"Hey! I own Vermont Avenue!"

"You literally don't! You own Kentucky, I own Vermont!"

"I can see your card right now!"

Peter lunges across the coffee table and grabs the card out of Marlene's hand, "Aha! You liar!"

The group groans in unison.

"Marlene, just pay the 25 dollars, please," Lily sighs, "It'll be over sooner."

Marlene huffs and doles out the cash, shoving it into Peter's outstretched hand. Peter nods solemnly, "You may continue."

"Finally! My turn!" James pushes himself off the living room couch and slides down in between Sirius and Remus.

"Hey, watch out!" Sirius shouts and holds his rolling tray with multiple half-rolled joints above James' head.

"James, if you knock over the last of my weed, I will kill you," Remus says as he lights a finished roll and sucks in a deep breath. He blows it out, swatting at the smoke before it hits Lily across from him. Without so much as a glance at each other, Remus passes the joint into Peter's already extended hand.

"Darling Reggie, I need 200 dollars for Go," James says, slapping his battleship Monopoly piece down. James leans across the coffee table and watches as Regulus counts out the game cash in his lap.

"I can't believe you let him be Banker and not me," Sirius complains, "I make a great Banker!"

Regulus looks up from his lap where he has been hiding all the money the entirety of the game and stares up at his brother with a deadpan look, "You're a terrible Banker, Sirius. You made our games twice as long as kids."

Sirius scoffs and sets the rolling tray down, crossing his arms over him in a childlike manner, "You're exaggerating."

Regulus rolls his eyes, "You made me wait every time for you to write down the math and work it out. And then would argue with me when you did it wrong."

Sirius pouts, "Okay, so I wasn't the best at math back then, but I would still make a great banker!"

Remus leans back against the couch and turns towards Sirius, "You sure you're not arguing just cuz you're mad Reggie gets to do it and you don't?"

"Hey! Don't be rude, Moony."

Remus shrugs and returns to sharing his joint with Peter.

"Shush everyone, it's my turn." Lily sits forward on her knees and walks her iron game piece.

Regulus watches intently and passes Lily her allotted money.

"Oh, Reg," James starts and places his head in his hands, looking at Regulus sickeningly adoring, "You make such a good banker. I would never choose another."

Regulus looks up at him and rolls his eyes, "Shut up and pass me the dice."

"Yeah, Prongs," Sirius says, "Stop flirting with my brother over Monopoly."

"How can I not! Look at him counting out the money so adorably. He's such a good banker," James exclaims as he tosses the dice to Regulus.

Sirius starts to make retching noises obnoxiously.

Regulus looks up from his thimble game piece and narrows his eyes at Sirius' dramatics before looking over to James. He points to the square he landed on.

"Ha! You owe me 75, Reg!" James exclaims, peering at the Marvin Gardens square.

Regulus' mouth quirks up at the side and he places both of his hands on the coffee table before leaning over it towards James.

James' eyes widen and subconsciously starts gravitating to Regulus. Regulus smiles slightly, glances at his lips, and stares back into his eyes. James' breath hitches slightly.

"How about this, Potter," Regulus starts and reaches a handout, catching a lock of James' hair and tucking it behind his ear, "If you let this one slide," he trails a hand from his hair down to his cheek and cradles it. He then rocks forward close enough for his nose to graze James', "I'll let you have sex with me," he breathes.

"AH!" Sirius immediately screams as James' jaw drops and everyone else freezes in fear of Sirius' reaction.

Regulus roars with laughter, falling backward and Sirius is screaming, "My eyes, my poor virgin eyes!"

Remus then breaks into peels of laughter and Marlene and Lily follow suit, hunching forward with tears streaming down their eyes. Peter's eyes are bouncing from person to person, fear still displayed on his face.

"How are you guys laughing about this so quickly," Peter squeaks, "I thought that would be the end of James."

Sirius wipes away his fake tears and smooths his hair back in place, "Dear Wormtail, while I do not condone my little brother being defiled, fortunately, Prongs here has had a thorough talking to from me-"

"Too thorough! Too thorough, guys!" James shouts which causes Marlene and Lily to giggle even harder.

Regulus sits back up and pushes himself to stand above everyone. James' eyes track every movement.

"I won," he announces and points down at the game board, showing off all his red and greenhouses that litter the board.

The group grumbles in defeat and tosses down all their leftover money and sorts their cards back into the game box.

"Regulus always wins," Marlene grumbles, folding up the cardboard.

"Every single game we play, I swear," Lily mutters, "He's unbeatable."

"Fucking prodigy, swear to God," Peter complains.

"That's right ladies and gentlemen, that genius young man is all mine," James proudly states.

"Moonyyy," Sirius groans, laying his head back against the couch behind him to stare at Remus who is clearly not at all paying attention and has successfully rolled seven joints at this point, "They're being gross again make it stop."

"Moony supports our ever-lasting, magical, beautiful, satisfying love, don't you, Remus," James smirks.

"James, you are seriously on thin ice right now," Sirius says.

James full-on giggles stands up, and steps over to the coffee table. He grabs Regulus' hand, smiles at Sirius, and drags him into the kitchen. Everyone hears James let out a sigh and say, "Congratulations on your win, dearest."

CLANG

Sirius shoots straight up, "What was that?" he calls out.

"Oh, don't worry, your brother just shoved me into the fridge. He does not like dearest!" James yells.

"Reggie, be nice!" Lily and Sirius scold in unison.

Sirius faces the group, "Now who's gonna plot their breakup with me?"

Marlene and Peter raise their hands immediately.
