"So, what is it? What's the reasoning behind it?"

James arched an eyebrow at Barty, waiting for his explanation. Barty, however, crossed his arms and stared, his expression expectant.

"What do you mean?" James sighed. He'd been nervous to meet Barty for this exact reason. He knew how protective of Regulus he was. He cursed Regulus internally for going to the bathroom and leaving him alone with Barty.

"You reason for dating him," Barty drawled, rolling his eyes. "What's the draw? Is it that's a Slytherin? That people don't expect you two to be together? Or is the novelty that he's Sirius's brother? Or maybe-"

"I love him," James cut him off, staring straight into his eyes challengingly. "It's not some sort of...rebellion or whatever. And I don't care if you think it is. I'll love him either way."

Barty held his gaze for a moment before breaking into a grin. "Well. You must love him a lot if you're willing to sit here with me, so I guess I believe you."

@jegulus-microfic / trophy / 198 words / first kiss

“What do you want? A trophy?” Regulus scoffed.

“Something like that, yeah,” James took a step closer, a smirk on his face. 

“I’m not patient enough to guess, James.”

“A kiss, Regulus,” he said teasingly. 

Regulus felt a blush creeping up his cheeks and quickly responded before James could notice, “Whatever, get it over with.”

It was like slow motion—he watched as James leaned down, felt his hands finally touch the back of his neck, one hand tangling in his curls, the other gently holding his face. And then, James' lips pressed softly against his. 

Oh.

They had been driving each other mad for months, swearing they couldn’t stand one another. Maybe it had always been this—the denial, the frustration, all building up because deep down, this was what they both wanted. Regulus knew it now, maybe he’d known from the first moment he laid eyes on James Potter, or perhaps from the first time he heard him laugh. But now, tasting him, feeling him this close, there was no denying it. 

James pulled back slightly, their lips still barely touching. “Regulus,” he whispered.

“Not yet, don’t stop,” Regulus breathed.

He wanted James. He wanted all of him.

Prompt 21 - Authentic

@jegulus-microfic September 21, Word count 129

Dorcas held it up to the light as she twirled it around in her fingers.

“Is it authentic?” She asked as the light bounced off it. 

“Of course, it’s authentic! He’s James bloody Potter! Do you really think he’d give it to Reg if it wasn’t legit?” Barty scoffed. 

“It is very pretty,” Pandora smiled dreamily as her eyes watched it rotating in Dorcas’s hold. 

“The big question that you’re all forgetting is who’s going to be his best man?” Evan piped up from the corner, mischief in his eyes. 

Regulus quickly reclaimed his engagement ring from Dorcas’s grasp, slipped it onto his left ring finger and darted out of the room before they could start hounding him. He did have a fiancé to get back to, after all.

September 9: carry | @jegulus-microfic | word count: 190

“Jamie, pleeeease.”

“Reg…”

“I’ll break up with you if you don’t.”

“Reg!”

“James, I might die.”

James’ laugh almost bubbled over and spilled out, but he held it in stoically. Regulus would kill him for laughing at him right now.

Regulus gave James a death stare so intense others might have cried from. Not James though. James merely smiled and finally relented.

“Okay, yes, I’ll carry you for a bit,” James told his boyfriend, who had been dragging his feet through the amusement park for the last hour. 

“Finally,” Regulus groaned, hopping up on James’ back and swinging his legs to circle James’ waist.

James caught him and squeezed his thighs lightly. He loved carrying him around like this. And he knew Regulus liked to be carried. So it worked out pretty well for them.

“So which ride did you want to go on next, love?” James asked.

“The one with the snakes,” his boyfriend answered sweetly, angry tone completely evaporated now that he’d gotten his wish.

“That one’s on the other side of the park…” James said slowly.

“I know.”

God, James loved that man. Truly. Bless his soul.

weapon - jegulus - September 20th - @stag-microfic - word count: 274

James could pinpoint the exact moment he truly fell in love with Regulus. The moment he knew he was head-over-heels, irrevocably, no-turning-back, gone for him.

After running away with Sirius, Regulus had been completely closed off. Though he lived with the Potters, he hardly looked at anyone there, let alone talked to James. But James found himself drawn to the standoffish younger boy. He wanted to get to know him. To talk to him. To care about him and care for him.

So when he heard a yell from Regulus's room one day, he went running. He had the undeniable urge to protect Regulus. To make him feel safe. To put his arms around him and guard him from harm.

When he entered through the threshold to find Regulus standing on his bed, shoe posed in his hand like a weapon, eyes wide, he got nervous for a second. Because in his mind, Regulus wasn't afraid of anything.

But then Regulus, wide-eyed and stuttering, demanded, "Kill the damn thing, Potter!"

And James realized. There was a small spider on the ground by the door.

"What...this?" he asked, gesturing to the bug.

"Yes! Kill it, now!" Regulus repeated, looking more terrified by the second.

And something deep inside James shifted. Because to see Regulus, who was usually so aloof and put together and unemotional so scared over a little spider was so endearing that he almost melted right then and there. He was forever changed. He was in love.

"Alright, Reg," he grinned softly, scooping the bug in his hands and throwing it out the window. "There you go."

His life was never the same.

monday snippet - thank u for the tag baby @c0mbatchameleon

“Shhh,” Regulus quickly hushed him.

“Oh, it’s not like they can hear us. They’re dead, Reggie,” Sirius replied, running his hand casually over one of the caskets.

“Hey! I can hear you perfectly fine!” someone a few inches taller than Sirius complained. Regulus’ heart raced as he brushed his eyes, trying to focus on the figure approaching them. Behind him was another figure, not as tall, who looked hesitant to join them.

As the figures stepped into the light, Regulus let out a small gasp and quickly ran to hide behind his brother’s back. From his spot, he cautiously looked up at Sirius, only to find his brother standing in absolute awe, at the sight of the creatures before them. Not a trace of apprehension clouded Sirius' gaze, and that made Regulus feel slightly braver.

Prompt 20 - Try Again

@jegulus-microfic September 20, Word count 76

“I tolerate your existence,” Regulus said as if the words tasted foul in his mouth. 

“Try again, love,” James purred, his eyes crinkling with his smile. 

“I enjoy your company,” Regulus said through gritted teeth. 

“I’m not leaving you alone until you say it,” James singsonged as he twirled one of Regulus’s curls around his finger. Regulus glowered at him. 

“Fine, I love you too,” James pulled him in close and rewarded him with a kiss. 

[moonyswarmsweaters]

Regulus: out for dinner with my boyfriend James and mid conversation I notice he's absolutely not listening to me but looking longingly at another table and making mad love eyes so I turn around Regulus: A fucking labradoodle is locked in a trance with him. Remus:
