position - jegulus - @into-the-jeggyverse - NSFW - word count: 171

“Okay. Favorite position, then?” Sirius asked the room at large, drink in hand, having just gone on a ten-minute rant about the Wimborne Wasps and how likely they were to win the World Cup.

James blinked. It was a strange question, but he’d long ago stopped overthinking his best friend’s antics. “Probably against a wall. Or…sounds stupid, but just facing each other. I like to look into his eyes, you know? It’s…it makes it so much more intense.”

There was a very awkward silence as everyone in the small flat stared at him. Sirius, for his part, made a nauseated expression.

“I…think Padfoot was asking about Quidditch positions. Like, which position on the team is your favorite,” Remus said lightly from next to his boyfriend, sipping at his wine. 

“Interesting answers, though,” Barty Crouch said from his spot on the couch, smirking widely. “And very interesting that you said ‘he.’ Who’s ‘he,’ Potter?”

But James was too busy looking at Regulus, who was bright red and clearly holding back a laugh.

Incorrect quotes based on my friend group.

Regulus: I really like this guy, but I don’t think he feels the same way.

Remus, staring at Regulus dressed head to toe in James’ wardrobe: Yeah… no, he’s definitely not interested.

i love the potter to james to jamie transition amen

[moonyswarmsweaters]

James, worried: Something's wrong with Regulus!

Sirius: What is it? Is he hurt?

James: No, but he's constantly staring at me and smiling... like he's very happy.

Sirius: He's just in love.

James, sad and jealous: With whom?

Sirius, sighing: With a fucking idiot.

living together jegulus but Regulus wasn't aware of even the existence of Easter. imagine his surprise when he wakes up on a "random" Sunday and James pulls him through the floo to potter manor and hands him a basket.

he spends the day following James around as he searches for the chocolate eggs that Effie and Monty have hidden around the property. Sirius, Remus, Peter, lily, Mary and Marlene all doing the same as James.

at the end of the day he has a full basket, not that he picked many up but because James placed half his own into the basket. claiming that he "needs a proper Easter experience"

even once the two of them have grown to have creaking bones and frail skin, Regulus looks back on his first Easter Sunday with fondness.

[yoursdeadlynightshade]

Regulus gets jealous. Yes.

And James?

Oh..

James gets possessive.

[serenisastar]

You best believe when i say that regulus black is the clingiest most needy bitch on the planet

He’s like a fussy little cat, like the type that swats you in the face when you look away from it

He’s walking up to James at all hours of the day and just snuggling in like in the morning he’ll literally just lift James’ arm back up and put it back on himself when James has to go

He gets sad whenever James has to go to work and James is having to stroke his hair and promise cuddle time later to appease him and this is after like an hour of him sniffling to try and get James to give him “just one more hug”

On James’ first date with regulus (which was probably to a museum or art gallery) while waiting outside he found this really cool looking rock and just had to pick it up and put it in his pocket. The date goes well and all and they plan to have a second so James puts the special rock on his bedside table. At the second date James finds another rock and takes it home. By the time they start dating it’s become a thing, during every date James finds a cool rock, takes it home and adds it to his collection. One day Regulus finds his jar full of rocks and asks what it’s about. James is then able to recall exactly which date each rock is from. Regulus falls even deeper in love with his nerd boyfriend.

@into-the-jeggyverse // reporter // 411 words // a love confession @bloodbruise

“You’re getting on my nerves, James.” Regulus storms off into the kitchen, his hands gripping the counter as if the marble could supply the air he needs to breathe right now. 

“Answer my question.” James follows him instantly. Regulus doesn’t need to turn to know exactly which leg James is resting on, that one hand is on his hip and the other on his hair. 

“Who are you? A reporter?” Regulus asks as if it was a punishment. He’s being mean, he knows. If James leaves tonight he can at least point to this moment and tell himself it had nothing to do with him not being enough.  

“Don’t fuck with me.” James is hurt. 

Regulus hates himself right now. James’ voice is stern, deeper in a way he had only heard whispered next to his ear when James touched him. He still wants James.  

He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. Regulus used to wonder if there would come a time where there would be no more of him to give to James, maybe this was it. 

“Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to.”

“You fucked him.” James acknowledges quietly, barely loud enough for Regulus to listen. 

“No.” He replies quickly. 

They remain in silence for a moment. Each of them is a soldier stopping in the middle of a battlefield to evaluate their own wounds.

“Then what could be so bad you won’t tell me?” 

Regulus can feel James walking towards him, his arm reaching for the back of his shirt. Regulus is a weak man. Denying James Potter of anything felt like a sin. 

“I broke it off.” He confesses.

“Reg.”

“No! Don’t ‘Reg’ me. Gideon and I are fucking done is that you wanted to hear?” His voice grows with every word because he needs James to know. 

“Reg.” James pleads.

Finally, Regulus turns to face him. 

 “Are you happy now? I can’t even go on a fucking date without thinking about you. I can’t hear anyone laugh without picturing yours. He ordered a stupid drink and all I could think is what you would’ve gotten. I am fucked, James.” He allows himself to breathe for the first time since he got home. “You won.”

“Reg.”

“What James? WHAT!?” He feels his body turn as James pulls him closer, the callused palm that had held his face just this morning holds him just as gently once more and-

“I’m going to kiss you now.”

“Jamie?”

Instantly, James, who was laying on the end of Regulus’s bed, looked up and over to Regulus. “Yeah, baby?”

“Will you go down to lunch and see if they have any treacle tart left? I’m hungry,” Regulus asked, pouting just slightly.

It was as if the Gryffindor couldn’t move quick enough. “Of course! Be right back, love!” With a quick kiss to Regulus’s lips, he was gone.

Barty, on his own bed, snorted. “Wow. You have him well-trained.”

Dorcas, who was on the floor, sat up. “Trained?” she repeated, grimacing.

“‘Course. You gotta train whoever you’re with, Cas. Make sure you get what you need,” Barty replied, smirking.

It was only then that Evan, who was on his own bed, looked up. “Yeah, Barty?” he asked quizzically.

The way he asked made Barty’s heartbeat kickstart into double-time. “Yes,” he told his boyfriend, trying to keep a poker face. 

Silently, Evan closed his book and stood, walking so slowly towards Barty that the tension built to an unbearable amount. He only stopped when he was right by Barty’s bedside, towering over him, eyes boring into Barty’s very soul. Suddenly, Barty forgot how to think. How to breathe.

“What have you trained me to do, Barty?” Evan asked softly, leaning forward, head tilting slightly to the side.

“I…” Words? What were they?  Still, nobody in the room spoke or moved. Barty’s mouth was dry. And when had it gotten so hot?

Abruptly, Evan pulled back, turning and breaking eye contact. Then, he walked to his spot on the bed, he reclined again, before looking around. “Oh. I left my book near you. Barty, can you bring it here?” he asked innocently.

Bring Evan the book. That was his only job in life. Springing to his feet, Barty nearly tripped on his own sock in his eagerness to hand the novel over, before stepping back nervously. Merlin, Evan was perfect.

The laughter reminded him that Dorcas and Regulus were there. “Oh, somebody’s well-trained,” Dorcas chuckled, wiping tears of mirth from her eyes. “But I don’t think it’s the person you thought.”

he did......the song came out in 1962. his parents were older than most so he probably grew up on the song. in fact:

his parents, esp monty, would hold or rock baby/toddler james while singing that song

effie and monty would dance to the song in the kitchen while james watched in the background and they would sing to him

when effie and monty sent james off on the train the first year, they both loudly called him "pretty little baby" and he pretended to be embarrassed but deep down he knew he was really going to miss his parents

the first time james ever sang it was when sirius had his first nightmare in year one dorms and bc james always calmed down and felt safer when his parents sang it to him, he sang it to sirius (platonic prongsfoot beginnings)

the second time james sang it was to regulus when they were slow dancing in the room of requirement and the song was playing on the stereo

james always singings it on reg's worst dysphoria days

canon compliant ending:

the third and fourth (and probably fifth and sixth and...) times james sang it was to baby harry after he was born

hc ending:

after regulus/barty/james/evan get together and barty "messes up" and does some impulsive shit bc he's worried that james doesn't like him and also he wants to impress james and in the aftermath he just breaks down in front of james and james just holds him and sings pretty little baby

around the same time evan gets really insecure that he's "too weird" or "freakish" for james and so he goes to james for comfort and reassurance and james sings it

after they all move into a flat together after they all graduate, they slow dance in the kitchen lazily having a good time in each others presences and the song is playing on the stereo and it's giving james flashbacks to his parents (bonus points if baby harry is there watching in a high chair) (james definitely changes it to "pretty little babies")

rip james potter you would have loved singing pretty little baby

Okay so fic idea. There's a big fire in the Gryffindor common room and the Gryffindors have to share the room with students from other houses. Why they can't fix it immediately I don't know, probably have to investigate the cause or something. Anyways Dumbledore wants Sirius to share with his brother but since they don't speak to each other James volunteers to share with them. At first obviously it's all horrible for the boys because James is just too fucking happy all the time but then Regulus and James begin talking. Haven't thought any further than that but obviously they're the loves of their life

[ezkel]

James Potter who can read minds and has a crush on Regulus.

Regulus who's first thought when he sees James is "huh" and then from then on has absolutely zero thoughts in his head when he's around James. Insults coming out because his brain is just throwing stuff out there and hoping it sticks. He sees James and he's so mesmerized that there's nothing in his head.

James assumes Regulus just doesn't care enough about him to think of him. (He's also a little concerned that Regulus seemingly doesn't have a thought process.)

Then one day James approaches Regulus without him noticing and hears how fast, rapid and loud Regulus' thoughts usually are, only for Regulus to notice him and it all immediately becomes silent.

[we-were-born-to-be-free]

The lights were too bright and too dim for James Potter when he walked into the Gryffindor common room party. The blaring music was already giving him a headache although he just walked in.

He didn't want to be there, but since he won Gryffindor the title of Quidditch Champions, he was obligated to attend the party. He was immediately swarmed by people giving him pats on his back and side hugs of congratulations.

But he wasn't bothered.

Something was on his mind- more like someone. He hadn't seen Regulus all afternoon after winning the match. But more than excited, James was nervous. Nervous because he'd made a bet on the match with Remus. If Gryffindor win, James has to ask Regulus out in front of the crowd at the party. If they lose, then James owes him 100 galleons.

As soon as James's gaze fell onto the younger Black brother, he walked straight towards him, his heart pounding in his ears. Ignoring everyone's hands on him, he says to Regulus, his voice louder than the rest.

"Regulus, I- well, you see Remus and I- uhm-" James stuttered, his face heating up

Regulus laughed and that only made it worse for James. "Oh fuck it," he mutters, "Regulus Black, would you care to go out with me this weekend? And not like on a walk, as in on a date," James spoke hurriedly, as if to get it over and done with.

He braces himself for rejection, already looking like a kicked puppy when Regulus replies, "Tomorrow at 8 works alright for you?" James looks at him in shock. Did he... hear that right? That was basically a marriage proposal from James and Regulus basically said yes!

"Yes, yes 8 is perfect, lovely, wonderful, I'll see you then!" James runs off to tell Remus about this wonderous event, leaving Regulus questioning why he even said yes.

A/N: I'm so sorry this is terrible don't come for me please
