Heād watched the map and the little marker labelled Regulus Black with the tip of his lit wand. The marker moved closer and closer to his own and, just as it passed, James stuck his hand out and grabbed Regulus, yanking him back into the secrecy of his hiding place.Ā
Regulus yelped but once heād realised it was James he calmed down and waited, smiling up at him. James wrapped his hands around Regulusās waist and leaned in.Ā
Regulus was greedy. His fingers slid into Jamesās hair and James moaned at the contact, closing the space between them before his brain could catch up.Ā
Sirius had been waiting for him last night once heād seen Regulus safely back to his Common room. It hadnāt been nearly as bad as James had anticipated. Yes. Sirius had started in a flap, pacing back and forth in front of the windows on the far side of the Gryffindor Common room. But once heād gotten out all the āHeās my little brother, Jamesāsā and the 'Why did it have to be him? You could pick anyone in the whole school, why himās?ā And settled down enough to listen to Jamesās side of the story. Heād hung his head and sighed.Ā
āOkay, James. Iām not going to stand in your way or meddle, but please, just be careful, alright? Donāt hurt him.ā Sirius had looked up at James with pleading eyes that nearly broke Jamesās heart. He grabbed his friend in a bruising hug and swore that if it worked out with Reg, that heād do everything in his power to make him happy.Ā
So heād hidden behind a tapestry where he knew Regulus would walk past and waited for him.Ā
His mind began to fixate on the feeling of those slender fingers scratching against his scalp and he lost himself in the boy heād pressed into the wall, hoping that this could be more and not just a little fling. He let his mind drift to that little country cottage heād dreamed about all night and the happy life that came with it.Ā
He dragged himself away from Regulusās lips.Ā
āCan I take you on a proper date?ā He asked, slightly breathless. He watched as Regulusās eyes widened a fraction.Ā
āWhen?ā Regulus asked, his voice wary, his fingers stilled in Jamesās tangled hair.Ā
āTonight? Iāll come get you from outside your Common room. Under the cloak, of course.ā He added as he watched the colour drain from Regulusās face as the fingers slid from his hair. The other boy swallowed but nodded his head in quick little bobs.Ā
āYeah, okay. What will we be doing?ā Regulus agreed. James felt his heart soar, and he couldnāt help it. He pressed a sweet kiss on Regulusās lips.Ā
āThatās a surprise, love. 8pm, Iāll be waiting.ā And without another word he slipped out from behind the tapestry and headed to his next lesson, silently planning the perfect date. Ā
