James stood in front of the bathroom mirror, desperately trying to get his hair to look somewhat respectable. He had always had the same wild and untamable hair, but he wanted to look his best tonight and that meant trying to do something with his hair.

“You look ridiculous.” Sirius teased from the bathroom door.

“Piss off!” James threw back, running the comb through his hair one more time. “Damn it!”

“Mate, why are you even bothering?” Sirius asked, cocking his head to the side.

“Cause.”

“Cause what?”

“I need to look my best! This is Regulus after all.”

“Yeah, I'm aware,” Sirius grimaced.

James turned to face his best friend and raised an eyebrow. “Pads, are you sure you're really okay with this?”

Secretly, James was terrified Sirius was going to say no and change his mind and forbid James from going out with Regulus.

“No.”

Fuck.

“But also, yes.”

James held his breath.

“Look. Am I happy about the idea of my best mate and my little brother being all gross and touchy feely, absolutely fucking not. But, do I want my best mate and little brother to be happy, even if that means they have to be with each other, then, begrudgingly, yes.”

Sirius walked out of the bathroom and James gave a silent whoop of joy as he followed him out.

“Okay, well, without pushing my luck, how do I look?” James asked.

A low whistle came from the sofa, James and Sirius both looked over. Remus was watching them and was eyeing James up.

“Damn, James, I forgot how good you can look when you put in the effort.” Remus smirked.

“Oi!” Sirius squeaked in protest. “Don't be gawking at him!” Sirius rounded on James. “Right, time for you to leave, cause I'd rather send you out to my brother, than have my boyfriend distracted by you!”

James and Remus both laughed.

“Alright, I'm out of here.” James declared, as he walked to the door and started pulling his shoes on.

As he grabbed his keys and jacket, he heard Remus placating Sirius in the living room, and James could tell from the tone of voice that leaving was the best thing for him right now.

James drove over to Regulus’ flat and saw the man waiting on the path as he pulled up. He looked stunning in all black. His tight jeans and half unbuttoned shirt were already doing things to James.

However, before James even had time to get out and open the door, Regulus was already getting into the car.

“Hello, James.” Regulus greeted him, somewhat stiffly, giving a half smile and then staring straight through the windscreen.

“Er, hi, Regulus.” James replied, his own smile slipping at the awkwardness that materialised.

The ride to the restaurant, although not long, was extremely quiet. Neither of them said anything and the only sound was the radio, which James had put on to drown out the deathly silence.

Halfway through the world's most awkward dinner, James couldn't take it anymore.

“Reg,” James spoke quietly, so he could get Regulus’ attention without startling him. Slowly, Regulus looked up. “Do you just want to leave?” James tried to keep the disappointment from his voice and expression.

Regulus blinked. “Oh.”

Shit.

“Urm, if that's what you want.” Regulus said, his voice so quiet James almost missed it. Regulus looked gutted.

“No!” James instantly replied.

“Then why did you suggest it?”

“Because you've barely said two words to me and you haven't really looked at me all night.”

“Fuck.” Regulus looked like he was going to cry. “I'm sorry.”

“Regulus, if you didn't want to come out with me, you could have said. If you felt like Sirius was guilting you into it, then-”

“No!” Regulus protested, interrupting James. “Shit, I'm not-” Regulus paused and took a breath but couldn't meet James’ eye. “The truth is, I've been wanting you to ask me out since the first day we met. So, when Sirius said you wanted to go out I expected it to be a prank. Then you pulled up and I was completely thrown off. Plus, and don't let this go to your head, you look really hot and so I couldn't think of anything to say to you without embarrassing myself.”

There was a beat of silence between them. Then James reached across the table and took Regulus’ hand. Finally, Regulus looked up and made eye contact.

James winked at him as he said, “Let's get out of here.”

Regulus nodded and they both got up. James dropped some notes on the table and they quickly left.

Three hours later, after having spent the rest of their evening walking around the park and lake near Regulus’ apartment building, James pulled up outside the flat.

This time, he got around to open Regulus' car door for him and walked him to the door of his building.

As they got to the door, Regulus pulled his keys out and a bright yellow stick of lip balm. James watched him put it on, as he opened the door and had never realised just how sexy lip balm application could be.

“Reg?” Regulus turned. “What flavour is that?”

“Oh, erm, it's actually foam banana flavour.” Regulus twisted his mouth, almost as if he was embarrassed. “I know it's a bit childish.”

“Not at all. Sounds cool. Can I have some?”

James had seen memes of this moment, surely it wouldn't work, but he had to try.

Regulus squinted at James. “Sure,” he dragged out and as he went to reach back into his pocket, James leaned forward and captured Regulus’ lips in a quick, but firm kiss.

James pulled back and Regulus was gaping at him.

Suddenly, James was really worried he'd messed up.

Then, Regulus laughed. “I can't believe I fell for that line.”

James laughed too.

“So, can I see you again?” James asked hopefully.

“You had better.” Regulus winked at James and walked into his building.

James was on cloud nine.

“So. Boys,” Effie said pleasantly, crossing her arms as she and Monty sat down and surveyed James, Regulus, Sirius, and Remus, who were all already seated at the large dining table. “We thought we would have a little family meeting.”

“See, Reg? I told you they see you as family,” James whispered gleefully, kicking his boyfriend’s leg. 

Regulus, who sat next to him, rolled his eyes, but blushed a bit. 

“Oi, what’re Moony and I?” Sirius asked James, eyeing him from his place across the way. “Aquaintences?”

“Moony’s family. You’re a pain in the arse neighbor nobody wants around,” James joked, though the way he said it made it clear he thought of Sirius as family as well. 

“Boys,” Monty interrupted, sending both of them a look before looking back at his wife.

“Anyway. We decided we would meet to talk about sleeping arrangements this summer. As you all know, we’re very blessed to have enough beds for everyone to have one of their own, are we not?” Effie asked, smirking and raising an eyebrow. 

A few of them looked down or exchanged nervous glances before mumbling, “Yes, mum,” or “Yes, Effie.”

“So, there will be no need for nighttime bed sharing. Right?” She continued, taking the time to look both James and Regulus in the eye before giving them all a gentle smile. “Monty and I appreciate that all of us need comfort and love, but that can happen with doors open, or in community spaces. Right?”

James and Regulus, who had been secretly sleeping in the same bed for a whole week now, avoided each other’s gazes as all of them nodded and murmured in assent. Sirius, however, looked toward Remus surreptitiously before saying, “But mum, I think Remus and I sharing a room is fine, right? You’ve never seen us sharing a bed, so–”

“So you weren’t both cuddled up in Remus’s bed last night, then?” Monty interrupted, giving Sirius a sly smile.

Instantly, Sirius turned red.

“Yeah, that’s what we thought,” Effie laughed.

For the first time in months, James’ extended group of friends aligned their busy schedules and were able to all go out together. They’d claimed the back 2 booths in the pub and had needed to pull up a number of chairs too, there were so many of them now.

They were more than a few drinks in, and had reached the point in the night where they were reminiscing about the events that had pulled each of them into the group.

The four “marauders” were the core, having dormed together at boarding school for years. Lily had been the first outsider welcomed, due in large part to James’ embarrassing crush on her - a fact that to this day he was never allowed to live down. Some of the other girls - Mary, Marlene and Alice - had followed Lily. Others joined the group by virtue of being in relationships - Marlene had brought Dorcas, Alice had brought Frank, Pete had brought Emmeline. The Prewett brothers had always existed in the periphery and often joined too, and they’d bring along the slightly older crowd - Hestia, Edgar, sometimes Kingsley.

Regulus had joined the group via Sirius, after they reconnected a couple of years out of school. He’d dragged his own friends with him - Barty, Evan and Pandora - and, well, now there were a lot of people crammed into the booths.

“Hey, Prongs, remind us, how did you meet Regulus?” Remus had a glint in his eye, it wasn’t often he indulged in mischief but whenever he did, it was always good.

James puffed up his chest and smiled widely, he loved telling this story. “Sirius was so nervous to reintroduce him to us that when Reg knocked on the door, he left him standing out there for a good, oh, five minutes?”

Indignantly, Sirius interrupted. “Fuck off, Prongs. It was one minute at best.”

“Definitely at least five, mate.” James chuckled and continued. “Pads was running around in a panic. So I, being the absolute hero that I am, opened the door. As soon as I got one look at Reggie here, I was so starstruck that I slammed the door back in his face and screamed at Pads for not warning that he’d gotten so hot.”

“I still stand by the fact that I shouldn’t have needed to warn you. He shares my DNA, of course he’s hot.” Sirius visibly preened, and half the table gagged.

“Get to the good bit!” Marlene jeered.

“Right! So, Sirius punched me in the face for calling Reggie hot, and Moony opened the door to find Reg bent over covered in blood.” James wrapped his arm around Regulus and smiled down at him fondly. “We had our first date in A&E getting our broken noses treated.”

Regulus snorted. “That was not our first date, Potter.”

“No?” James retorted. “You sure let me spend enough time kissing you better, though, didn’t you.” He winked and Regulus flushed a bright red. 

“Yes, well. Painkillers will do that to you.” A laugh rippled through the group, and Regulus smirked, pleased that he’d gotten the last word.

James leaned down to whisper in his ear. “You know, baby, I think my nose hurts just remembering it. Wanna get out of here so you can kiss me better this time?”

Regulus was already halfway to standing before James finished his sentence.

“Can you please put that fuckin’ book down and pay attention to me?” James grumbled, titling Regulus’ chin up. Regulus, who knew exactly what he had been doing whilst watching him cook, smirked.

“What if I don’t?”
