@jegulus-microfic / february 14: lips / word count: 334
James Potter has an obsession with chapsticks, Regulus can bet he probably has one of every flavour in existence, and wherever he goes he always carries at least one. Regulus shares classes with him all week and this week's summary was:
Monday: Cherry - which he applied while frowning and trying to answer a particularly complex question.
Tuesday: Grape - as he leans in close to Regulus to ask the result of number 4.
Wednesday: Marshmallow - just before saying goodbye to Regulus.
Thursday: Mint cocoa - while offering him his homemade brownie.
Friday: Mango - while asking Regulus what he's doing for the weekend and inviting him to a party.
Not that Regulus is keeping track, but who uses so many at the same time.
So on Saturday, with a few drinks in him and watching from the kitchen door as James wins a game of beer pong, Regulus feels more bold than usual. The moment the older boy starts applying lip balm is the only signal he needs to approach.
"You use a lot of chapstick," is the opening line he decides to use.
"Regulus, you came!" he replies excitedly and gives him a hug. From this distance it is possible to smell the sweet smell of caramel (maybe). "And yes, if I don't use them, I feel like my lips are dying, plus they taste wonderful," he continues, before applying some more moisturiser.
And the younger Black has never pretended to be a strong man when it comes to Potter, so when his eyes linger as the other slides the golden-brown stick across his lips wishing and wanting to be it, it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
"Do you want to try?" asks James when he catches him looking.
"Sure."
The thing is, Regulus was waiting for him to drop the small cylinder into his outstretched hand, not for James to hold him gently by the chin as he slowly approaches.
"Is this okay?"
And what can Regulus do except nod.
Confirmed, salted caramel.

Made for Me
"James?" Regulus gazed at him, utterly bewildered. What on earth was James Potter doing standing outside his door on Valentine's Day, holding an actual bouquet of flowers?
"Yeah, that's us," James and Regulus turned at the sound of Barty and Evan's voices, each arching a brow, silently urging them to explain.
"We signed you up for the Uni's matchmaking program. My guess is that you got matched with Potter."
"YOU DID WHAT!?" Regulus snapped.
A valentine's day oneshot for @regscupid @magswrite and @spacexcowgirl
