Prompt 23 - Diving

@wolfstarmicrofic August 23, word count 435

“Come on Padfoot, stop being such a scaredy-cat!” Remus yelled from the pool below, slowly treading water. “Even Peter’s jumped from there!” Remus shouted again.

“Hey!” Peter splashed Remus. “What do you mean even Peter has? So rude!”

Sirius’s knees were knocking together at the top of the diving board. He’d had no idea he was afraid of heights before he climbed to the top of the ladder and stepped up to the edge of the bouncing board. He swallowed nervously and looked down again. He squeaked and took a clumsy step back. 

“Come on Padfoot!” They all called up to him. He watched as James hauled himself out of the pool and headed towards the ladder. Fuck. James was so just going to push him off. 

“Hey, Padfoot, if you jump I’ll snog ya!” Remus called, cupping his mouth with his hands to make sure Sirius heard him. 

Suddenly his fear was gone as he stared in disbelief at Remus bobbing below. He’d been trying for months, years, to get Remus to kiss him, and now he was just offering! He blinked, strode forward and jumped off the end. He heard an oof as his feet left the solid board and leapt into the air. He turned his head and James was falling with him. His body was flat in the air, not like the elegant bough Sirius’s body was stretched into. 

“Serves you right!” Sirius yelled a split second before they hit the water. He barely made a splash but James’s belly flop was so loud it echoed off the walls. Sirius could hear it under the water. 

He kicked out with his legs and pulled himself forward with his arms under the water, popping up directly in front of Remus. “You owe me a kiss,” He smirked. 

“Yes I do,” Remus murmured back, wrapping an arm around Sirius’s back and dragging him closer before pressing his chlorine-laced lips to Sirius’s. Sirius’s knees went weak, and he slipped from Remus’s arms under the surface of the water. He spluttered as he broke through the surface, trying to right himself. 

“No, that doesn’t count. I want a do-over. No!” He couldn’t believe he’d done that. After all this time and he'd swooned, what an idiot! 

“Hush, I’ll kiss you anytime you want,” Remus huffed out a laugh, dragging Sirius close again. Sirius relaxed. A grin that could eclipse the sun spread across his face. “You’re still a scaredy-cat though,” Remus snickered, kissing the top of his wet hair. Your scaredy-cat, Sirius’s brain supplied, and he hoped that one day soon it would be true.

YouTuber James x Editor Regulus

James is a YouTuber. He is big okay, like yes he started with vlogs and fairly common content but as he is very fun and outgoing and down to try anything and everything he becomes biig and now he makes movie production level videos of traveling, trying extreme scenarios, training for different stuff, like his youtube could be a reality tv show at this point.

Regulus has just escaped his house. He finally has some peace and is desperately trying to cling to it, does everything to keep it. He stays inside all the time so his family doesn’t find him, but he wants to do something with his time and make some money. Turns out he is really good at editing and he really enjoys it so he tries to pursue it seriously. This is when he gets hired to be an editor of James’s youtube channel.

James doesn’t know who his new editor is, he just knows that his team hired this new guy, who is really good but also doesn’t have a big work experience. So James starts leaving small messages in his videos, like “you should cut here”, “please do not put this in”, “the guy who is editing this, please make sure I don’t look absolutely stupid in this shot” stuff like that. It’s goofy, it’s sweet, it’s James in the most James way.

Regulus starts loving this, it’s like communicating with a guy who doesn’t know him but talks to him and only him specifically, it’s fun and makes hours of editing so fun.

He chooses to stay anonymous for safety reasons but chats with James about some editing questions and work related stuff. So when this chats become more regular James’s little messages in his videos become more frequent. Reg answers this with his editing like making funny cuts of James’s shots or like doing the opposite of what James asked in his videos, people love this. It becomes this known feud between James and his editor no one knows anything about. As this is very popular and knowing James he adores this “feud” they keep it up. They also keep up with chatting more and more, talking about more personal things. As the chatting gets more personal the video messages also get more personal, like James can be traveling and sees a book reg mentioned in chat and says “oh the editor guy, look what i’ve found, it’s the book you were ranting about” or like “oh I think you will like this view editor guy.”

Regulus realizes how much he loves this little video message and that he is genuinely slowly getting a massive crush on this goofy guy.

James also realizes on his end how he doesn’t even know the name of this guy, let alone how he looks or what type of person he really is.

It’s a really weird situation. One has a crush on a guy from a video he edits and the other has a crush on a guy who sits and edits him.

Will they meet? oh they will ;)

Will they find out more about each other? Of course!

Will there be black brothers drama? Of fucking course there will be, who do you think I am.

Will they live happily ever after? Abso fucking lutely they will!

James 'I tell you, one glance from him... I have to remind myself I'm not a fraud' Fitzjames.

James 'How any man achieves his post on an expedition is less important than how he spends it. And... well, that he measures up' Fitzjames

James "What else do you require? Respect? Well earn it " Fitzjames

James 'I'm a fake brother-A man like me... will do amazing things to be seen' Fitzjames

He's got everything. Insecurity. Bravado. An Inferiority Complex. Confidence. Vanity. Courage. He's bleeding out his scalp, the sockets of his teeth. He still keeps himself clean shaven until the end. His scars unknit and fill with pus and leak blood but he doesn't tell anyone. He keeps his uniform in order. He clings to the outside of himself, holds onto it like a drowning man as the inside rots and tries pulls him under.

He dies with a bloody sclera and greasy hair. With wound-ridden hands. In clothes soiled from sweat and dirt and blood. There is no glory for him here. There never was.

baker james who gets up extremely early to start making his bread and insomniac regulus who’s up late enough to walk past his bakery every morning

[theredumbrellatheory]

i cannaurt remember if i posted something about this already but i think about it prbly at least once a day — they're just so perfectly similar to me ❣️

[pandorasopenedbox3]

Unrequited pronstail is so special to me and I mean this both ways. I mean this James having a massive crush on Peter when they were like 9 and tripping over his own feet to make Peter happy and to get him to smile and say that they’re the bestest friends ever but slowly getting over it when they went to school and I also mean 13 year old Peter crushing so hard on James silently with no expectations bc he thought James was straight and then crying to Remus when James starts dating Regulus bc that means smt could have happened if he was just a complete coward for the last 3 years.

[atropinenightshade]

So I know Rafal is antisocial and all that, but I see him really famous at school despite that, and he'd be so MEAN for no reason. Like James would be snobbish and arrogant, but people would expect that from him, Rhian would be a people-pleaser, but Rafal would be straight up mean. And he would be a bully let's be fr

check tags please btw

James Potter as a character that has this large, boisterous ego that shows everyone he is what he is and that he is the best, the only person to ever exist to anyone, no matter what. James who knows who he is and will never change for anyone. James Potter who knows he will always be enough.

Lily Evans and Regulus Black, the only two people James Potter ever romantically loved, also being the only two people to wreck James’ self esteem so much that he questions if he will ever be enough. Lily who would not love him and Regulus who did not love him more than he feared his family. James who thinks, no matter what he does to try and prove himself to these people, he will never love them enough to make them love him the same. He will never be kind enough, or funny enough, or happy enough for them to actually see him and love him. James who still loves them anyway because even though they destroy him he still cannot not love.

James Potter as a character who was always enough but never to the people that mattered.

y'all ever think abt how it was julie having the affair and it is even said multiple times that she was the one who left him, yet wilson was still the one who left their home and moved in with house. like. he couldn't bear to stay in their home alone. he immediately ran to house and stayed on his couch for weeks. suffered through his pranks and his laziness and his manipulation. telling him he wants him gone while sabotaging his attempts to leave. and he only left once he got a girlfriend again.
