Regulus leaned in expectantly to kiss James, caressing his face with his hands softly, scared to break the precious smile on his lovingly gorgeous face.

Suddenly, without any warning, James pulled back with a weirdly nervous look on his face mixed with a strange expression of anger.

"Reg, I just, I have to know, have you ever, uh, kissed Barty by any chance?" James questioned awkwardly.

Regulus lowered his hands, completely confused by the quick change in the atmosphere without letting it show on his face. He took a short moment to compose himself lest he sounded hurt and probed the reason for this unnecessary pause that prevented him from kissing his boyfriend, "Why do you ask, James?"

"Well, nothing, really. It's just that Dorcas might have said something earlier today along those lines," James answered, sounding annoyed which was unusual for James. He's rarely annoyed unless it has something to do with Snape.

"Oh, did she? Do you believe her?" Regulus inquired, seeing how far James would be willing to take this.

"I don't. I just have to know. And I don't think Dorcas would lie. Besides, who would want to kiss someone like Barty?" James asked pointedly, scrunching his face in mild irritation.

Regulus realized the issue and decided to go straight for the prize, he asked smirking, "Are you jealous, James?"

"I'm not jealous, just curious." James declared in mock offence.

Regulus let it go, deciding that James could deny it all he wanted if that was what gave him peace.

Ten minutes later, they were right back where they started. Their lips met and James withdrew harsher this time. He got up from the sofa and distanced himself.

Without meeting Regulus' eyes, James growled, "I just need to know, Reg. Have you or have you not kissed Barty?"

Regulus burst into laughter. James looked at him in confusion. In between fits of laughter, Regulus exclaimed, "Salazar! You are jealous.”
