"James?" Regulus asked. God, this man was so attractive. Usually when you hook up with someone, the point of a hook up is to never meet again. Oh, they're both gonna be in big trouble if Sirius finds out.

"Regulus, hi." James shook himself out of his trance, remembering where he was and most importantly, who he was with. "I've heard about you, never seen you're face though."

"Yes well, I make sure Sirius has zero picture of me. I don't look good in photos." Sirius guided Regulus to a seat so he was sat in between his brother and James.

A waiter soon came round and they all ordered drinks, both James and Regulus ordered something strong without the others realising. They were going to need it to get through this dinner. Regulus could no longer bare the thought of looking at either James or Sirius anymore in fear of trying red.

Why on earth did the guy Regulus hooked up with, that was extremely attractive and hadn't stopped thinking about have to be the James that Sirius never shuts up about?

"So, Regulus." He looks up to find Peter looking at him. "Sirius tells us you work in a bar?" Regulus glares at Sirius who glares back, still grumpy about his job.

"Did he tell you or did he cry and wail about it?" Regulus questioned, a snort and a choke coming from Remus and James.

"The latter." Remus replied, earning an elbow jab from his boyfriend.

"He's always so dramatic." James speaks, giving Regulus a slight scare. Regulus' phone buzzes in his trouser pocket. He fished it out and sees it's a message from Barty.

So, how's the dinner party going?
                        - Barty

"I'm just gonna go to the bathroom." Regulus says, standing from his chair.

"Wait, if the waiter comes back what do you want?" Sirius asks.

"Umm, a steak. You know how I like it cooked." Regulus replies, leaving in the direction of the bathroom but stopping in the empty hallway leading there. He opens his phone to reply to Barty's text.
                                                                                                                                
Kill me now.

What happened?
- Barty

Remember a couple of
Nights ago, when I slept
With someone
- Regulus

Yeah?
- Barty

Turns out, that 'someone'
Is James.
- Regulus

'The' James?
As in your brother's best mate?
- Barty

Yup.
- Regulus

You're screwed.
- Barty

You think I didn't realise that?!
Sirius is going to kill me
When he finds out I slept
With him 😫
- Regulus

Okay but he's attractive, yes?
- Barty

Very. Even more so
Dressed up
- Regulus

Then get the guys number
- Barty

I will be walking into
My own grave
- Regulus
