Jegulus One Shots <3

#74 The Opposition

I honestly don't know what this idea is lol

TW: mentions and implications of domestic violence between Reg and his ex, phrases like "boys will be boys" may be triggering as well as descriptions of cheating. Crucio mention.

Description: Regulus used to date the Slytherin Quidditch Captain, after their break up Regulus hasn't gone to a single match, until now, and gets paid a surprise visit.

Regulus walked onto the pitch, his chest tight as everyone began to stare at him. Regulus had dated Slytherin's quidditch captain, and they were a powerful force that everyone envied. Behind the facade it was far from perfection though, Regulus' final straw had snapped in an argument between the two that played out in the Great Hall, an argument which had left the captain's reputation tarnished after the accusations Regulus had thrown at him.

Regulus hadn't been in the clear though just because he was the one who broke it off or decided to speak up about what had been happening. Since the break up he'd had his fair share of slander from other students in all houses and even some of the teachers. After all why should one boy's future be ruined because he made a "little mistake"?

Regulus thought back to the comments people had made to him as he did his best to keep a neutral face, walking back onto that pitch for the first time since the break up.

"Boys will be boys"

"How could you do this to him?"

"It was one time, he's just a man what did you expect when you're gone so often?"

"You've ruined his future, for what?

Regulus pushed the thoughts away and focused on finding Pandora, she had a seat saved for him in the stands every game but this was the first time Regulus had actually decided to attend. He was on the pitch now, he could feel the glares and he could hear his ex's voice in the distance as the Slytherin team entered the field. There was no turning back now, he was there and he wasn't going to run.

Regulus felt all the eyes of the school on him as that familiar, antagonising, voice called out in surprise.

"Regulus?"

Regulus kept walking, trying his best to act as if his name wasn't clearly called out for everyone to hear, keeping his usual elegant stance as he walked and the unreadable facial expression that had become affiliated with him, as his presence dominated the field, people eyes fixated on the noble heir.

"Did you not hear me? What did I tell you about ignoring-"

Regulus turned to make a snarky remark, he wasn't going to be ordered around by that stuck up asshole, not anymore. Regulus held himself together but addressed him clearly so that the audience they had in the stands would have something really good to gossip about.

Suddenly there was a roar of excitement though as the Gryffindor team came out to make their grand entrance. Most of the players but one flew up into the sky, both Regulus and the captain turning around to see James Potter jogging over towards them.

"Oi love" James said loudly as he finally reached Regulus, who was already flustered as he looked James up and down in his new uniform, a different style to the other players and it was brighter now that he'd become the captain to the Gryffindor team. His warm skin making the golden etchings in the uniform seem even more vibrant as the sun glistened of his glasses.

Regulus focused his attention back onto James' words though as he felt the heat of James' breath on his neck.

"Kiss me good luck?" James winked, leaning in with a quick side eye and smirk to the Slytherin captain who stood in shock.
