-James don't even think about kissing my brother! -Sirius jumped, staring at James intently.
James looked at Sirius, the bottle and Regulus undecidedly. They were all a little red from the alcohol but James blushed even more.
-It's the rules of the game-Regulus said smiling, as he approached James and grabbed him by the tie, approaching him and kissing him. James followed the kiss and put his hands on his shoulders, bringing him closer as Pandora screamed at the bottom. When James wanted more, Regulus stepped aside, leaving a dissatisfied James. He grinned as James looked at him with eyes of lamb.
-That was disgusting-Sirius said as he made the gesture of vomiting. Remus put a hand on his shoulder, approached his ear and said something that made him blush visibly. Within 5 minutes, Remus said he had to go to the bathroom, and soon after, Sirius followed.

They don't know how, but they ended up staggering and singing ABBA. Remus pretended he didn't like it, but he actually moved to music. Admiring a very drunk Sirius shouting the lyrics of the songs.
Peter stood in a corner, drinking and smiling as he admired his friends. Pandora took him by the hand and lifted him up, inviting him to dance with them.
Regulus was kind of looking at everyone, laughing at things that he wasn't too happy about. He could only see James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Evan and Barty to feel like he wasn't enough. They were all he could not be, and looking at them gave him a envy that even he could not resist.
He saw Sirius and knew he couldn't be a female boy like his brother was. He would be mistaken for a girl while Sirius was admired.
At this point he was really sick. They say alcohol brings out the worst in every person, and it was taking away the feelings that Regulus was trying to hide. Ironically, that only gave him more reason to keep drinking, until his feelings stayed at the bottom of the bottle.

Slowly people left, leaving the boys in their bedroom. Regulus could barely stand up and ran to the bathroom. He threw up everything he felt, and it was so empty that he could hardly feel anything anymore.
He climbed into his new bed, listening to his classmates' snoring, staring at a roof that kept turning with wet eyes. He doesn't know when, but at some point in the night he fell asleep. And not for the first time, he wanted not to wake up from that dream.
