“James,” Regulus greets him when he crosses the threshold of their home.

There is no “I'm home” or “James, are you here?”, no. Regulus' tone does not promise anything good — it is tense and demanding.

Turning his whole body to his lover, James tries to imitate the happiest smile possible. “Yes, love?”

Regulus appears around the corner of the room, looking for him. When he finds him, his arms immediately cross over his chest, his gaze nailing James to the spot. “That's a serious question.”

“Of course you can ask,” James' soul is already on its way to his heels.

“Me or Sirius…” he pauses, and by now James' soul has already descended to the level of his knees, ”Who's more dramatic?”

James' breath seems to get stuck somewhere in halfway through. If this question was about anyone, he would have answered that no, Regulus is not dramatic at all. No, he is the best of all, and no one else can compare to him.

However… if he answered Sirius now, it would make Regulus happy. Sure enough, that tense look would disappear from his face, and his eyebrows would relax. A satisfied smile will return to his lover's face, and maybe even Regulus will come closer and lean in to give him a gentle kiss as a real greeting.

And then Regulus will call or text or even go and tell Sirius in person. Like, “Look, even James thinks I'm better, ha! And we can trust James' judgment.” And this will turn into a little nightmare for James for the next few hours, because Sirius won't let it go.

No, the weather forecast warns of record rainfall in the form of “you've been like a brother to me, I never expected such a betrayal!”, we recommend that all Jamestown residents stock up on Dominos coupons, because only the promise of a bachelor party and ten Diablo pizzas can avert a natural disaster.

James can't help but cringe at the thought of such a scenario. But then again…

He imagines how he would feel if he were to say Regulus' name. He won't hear an answer right away. In fact, he won't hear a word from Regulus for the next week. He won't see him for days, he can only feel the warmth of his body next to him at night, but trying to hug him casually in his sleep will risk losing his arm. And no coupons to Dominos or any other establishment, no movie tickets or anything else would save him from the crisis.

The fact was simple: the amount of drama in the Black family's blood does not differ that much. But each of them finds a different way to process this drama.

A wise man once said that of two evils, choose the lesser one.

So James huffs as if the question is stupid in itself, rolls his eyes and says, “Of course Sirius…”

*Regulus finds out Voldemort was Tom Riddle*

Regulus: you’re NOT a pureblood?

Voldemort: well, no, but i am slytherin’s descendant. my father was a muggle—

Regulus: YOUR FATHER WAS A MUGGLE??

Regulus: AND YOUR MOTHER COULDN’T DO MAGIC??

Regulus: YOU’RE A QUARTER BLOOD

Voldemort: That’s not a thing

Regulus: Your nose is not a thing

Voldemort: Avada Kedavra

I need this handbag that Kohaku has, girll where can I get one

When I was a kid, I once got attacked by another kid and in the squirmish I made his nose bleed, he was shocked by that which allowed me to take control of it and knock him the fuck off me. After talking to the principal and shit I got suspended for two weeks and that kid literally got ice cream and taken back to class, when my mom had issue with it she got told he was a "good kid" who went to the same church as the principal so he couldn't possibly have done that. that day onward he kinda saw harassing me as a free pass cuz he knew he'd get away with it, which in turn other kids would start to try it to, and id end up in fights i never instigated, and i'd get slapped with the label "problem child" and had an inescapable negative rep that almost landed me in juvey once even though there was literal video tape evidence showing i defended myself.

this isn't really going to some profound point or anything it's just like, religious people start harassing people they seem unworthy even young and shit ruins lives. it's bizarre to me atheism is viewed as this inherently reactionary concept when Christians are harassing literal single digit age children for going to a different church than them.

Sirius: *irritated* Just because I can turn into a dog, does NOT mean I act like one.

James: *raises eyebrow* Oh, yeah?

James: *throws quill across the room* Hey Padfoot, go fetch.

Sirius: *actually fighting himself to hold still* I despise you.

Remus: Here, I got an idea.

Remus: *walks over and tips Sirius' chin up with his finger* Who's my good boy?

Sirius: *absolutley melts*

James: *reluctantly impressed* Get a fucking room.

pro-tip: don't ever use the sentence "thousands of years" in your worldbuilding unless you really know what a thousand years is like
