Regulus Arcturus black was the most mesmerising person he had ever seen. From the moment he saw him, James was trapped, like a fly in a web. At the time, in second year, he’d thought it was hatred. But it wasn’t, was it?
Over time, he came to realise that what he felt for regulus wasn’t hate at all, but love. Although there is a very, very thin line between the two.
Even when he knew he should’ve hated him, James loved him. James loved him with everything he was.
In the end, hatred and love were two very different things for James Potter.
The moment Regulus Black laid eyes on James Potter, he hated him. Even before that, he hated the idea of James Potter. He hated his stupid face, his stupid, bright smile and the fact that he’d taken away his one lifeline in the cold life he lived.
The thing was, James potter was everywhere, there was no getting away from him. In the beginning, it was fine, fun even, James, along with Sirius, mocking him, picking fights with him. He could deal with that. But then, encounters like that became less and less, replaced with James’ bright smiles, his futile but constant attempts at becoming friends.
That was what broke regulus in the end, what made him admit that what he felt for James potter was more than just hatred. It was love.
Loving James potter was all consuming, regulus became love for James, all the while hating himself and James for it. He hated and loved James potter right up until the end, even after those cold dead hands pulled him into the black water, he hated and loved James more than anything.
In the end, hatred and love were the same thing for Regulus Black.
This is happening and I won’t be taking any arguments
I think we're all missing something very important
He's cheering

It’s always “regulus fell first but James fell harder” but what if James fell first and regulus fell harder?
Regulus, not sure why James potter, popular, bold and loud, was interested in him. Regulus feeling things he’s never felt before and wondering why he felt like that. Regulus realising that he loved James, his love for James becoming all consuming, him being scared because he’s never felt like that before, nor has he ever had someone feel love for him that James potter did.
Regulus loved James so much he gave the ultimate sacrifice for him, but he didn’t realise that James loved him just as much as he loved James, he didn’t realise that what he did would affect him in the way it did. Why would he even think about it? No one had cared about him before. But James potter loved regulus black more than anything, and a part of him always would.

I had this really weird dream last night that regulus was going to work but Sirius had taken his phone and he was really upset. Then James came and stared baking him a new phone. Like full on eggs and flour and shit. It was really cute but I’m still kinda scared. Like what was that about??
The truest thing I’ve ever read
Baz has a slutty man waist and Simon has daddy broad shoulders, pass it on
James was the sun, but get too close to the sun and you get burnt.
