned pink again through his golden skin, and Regulus felt his breathing stutter. He busied himself with opening his drink, starting when it fizzed everywhere. Barty!!! Sticky, syrupy liquid covered his and Jamesâs laps.Â
âFuck!â he cried out as it soaked into his jeans. âIâm going to kill him!â Regulus got up and stormed into the bathroom, stripping off as he went, forgetting that James was still sitting on the sofa, dripping with Regulusâs exploded drink. He walked back into the living room in nothing but his tight black boxer briefs. He grabbed the paper towels from the kitchen and set to work mopping up as much liquid as he could.Â
Regulus held out the roll of paper towels to James, intending for him to clean up the mess on him, but James seemed to be in some sort of trance. His mouth hung slack, his eyes slightly glassy, staring straight at Regulus.Â
Regulus waved his hand a few times in front of Jamesâs unblinking eyes, but got no reaction. âJames!â He said loudly, clapping his hands together. James jerked, alert again. He blinked a few times and then picked up the paper towels and began dabbing at his jeans and the sofa beneath him, his cheeks glowing again. âIâm going to take a shower. You can have one after, if you want. That is, if youâll fit. Itâs a pretty tight squeeze,â Regulus continued, not wanting James to think he was being rude.Â
âThanks,â James answered, his voice sounding slightly strained, his eyes looking anywhere but at Regulus. Regulus found this odd, but shrugged it off and went to have his shower.Â
