Marauders Oneshots

Proposing: Jegulus

AN- I kind of hate this but I felt guilty not finishing it. So here it is :/

James had everything planned perfectly. The dinner reservations were made, the plans to get Regulus all dolled up were in place, and the ring...

Oh no.

Where was the ring?

He just seen it yesterday. It was in his drawer? No. It was definitely shoved in his athletic gear. Regulus never got in there. James went to look.

He breathed a sigh of relief. The black box was where he remembered. He pulled it out to look at the ring.

It was a thin black band with a dark green sapphire in the shape of a kite. The edges of the stone were harsh and bold, but not as to outshine the band it was mounted upon.

James smiled to himself and shut the box. He knew His Reggie would love it.

James was waiting at the table with breakfast by the time Regulus was out of the shower.

James' mouth dropped open slightly as Regulus came into the kitchen.

He wore loose sweatpants that sat low on his hips, the band of his boxers peeking out. He had on no shirt so his torso was fully visible. His curls were still wet and hung loosely around his face.

Regulus must've noticed the obvious staring. "Have I entranced you Potter?" He teased.

James cracked his grin. He had to hold back from mentioning the proposal at the sound of his last name spilling from Regulus' lips.  "You know it, love." He said instead.

Regulus poured himself a cup of straight black coffee and sat down beside James, laying his leg over the other's lap like he always did.

"You made my favorite." Regulus said before indulging himself in the chai flavored stack of crepes in front of him.

The pair ate relatively quietly, not needing to discuss much to enjoy each other's company. Most weekend mornings were spent like this. Quiet and peaceful, enjoying the calming end to their weeks.

After breakfast James told Regulus that he had made him hair and nail appointments. A treat for you, he said.

James drove Regulus to their regular hair salon, knowing he had been mentioning getting some kind of hair treatment and some color done. James could see that his lover was excited and enjoyed seeing him like that.

By the time Regulus was done in the hair salon his curls had a new shine and bounce to them and there were some dark green streaks throughout. The contrast of his black hair and the green looked lovely. James was staring yet again.

"Do you like it Jamie?" Regulus asked, standing close to James and throwing his arms around the other's neck.

James instinctively wrapped his lover's waist, "I love it. You're so beautiful." He kissed his cheek soflty.

"Do you have a plan for lunch baby?" Regulus cocked his head to the side.

James had lined the appointments up perfectly so that the pair had time for lunch in-between hair and nails. "Of course I do, I can't let you go hungry or you get mean. You can choose the place."

Regulus chose a cute tea shop he had been meaning to try. They served mini tea sandwiches and finger foods. Regulus ordered two of almost everything on the menu. He wanted to try it all.

"This looks amazing my star, what do you think?"

Regulus was already in the middle of eating one of the tiny sandwiches. He tried his best to smile though his mouth was very full.

James laughed.

Their meal was fun and full of gentle laughter. James knew Regulus was enjoying himself, he loved being spoiled.

The couple left the tea shop with a fresh cup of tea to go and headed to the nail salon.

Regulus' nail artist was fluent in French so James sat in a chair and did his crosswords while they chatted.

Regulus came up to James and presented his nails to the other man. "Do you like them?"

James looked up. Regulus had chosen longer coffin shapes with dark green tips. They matched his hair. He put on his goofy grin. "I love them. Did you choose them to match your hair?"

Regulus nodded, clearly excited that James had noticed.

"Are you ready to go back home and get dolled up for dinner?"

Regulus smiled and they headed back to the car.

Two hours later and the couple were back in the car in their best outfits. James had not yet told Regulus where they were going so Regulus was asking, trying to guess. He had said the right answer a few times but James was unrelenting.

"You know I'm not going to tell you honey."

"Hm, you would if I sat on your lap and kissed you."

James chuckled. "Do you want me to crash?" James asked, quickly glancing at Regulus.

Regulus pouted but didn't continue his questions.

Soon they arrived at the resturant. It was their favortie sushi place.

"No you didn't Jamie. This place is so hard to get into."

"Well I did it. Are you ready to go in?"

"No." He said, slightly breathless from excitement.

James raised his eyebrow at that response, not expecting it. "No?"

"I just-" Regulus didn't finish his sentence. He surged forward and kissed James.

James made a small noise of surprise but immediately brought his hands to Regulus' body; one on his waist and the other on his chin.

Once Regulus was satisfied, he pulled away, leaving his hands on James' face.

"I needed to do that." Regulus said, slightly breathless.

"Well, are you ready to go in now?" James asked, smiling at the other.

Regulus nodded and got out of the car. James walked over to him and laced their fingers together, leading the way inside.

Dinner went by very well. They ate until full and ordered some more to take home for later.

James took the pair home and insisted on changing into some new pajamas he had gotten for them. He then ushered Regulus into the car again and they drove to their favorite place. It was a smal, abandoned castle belonging to some small royal back in the 1800's. Nobody used it now except nature and the couple.

They went up the spiral staircase to the tower with a destroyed roof. It was perfect for watching the stars and admiring the night.

James laid out a blanket and they sat together, Regulus between James' knees practically curled in a ball. James had his arms wrapped around the smaller boy.

"Regulus," James said as he fumbled in his bag beside him, "did you have a good day?"

"The best. You spoiled me." Regulus was still watching the stars.

James smiled and hummed fondly. "I did." He was getting a bit nervous. He waited a moment then put the open ring box in front of Regulus. "I got this for you. An engagement ring. Would you marry me Regulus Arcturus Black? You make me the happiest man in the world. You complete me, a sun and his star. So, would you marry me?"

Regulus was silent. He slowly took the ring out fo the box and slipped it on his left ring finger.

James breathed a sigh of relief. "Does that mean yes?"

"My answer couldn't be anything but." Regulus turned around to face his lover. He leaned in to press a firm kiss to James' lips.
