Jegulus One Shots <3

#14 Please Come Back

I know this is kinda shit but I saw an incorrect quote and thought 'if I have to be sad about this I'm taking them with me' so enjoy this very short story.

James lay in the grass, looking out at the moon while ranting to Regulus. Every thought and feeling he had been bottling up he was expressing now. He would come out to the field often and lie in the grass, pointing at the stars.

Regulus smiled at James and nodded, humming along every now and again when James asked him a rhetorical question. He placed his hand on James' knowing it comforted him and reminded him of the simpler times they had together.

James pointed to different constellations, telling Regulus all the different things he had learnt in his astronomy class, an elective he had only just started taking but promised Regulus that he would enjoy.

James looked at the sky, he started to reminisce on the first time him and Regulus had played each other in quidditch, Regulus was so calm before the game and confident on his broom despite the action going on around him and the pressure that was always put on the teams when it was Gryffindor and Slytherin playing. He was an excellent player and an even better opponent, if he lost he was annoyed but he wasn't a sore loser and visa versa if he won he wouldn't rub it in the other teams face.

Regulus looked at a particular star that was shining brighter than the rest, it was quite marvelous and had smaller stars dancing around it, it reminded him rather fondly of Sirius. The moon had always reminded him of Remus, a bright light that supported the stars and was always there when you needed it. James reminded him more of a sunset, beautiful and radiant, although each night it may look slightly different it always feels the same.

James was still talking and Regulus was still listening. When James lay there with Regulus he felt like the world stopped, like every problem or burden he had felt was gone and he could just live in the moment, a moment he wanted to share with Regulus forever.

Regulus chuckled lightly at James who was talking louder now and more passionately than before.

"What are you laughing at?" He smiled

"Nothing, it would just be funny if someone saw you right now talking to yourself" Regulus smiled, keeping his hand on top of James'.

"What do you mean to myself?" James asked, rolling onto his side.

"I'm not here James, not anymore remember" Regulus' smile faded as he watched James close his eyes, a singular tear falling down.

"Please come home Reggie"

"I wish I could darling, I wish I could really sit with you here every night, I would give anything in the world to come back to you"

"I don't want you to leave"

"I know, I'm always going to be here as long as you remember me"

James' eyes closed and he nuzzled into Regulus' chest, his heart melting when he realized he was just lying down on the grass by himself, "please come back".
