snippet hour

Thank you for the tags @courfee, @arviyya, & @wolfpadx - I have loved reading all your snippets!! 💜💜 I'm so late to this, but here’s a snippet from a jegulus bingo fic I’m desperately trying to finish before the bingo deadline....

“Do you go to the gym this early every day?” Regulus attempts not to sound too eager or hopeful, he’s pretty sure he fails if the knowing smirk James gives him is anything to go by.

“Yeah, I like to get my WOD out of the way first thing in the morning.” James says casually.  

Regulus can feel his face flush and his eye widen. “Your… your wo… your… your what?” He stammers.

James’ smirk grows into something wicked. “My WOD. Workout of the Day.” He explains. “I like to do it in the morning, clears my head for the rest of the day.”

“Right… right, your wo… workout of the day. Right. That’s… that’s good.” Regulus' heart rate feels erratic, like he’s the one that just worked out for an hour. “Err… well… have a nice day, Mr. Potter.” He says quickly as he turns around and pretends to busy himself with his nonexistent work.  

“You can call me James.” James tells him again, a smug smile clear in his voice even though Regulus doesn’t turn around to see it.

He listens to James’ footsteps shuffle across the lobby and around the corner to the elevators. He doesn’t turn around until he hears the elevator doors close and he’s sure James is no longer there.

“Fuck.” Regulus releases the breath he didn’t realize he was holding.

He has another hour left of his shift and every second is spent completely distracted by thoughts of James Potter and his… ‘Workout of the Day’.
