“Potter, what the fuck is this?” Regulus asked, wholly unimpressed, as he looked down at the cake James had handed him only moments ago.

“I think that’s pretty obvious,” the older boy beamed, gesturing to the treat.

But…it really wasn’t. Because yes, it was obviously a cake. But it seemed to be intended for a baby shower of some sort. It was white, with two little baby booties on top–one pink and one blue–and the words in icing said, ‘Boy or Girl?’

Regulus blinked. “Are you pregnant?” he deadpanned.

James cackled. “Ah, Reg. You kill me. No, this is for you.”

“Well I sure as fuck am not pregnant,” he insisted, affronted. 

“And thank Merlin for that,” Sirius said loudly, joining them in the Potters’ kitchen. “Time for cake?”

“Why are we having cake?” Regulus pushed, looking from his beaming boyfriend to his infuriating brother.

“We’re having a gender reveal!” James finally explained, smiling widely. “For you!”

Regulus stared.

“You know…” Sirius added, probably because Regulus hadn’t reacted. “You know how expecting mums always make a huge deal out of the gender of their baby? Well, obviously Wally was dead wrong about yours so…we figured...let’s do a do-over! Excuse for cake, right?”

“It’s more than an excuse for cake,” James elbowed him, frowning. “It’s…a celebration, innit? For you being…you!”

Regulus blinked and looked down at the offending pastry. “So I cut into it, and…what?”

“You have to do it to find out!” Sirius singsonged, waggling his eyebrows.

So, because Regulus had no plans, was a bit touched Sirius and Jame had thought of this, and was a little curious, he grabbed the knife James handed him and cut a slice of the cake, pulling it to reveal baby-blue insides.

“IT’S A FUCKING BOY!” the cake boomed, immediately blowing up and spraying blue in every direction.

Mouth open, utterly aghast, Regulus opened his frosting-covered eyes a moment later to see James and Sirius standing sheepishly, also coated in blue.

“Happy….pride?” James asked softly, tongue poking out to lick some frosting off his lips.

“Grace says he would like half of dome to be water.”

“Oh, is necessary for humans to have large amounts of water question?”

Small Eridian equivalent of a sigh. “No. Not needed for life. In fact Grace will die if he falls in water and does not get out.”

“Tell him we give him water in containers that won't kill him. Lots lots lots of water on Erid for Grace to drink.”

“No. Grace say he want water on ground. Also want it with excess sodium chloride compound so it will be unhealthy for drink.”

“Grace want this liquid for celebration.”

“Of course.” They scan it. “You have wrong liquid. This contain compounds which are poisonous for humans.”

“Yes yes yes. Grace say humans like feeling of being slightly poisoned.”
