I wanna be the pretty red head, and I hate that.
But I think that might just be the regulus in me
I'm talking no hesitation. When someone asks I know he wouldn't answer to keep the peace but deep down inside who do you think crosses his mind first?
"I'll be there for him with open arms, open legs, and an open mouth" but it's Regulus Black talking about James Potter
Okay, we all know that sound off TikTok that says something similar to "it didn't matter how many times he changed the introductions or rewrote the story Aaron always fell in love with her.... Everytime". Well my brain refers everything back to Jegulus and I'd quite literally die if there was a fic written in the similar format about those two oblivious in love 70's boys. So hear me out.
Regulus oblivated James after Christmas hols because he was forced into getting the dark mark and couldn't stand putting James in danger in case he stayed or hearing James break his heart in case he left so in a act of selfishness and bravery he oblivated him that night in the astronomy tower. What regulus didn't know was that James had fell in love with him third year. He fell in love with the stories Sirius would tell, the picture that Sirius would proudly show off, and the rude spiteful little boy who he only met a handful of time. In the fear of losing his best friend he raised his wand to his temple and muttered the obviate spell in front of the mirror out of pure childish stupidity. He realizes now that it could've gone terribly wrong if he lost control of is magic or didn't focus on what exactly he wanted to forget but now he knows that when you're young and you're not rehearsed in a spell the images and thoughts come back with time. It lasted till fifth year till he started to hang around regulus a lot under the disguise of trying to bring both black brothers together again. They dated in private in fear of regulus's parents only allowing close friends in on they're secret relationship until that fateful night in the astronomy tower.
Ik this is only thought up half way and there is 100% plot holes in this. But I honestly think it would be a grate read especially if after the war James ends up falling in love with him again. I headcanon that Reggie is trans so I think it would be cool if James had fallen in love with him before he transitioned and even more after without realizing it to show the whole "rewrote the story" aspect.
yk I think drarry might have been the first fanfic I've read and I always come back to it. Done with the hyper fixation of that new show? drarry. Done falling head over hills in love with that new character from that book I started? drarry. Obsession with that new ship finally dulling down? drarry. But as of late the only thing I can think about is jegulus like I used to deeply hate jegulus bc no drarry?? But now I could give less of a fuck if that little shit named Harry Potter appears in a Jegulus fic or not.
Regulus Black is such a "fuck around and find out" kinda person...yk?
Y'all remember crimson rivers??
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.
i hate angst but here it is.
When James and Regulus were together in Regs 6th year. Sirius had a tattoo gun. When James and him were alone in the dorm they thought it was a good idea to tattoo and little "J" and "R" on each others hips bc no matter what happened they would always at least be friends.
After 5 years they meet again. The war is over and the wizarding world is safe (no help from dumblewhore). Regulus and Sirius reunite and fix they're relationship reconnecting James with Regulus again. Regulus is in a shorter shirt that's tight around his torso and ends at the middle of his belly button showing off the beginning of his v line and his hips. The singular "J" is no longer there but is replaced with "JFP" directly on Regulus hip bone. Which causes James to forget how to breathe and completely stare unashamedly because not only did Regulus not cover up the little part of him that was left after they're split. He added onto it making it undeniably obvious that him as a whole belongs to James and always will no matter what side of war was chosen or how long the split lasted.
James can flirt. He's got a flirty personality, and sometimes he doesn't even realize he's flirting. He's a flirt and a charmer. But, when it comes to regulus all he can really do is exist. All his thoughts go to mush and he just dopy smiles bc he's just happy to be there.
