Marauders Era Fanfictions

Infatuated(Part two)

Here we go I said soon, but I kinda meant not long after. This consists of Sirius' reaction and the rest of the schools, so Happy New Year

Regulus hears a "What the Hell" come from the Gryffindor table and guesses it's his brother. He turns back to Dumbledore and is surprised to see both him and McGonagall smiling. "James." He says quietly. "You just told everyone, including my brother, that we're dating." James just grins. "I know, love. Are you not mad?" Regulus hums. "Not really, but you could have at least warned me sooner." James' smile dims slightly and runs a hand through his hair. "Yeah, I know. I just wanted it to be a suprise." Regulus, let's out an exasperated sigh. "Whatever, but we're gonna have to talk to my damn brother." James waves his hand as if it would be extremely easy. "He'll get over it." Regulus doesn't believe him, but he desides not to push it."So you're infatuated with me?" Regulus asks rather smugly. "Well..." James says, scuffing his sneaker of the tile. "You kind of make it hard not to be." Reg relishes in the fact that James' has a blush creeping into his face and is extremely flustered. "Boys!" McGonagalls voice rings throughout the great hall. "Can both of you take your seats." Regulus notices it was more of a command than a question, so he tries to take his seat. Instead, James pulls him back and kisses him on the cheek. "Have fun in class." Regulus glares but knows his eyes are too bright . "Go sit down, Jamie." He grins at him before walking up, with a skip in his step to the Gryffindor table. As Regulus takes his seat, he notices that Sirius isn't talking to James. Sometimes, Regulus thinks, some things may never change.

Regulus finds himself going through his classes dreading  the talk that is bound to come from his brother. And he wasn't wrong. (Play, I wanna be your slave while reading. It adds suspense). He's on the quidditch pitch when James comes. He just isn't alone. His brother, Sirius, and his boyfriend, Remus Lupin, or like how James like to put it his future brother in law. "Oh shit." He mumbles to one in particular. "HI, Reg." James says as he gets closer. Sirius glares at him, anger bubbling under the cold and calm expression on his face. "There is no 'HI, Reg'.I want to know why my best friend is fucking my little brother and vice versa. "Regulus gulps not liking where this is going. James clears his throat. "Well, when you put it that way..." Remus rubs his eyes with the heels of his hands, ready to watch his best friend get killed by his boyfriend."James." Sirius mumbles angrily. "All right fine, I'm fucking Regulus." You have got to be fucking kidding me, he thinks. "James." Regulus cuts in out of horror of the way it worded his response. "Well, that's what's happening." Regulus groans outload. "James, don't get me wrong. I love you, but please just stop talking." Sirius looks at him eyes piercing through his no longer calm exterior. "Then why don't you tell me?" Regulus sighs and runs a hand through his long curls. " it started about a year ago. After the first quidditch match of the season." Rmus nods, even Sirius, so he continues. " I was worried about you, and so was James. So we started talking, mostly about you. Then, four weeks later, I kissed James while we were at the astronomy tower." Remus looks between Regulus and James. "So that's where you've been sneaking off to?" James runs a hand through his hair nervously. "Yeah." Regulus clears his throat so he can continue; the sun dipping beyond the horizon, leaving the moon shining brightly and the stars starting to appear in existence. "At first, we were just kind of... like.. friends with benefits..: Regulus pauses unsure of what to say. He turns to James, who is bouncing up and down of his toes, nodding at him to go on. "Then James told me that he loved me." Sirius looks at him a different kind of rage appearing. "You said it back, right Reggie?" Regulus feels a gust of wind blow his hair into his face. He pulls his jacket tighter around himself. "Eventually, yeah." He finally answers, noticing the new anger in his brothers features. Remus, Regulus notices, has been quiet; hand now on his boyfriend's shoulder. "And that's what happened so far." James says anxiously, obviously wanting to get this over with as soon as possible. Me too, me too, James, he thinks.

_______________________________________I was going to do more,but I decided to cut it since paper three were still two pages for this one part. I have to go to a wedding on the 3rd and school starts on the 4th, so that means I can't post as often as I have been. I might not write tomorrow because I'm gonna be working out my ao3 account, but I'll try.

Thank you, and cheers to a Happy New Year 🥂
