Harry Potter One Shots

25 - Jegulus

3rd Person

Quietly, James sneaks out of the Marauders dorm room, trying not to alert the three sleeping teens there. After getting out of the room he lets out a deep breath and walk into the common room, only to be startled to see a half awake Marlene Mckinnon sitting on the couch, leading over a stack of papers and books.

"Now, do I even want to why you are doing school work now?" He asks, assuming that if he uses the conversation to talk about her he would be safe from her questioning.

"To be fair it's only midnight," she starts and then her head dips and down in her hand. "But I am extremely tired, this is what I get for trying to give my girlfriend a good birthday yesterday."

"You know what, I'll just leave you to it. See you tomorrow Marlene, try not to stay awake too long."

"Sounds good, see you later Potter, try not to get an STD in the mean time."

"Okay." He get halfway out of the room before realising what she had said. "Wait, I- I'm not-" he stutters, a look of pure discomfort on his face. When he realises that there is no way out of this he caves. "How did you know?"

"Please, " she says, slightly concerned by his doubt. "I always know. Plus you are fully dressed and look like you haven't slept at all. Also I've notice you sneak out almost every night, so there weren't many options about where you are going. The only question is who, and I know for a fact it isn't Lily."

"I can't tell you, and please don't tell anyone you saw me. Now I really gotta go, they're gonna be mad if I'm late, bye."

With that he walks out of the common room and down to the room of requirement. "Hello gorgeous," he smiles when he sees the boy sitting on the couch.

"You're late Potter, " Regulus states, annoyed, though it doesn't last long as he found it difficult to stay mad at him.

"I know, I know, I ran into someone on my way here. Don't worry they didn't find out that I'm seeing you so we're fine."

"We're not seeing each other. We are simply hanging out."

"And kissing, and cuddling, and sleeping together. Now I don't know the rules or anything, but that certainly sound like we are seeing each other to me." James says smugly.

"We aren't," the younger boy insisted. "To be clear though, if you are seeing anyone else I will personally ruin every single aspect of your face."

"Noted," James says and sits on the couch next to Regulus, wrapping his arm around him and pulling him onto in lap. "I missed you," he whispers into the crook of Regulus' neck were his head in placed.

"You saw me last night."

"Yes, but I haven't been able to touch you, or tell you how utterly captivating you look all day." James says, kissing the pale expanse of his neck gently.

This causes Regulus to blush slightly and get an odd feeling in his stomach, not that this was new. The boy seemed to have a talent for getting him to have feeling he never did before, and though he refused to admit it, Regulus loved it.

Leaning his head over to give James more room he comments, "You're clingy," causing him to stop kissing him and look down. Noticing the effect of his words he places a kiss on James' lips and quietly adds, "I missed you too," surprising himself with his actions.

The messy haired teen then continues his attack until he leaves multiple purple marks. Once finished he stands up, wrapping Regulus's legs around his waist and walks them over to the bed. Once they are both laying down he pulls Regulus so that he is halfway on top of him.

Placing his chin on James' chest he looks up at him and starts playing with his hair. "Merlin you're gorgeous," he whispers, thinking that he is asleep.

He then is terrified when he hears him respond with, "What did you say?"

"Nothing," he answers a little too quickly. "I said Merlin you're enormous, go to sleep."

Knowing what he actually said, Potter wraps his arms around the boy and quickly falls asleep, Regulus not far behind.
