The next few weeks had Regulus just about ready to drop a bomb into the school and leave.

He thoroughly enjoyed spending so much time with James even when it was just simple study dates in his dorm. However, he could do without the macho competitions he was having with Barty.

James walked into the Slytherin dorm, grinning as he leaned over the bed to kiss Regulus, "Hey, I managed to sneak off from the others."

"Again." Regulus faked a smile glancing to the bathroom.

James pulled away with a frown, "I can go I just- sorry. I shouldn't have come."

"No, it's just... Barty's in the shower." He whispered.

"He can't shower in his own dorm?" James muttered.

Regulus scoffed, "And this is why I didn't want to say anything. I want to be able to hang out with my boyfriend and my friends, but I can't do that when you two argue all the time."

James sighed, "You're right. I'm sorry."

"You are?"

"I am."

"So you'll drop it?"

"I dropped the fact you adore me, I think I can drop this one too." He whispered, grinning at the blush on Regulus' face.

"Potter-"

"James."

Regulus scowled, "You said you wouldn't bring it up again."

"It was sweet."

"It's embarrassing."

"I want to hear you say it again." James laughed.

"Blow me." He scoffed.

James raised an eyebrow almost as if Regulus had dared him. He pushed him back onto the bed, climbing onto it.

Regulus laughed nervously, "Potter I wasn't being serious."

James frowned sitting back, "Can I ask something?"

"Something I'm going to yell at?"

He shrugged, "Probably."

Regulus sighed, "Yeah go ahead."

"Don't get all moody on me. I know a Moody and he isn't even this moody." He teased poking his thigh, "Are you not... you know... attracted to me?"

"What?!"

"Well, you never ask me to do things!"

"That's not true."

"One handjob in a month doesn't count." James grumbled, "Was it that bad?"

Regulus frowned, taken aback by the question, "Shit no that wasn't- that wasn't what I was trying to hint at." He whispered, "You could've offered though." He pointed out.

"What?"

"If you really wanted to do something. You could've offered. I just figured you didn't want to and I didn't want to say anything to make you feel obligated to do anything."

"Why wouldn't I want to?"

"Why wouldn't you want to what? Have a dick in your mouth? Well, you didn't exactly seem thrilled when you tried that stupid condom idea of yours."
