Summary
He’s off, running across James’ backyard, until he reaches Crouch, whose expression softens at the sight of him. And then—and then—and fucking then James’ world crumbles beneath his feet. Everything goes silent, all the Cicadas suddenly dead and buried. Not even the trees sway with the light summer breeze, almost like the whole world has paused to give James room to digest what he’s fucking looking at.
Because—because—because then Regulus is fucking jumping—no joke, jumping—into Crouch’s arms. Crouch receives his meagre weight easily, lifting him off his feet and twirling him around once, before setting him back down onto his feet.
And then. And fucking—fucking then—
Then, Regulus leans up into a kiss, and James’ heart fucking shatters into thousands of little pathetic pieces.
Or, Regulus has run away from Grimmauld Place, and is now living with the Potters. Throughout the summer, James and Regulus have developed a friendship, and this newfound closeness leads to James developing feelings for Regulus. James plans to confess to Regulus at the bonfire party the Marauders organize every year the week leading up to school—except it all quickly goes wrong when Regulus’ friends join the celebration.
