“It’s not that I don’t want to, I just don’t want to, you know?” Regulus tells James.

“Yeah, I know.” James says. “But hey… you wanted to try things outside your comfort zone—"

“I meant things like sky diving or bungee jumping. Not this.” Regulus drops his head in his hands.

“You don’t have to if you really don’t want to.” James tells him.

“Yes, I do!” Regulus grumbles. “Plus… I want to...” He whispers after a moment. “I just don’t want to.” He adds after another beat of silence.

James chuckles beside him and Regulus lifts his head up with a glare.

“This is not funny.” He tries to snap but it comes out as more of a pout.

“I’m sorry.” James smiles sweetly. “But I do think you’re overthinking it a little. It’s just my mum.”

“Just your mum!?” Regulus repeats. “Your mum who I have never met, I’ve never even talked to, and now I’m going to call her on the phone, and I hate talking on the phone. I think I can overthink that a little!”

“It won’t be that bad. You’ll call, thank her for the gift, and that’s it. It’ll take five minutes then you’re done.” James tries to tell him. “Do you want me to call her first then I can hand it over to you?” He asks.

“No.” Regulus says firmly after thinking about it for a moment. “I want to. It means more if I call her.” He explains. “I just don’t want to.” He mumbles.

James chuckles again and Regulus glares at him. He holds his hands up in mock surrender, holding his phone in one of his hands.

“Ugh, you know what?” Regulus snaps then grabs the phone. “Just give me that.”

Regulus stands up, takes a deep breath and hits call before he has a chance to change his mind.

Two hours later

“Hey Reg?” James walks into the living room. “Do you think I can have my phone back?”

“Shush!” Regulus waves him off. “Sorry Effie, keep going.”

Regulus is sitting on the couch trying to keep his knee from bouncing up and down. His palms are sweaty, there’s a knot in his stomach and a lump in his throat. He tries to take a deep breath and his shoulders slump forward slightly, until he hears the sound of heels approaching and his back snaps up straight.

She enters the room and takes a seat in the chair across from him.

“So…?” She asks.

He takes another deep breath and looks her right in the eye.

“I want to marry your son.” He tells her.

Effie is on her feet in less than a second pulling him into a tight hug.

“Monty, get in here!” She yells excitedly without loosening her grip on him. She turns her head and kisses his cheek, and all the nerves leave his body as he melts into her hug.

Prompt 29 - Complex

@jegulus-microfic June 29, Word count 484

Previous part First part

He had Regulus in his arms again. He kept close to him, he wasn’t going to make the mistake of leaving a gap big enough for someone else to sneak into again. Regulus was just relaxing into him when. 

“Yoohoo! James, darling!” His mother called across to him from the bar. He buried his head in Regulus's neck and groaned. Why on earth were they here? He could feel Regulus snickering under him. He turned his head and saw Sirius mooning over his dad and had no doubt in his mind who had invited his parents. “James, darling, over here!” Effie waved at him her arms above her head. He groaned again but slowly led Regulus over to them. 

“Mum, Dad, what are you doing here?” He asked with a strained smile as his mother wrapped him in a hug. When she finally let go, she pulled Regulus into his arms.

“Sirius here invited us. He said it would be fun,” Effie told him. 

“And fun it shall be!” Sirius cheered. “SHOTS!!!” He handed everyone a shot. James’s jaw dropped when both his parents threw them back and accepted another. 

“SHOTS!!!” A mass of blonde hair raced towards them. Marlene skidded to a stop and Sirius poured the drink into her mouth. “WOOHOO!!!!” She cried at the top of her lungs. Dorcas came trailing in behind her. 

“Babe, chill, the night’s not even started yet,” Dorcas laughed at her over-enthusiastic fiancé.

“EFFIE!!!!” Marlene cried and jumped into his mum’s arms, wrapping her legs around her waist. 

“Marlene my sweet girl, how are you?” Effie hugged her tightly. 

“I’m engaged!” Marlene squealed, showing her the ring on her finger. 

“Mary,” Effie turned towards the bar. “We are going to need more shots!” Everyone cheered apart from James. Monty came over to him and patted his shoulder. 

“Better drink that shot son, I think you’re going to need it.” He chuckled and winked mischievously at Regulus before sinking another shot and letting Sirius drag him out onto the dance floor. James threw back the shot and took another off the bar. 

“I’m sorry I made you lose the bet with Sirius,” He sighed to Regulus. “This is just going to be hell,” 

“Shut up and have another shot,” Regulus reached over and grabbed two from Mary. They clinked them together and drank. 

He looked over the dance floor and wished he hadn’t. His parents were fully embracing the evening and were dancing along with his friends. His dad was cringingly attempting to do the robot and his mother. He covered his eyes, not wanting to see that. She was twisting her hips in a complex pattern wiggling in a way he’d never wanted to see his mother do, ever, with Marlene and Pandora. 

“Reg, please can we go home?” He begged. Regulus got that wicked glint in his eye and James knew he wasn’t getting out of here anytime soon.
