Authors Note: Regulus is a great fucking boyfriend in this chapter. Implied smut in this chapter but no actual smut, I'm sorry. However, if you're looking for smut, the next chapter and the one following are cock-full of it. Happy New Years.

James woke the next morning to an empty bed. He sat up with a frown, eyebrows raising when he saw Pandora sitting by his side.
"Hi?" He asked.
She looked up from her knitting with a grin, "You're awake how wonderful. Regulus apologises. Evan made a few comments and he had to go help. He said he'd be back with your breakfast around eleven so in... forty minutes."
He nodded, "Oh okay. Thank you. You don't have to wait here if you don't want to. I'll do quite fine on my own."
"I don't mind. It's like being with a friend." Pandora shrugged.
James frowned, "Well I am your friend, Pandora. Or I hope us to be soon."
"I'm sure we will be. As long as you don't keep hurting Regulus." She responded as she got back to her knitting.
"Oh well I wouldn't dream of- keep?" He cut himself off realising what she'd said.
"You can't be surprised. Regulus tells me everything."
"Everything?"
"Everything." She whispered, her eyes trailing down his body to the blanket, stalling for a moment before turning back to her knitting.
Regulus ran into the room, "You're awake! How are you feeling?"
Pandora looked over at him, "I thought you said you'd be here at eleven."
"I wanted to be here when I woke up so I charmed the bed so I'd get an announcement when he sat up. Didn't realise it would happen in the middle of the hallway during passing period and I'm pretty sure most now believe I'm stalking James Potter, but I'm here."
James shook his head with a small laugh, motioning him over, "What uh- what exactly did you say to Pandora?" He whispered.
Regulus blinked, "About what?"
"The quidditch match."
"Oh. Nothing yet. I haven't had time. Barty's driving me insane for details though."
"I'm going to kill myself." James decided shaking his head.
"Oh no don't do that. We haven't even tried any fun things yet."
"It wasn't fun?!"
Regulus' eyes widened, "No that's not what I meant! It was absolutely brilliant! Just that there's still more for us to do. For example... off the top of my head with no prior consideration bending you over the Gryffindor table and having my way with you."
James raised an eyebrow, "No prior consideration my arse."
He smiled kissing his forehead, "You truly do look much better than last night."
James narrowed his eyes, "Public displays of affection... What do you want?"
"I don't want anything." Regulus laughed.
