James lays awake thinking about the crush he just realized he had. He didn't realize it until he saw them kissing someone at the party the night before. 
He was previously hiding out in his room. Avoiding them. There wasn't actually away from James to avoid his new found feelings for long because the person would always be around him. 
Regulus Black. His best friends brother. He felt like a terrible person for this. But he couldn't help it. It didn't help that Regulus hated James with a passion, and for what? Only the youngest Black would know, because he sure didn't. He felt like he has treated the younger lad with care even when Sirius hated him. 
Sirius has recently been trying to mend his relationship with Regulus so he was always round even if he wasn't in our house. "James!" He heard his name being yelled. He jumped out of bed and look over toward Sirius. "GET UP!" He yells at James. James looked at him puzzled. "Why? It's Saturday?" Sirius stares at his best friend for a minute. Sensing something was off because James never forgets about a game, or their plans to so to Three Brooms after.
"You good mate?" Sirius arches his brow throwing off his robe and looking for he jersey for quidditch. 
"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" 
"Because we have a game in less then 2 hours and you're still in bed." James looks at his best friend for a good five minutes before he realizes what his best friend had just said. He immediately jumps out of bed running over to is draws grabbing his jersey. "FUCK! I forgot!" James throwing his stuff on and puts his shoes on. 
"That's a first." Sirius laughs turning around and looking at his best friend. "Why didn't you wake me up?" Sirius stares at James for a minute trying to figure out if he was joking. 
"I did. That's why you were up dumbass." James feels stupid for forgetting his game. He was the team leader he needed to remember these things. 
James shakes his head at his best friend and shrugs. "It was bound to happen." 
"Maybe, but anyway can Regulus borrow one of your jerseys? He lost a bet but mine aren't 'good enough for him' James gulps and looks at Sirius trying to come up with and excuse not to. He just realized he had a crush on the younger he didn't know if he could handle him wearing his clothes right now. "And you would think mine would be better? The lad hates me." Sirius laughs and nods. "I told him he only had to choices because the team had custom ones we don't have extras. He picked yours." James nods his head slowly feeling pain. He points at the second draw. "But I better get it back." Sirius laughs. "Will do. If he doesn't I give you full consent to hurt him." James laughs and jumps a few times. "Let's go." Sirius nods his head approvingly at his best friend. Glad he seems better with the mention of a game. 
"Everyone is meeting us downstairs no one wanted to see you naked," Sirius says walking out the door. 
"And you did?" James said teasing his best friend. Sirius rolls his head. "Nothing I haven't seen before." 
"True," 
They got down stairs and saw everything. He noticed Regulus immediately and next to him was the block from the party. This frustrated James so he looked away. Noticing Lily and Remus standing next to each other. Remus was wearing Sirius jersey. You would think they'd be dating by now but they weren't. To oblivious. and Lily was wearing one of James. He gave her is second year one when it didn't fit no more. Everyone thought they were dating after this, but honestly they never would, they saw each other as strictly friends "Thanks for the jersey," Regulus says to James as they walk out to the field. James nod at him not ready to speak to him. James looks over at Sirius talking to Remus. "Sirius where's Peter?" James jogs over toward they. "He weren't to go get food for everyone we are going to eat on the field." James nods his head at that, and hears Regulus and the Block- Kyle is his name. 
Everyone stands in a circle talking. James blocks out Sirius and Remus and looks over at Regulus. He had slipped on James jersey over his hoodie. James would never admit it out loud but he thought Regulus looked hot. "You ready for the game Potter?" Evans asks James. James head snaps toward her and he nods. "Yep, I haven't lost this far, doubt it'll happen now." James states hotheadingly. Sirius and Remus chuckle shaking their head at their best friend. "Don't get to hot headed yet Potter, we gonna bet you." James forgot about his crush for a second and looks Regulus in the eyes. 
"Says the one that's wearing my jersey." Everyone laughs around them including them. "That's because I lost a bet, don't get to hot headed about me wearing your jersey either." James raises his eye. "I heard you specifically asked to wear mine." 
"Because I wasn't going to wear Sirius's." Regulus rolls his eyes and so does James. "Mhm whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night." 
"I literally hate you." That stung James more then it has ever had. 
"I love you too," James says sarcastically. 

"ALRIGHT! EVERYONE OFF THE FIELD GAME TIME!" everyone walks off and to their designated area. Regulus and Kyle are seating are seating with the Gryffindor's because there wasn't no way they where sitting with their house with Regulus wearing James jersey. 
James watches as they all sit waving at them. 
"Sirius mate you ready?" James hears someone from the team asks, James looks to see that it is the new guy who has been flirting with Sirius for a while. This really upset Remus but James couldn't convince one of them to ask to other out, well and Remus had a boyfriend. James rolls his eyes and pulls Sirius away from the block not having time for Remus to question him on it later. Honestly if you where with someone else shouldn't you not be so concerned about someone, but according to Remus he just curious as a 'friend
"Thanks," Sirius says 
"Mhm,"
The game begins.


"YES!" James yells jumping off his broom and jumping on Sirius. "WE DID IT!! WE WON OUR LAST GAME!!!" They both scream and hug their team. "GOODJOB TEAM!" James shouts grinning. "Party tonight commons room!" They shout breaking away from each other and going to their own friend group. 
"Don't look so smug." Regulus states walking up to them with Kyle right next to him. James rolls his eyes and shoulders past them to Peter and Remus. Michael was right next to Remus. James looks around for his best friend. Seeing him talking to his brother he went and hugged Peter and Remus saying hey to Michael. James really didn't like him, he wasn't for sure if it was because of Sirius or the dudes personality. 
"Good job mate," Peter says patting James on the back. "Thank you,"
"Good job Sirius." Peter says looking behind James. James turns and look at his sad best friend, pulling him to be next to him. Best friend stick together. 
"Yeah good job Sirius you did really good!" Remus says James watches Sirius giving him a fake smile. 
"Thanks mate, you going to three brooms with us?" Sirius asks turning toward the only person James knew he hated with a passion and asks. "No I have to finish this paper, but I'll be at the party," He narrows his eyes at Sirius. James and Sirius relaxed at this and smile. "Bummer," James says trying to sound nice but fails. Michael sounded as if he was warning his best friend and James wasn't having that. "Well see you.." Michael leans over and kisses Remus. James watches Sirius cringe away and look at him. James gives him a small smile which he returned. 

"THREE BROOMS TIME!" Lily shouts in James ear as they ran from the field. Everyone was going that was originally there but Michael which relieved James and Sirius. 

"Too never having to work out in the early mornings again." Sirius laughs clicking his cup to everyone's narrowing his eyes at James.  "Hey we won every game didn't we?" Sirius laughs throwing his arm over his best friend. "Thank we did James that we did."
"How was wearing my jersey?" James laughs after chugging his first beer. Regulus rolls his eyes. "It was like wearing a shirt over my hoodie." 
"Nah he's secretly in love with you." Sirius laughs however James didn't find that funny. His head snaps toward Sirius. 
"What?"
"Jeez, James I'm kidding." Sirius laughs not realizing that really upset his friend. 


They arrived sometime after the party begin. James already started taking shots with Sirius as soon as he walked through the door. Sirius needing to forget Remus and James needing to forget Regulus. They where drunk when they finally ran into Regulus and Remus again. Remus was cuddling drunkingly into his boyfriend making Sirius roll his eyes very dramatically. Regulus and Kyle where making out on the other side of the couch, causing James to glare hard. Not even trying to be subtly about it. 
"You good James?" Remus asks staring about him. James shakes his head and looks at Remus. "Yeah, just don't like your boyfriend," James pauses and looks at Regulus. " Or his." 
"I second that," Sirius laughs seating down. 
"Dude first off he isn't my boyfriend, second of all even if he was why does it bother you?" James ignores Regulus watching Michael getting upset. 
"And why don't you like me? I've been around for like six months." Remus tries to get him to calm down but he doesn't. "I don't need a reason not to like you. You are a scum." Sirius states blankly drinking his beer. "Sirius stop," "No you prick you KNOW I love you and you're with him. You're just as bad." James wasn't shocked that Sirius said this. Sirius only states that he loves Remus when he is drunk. Scared of his own feelings. 
Remus looks defended. 
"Sirius.." 
"This is why I don't want you being friends with him." Michael grows standing up staring down at Remus before glaring at the two best friends.
"Excuse me?" Sirius and James both stand up looking pissed about this statement. Regulus looks up pushing Kyle off of him about to step in. 
"You heard me, I've known sense day one you like MY boyfriend. Let me repeat myself just incase you didn't hear. MY boy-FRIEND not yours." Sirius goes to swing but James grabs him. "No, Remus will never forgive you." He whispers drunkingly in his best friends ear. Sirius glares at Michael wondering if it'll be worth it, to James shock he backs down. 
"Truth or dare?" Kyle asks, James glares at him. Now was not the time for a game. But Sirius bit. "Dare," 
"I dare you to go strip." James watches Sirius stand up. James new Sirius didn't have and issue stripping it was very confident in himself. 
"I'm only taking off my shirt." Sirius yanks his shirt off and throws it at Remus. Upsetting his boyfriend but he doesn't say anything. 
"Remus truth or dare?"
"Truth." Remus wasn't an idiot his friends where already righting with his boyfriend he didn't want this to explode. 
"Why are you with this prick?"
"Because he's cute." Sirius and James gag. "Simp," Regulus comments laughing. Remus turns and looks at Regulus, "Truth or dare?" 
"Dare," 
"Take the person that makes you confused the most out of our friend group upstairs for the rest of the night." 
"My room, James lets go." James sat drinking for a couple seconds before he realized that everyone was looking at him. "What?" He asked confused. "You're going to Regulus's room with him for the night?" James dropped his drink. "Uh why?" 
"Because you confuse him the most." James looks over at Sirius who shrugs. "I don't know have fun." James stares at Regulus for a couple seconds before getting up and following him. 
They where quiet for a few when James broke the quiet. 
"Why exactly do I confuse you?" 
"Because I like you and I don't know why," James takes a few steps before realizing what Regulus said and stopped walking. 
"Excuse me?" 
Regulus looks behind himself smirking. "I think you heard me James." James shakes his head. "No I think I heard you wrong," 
Regulus starts walking toward James. James backed up into the wall. Just his luck. 
"I. Like. You." 
"But you hate me," James says confused pointing at himself. Regulus shrugs. "Things change," 
"Since when?" 
"Since I decided to let them," 
Regulus and James stared at each other for a few before Regulus said, "Fuck it," and kissed his brothers best friend. 

James wakes up with a pounding headache. He knows he isn't his bed but he doesn't open his eyes. He is trying to remember where he was, who he was with, and what happened. He heard a groan next to him and freezes, he knows who that is. He peaks out of his eyes and see Regulus. James jumps away from him. "Well goodmorning to you to cupcake." Regulus didn't even open his eyes. 
"What happened?" 
"You're telling me you don't remember what we did?" James rubs his head. "Not right now," Regulus sighs. "I confessed my liking toward you, you confessed your love, we made out and went to sleep by the lake." James follows Regulus's hand and saw they where but the lake. Oh. Then everything came back to him. 
He and his best friends younger brother kissed. He told James he liked him. "Why the hell did you do that??" James demanded staring at Regulus is horror. "Oh calm down princess we didn't have sex," "I know that but you're...You're SIRIUS'S BROTHER!" 
"I know who I am," 
"But you.." 
"Do you like me James?" James opened his eyes and saw Regulus looking at him. He debated on lying but chooses not to. 
"I believe so," 
"I like you, so where do you believe we go from here hm?" 
James looks at Regulus for a moment. "What are you implying?"
Regulus rolls his eyes. "Jeez James. Do you want to be my boyfriend or not?" James slowly nods his head. "Good, now come here." Regulus pulls his new boyfriend down and cuddles him.
