Regulus and James made it home safely, "James?"

"Yes detective?" James asked.

"I am so sorry," tears started pouring down Regulus's face, "like- I-I promised o-on th-the third date we could d-do something and, and you seemed p-pretty excited and I-i-i am just not ready and-" James ran up to Regulus wrapping his arms around the tiny boys waist. "Baby, shhh shhhh I would never enjoy doing anything with you if you where unhappy about it. That's unfair on your part. Plus we aren't Remus and Sirius we aren't overly horny, needy adults."

"I know it's just-"

"Nope if you want to make me happy then you must smile aaaaaand you gotta try to do the splits." James snickered. Regulus eyes gleamed with a sudden streak of confidence. "Alright Potter." Regulus gave a quick smile and without warning he slid quickly into the splits smirking up at James. James stood there in awe and amazement. "How?" Was as he could say.

"Self taught." Regulus replied getting up gracefully.

"Dang not only are you beautiful but you are also a teacher?" James asked in awe.

"I am not either of those." Regulus replied in a monotonous voice.

"You know you are your worst critic you are both of those things and so much more!" James lifted Regulus up by the waist, Regulus hooked his legs around James. "James I swear if you drop me you will end up in the hospital and I won't even visit you." Regulus replied French accent thick.

"Mhmmmm I would like to see the day." James replied yawning.

"It's true you know." Regulus deadpanned.                

"Mhm, I bet. Wanna do something?" James asked.

"What do you have in mind?" Regulus asked.

"Baking?" James suggested.

"I can't bake I have no experience." Regulus said.

"You made soup the other day!" James pleaded.

"That's not baking, that's cooking and soup is half my diet I should know how to make it." Regulus replied.

"Pleeeeeeeeease?" James made puppy eyes at Regulus.

"Fine." Regulus huffed, "now put me down!" James got all jumpy from excitement. "Okie dokie! Thanks so much you are the best babe!" James squeaked.

"No you."

"No arguing it is time for baking! Can you bring my phone in here please? And a charger?" James asked, Regulus nodded and walked to the living room grabbing the two items. Once he returned James had already got measuring cups and bowls out. "What are we making?"

"We are making slutty brownies!" James chirped, Regulus snorted. "What the actual mess?"

"It's a giant sheet cookie with Oreos on top, and brownies on top of that. But I am James Potter and the E in my name is for extra so I always add a layer of peanut butter." James exclaimed.

"Why are the called slutty brownies?"

"Cause their oh so easy, and more than a little filthy." James winked making Regulus laugh.

"When's Euphemia coming back from work?" Regulus asked.

"One of the nurse, doctor, therapist people who stays with a mentally ill elder 24/7 got sick so she will taking care of the person and will be gone until they get better. Now time to bake! Ima preheat the oven!" James said turning the oven on. Once everything was set up and measured out they where ready. "Want an apron? Moms got plenty and she doesn't mind sharing." James asked.

"Sure," James handed Regulus an apron covered in chickens with a few frilly, ruffly bits. "This is...... perky?" Regulus questioned his word choice. James turned around with a floral themed one with flowers covering it. "Ready?"

"I suppose." Regulus didn't understand why he was so happy he had never enjoyed baking, but James was there and that just made him feel better. Regulus was caught in thought as James came up from behind him, hugging him tightly. "You smell good." James whispered.

"Thanks," Regulus leaned into the touch. "Let's start!" James and Regulus started mixing the ingredients, well James started Regulus kinda just watched. "Sugar pop come stir this."

"But I, uhh I-"

"Nope come." James said in a stern motherly voice. Regulus walked up to the bowl grabbing the spoon and attempting to stir the mixture. "Baby I love you but your cooking skills are rubbish, here." James came up from behind Regulus wrapping his arms around the thin boys waist. He gently grabbed Regulus's hands guiding them across the bowl, teaching him how to stir correctly. "Better?" Regulus asked.

"Better."

"Mind if I play some music?" James asked.

"Not at all." Regulus smiled. James went to his Spotify and turned on his 'idk' playlist. (Yes that is a real playlist I made) The first song turned on to a strum of a guitar, Regulus looked up. "No."

"Come on it's just one song!"

"No."

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaase." James made doe eyes at Regulus. "Fine." Regulus huffed.

The singer starter singing and the familiar tune of 'Greek Alphabet' by Flomary. James eases threw the song knowing al the words then it got to the chorus.

"It goes! ALPHA BETA GAMMA DELTE EPSILON ZÊTA THÊTA IOTA KAPPA LAMBDA MU NU XI OMIKRON PI RHO SIGMA TUA UPSILON PHI CHI PSI OMEGAAAA!" James hollered. Regulus looked at the phone and clicked the 'next song' button. James spun around and gasped. "How dare thy just turn off the best song in the world! I know where you live! I wi-" Regulus cut him of by smashing their lips together. "Shut up."

The rest of the playlist Regulus didn't mind as much. Once the brownies where done Regulus put some foil over them before James could get to them, "what?!?"

"Get in the car I am driving." Regulus replied, James went along with it. He sat in the car for a few minutes before Regulus came with the brownies and a speaker. "Where are we going?"

"Don't ask just be quiet." Regulus said calmly, James nodded. They drove for about thirty minutes before Regulus pulled over, him and James got out then walked into the woods a bit James was worried. "Are you going to murder me?"

"We'll see."

They kept walking until they reached a cliff Regulus sat near the edge motioning for James to follow. Once James sat down Regulus pushed him off the cliff dyeing a sorrow death.

Regulus laid out a few blankets close to the edge but nit right on it. James came and laid down next to Regulus. Regulus turned on the speaker letting music play softly. "how'd you find this place?"

"That is none of your concern." Regulus replied laying down. James wrapped his arms around him. The two looked at the stars Regulus would point some constellations out but James only ever saw smiley faces. After a few hours, at about 2:38 am, the two fell asleep holding each other.
