-Regulus got first and leaned on fence. It was 09:45PM, he better be not be late. He was thinking how will James react on his letter. After 5 minutes James came. Regulus still hand his eyes closed. James got closer and picked Reg up. He opened his eyes because he got scared. James put him down and laughed.
"Perfect timing Potter" Said Regulus smiling a bit.
"Thanks, Reg. Why did you want us to meet tonight?" James asked curiously.
"Take this and in tomorrow night give me answer." Regulus said giving James letter. He took it and Regulus left. James rushed home to open it.
-He opened it and started reading.
James Potter, or how I like to call you, Potter. I wrote this letter shaking. I think I may developed feelings for you, I feel it for a while now. And I think you did too, but I'm not sure so that's why I'm shaking. It all started in my 2nd year when we were playing qudditch and I was feeling from broom and you caught me. I felt butterflies in my stomach. You just smiled. I love your smile by the way. I never could tell you this in person because I'm not so talkative and would be too shy. And also you would pause me in half of sentences. Anyway, tomorrow night, again Gryffindor Tower? Give me your truly answer, written in a letter, with nice handwriting, please.
Yours, R.A.B.
-When James saw that he immediately started to smile. He grabbed a quill and a paper and started writing it. When he was done he went to sleep. But he couldn't fall asleep, all he was thinking was Regulus. How was he so dumb to not notice that he liked him too? He never liked Lily. He was just scared that his friends will dump him if he turned out to be gay. But afte Pads and Moony started dating he brushed it all off and stopped paying attention to the girl. After a bit time he finally fell asleep.
-In the morning, of course, Remus woke them up because who else will? James got up, hid his letter under invisibility cloak and went to change. He didn't have an idea for outfit so he wore something casual. He grabbed his back and left room. In common room there was Sirius, Remus and Peter waiting for him.
-Their first class was Potions with Slytherins. Regulus was there.
"Okay, so today I will be pairing you in two to do the potion" Slughorn said with his cold voice.
"Rosier and Crouch, McKinnon and Meadows, Lupin and Black, Evans and McDonald and Potter and Black" countinued Slughorn.
James stood by Regulus.
"Soo, we got paired up together." James said nervously. Regulus looked at him.
"I guess, you write and I'll make it because I know you're dumb." Regulus said. James smiled and agreed. They got highest points, after, of course, Remus and Sirius. Both were proud of each other.
-After the class it was boring like usual. James sat with Moony and Pads under the marauder tree. They were talking and chilling in grass. Reg came and hugged Pads.
"What's wrong, Reg?" Sirius asked hugging his little brother Regulus.
"Snape.." Regulus said started to tear up.
Sirius just looked at James and Remus and they nodded knowing what they'll do. Sirius took Regulus in his Gryffindor dorm and left him there sleeping. They went to Snape who was outside. Sirius was about to explode so was James. He was furious.
"Expelliarmus." James yelled on Snape.
"Nice one James!" Sirius said feeling better.
-"Oh you came here to defend that little disappointment." Snape said laughing.
"Protego!" Said Remus elegantly raising his wand. Sirius was on seventh moon.
"Sectumspemra! Touch my little brother one more time you'll forget your name." Sirius said finishing Snape off. They walked away but little did they know Regulus was watching it from window. He was glad they stood up for him. James went to common room grabbing his bag and saw a little drawing of a stag and a cat in it. He immediately knew it was Regulus. He smiled and put it on his night stand.
-After some hours they finished all classes and James was walking from one side to an another almost an hour.
"For fuck's sake, Prongs, lay down a bit." Remus said clearly getting annoyed.
"Did Evans reject you again?' Peter asked.
"I don't care about her anymore." James brushed him off. Whole common room got quiet. James looked around and just went outside. It was almost 11PM and he was already on Griffyndor tower. He saw Regulus walking upstairs.
"Hey Potter." Said Regulus.
"Hey, Reggie." Said James smiling petting his head. Regulus blushed a bit.
-"Here you go the letter Reg." James said giving paper to Regulus and walking away. Regulus went to his common room and sat down reading.
Regulus Black, I feel the same for you, I actually always did. I didn't I know why but now I know. You're cute when you're mad, you don't talk much but you're so smart, you always look mad but you're a sweetheart. I never liked Lily. She is just a friend to me who's clearly gaining feelings. But I don't care. I only want you. You're perfection, Regulus. We're opposites and that's what I'm attracted to. You're star, I'm sun, you're grumpy, I'm always smiling, you're a black cat. I'm a stag. It's just so beautiful. I would love if we talked more but I understand you're shy. If you want I'll be waiting for you tomorrow 11PM too. I'll wait forever for you, Reggie.
With love, James Potter
-Regulus got red. He never felt like that. He felt his heart warming up. He always had walls around people but James was breaking those walls. He wanted that boy, he needed him. He was perfect opposite what Regulus wanted more than anything in the world. After reading the letter he went to sleep smiling from ear to ear.
