#James being a simp for Reg

[whysosiriushuh]

Sirius bursting into common room, running to James

Sirius: Am I worth it?

James: Worth what?

Sirius: Dying for.

James: …Yes? I would fight the world for you

Sirius: Great. Better get ready then!

Regulus *blasting the door with dagger in one hand, wand in another, murder written on face*: Sirius!!

James: ......Kiss me?

[yourgalgremlin]

James: “Are we soulmates in every timeline?”

Regulus:

[jjamestan81]

its funny how different the black brothers are when it comes to being told what to do

sirius hates being told what to do by other people, like his family so he'll whatever he can to go against it. but when it comes to remus, hes sat.

regulus however, also dislikes being told what to do but he'll just bite his tongue and keep his had down. and then later he'll have full control and command over james

[ellecdc]

Ooooo Mother, i'll do one better!!

What about the boys (established relationship) being needy over reader?? Like something she does or says or wears.

ooooooooof good one babes

okay, mature content ahead: viewer discretion is advised

James:

you come down the stairs to the Gryffindor party looking like that

certified simp, there would be no question what was going through his mind when he get's needy like this

glassy eyes just ogling you

following you around like a lost puppy - his friends would joke that you had him on some invisible leash

probably has a hand on you at all times

I see him getting a little whiny: "can we go now?" "the party's almost over, right?" "they won't miss us for a few minutes?"

whatever ends up happening afterwards is rushed and frantic - it's very obvious how absolutely desperate he was for you

Sirius:

you come down the stairs to the Gryffindor party looking like that

I don't think he lets you make a full round of the party before he's pulling you up to his dorm and locking the door

"Siri! I was talking to Emmeline!"

He'd scoff at you as he started shedding his clothes. "You come down stairs looking like that and expect me not to want to jump your bones immediately? Fuck, look at you; who even gave you permission to look this good, huh?"

idk about you but that sentence alone would have me in a puddle

ravishes you - you both look like a right mess afterwards

he takes about 30 seconds to revert back to his dishevelled rockstar appearance (which is so unfair because it took you a little longer to get ready tonight)

he dutifully helps you get redressed - the whole nine yards. Hair, makeup, outfit; though he makes sure some of the marks he's decorated your skin with are visible... "they compliment the ensemble, doll face"

Remus:

you come down the stairs to the Gryffindor party looking like that

he's got a good pokerface, but there'd be signs

he'd be a little quieter during conversations - most of his attention placed on you, one of his hands would be near his mouth as he played with his lips (like a nervous tick, almost like he really wants a cigarette right now)

but this man's M.O.? Get you feeling just as needy as he is

he would ask you to dance - and it'd be sinful: your back pressed up against his front as your hips sways in sync to the beat

his hands would be all over you: running up and down your thighs, slipping under the skirt of your dress, arms wrapping around your middle, gentle kisses pressed to your ears and neck

he'd have you so wound up and when you finally turn in his lap to ask him if he wanted to go upstairs, he'd smile at you and say "great idea, dove. I don't think they'll miss us for a little while."

get's exactly what he wanted and somehow it had been your idea

Regulus:

you come down the stairs to the Slytherin party looking like that

I think it would piss him off a little bit, quite frankly - how dare you come down stairs looking that good and acting like you weren't knocking the wind out of Regulus? (and likely every other partygoer there)

I think because he's feeling slightly jealous/a little peeved at you, he'd keep his distance at the party; but you would feel his eyes on you all night

his predatory gaze watching you as you navigate the party, sending threatening glares at anyone getting too close or was looking for too long

finally as the party is dying down, you're halfway through a conversation with Dorcas when you feel a looming presence behind you

"We're leaving." He says simply, taking your elbow and ushering you towards the dorm rooms.

you try to scold him for interrupting your conversation and rudely dragging you away from the party

he narrows his eyes and looks you up and down: "you don't get to show up to the party looking like sex on a stick and then berate me for finally getting you alone"

you smirk at him. "if you wanted me alone so bad, all you had to do was ask"

"Well, here I am." "I'm all yours, reg"

Barty:

you come down the stairs to the Slytherin party looking like that

your foot has barely hit the last step before you're hastily thrown over Barty's shoulder and he's running to his dorm room

"But Barty! The party!"

"Fuck the party! There are more important things to do."

you guys never make it back to the party - a shame too, you really liked that dress....the one that was since ripped off of your body and sat in a pile on the floor

"Don't worry treasure, I'll buy you 40 more of those dresses; though I can't promise they won't end up in the same state"

[star-struck-withantlers]

Okay I'm sure everyone's seen the headcanon about all the school mums being in love with james and heavy flirting with him at pick up infront of reg?? And reg basically shutting them down indirectly and showing off how lucky his is with his hot husband and super sweet, super cute son!?!??!

What about this with Jegulily!?!?!?!?

Imagine parents evening (parent teacher conference??) All the parents simping over the hot couple. All the dads heavy flirting with Lily and Lily's just being polite but quickly shutting them down but they just keep trying and all the mums flirting with James but he's too oblivious to notice and thinks their just being friendly.

Then reg showing up late from work and immediately kissing James and it lasts a little longer than what's acceptable in a school and whispered sweet things in James ear so now james is following his husband around like a lost puppy while they try to find their wife and ignoring all the woman who think he's been flirting with them all night.

Regulus finally finding lily and Harry and Harry running to him, excited to see his pa!! He picks Harry up and holds him on his hip, lily coming over and kissing both her husbands on the cheek and slotting herself into Regs other side and wrapping James arm over her shoulders, winking at the guys who have FINALLY BACKED OFF!!!!!

Omg their so hot I cant

I don't even like men!?!??!

[itsjaywalkers]

can we have some nsfw boxer james hc 🥺 also hope you're having a lovely day !

sure nonnie !! i feel like u guys know more about his sexual life than . james himself at this point considering how horny we all are for him and how often we talk about this but . i'm always happy to indulge u guys <3

he's very sex positive!! he's open about his sexual life despite being a famous athlete and quite the public figure and isn't ashamed to talk about it

he's never had a serious relationship. he's dated people before but it never lasts very long, he usually sticks to casual sex

they paint him like he's a player or a fuckboy but . he isn't . i mean he kinda has the attitude sometimes but he's very clear about his intentions from the beginning, doesn't make empty promises and he's very considerate + attentive to the ppl he fucks (i mean to them as ppl bc we all know how aggressive he can get in bed)

he's Big. there had to be something backing all that confidence up i guess

he likes taking pics + vids of his partners during sex, but he usually deletes them after they're done or after he sends them to the other person!! he does keep some of them tho when they allow him to

more than nudes tho what he has are . a few sex tapes . as we all already know

there's a couple of them on the internet that ended up being leaked and back then ppl thought it was bound to ruin james' reputation but he just . doesn't care

in fact, he's kind of proud of them and how looks in them <3

so yeah seeing him completely naked and having sex is only a quick search away

remus did try to take them down at the beginning but it was . hard . and once he realised james really did not give a fuck (and his fans were literally just . simping and super horny about it) he just gave up

he's also been caught having sex in public places a handful of times. or like, in compromising positions. there's a few very indecent pics of him going around

he's more famous for his sexual prowess and sex escapades than for his boxing lmao

but james doesn't mind (or that's what he says at least) bc he's still an amazing boxer and he proves it every time he steps on the ring

he's very into impact play and spanking and slapping

he's quite aggressive and violent during sex!! when his partner allows it ofc

he's never bottomed before

he has a bit of an oral fixation so his fav part is always giving oral sex, whether is eating someone out or blowing them

has a bit of a daddy kink (as in . he likes being called daddy . sometimes . depends on the partner and the dynamic they have during sex)

he's possessive so even when the whole thing is casual and everyone involded knows it doesn't mean anything he likes all that dirty talk about belonging or his partner being just his

he's been in threesomes AND orgies. more the former than the latter tho

has insane stamina and a very short refractory period

fighting with reg + reg putting him in his place turns him on completely unironically

no gag reflex!!

doesn't exactly have an exhibitionism kink, he just gets horny easily and doesn't care about getting caught and kinda enjoys when ppl watch him with his partner

he tends to dom but . he's lowkey a switch, he just never allows himself to lose control (until reg)

and that's enough for now i think!!

[cressthebest]

Art Heist, Baby! thoughts pt. 11

another single-chapter post

chapter 29:

1. i’m so ready for regulus to get fussy over james’ fun wound. like, maybe it’s just me, but i see this as an opportunity for reg to dote all over james and make sure he’s okay.

2. i love the quiet background rosekiller. god i love them <3333

3. hell yeah! i was right about reg being doting. he called james “love”. the domestic bits will only last so long though

4. kreacher is back babey! i love the way they worked him into the ahb universe

5. i’m so worried about how the police found out and if someone betrayed them, and who

6. reg is crying over james. while this is so sad, i’m actually so excited for the potential angst and all the domesticity this will bring

7. “James put his life in Regulus’ hands a long time ago; he would go happily if that was what was required of him.” 😐 god he’s such a fucking simp

8. james is being held while being comforted for the first time in his life. because he always comforts others. and now reg is comforting him. this fic is destroying parts of me, and healing other parts

9. euphemia thinks james got mixed up with the wrong sort of people, but james knows that he found people he loves and who loves him. and i’m sobbing. the people on the bus see me sobbing

10. thank fucking god that reg realizes it’s not sirius. (but that only further hints at it being peter)

11. 😳 reg is threatening murder on the mole

12. i love how in this scenario, reg takes guilderoy lockheart’s identity like lockheart would always do in canon

13. i love to know that reg was panicking in the other car during the chase and only pulled himself together for the team, and was otherwise a complete wreck

14. siri and reg are 100% a team again fuck yeahhhhh!!

15. nooo this is so funny. reg and james have finally gotten over the shock and reg is asking him to join the mile high club. 😭😭😭😭 he’s so desperate, jesus

[quillkiller]

regmont for the ship ask thing?<3

PLEASE.

doesn’t make sense/compels me

like ok. in an au absolutely everything can make sense if you’re brave enough, but in canonverse……. no. do i care ? also no. i love them and i think they should f nasty . even in canon if they felt like it❤️

also. as we’ve discussed before……. i love the idea of reg simping hard for monty and so barty, being the selfless and loving friend that he is, offers to distract effie. no ulterior motives obviously <3 and that’s when effiebarty comes into the picture<3

reg and barty scheming and plotting, making plans and working harder than they’ve ever worked in their entire lives. barty showing up at effies work when he knows shes getting off/on her way home and he bats his pretty little eyelashes at her and asks if she wants to grab a drink maybe. effie says no obviously because she knows how it would look. lucky for them that effie keeps a bottle of wine in her office tho. meanwhile barty shoots reg a text ’the eagle has landed’ and reg texts back ’text like a normal fucking person i swear to god’ but he doesn’t even have time to send it before monty opens the door to his home, becaus reg was knocking, and reg says something stupid like ’i was just in the area 😍’ and monty says ’oh. well james isn’t here. neither is sirius 🤔’ but he’s also a little distraced because reg just looks so pretty:/ and his wife isn’t home so like. would it kill him to let this kid indulge him just a little. its not like he’d ever act on it…….? its nothing!!!!!! monty was just reading anyway, drinking some tea. so he offers reg some tea too, it’s the least he can do if the kid came all the way over here :/

(ask game!!!)

[static-radio-ao3]

mil I just read the latest frat boy james installment and I have to say the part where he called reg “the old ball and chain” made me giggle & I was like, okay I feel like he can joke and say that, but if someone else did he would turn into that tiktok audio of those podcasters where the one calls the other’s wife a ball and chain and he replies like “don’t refer to my wife as a ball and chain bitch she doesn’t weigh me down she lifts me up she’s the wind beneath my wings.” like james wouldn’t have it

anyways lovely as always <3

oh absolutely,, james wants to name their children “charity carwash potter-black” and “kissing booth potter-black”, he’s not gonna stand for ANY regulus slander EVER (barty gets a pass bc he bankrolled the whole production)

and you’re so right about the tiktok audio,, i can see sirius making a joke all lighthearted and fun about regulus being the ball and chain, and james all adamant that regulus is No Such Thing he is the light of his life, the wind beneath his wings and the ocean breeze in his hair etc etc. the vision is very much “welcome to simp nation. population: james potter”

[plasticfangtastic]

Ladylander would have vagina dentata through muscle force and use it extensively. There would be so many more than just one guy with no dick working at Vought and she probably would have gotten to that writer before Ice Princess. Everyone who knows would fear her but also the men still simp for her because goddess.

... she gives them each a diamond for their troubles after the fact. But from the front hole. Or something.

She turns dicks into diamonds. She could also make a beautiful necklace of them. She probably would turn men into jewelry.

She turns dicks into diamonds and wears them as souvenirs.

She would defo learn the hard way about how tight her pussy and probably be traumatized.

Cannot imagine femlander not being a proper femcel or extremely sexually repressed at least... like for my storyi am thinking that James S. or Madelyn S. be very controlling of her image even more so than reg. HL which meant she cant go around giving the pussy for free as it would be too controversial and might affect her standing with the church.

She would be on the edge of ending up like a disney channel kid.

[lesbianforregulusblack]

Okay, so this is me relating each and every reputation song to the marauders because it's my fav album for a reason

...Ready For It? - okay so canonically (meaning the space the canon gives us) this has jegulus written all over it (just know, I'm going to say that about almost every song), but I can't help but think about crimson rivers dorlene, like "knew he was a killer first time that I saw him" it's obviously from Dorcas' perspective, because "in the middle of the night, in my dreams" we know she's simping for Marlene from the very beginning, so that's her imagining being with her, "Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me" is her talking about her own background with the phoenix and later on she's saying that no one (not even Lily) compares to Marlene, "Are you ready for it?" I feel like the question is directed at herself because, no she's not ready, she doesn’t want Marlene to know about the phoenix so yeah

End Game - Starchaser!!! "You and me would be a big conversation" damn sure they would, because they are a Potter and a Black (both having a big reputation), "and I heard about you, oh, you like the Bad ones, too" is basically Reg noting that James likes Sirius (a Black, a 'bad' one if you will) so maybe he's going to like reg, too?

I Did Something Bad - okay so this can either be about Sirius or Regulus...in Sirius' case it's obviously directed at his family/parents and how he eventually leaves them (which is bad in their eyes but feels good to him), in Reg's case it's also directed at his family, but at Dumbledore as well.

Don't Blame Me - obviously a jegulus song, very much reminding me of their dynamic in Choices. I have this headcanon that Reg went Horcrux hunting for James, feeling crazy for betraying his family like that but "love made him crazy"

Delicate - again, very much jegulus. "My reputation's never been worse" I imagine Reg thinking that right after Sirius left. James still loved him even though Sirius surely didn't like him very much at that time. In the Refrain Reg (or James, honestly, it's fitting for both of them) overthinks the time he's spending with James, afraid that he'll scare him away

LWYMMD - again, this works for several people but I'm going to go with Regulus..imagine him faking his death in the cave after Dumbledore made it clear that he would never trust Regulus in any way, basically painting him as the bad guy since he is and always will be a Black and Regulus is hunting down all of the horcruxes in secret, totally slaying while doing so. It also works for Sirius, who is talking about his family and how he hunts them down as an order member (I also see Pandora or Dorcas in this song after Reg/Marlene die but I'm trying to keep this as short as possible)

So It Goes... - to me this is screaming MacEvans just because this song is about two people who make each other a better person and know that they like each other. Idk I just feel like this song describes them perfectly (from Lily's perspective)

Gorgeous - okay so this Sirius to Remus or Regulus to James because I think it just sums up how the black brothers act around their crush perfectly

Getaway Car - James, Lily & Regulus, though I'm not sure how I like it better; Regulus being the Getaway Car or Lily. In the end neither of the relationships work out just like they fail in canon (by being murdered lol). It also reminds me a little of Remus, Sirius & Grant, or maybe (and I might actually like this one the best) Regulus leaving Barty for James

King Of My Heart -this is Regulus to James. "Late at night, the city's asleep" pretty much them in choices, only ever neeting when everyone else is in bed. "Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep" from his family because they ruin everything.

DWOHT - Again, Starchaser all the way. "I loved you in spite of deep fears that the world would devide us." Literally James & Reg since they knew they were on different teams in the war. Generally, I think this is Reg's perspective just because then he's the one who keeps having a bad feeling and whose "love had been frozen" before they got together.

Dress - MacEvans, MacEvans, MACEVANS! It's literally them when they realize they have a crush on the other. They're flirting without anyone else noticing, everything hidden away because it's still so new to them. "I don't want you like a best friend" HELLO??? That's them. Period.

TIWWCHNT - this is Sirius "the Drama queen" Black. I have no idea who he's saying this to but it's him. For sure. (Although it also works for (fanon) Barty)

CIWYW - this is wolfstar from Sirius' perspective. Sirius who made out with quite a lot of girls before realizing he has a massive crush on one of his best friends and now (some) people are talking shit about them but Sirius doesn't care he has Remus and that's great. Also, this song is about independence in the relationship which just makes sense for Sirius, considering he grew up in a controlling house and probably wants to feel free after escaping Grimmauld Place

New Year's Day -again, wolfstar. They just...idk it just fits. They're together while the World around them is messy and at times that mess finds a way into their relationship but they try to work through it

[t1oui]

here are some recs from my bookmarks !!

first of all, soliloquies by staringathesun. this came out today as part of the ttpd fest and it was so good !! (rated E)

slow endings by rweoutofthewoods - not exactly jegulus, but harry finding out about jegulus after the fact ft narcissa and andromeda. pretty cute, also just a oneshot. (rated T)

the hot topic of james potter's virginity by miriamMT - this was a fun read, i've read it a few times now. james is SUCH simp lmaooo (rated E)

peter pettigrew and the ghost of christmas james by gonzoclock - this one is DEFINITELY a bit of a stretch but it's one of my favorite fics ever so i just had to recommend it. it centers on peter with background jegulily. jegulily isn't together for long before the fic ends, but there is SO MUCH jily pining for regulus at the WORST times. like they are fr growing as a couple over being in love with him and it's so fun to read. (rated T)

when i get home, i'm going to bury you... by sunbiscut (cowboytarlos) - hurt/comfort muggle au oneshot featuring sirius finding out and reg comforting james after effie and monty die. sad but i've read it so many times. rated G but should probably be T or M because of some descriptions of throwing up and dead people :(

even in the darkest times by touchlikethesun - this one made me cry. another harry finding out after the fact au via letters from james in reg's room. angsty but i loved it. (rated T)

and finally, not to toot my own horn (i'm tooting my own horn), but i'll also provide a link to my oneshot if you stayed :) features a muggle au of jegulus raising harry in that reg is looking after harry while james works in exchange for a place to stay. i've been looking into a few ideas for sequels but nothing's set in stone yet. (rated G)

hope some of these help, happy reading :D

Dropping out the heavy grocery bags by the door was the last thing Regulus did before throwing his body on the couch with a huff. He was worn out and therefore certain he could sleep forty hours straight and still feel tired.

He took a glimpse at the door — still open — debating whether he should make the effort of getting up from his comfortable position to shut it or not. His gaze fell on the vibrant red converse shoes sitting by the doorstep.

His lips twitched in a knowing smile.

It was in this hard pondering that he heard the muffled singing from upstairs. Out of tune and completely off beat, that could only be the voice of his boyfriend.

Of course, it didn't make any sense that someone else would be showering in his bedroom, but yes, that was definitely James’ excitement singing to I Loved You First by One Direction.

“That's an old one,” Regulus mumbled, leaning against the bathroom wall as he inspected the curly haired with a mess of shampoo falling in his eyes. A vision he had been rather accustomed to by now, but he still enjoyed watching.

James blinked quickly, shoving water in his eyes to be able to see the blurred image of his boyfriend's small frame since he didn't have his glasses on.

“Reg!”

“James,” Regulus replied amusedly, taking a few steps forward. The song ended and switched to You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift. He sighed. “Same playlist?”

James beamed fondly, opening the shower stall to hug Regulus, who backed away and pointed a finger at him threateningly “No. You stay there. You're making everything wet.”

“Am I?” James sent him a wriggle of eyebrows. “Then get in here, baby.”

Regulus scowled, “James. Not in that way. Literally. Just because you don't have your glasses on doesn't mean things aren't happening.”

James laughed, almost slipping on his own feet if Regulus hadn't jumped in and held him by the shoulders. “You don't know how to stand still?” he shook his head, brushing some of James’s raven curls back.

He ends up getting his cheeks smeared with his boyfriend's scented peach shampoo and a wet kiss on his lips. Regulus sighed in contentment, annoyance slipping away like water down the drain.

Until James pulled him in completely. Regulus cried out because of the cold water. His clothes immediately getting damp and sticky to his limbs. James brushed his hair back just as he had done to him previously, the fondest gaze being directed to the boy in his arms as he caressed his cheeks and the back of his neck.

“Hi.” James cups his cheeks as his eyes locked into gray ones he'd love to drown in.

“I'm going to kill you.” Regulus attempts to scowl but the warmth of James’ hands doesn't let him do any other action but melt under his touch.

James leaned in for another kiss and Regulus pinched his elbow, breaking the spell between them, and earns a shriek in surprise.

“You pinched me!” James exclaims rubbing the abused spot.

“You've wet all of my clothes.” Regulus said in a flat tone for good comparison.

“I'd do it again because of that attitude, Mr. Black,” James let out in a low whisper, cleaning up the shampoo in the boy's cheek gently. “We're saving up water,” he added with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Regulus pressed his lips together, “You're an idiot.”

“I'm your idiot.”

“Such a sap,” Regulus wraps both hands around James’ waist and they fit there perfectly like they always do. Regulus pulls him closer and sees James’ lips quirk upwards on one side. “But, yes. My idiot.” he mumbles, bumping their noses softly, long eyelashes tickling his cheeks.

James hums, tilting his head to peck his lips. “You took your time in Sirius' apartment.”

Regulus rolls his eyes, “He was in need of advice. The twat.”

James snickers in amusement, “Okay. And what was the advice about?”

A smirk spread around Regulus’ face as he started to play with James’ curls again, not much damp now since the shower had been turned off.

“Wouldn't you like to know.”

James blinks, “Oh,” his groan is inevitable. “You and Sirius have little secrets now? That ended so well last time.”

Regulus chuckles softly, “Yeah. But we're still the ones that can actually keep secrets, it didn't end well because you found out.”

“Hey,” James pouts, poking his cheek “Remus found out, too.”

“That wasn't the issue, darling.” James sighs, laying his face in the croak of Regulus’ neck, causing him to shiver slightly. “What?” Regulus prompts, running a hand through James’ arm.

“I love it when you call me that.”

Regulus pressed his lips against his temple, “Darling?”

James hums in his neck, closing the already minimum space by involving his arms around his boyfriend's shoulders.

“We should dry up.” Regulus chimes after a moment of blissful silence. He was sure James was falling asleep standing upright. Then the image of the grocery bags and the open door causes him to grumble in annoyance. “I haven't stowed the groceries yet.”

James leans back, forehead creasing in a confused frown, “You went grocery shopping? Why didn't you call me?”

Regulus shrugged, “I had my car.”

“Did you come up with all of it?”

“Was I supposed to leave it in the lobby, my darling?” Regulus smiles as James scrunched his nose in exasperation. “'s fine. Wasn't that heavy.”

“We were supposed to go together later in the evening, you stubborn git.”

“I was thinking that we could do something else instead, actually.” Regulus retorts, “If you want to.”

“Name it, baby,” James says. “I'll do whatever you want me to.” Regulus couldn't control the blush that would eventually coat his cheeks every time James would say things like that even before they became serious. Here he is, three years later, heart beating faster and neck warming up at the mere comment he receives every single day. James gives him a smile in satisfaction and kisses him again. “Remus would call me a simp now,” he mutters against his lips.

“Because you are,” croaks out Regulus, fluttering his eyes shut in delight as James begins kissing the side of his neck and down his collarbones. “James,” he calls in a compromised voice. James leans down to his torso and he knows he has to stop or they would be doing much more with the front door not only unlocked but wide open. “Darling, hey. James.” When James finally stands back up, Regulus hands him the towel and leaves the shower stall in a hurry.

“Where are you going?” James asks as if Regulus is leaving to go to War. He grips the towel, steps out of the stall and starts drying his body quietly. When he hears nothing, he calls out dramatically, “Baby! Come back to me!”

“Stop acting as if I left you forever,” Regulus walks back into their room after rightfully locking the door just as James exits the bathroom. Towel around his hip and glasses on his face helping him see everything clearly. A laugh blurts out of him when he takes in his boy's disheveled state: dark blue t-shirt and black trousers completely wet. “Are you laughing at me? You made me into a wet penguin, happy?” Regulus complains while rolling his eyes.

“Very.” James says non-apologetically. “Looking beautiful as always.”

Regulus slips the sticky t-shirt off of him and the pants are the next to go. James halts on his way to their closet to get dressed and pursue his lips in thought.

“Is that a test?” He asks suggestively, tilting his head.

Regulus flips him off and follows to the bathroom. James chuckles to himself, making a mental note to put a warm jumper of his on the bed so he could render his lover a little bit less annoyed at him.

They meet in the living room after Regulus is done with his long shower. His descending the stairs when James soft humming reaches his eardrums. The smell of coffee draws him to the kitchen.

Jamea greets him with a cup and a kiss on the cheek, muttering a soft “for you, baby” and steps back to rummage through the grocery bags. He was almost finished stowing the items away.

“Thank you,” he could hear Regulus smile without turning to look at him. “Need any help?”

James shakes his head, “No. Almost done. D'you want to watch a movie?” His eyes then glimmer in remembrance, “Unless what you have planned requires us to...”

Regulus lowers the cup to answer, “I made dinner reservations. At eight. We've got time.”

“Where?” James inquired curiously, closing the fridge as he finished with the groceries.

“Wouldn’t you like to know.” Regulus smirks knowing that James gets pissed off by this sentence. That earns him a soft poke in the ribs.

“Stop being so annoying.”

“You love me like this.”

“That I do,” James rolls his eyes fondly, following to the couch and throwing himself on it. He waits for Regulus to approach, place the cup of coffee on the coffee table and lay down on the space he left for him. Their limbs knit together as soon as he does. “Cute outfit.”

An arm hooked its way to the middle of James’ back, cold hands causing him to flinch slightly.

“Thank you. It belongs to me.” Regulus let out in a whisper. James didn't disagree because every sweater, every shirt, every fabric of his at some point had fitted Regulus’ frame. Even if way bigger than the clothes he usually wears. It's how I like it. Regulus insists.

James likes it too.

“Every ounce of my being belongs to you,” He said, tracing the path to each mole on his pale boy's face until it reached the old white line at his right cheek. Regulus was drifting off already but he felt the familiar outline of a star made by soft touches in the spot. “So yes,” James leans down to kiss the scar. “You're kind of right.”

He was. Yes.

No words needed to be said to the fact that Regulus was unmistakably his, too.

“We should dance to the refrigerator light.” James blurts out after a while. Too much silence, he couldn't handle it for a long period of time.

Regulus tapped his chest, humming drowsily in a way of quietly agreeing with him. He didn't know what he was agreeing to but he'd do whatever James wanted. Let's throw ourselves out of the building? Jump in the ocean with sharks? Tell Sirius his hair isn't pretty? Yes to all of the above.

James’ lips twitch slightly, studying his boyfriend's sleepy state. He rests his cheek on top of Regulus’ head and the sweet smell of his curls make him feel safe and right at home. He falls asleep not soon after.
