Back of the bus

3: am

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" I say to the map as I watch it form and then I look for regulus on it "he's in the astronomy tower" I say to myself before slowly rising and getting up from my bed walking torwards the door "where on earth are going" I hear Peter whisper yell to my left and I immediately freeze "come back snuggle bum I want to speak to you" he says turning over.

Oh thank god- he's sleeping a weird one he is I think to myself before making my way out and down the steps through the fat lady "come on then James you got this" I say to myself as I walk up the stairs of the tower to see a calm regulus sitting with back turned to me his front infront of the telescope taking notes down from what he's seen

I slowly move to sit next to him and smile "hello regu-" "JESUS FUCK" he screams while inevitably jumping up and grabbing his wand "woah Reggie it's me!" "James?" He says looking at me "the fuck are you doing here"he says fixing his robe before taking it off "I just wanted to see you and thank you" "how'd you know I was here?"

"Pft- I I didn't just had a hunch yk" "no I don't know but idk what your talking about either why would you thank me?" "During dinner..you helped me." "No I did not I was just practicing a spell" "so you didn't want to help me" "not to the public" "so you did want to help me!" "My Odin your annoying"
"You like Norse gods?" I say understanding who Odin was

"Yes I mean their stories are so interesting and when your born a god like Loki you just you have so much free will but ultimately you just want to be you no matter what people think but you get outcasted and judged and interpreted by things you don't mean to do" he says going on in a ramble about Loki "do you feel that way?" I ask him and he turns to look at me "yeah..not all the time but in a way yeah."

"And why is that" I say sitting up putting my arms to the side "because I have a lot of regrets but I act out of impulse for instance when I try to talk to Sirius I want to be nice and I want to bond with him but then I remember him walking away everytime he saw me during my 1st year and then my 2nd and 3rd and 4th.. it never fucking stopped until I ignored him back and now he's interested in his brother when he's got you? The James potter? A bloody bloke." "Hey! No name calling this is about you."

"My monologue James." He says before smiling at me "well that makes you a bloody tosser" I say smiling back and he laughs at this "me? A tosser?? Never how could you possibly say that" "with my mouth" I say pointing to it

"You've done a lot of other things with that mouth too" he says laughing even more "OI?" I say pulling him down and we lay back over his robe I didn't notice he put behind us "I'm joking I'm joking!" He says laughing more and I take the time to appreciate it at this moment

It's nice..soft but horse at the same time..his jawline is sharp and defined and his neck..WAIT. Stop. This isn't right no looking at your best friends brother like that

"James? Did you hear me?"

Regulus:

I'm laughing and I turn to see a slightly reddened James who's starring at me with a look I've never seen on him before "James? Did you hear what I said?" I asked him "h-huh? What'd you say" "I said 'how bad is your eyesight'" "i-it's pretty bad" he says "Uhuh" I say before moving closure to him and looking him in his eyes "w-what are you doing?" He asks me in a nervous tone

"Oh calm down James your not that seductive" I say before taking his glasses and looking at him "ah Reggie I need those" "you'll live. So how did you know I was talking about Norse gods" "oh I like them I have a bunch of collections at home under my bed" "what kind of collections" "tokens books couple of their swords..I like swords" "can you wield a sword?" I ask him grabbing his forearm and holding it up "I can do that too yes" he says his face becoming even more flushed

"You blush easily James" "maybe one day I can show you my collections?" "Will this involve some crazy scheme to get me to stay at your house" "only if you want to." He says looking at me "and why would I want that?" I say turning my full body torwards him his glasses still in my hand

"Because maybe..you'd want me?" He says quickly his full face turning red as he attempts to look at me but can't see and I don't know what I'm doing but I slowly place the glasses on his pface and I watch him look confused for a second before I lean down and kiss him 'reg- what are you doing?' I expect him to say but he doesn't he pulls me closer and I can't help but crave his touch as he moves his arms down and moves me onto his lap.

This feels amazing like we were meant to b- wait it's just kissing regulus there's no way in hell you actually like potter. He's a muncher..a marauder.a thief your brothers older best friend..this can't be happening.
I slowly stand up and grab my robe fixing my shirt and walk out of the tower and then quickly run down the steps as I hear James calling after me but I'm already gone
