Do you know that song "I need a big boy" the one that sza made for that snl skit I need that but Remus Lupin. Ik he's our tall lanky man but I need him big. Like he's already big in certain... areas. But I need him big overall give me "the beast from beauty and the beast" man I need a tall, big, meaty, muscular remus lupin.
James is sweet. He wouldn't hurt a fly. He's the guy that puts spiders in a cup and takes them outside because he feels bad for killing them "but what if he has a family, with a wife and kids?!?". He's all smiles and second chances. Until you hurt Regulus, you have no second chance and you have a fully qualified murderer out for your head. He acts first, thinks second, there is no room for apologies.
I feel like the Blacks are so completely and possessively in love. They go fucking insane when it comes to the love of their life. Family is one thing, they try to kill each other on the regular but don't you ever lay a hand on the person they love. Bellatrix, Narcissa, Andromeda, Regulus, Sirius. You so much as look at they're significant other wrong and they'll have a dagger to your throat in minutes.
James is pacing around the room in nothing but his pants a pair of socks and a open Hawaiian shirt "What about this one?" he asks looking around at his friends. "Reggie would like this right? I think it's great"
"a Hawaiian shirt? Are you being seri-sincere right now?" Remus throws a questioning look at him
He looks down at his shirt again "What-I okay your right it's stupid" he takes the shirt off and is digging through the clothes on his bed again. "What about this one?" He asks as he pulls out a yellow jumper. "Yellows a good color right?"
"yeah if you're a flower" Peter chucks on the side of Remus "You're gonna blind him mate"
"Okay-okay what about this one?" He throws on a navy blue flannel " It's nice right?"
"are you gonna leave it open like that?" Sirius asks
"I can pull it off open rights?" He's shaking his head
"Reg would love that" Remus chuckles quietly
"What-no James change please for my baby brothers innocence" he says while gagging
"Okay fine what about this one" he pulls on a white t-shirt and looks at his mates
"it's see through James" Peter kindly says
"What no it's not" me looks at the shirt and presses it into his chest "Damnit it is"
"You're really overthinking this mate. If you waste anymore time you're gonna be late" Remus says while Sirius starts gagging again dramatically
As if on cue Regulus interrupts from where he was leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed "Yeah you don't wanna keep your date waiting do you Jamie?"
James whips around so hard he thinks he gave himself whiplash. He can barely make out Regulus shape if he squints due to the fact his glasses are on the bed from all the shirt changes. "How long have you been standing there" He asks embarrassed.
"Around the opened flannel" James groans and covers his face.
Regulus walks towards the bed where all James clothes are, and picks out a red shirt along with a pair of brown trousers that are so dark their almost black and hands them to James. "Remus is right you're overthinking this; change darling" he says as he pecks him on the lips erupting a groan from Sirius.
He walks towards James's night stand where he keeps is jewelry and comes back with a necklace just as James finished putting the clothes on. He turns James around after putting the necklace on him and holds his face in place as he pecks him again. "Now I'm gonna go down stairs and wait outside of the portrait for you. When you come out I'm gonna complement your outfit and act like I wasn't the one who picked it out okay?" All James can do is nod.
Regulus waves to all the guys and goes to walk out of the room. "Where the black shoes please not your red ones the red ones will clash" He says as he closes the door. As soon as the door shuts and he hears Regulus foot steps fade away he looks at his friends. "I'm gonna marry him" he says with a absolute blisses out expression. Sirius gags are getting drown out by laughter.
Regulus Black is such a "fuck around and find out" kinda person...yk?
Y'all remember crimson rivers??
The Regulus star aligns with the sun on August 23rd WHICH IS TOMORROW AS I'M TYPING THIS!! I repeat the Regulus star aligns with the sun on August 23rd. I feel like that's important information.
"I'll be there for him with open arms, open legs, and an open mouth" but it's Regulus Black talking about James Potter
Venturing out from the stairs he walks into the top of the tower. His lover turned towards the sky. For a silent moment he just observes allowing himself to fall even more in love. Finally regulus turns around eyes puffy and blood shot and within a second James is by his side.
"What's wrong love speak to me."
"I don't love you James" He says without look James in the eye.
"No" Caught off guard he backs up.
"James please I-I can't be with you I don't-I don't want you"
"Liar. Reg tell me what's wrong"
" No I don't-i don't love you. I no longer want to be with you"
" LIAR STOP LYING TO ME!"
" I'M NOT LYING!" He cracks. What's left of his stone cold walls drops the second he looks James in the eye to see tears already around the rim
"The truth Regulus"
"Fine you want the truth" Angry and frustrated he takes off his jacket and rolling up his sleeve revealing his forearm where the inked marked skin lays
"THERE! That is the truth I am a death eater! I am the thing you hate most in this world James I am evil!" Looking down at his lovers arm Regulus can see every emotion working it's way through James's face and and it ends with a face of indifference.
"Okay."
"Okay..." He can hear the gears in James's head turning
"They did this to you? They forced you to do this?" It may sound like a question but they both know it was a statement. The answer is already there.
"It doesn't matter" Because it truly doesn't no matter the circumstance they are still here in this situation. Hurting.
"Your a good person regulus"
"IM A DEATHEATER you can not love me anymore. I can't-I can't do this... us. I can't anymore" He knows he's speaking completely gibberish but his mouth is moving a mile a minute and he has no control. Why won't James just stop? Just give up and allow him to hurt in silence? To leave behind the best thing that has ever happened to him. Allow him to save the thing he loves most in the world from himself. And as if he spoke his questions aloud James opens his mouth. "No! Love is a choice reg and I choose you! I LOVE YOU! that is my choice and mine alone to make. "
" I'm a deatheater "
" I LOVE YOU! I will scream it until my throat is bloody and my lungs are empty. I will stand with you between the heavens and the earth! Between Voldemort and Dumbledore! I will tell you what you are! Do. You. Love. Me?!?"
" I LOVE YOU! The mo-the moment I saw you I have loved you desperately. I love you James my.. my heart calls your name"
Silence each of their minds processing the information, the emotions, and the devastation that both lovers feel. A moment after said silence they are in each other's arms. Mouths smashed together in a way that would be painful if it was not so deeply desired. A minute, a hour, or a life time could have passed by before they finally resurfaced.
"You love me?" James whispers with the most dopy smile
"I love you" regulus whispers back instantly
It's out now. Let the world hear it. Let tomorrow come and they will talk make plans. But tonight they hold each other.
He's allergic to pollen
This man literally has the worst allergies EVER
Bartemius crouchemius Jr's nickname is "bee" just so we're all clear.
Regulus came up with it, it was a joke that he would make when Evan was out the room. The rose and his bee, but it stuck.
HC that after every kiss James has to give Regulus one final peck before completely pulling away as a "good bye I'll seen you soon". And Regulus adores it because James doesn't even realize he does it.
James calls Regulus love and only love, sometimes he'll change it up, put my in front of it or say lover, but Regulus Black has always been love.
Regulus calls James baby because he said it as a joke one time and James completely melted and was unable to speak for a complete 30 seconds.
Bonus: the one time James called Regulus Babe he almost lost an eye.
