"Truth or dare, Lily." Asked a random 6th grader

It was October 31st, and the head boy, James Potter, and head girl, Lily Evans, had organised a halloween party for the 5th and 6th graders. All houses were welcome. Currently majority of both years were playing truth or dare in a circle.

"Dare, I'm not a coward."

"Iz dare you to remove your sockz with your teethz only." The 6th year obviously had too much fire whiskey and was not VERY not sober.

Lily looked him dead in the eye, bringing her sock up to her mouth and removing it flawlessly.

Cheers erupted as Lily stood up and started bowing and blowing kisses to her many fans.

"My turn, Jamessss, truth or dare?"

"I've done dares this entire time, let's mix it up. Truth."

Lily poured some truth potion into his alcohol and proceeded with her question. "Who is the cutest person here?"

Various 'ooohs' could be heard. James looked around at his options until his eyes landed on Regulus in the corner, next to Barty Crouch Jr.

"Regulus Arctus Black."

Regulus looked up and realised what was happening. He couldn't ignore the blush creeping up on to his face. In a matter of seconds, his head collided with his hands, burying it deeper.

"Mate, my brother. Seriously?" Sirius whined.

"Oh cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it."

The games went on for another hour, until a drunk girl asked James a question.

"Trath, owr dar?"

"Truth."

"What do you think of my looks?"

James already knew his answer.

"Firstly, your make up looks like it's from colour by number. Secondly, you look like a basic white girl who thinks saying 'girlypop' and drinks your 'starbies' is a personality. On the topic of personality you are a copy paste of Hannah Montana and Regina George. Lastly, the early 2000s called, they want their low rise jeans back. Stop trying to make them happen, they're not going to."

( we're gonna act like the early 2000s aren't in the future, and they know what colour by number is, what 'starbies' and 'girlypop' are, who hannah montana and regina george are😋😋😋 )

"Stop trying to make fetch happen." Quoted a Gryffindor 6th year causing a chain reaction of giggles.

After another hour of the game, Regulus got up and was approaching the exit, when he was stopped by James.

"Hey, Regulus." James mumbled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck red with his hand.

Regulus looked up, due to their height difference to see James staring down at him.

"Um, hi." He didn't know what had prompted James to talk to him, well he did, but he refused to believe it was real, even though James was under veratisium surely it was a prank, or why it was making him feel like jello. He knew none of that, but he did know that he DEFINITELY had a thing for the 6th year, the head boy, his brothers best friend, James Potter.

"I'm sorry if I made you feel awkward by saying you were the cutest person in the room, but I meant it."

"I know this is sweet, but I knew you couldn't have lied, Evans made you drink veratisium, remember?"

In that moment, he stared into James eye's. He noticed their chocolate brown colour, with hints of gold lacing the pupil. How his freckles created a constellation across his face. How his messy locks fell to his eyebrows and gave him a young, innocent look.

"I think I like you." James didn't know what came over him, but he knew it was the truth. He just blurted it out and stuck with it.

"You actually like," Reggie gestured to himself "me?"

"I mean, what is there not to like? You are gorgeous, your black hair frames your face like a painting. Your brown eyes are more gorgeous than the night sky. Can I kiss you?"

"Oh, um yeah, maybe not here though considering my brother is right other there." He tilted his head at Sirius and Remus making out in the corner.

"Oh well, he's too busy snogging Remus to know." And with that, James leaned in, Regulus meeting him in the middle, in a slow, meaningful kiss. They disconnected their lips for a second, before returning, in a much more passionate kiss than the first.

"On second thought, why don't we get away from your brother." James said in between kisses.

"That's a good idea." Regulus took his hand and lead him up to the astronomy tower.

The next morning James returned with hickies, and a slight limp, and Regulus with a smug smile.
