James pov:

This week has been great. Regulus has been sleeping over with me in my dorm, for around a week now, it's kinda an unspoken thing. Christmas is coming up. I'm staying at the castle for the break but regulus is leaving, which makes me nervous for him. I know what his parents are like from Sirius, and I don't want them to hurt him.

—————————

Regulus jumps on our bed, crawling under the covers like a little cat, I laugh softly at his cute behavior. "Don't you have an essay to write little omega?" He scowls, curling into the covers. "I don't know, do I?" He challenges, I roll my eyes at his sass. "Do you?" I climb into bed, wrapping around him. He giggles, full on giggles. "I don't want to do it right now. Just want cuddles." He mumbles. "That I can do, my love" I shove my hands under the blanket, and up his shirt.

He squeals and his whole body shivers. "Your hands are cold!" I smirk and kiss his head. "And you are warm, which is surprising because you act so fucking cold sometimes don't you?" Regulus scoffs, and puts his hands over mine. "I'm a right bitch, I know." I laugh, at his monotone voice. I tickle his sides and kiss around the back of his neck. "No, you are lovely little one." Regulus smiles. "Thank you James." He whispers.

"Hey James, why aren't you in our dorm as much recently?" Sirius says, sitting across from me in the great hall. "Oh I uh just." I shrug. "Felt like being alone." Sirius eyes me, he leans into me and whispers. "We're you on your rut? Mine was like a month ago why is yours late?"
Remus looks over, making me blush and take a bite of food.

"I um don't know" I finish up my lunch, I need to go talk to madam Pomfrey. "Where are you going?" Peter asks. "Library, and I need to talk to lily about something." Peter nods and goes back to eating lunch, Sirius just watches me. I quickly walk to the hospital wing, pushing the door open and looking around. Madam Pomfrey walks over. "What can I help you with mister potter?" I fix my glasses. "I wanted to ask about my rut, it's a little late and I was wondering if that was normal?".

"Yes mister potter, it's pretty normal, especially if your hormones are mixing with an omega, sometimes your rut can sink up to the heat of your omega and delay it." Oh yea that makes some sense. "Okay, will my Rut start?" She looks like she's thinking. "I can give you a potion that should kick in by tomorrow." That would work, but I have to remember to tell Reggie. "Okay yea, can I take it?" She nods, handing me the potion, i down the potion in one go. Fuck that taste like shit.

"I'm hungry. James can you get me a snack? I have to finish my essay." I look over at regulus, who's sitting on our bed writing on parchment.
"The essay you were supposed to write yesterday." I look at him pointedly. "Yes James the essay I was supposed to do yesterday, but instead I kissed your face off so which did you prefer?" He sasses back.

I laugh softly. "Yes, I definitely preferred you kissing my face off." He smiles and starts chewing on his quill. "Can you go get us snacks?" He puts his lip out. "Okay, okay, fine." I stand, fixing my glasses, grab my wand, I walk to the door. "Wait." Regulus says. "Yea what is it?" I turn and look at him. "Kiss?" He says shyly. God he's cute. I wonder over and tilt his head back, pressing my lips to his. He hums, and smiles and pulls back. "Okay get me food." I laugh at his crooked smile. "Do you want anything particular?"

Regulus cocks his head side to side. "Can you get me a cucumber sandwich and a cup of tea? Maybe some crisps? And cookies?" I chuckle, "yes I can, okay I'll be right back." He just hums, going back to his essay.
