Prompt 27 - Plot

Regulus felt groggy. What time was it? He opened his mouth to try and ask James, but his mouth didn’t seem to be working. He tried to open his eyes this time, but his eyelids refused to budge. He could feel something rough tight against his skin, and it seemed to be woven around his wrists and body. Regulus suddenly realised that he was back in his human form. He was beginning to get scared. Where were James, Sirius and the others? He couldn’t hear anything but the sound of his pounding heart. Where were they?

A moan broke the silence, and then another and another. They were there with him. Regulus let out a sigh of relief. They may be tied up and unable to move, but at least they were together. 

“Reg?!” James croaked, his voice cracking as he called out for Regulus. Regulus opened his mouth and tried to speak again. 

“James!” He sounded so scared. 

“Fucking Snape,” Sirius grunted. 

“What?” Remus’s thick voice asked. 

“This has a Snivellus plot written all over it. Sneaky little snake,” Sirius had clearly gained the full use of his voice back. 

“Where are we?” Barty asked. 

“No idea,” Dorcas answered. 

“Anyone else tied up?” Peter grumbled. 

“Pandora?” Evan asked. 

“I’m fine, you all look ridiculous by the way,” her airy voice sang to them. 

“Panda, are you tied up?” Dorcas asked, sounding a bit miffed. 

“Nope, Thalira didn’t see the need to,” Pandora told them. 

“Who?” they all said at once, but Pandora didn’t answer. 

A strange, peaceful magic flowed over him again, and Regulus felt his eyelids lighten. He opened them, blinking furiously, trying to see in the low light. A beautiful face came into view in front of him. She had fiery red hair decorated with leaves and twigs. Her willowy figure seemed to move in an inhuman way. 

“Hello little one,” she said softly, her voice like the rustling of leaves. Regulus knew he should be afraid, but the magic stopped him from feeling it. 

“Hi,” he said as another wave of the peaceful magic washed over him. What was going on?

“I just feel so fucking clingy.” James said, collapsing on the bed. 

“So?” Regulus replied. He tugged at James’ shirt, but the brown-eyed man resisted Regulus' gesture. 

“This is the part where you reassure me and tell me that I'm not clingy.” James pouted.

“But you are.” Regulus laughed. 

He pulled James harder this time. James rendered under his touch but refused to look at him. 

“Really?” His mouth downturned in an instant. 

“That’s not a bad thing, love.” Regulus’ hand reached for James’ chin, brushing his thumb carefully across his jaw. “I like you like that.”

“Clingy?” James’ eyes remained closely pressed together. 

“Yes.” Regulus promised. “I missed you this week.”  

James opened his eyes and pressed himself closer to Regulus, as if there was a magic comfort that only his boyfriend’s chest could provide. 

“So you don’t get annoyed?” 

“No, James.” Regulus said, running his fingers through James’ hair. 

“Not ever?” 

“Baby.” Regulus said, even softer this time, letting the love that only James was privy to linger on his tone. 

“Not even right now?”

“Let me repeat it.” Regulus took the back of James’ hand and pressed a gentle kiss. “Not-” he continued kissing James’ hand until he reached the tip of his index finger “- ever.” 

James moaned as Regulus’ tongue touched his finger, swirling around it. Regulus always knew how to get James out of his own head. 

“Can you keep repeating that?” James pleaded. 

“As much as you want, love.”

[rhetorical-conscience]

James: So, what are you in the mood for today?

Regulus: World domination.

James: Love, we've been over th-

Regulus, interrupting: You're my world.

James: Awww, Reg!!!

Regulus:

James:

Regulus:

James: OH.

"Regulus doesn't get embarrassed," Sirius argues, rolling his eyes as he sips his drink. "It's infuriating. As his sibling, it's my job to embarrass him, but he just gets all...huffy and disappointed."

"Well, you are rather disappointing, acting like an idiot," Regulus drawls from his spot on the other side of the loose circle of friends, sending Sirius a smirk.

"But it's inhuman! I mean, I've tried everything! Embarrassing childhood stories, yelling at you in front of a crowd, sex jokes, everything!" Sirius whines, leaning into Remus's side dramatically.

"It's true," Barty nods emphatically. "I don't think I've ever once seen him blush. Even that time I gave him a lap dance during breakfast! It's like he's made of stone or something." He grins for a moment, "Or maybe he liked it."

"I certainly didn't like that," Regulus snorts. "I just didn't care. You were the one being obnoxious, not me. I'm not going to be embarrassed by your antics, that's your job."

But James decides he needs to set the record straight. Because Regulus certainly does blush. "I'm sorry, but Regulus blushes all the time!" he says loudly, grinning at bit as everyone looks at him.

"James," Regulus hisses, immediately frowning, looking like he wants to kill him. "No, I do not."

Sirius, however, is grinning from ear to ear. "Oh? What gets Ickle Reggie to blush, then?"

And, spurred on by the challenge, James crawls slowly over to Regulus, who is giving him a death glare, and leans to whisper in his ear, making sure to speak so quietly nobody can hear him.

"Hi, baby," he murmurs lowly, allowing his breath to tickle Regulus's skin. "You look gorgeous today."

The effect of the pet name is instantaneous. Immediately, Regulus turns bright red and lets out a little noise, stammering as he looks down to the floor. James laughs as he pulls back, grinning triumphantly, and Sirius yells out, "What did you say to him?"

But he'll never tell. "Nothing," James grins, already heading back to where he was sitting, enjoying the fact that he's the only one that can make Regulus Black blush.

“Jamie, pleeeease.”

“Reg…”

“I’ll break up with you if you don’t.”

“Reg!”

“James, I might die.”

James’ laugh almost bubbled over and spilled out, but he held it in stoically. Regulus would kill him for laughing at him right now.

Regulus gave James a death stare so intense others might have cried from. Not James though. James merely smiled and finally relented.

“Okay, yes, I’ll carry you for a bit,” James told his boyfriend, who had been dragging his feet through the amusement park for the last hour. 

“Finally,” Regulus groaned, hopping up on James’ back and swinging his legs to circle James’ waist.

James caught him and squeezed his thighs lightly. He loved carrying him around like this. And he knew Regulus liked to be carried. So it worked out pretty well for them.

“So which ride did you want to go on next, love?” James asked.

“The one with the snakes,” his boyfriend answered sweetly, angry tone completely evaporated now that he’d gotten his wish.

“That one’s on the other side of the park…” James said slowly.

“I know.”

God, James loved that man. Truly. Bless his soul.

Prompt 29 - Confront

The beautiful Dryad knelt beside him and waved one of her spindly-looking hands over him. The bindings around his body fell away, and he got to his feet. 

“What do you want?” he asked, looking at Pandora, who had her head tilted up, staring at the moonlit sky. He was on his own then. 

“You stepped into my garden, little one,” The Dryad spoke, her voice making him think of rustling leaves and bird song again. “All who trespass must be punished,” she said, so matter-of-factly that it sent a shiver down Regulus’s spine. 

“We didn’t do it on purpose, and it’s not like you had any signs to tell us not to go in there,” he argued. 

“There were many signs if only you had thought to look!” Thalira raised her voice. Gone was the sweetness, replaced by raging fire and howling winds. Regulus took a step back. “No matter,” she said, as though she hadn’t been furiously vengeful a second before. “You can help this sweet forest spirit with the task I have bestowed upon her,” Pandora skipped over and threw her arms around Thalira, her white-blonde hair tangling in Thalira’s wild locks. 

“What is the task?” he asked. He was no idiot, he wouldn't agree to do something when he had no idea what he was agreeing to. 

“That is not your concern, little one. My sweet spirit here will reveal all when the time is right,” Thalira turned and walked away, waving her hand one last time and returning the others to the clearing. Regulus had no idea where they’d gone, but he’d never been happier to see his brothers struggling form. 

“Reg? Regulus?!” James shouted. 

“Stop shouting. I’m right next to you, idiot,” Regulus grumbled to him. “They’re going to confront us,” he whispered to Pandora, so James wouldn’t hear. 

“They cannot know. Bad things will happen if we let anything slip,” She moved away from him as he bent down to help James. 

“Come on, let’s go,” he told his boyfriend, as he and the others began to realise they could see and move again. 

“Wh-what happened? Barty asked. 

“Thalira was cross that we damaged her flowers, that’s all,” Pandora answered. She gave him a knowing look that he wished she hadn’t because when he turned back to James, he was looking between them, his brows furrowed. Great, he was worse than Sirius when he smelled something was up. 

Together, their disgruntled, wary party fled the forbidden forest and hurried back to the castle.

“Baby, can you relax?” James turned on his seat to look at his boyfriend. His hands tense around the wheel.

“Don’t tell me what to do, Potter.” Regulus scolded him. James had a soft spot for Regulus’ stern tone, yet he knew how nervous he could get in new environments. 

“If you’re getting all ‘Potter’ on me then we are not going.” 

Regulus glanced at him for just a second, his expression a warning.

“So she can hate me before she even meets me? Brilliant, James!” He switched on the music—anything to distract himself from what was happening tonight.

James stayed quiet, watching him, eyes trained on the way Regulus gripped the wheel. He waited until his knuckles stopped turning white.

“She won’t hate you,” James assured him.

“How do you know that?”

“She’s never hated any of my exes.”

Regulus rolled his eyes. “Well, that just makes me more nervous.”

James softened, shifting to the voice he reserved for moments like this—when Regulus was stuck in his own head. “She will love you.”

Regulus let out a breath and dropped his right hand to James’ thigh. “Promise?”

Gently, James lifted his hand, pressed a kiss to Regulus' palm, then intertwined their fingers. “Promise, love.”

When they were two minutes away, Regulus started mumbling under his breath, too quiet for James to catch.

“What’s going on, baby?”

“Nothing.”

“This isn’t an exam, love.”

They pulled into the driveway, and Regulus rang the doorbell. Within seconds, Effie Potter opened the door, beaming.

“Welcome!” She threw her arms around both her son and his boyfriend.

“Un gusto conocerla,” Regulus said shyly.

Effie’s eyes widened as she turned to James. “Oh, I love him already!”

[melstinybrain]

james: could you hold this for me?

regulus: that's just your hand.

james: yeah.
