@jegulus-microfic Jan 17 - dream
253 words
~
It was just a bad dream, just a bad dream, just a dream.
Except it wasn't a dream. It was a want. But Regulus refused to accept that.
Why would he want James Potter swooning over him? James Potter hugging from behind, playing with his hair, kissing him? And holding his hands and picking him up and cuddling him and kissing him...
It was just a dream, anyways. Whether he wanted it or not.
*
"Remus." James said, breaking the silence Remus had just settled into.
"James." He replied, urging him on.
"I had a weird dream."
"About what?" Remus asked, still reading, not really interested in another story about treacle tart castles or whatever else James's brain could imagine.
"Regulus."
At this, Remus's eyes snapped up, staring directly at James.
"As in Sirius's little brother?"
"As in Sirius's little brother." James confirmed, nodding his head ruefully.
"What exactly was so weird about this dream?"
"Erm, we may have been... kissing? And cuddling? And it's really weird because like yeah we’ve been talking a little bit more and it’s kind of nice ‘cause he can be like sweet? But I still don’t know why—"
"James. You love him, don’t you."
"I do?" James asked, brows furrowing.
"Think about him." Remus told him, and James paused. A slow smile spread across his face. His eyes widened in realization.
"Oh, shit. I do."
*
Later, Remus would hear about Regulus's dream, and would immediately bring the young Slytherin to talk to James, because they were both idiots.

established regulily to jegulily where lily and reg attempt to flirt with james but hes so very oblivious and deep in denial,
regulus who flirts with james during quidditch games and calls him 'pretty boy' and james is just like: 'nah thats just a sports guy thing'
lily who helps him with his schoolwork while flirting with him the entire time and praising him when he does good and james is just like: 'shes such a supportive friend!'
whenever the two of them are alone they're both just like: 'holy shit why cant he just take the hint' 'i know right?'
eventually they both give up and blatantly ask him out and hes like: 'you guys like me? really?' and they both facepalm

@wolfstarmicrofic March 28 – prompt 28: Langlock – word count 549
Langlock - Causes the target’s tongue to stick to the roof of his mouth
It was well past midnight in the dorm, and it was the fourth time Sirius had tried to sneak into Remus’s bed. Peter knew that, of course. He had known since the first times Remus had kept reading the same page of a book over and over again because he kept looking at Sirius. He had known since Sirius had started looking back, blush and babble some nonsense. He had known since that Gryffindor party when he had turned around and seen them way too close and with their cheeks way too red for a chat between two friends. He had known since the number of times he had found the door to the dorm locked or had heard Sirius’s feet quietly paddle to Remus’s bed in the middle of the night. He knew, and it was fine. They would tell them officially when they were ready. James, on the other hand, didn’t know and didn’t seem to notice anything. What James did know now was just that Sirius wasn’t asleep and he had taken that as an opportunity to talk to him across the dorm.
Sirius’s feet shuffled once again across the floor.
“Pads?” James’s voice came from behind the curtains around his bed.
Sirius’s feet quickly shuffled back to his own bed.
“Yes, Prongs?”
“Do you think I should get Lily flowers for Valentine’s?”
“Didn’t you try and get her flowers for her birthday and didn’t she smack them in your face?”
“Oh. Right. Thanks.”
“Anytime.”
There was a moment of silence before Sirius’s feet padded across the room.
“Pads?”
Sirius’s feet padded immediately back.
“Yes, Prongs?”
“Do you think I should move on from her? Find someone else?”
“I mean, it could do you good.”
“But I love her.”
“That might make it hard to move on, mate.”
“Right. Thank you Pads.”
“You’re welcome.”
Another moment of silence, longer this time. Then Peter heard Sirius’s feet across the floor once more.
“Pads?”
Sirius’s feet made a hasty retreat.
“Yes, Prongs?”
“I love Lily, but it doesn’t mean I can’t find other people attractive.”
“No, I suppose it doesn’t.”
“Your brother is ridiculously attractive, Pads.”
“Merlin’s beard Prongs, if I had known kissing you as a dare would end up with you being attracted to Regulus I would never have done it!”
“Shut up, you loved it.”
“Go to sleep, Prongs.”
Another silence, and Sirius’s feet now gliding across the floor. Peter shook his head and took his wand from his bedside table, being careful to be quiet. He didn’t want Sirius to glide back to his own bed because of him. A slight shuffle from the other bed indicated that James was about to speak again.
“Langlock,” Peter whispered, pointing his wand at his friend’s shape through the curtains.
No one spoke, and Sirius’s feet finally glided across to Remus’s bed, where the curtains opened and closed in record time. Peter waited a couple of seconds then cast a sleeping spell on James. He didn’t want him to jump out of bed, panicked because he couldn’t speak, and interrupt Remus and Sirius once again. With a yawn, Peter put his wand down and settled back under the covers. One day he would tell his friends this story. Probably as part of a speech at their wedding.

@jegulus-microfic | feb 10 violin | words: 1425
okay so this one is long and i’m not sure if i’m satisfied with it but here it is. i hope you’ll like it <3
disclaimer: remus isn’t transphobic, he just doesn’t want to out reggie. i don’t know if i showed it the right way, sorry if it made you uncomfortable
Sirius invented him and Remus to the concert in memory of Vivaldi. James wasn’t really into classical music, but he would go anywhere for his best friend. And that’s how he found himself attaching the cufflinks to his suit on a Friday evening.
He looked good, he thought - crisp-white button up, black tie, and the black suit he bought when he started working at the law firm few months ago, suited him perfectly. His dark curls, unlike usual, were manageable today, shooker. He put some small, gold hoops into his ears, his favourite sun necklace, hiding it underneath the shirt, and the ring he got from his parents as a graduation gift. With one last glance at himself in the mirror, James left his flat.
When he walked out of the building, he immediately found Remus who was leaning against his car, smoking a cigarette. He was dressed in a brown, plaid suit with a white turtleneck underneath.
“Well, don’t you look handsome” James yelled cheekily, as he made his way to the taller man.
“Says you” Remus replied in the same flirty manner before exhaling the smoke. “Want one?” he asked offering James the pack. He took one, waiting for his friend to light it up.
“So, are you ready for the craziest night of your life?” James asked sarcastically.
“Oh, come off it. Sirius said that after the whole thing he’s going to repay us with some actual fun” Remus nudged him with his foot. Yeah, maybe you James thought to himself.
After they smoked their cigarettes and got into the car it took them just about thirty minutes to get to opera house. Even though they weren't particularly fond of the type of music Sirius performed live, they were very proud of him - maybe his parents forced him to take piano lessons when he was younger, but that turned out to be the only thing he was grateful for. He practiced even after his mother told him he was useless and will never achieve anything, just to spite her. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how he got himself a job at Royal Opera House.
They found their seats right in the middle of the room and waited for the whole thing to start.
When the lights went down and the musicians started appearing on stage James spotted an angel. No, really, the person that came next must’ve been out of this world, there was no other explanation for his beauty. He looked rough and delicate at the same time, what’s with his sharp jaw and rosy cheeks, little nose James immediately wanted to poke at and silvery eyes that seemed to read your soul.
“You wouldn’t know who the one with violin is, would you?” he whispered to Remus. The other man looked away from his fiancée and searched the stage for the person James was asking about. When he spotted him he immediately shifted in his chair and cleared his throat.
“Yeah, um, that would be Regulus” he replied, looking kind of uncomfortable.
“Regulus… That sounds familiar, where could’ve I heard that?”
“Well” Remus started “it’s a star, so maybe that’s why you know it. Could be from Sirius talking about his brother, but who knows” he said in a hurry, like he didn’t want to acknowledge that. And James felt disturbed, because what the fuck.
“Sirius has a sister, did you forget?” he asked his friend, looking at him as if he had grown another head.
“No, he has a brother, can’t you see?” Remus replied, pointing his chin at the man on stage.
James just looked between the two of them, extremely confused. Sirius was always talking about his sister, he was sure of that. He was also sure his best friend mentioned someone named Regulus a lot of times in the past, but he never met that person, nor did he meet Sirius’ sister since she went to some fancy boarding school in Scotland. Another thing James was sure of was that he hasn’t heard about Sirius’ little sis in a long time.
Still feeling confused, James just sat there, looking at Sirius one second and at Regulus the next. He could point out some similarities between them, but he didn’t stop feeling disoriented.
After the concert was over and the orchestra received standing ovations, both Remus and James got up and went to the artists’ dressing rooms. They went into one with a sticker on the door that said ‘Black’. As they entered James came to an abrupt halt. There on the couch, next to his best friend sat the most beautiful man he ever laid his eyes on. He just starred at him with Regulus staring back. In the background James could hear his friends exchanging tender words with each other, but all he could think about was the man in front of him. His feet started moving before he could decide it himself. In a matter of seconds he was holding his hand out for the other man to grab.
“Hi, I’m James. I loved your performance” he said sheepishly, and oh my god, was he blushing?
Regulus smiled up at him, finally catching his hand.
“Thank you, I’m glad you liked it” came from the black-haired man. They just stood there, holding hands and gaping at one another. After some time Regulus cleared his throat and added “I’m Regulus, by the way.”
“Yeah, I know” James said before he could think about it. Then “Not in a creepy ‘I stalk you’ way. Sirius talks about you sometimes and Remus told me earlier what was your name. That’s how I know.”
“So, you two talked about me?” the younger one asked cheekily. James didn’t know what got into him, but his response came almost immediately.
“Yes. You know, you made such a good job out there I had to ask who are you” Regulus just smiled at that. Before he had a chance to reply, though, they were interrupted.
“Get away from my brother, you evil spawn” Sirius yelled at James, coming closer to them. That reminded him.
“Are you brothers like we are? Something like not real brothers, but you know each other so well that you might as well be real brothers?”
“His my real brother, like, from the same mother and everything” his best friend answered.
“Last time I checked you had one sister, no other siblings. Unless you were keeping him from me?”
“Yeah, no” Sirius shook his head. “I always had a brother named Regulus, I don’t know anything about any sister.” James felt confusion coming back to him at the response. He looked at all three people in the room, every one of them looking at him with raised eyebrows, and okay - was it some kind of prank?
He decided to leave it, for now. If any one of them cared to explain they would do it in their own time, he didn’t want to push.
As promised, after the musicians had changed, the four of them and two other members of the orchestra, whose names were Barty and Evan (Regular's friends), went to a bar near the opera house. They all had a good time, talking about the concert and telling each other stories about their childhoods.
After few hours Sirius and Remus announced that they were going home. Not long after that Barty and Evan, whose dynamic was at least strange in James’ opinion, decided they would get going, too. So, it was just James and Regulus now.
They sat in silence filled with some kind of tension, while still looking at each other. It made James end his beer in one big gulp. Regulus giggled at that.
“No need to be that stressed, I’m not going to bite you” the musician told him. James looked at him for a second and then decided to make something dumb.
“Hi, I’m James” he repeated his words from earlier, as he held out his hand for a second time this evening. “Your beauty made me go stupid, would you mind if I bought you a drink?” At that Regulus started laughing loudly, throwing his head back.
“Oh god, that was awful” he choked out. Then he looked at James, amusement still visible in his eyes. “I’m Regulus, nice to meet you. And no, I wouldn’t mind you buying me a drink. Just, under one condition.”
“What is it?” taller man asked hopefully.
“Never say that ever again. To anyone” Reg chuckled.

Barty busting into their dorm room and pulling back Regulus’ bed curtains
Barty: Reg. REG. REEGGGGG. Wake up!
Regulus: What in Salazar’s name do you want?
Barty: He likes me. EVAN likes me!
Regulus (who has watched Evan and Barty circle around each other for months and relieved to finally be over their bullshit): Really? What happened?
Barty: HE TOLD ME I WAS ALRIGHT! Alright Reg! Can you believe it?
Regulus as he snatches his bed curtains back: no, I really fucking can’t.

read through my newest wip again instead of studying physics. enjoy this snippet of regulus panicking:
“Why are you…” Regulus trails off, swallowing the lump in his throat, “shirtless?”
James raises his eyebrows like he hadn't noticed he was walking around flashing his built chest and wide shoulders and making everyone drool at the sight of him. He looks down at his naked torso and up at Regulus again with a sheepish smile. “Oh, I lost my shirt,” he says with a shrug like it's no big deal, like he hadn't just helped Regulus’ mind create a fantasy he will be thinking about for the next two weeks.
“You lost your shirt?” Regulus repeats dumbly as he commands his eyes to stay focused on James’ face lest he look like a complete idiot drooling over James Potter who has a girlfriend. A really nice, pretty girlfriend. Said girlfriend also wears peach scented lip gloss and Regulus is dying to know if it tastes like the fruit too. Oh, right- James!
“Yeah,” James nods, “I brought it here with me but someone must've taken it while I was showering. I swear I had placed it on the bench over there, but well… it’s not there anymore.” He gives Regulus another smile, scratching the back of his neck.
