(For context: James and Lily dated for a short while in their seventh year. After they broke up, they decided they were better off as best friends. They’re in uni now and are still close as ever.)
Lily says, slapping James’ ass as they pass by: Hey, hey James!
James, eyes widening as he slowly turns to look at Regulus: Uh.
Regulus growls as he digs his hand into James’ trousers’ pockets, searching for something.
He pulls out two identical rings, turns to his boyfriend who does the same and holds his left hand. He slips the bigger ring onto James’ ring finger. James gently takes the remaining ring and repeats the same.
They both turn to Lily and Pandora with their left hands up to display their matching rings.
Lily’s jaw drops to the ground: ?!?!??!!!!
Lily then pulls Pandora’s wrist to lay on her forearm; showcasing their matching bracelets.
James just as shocked: WAIT-
(They were indeed close, but as uselessly gay they are, forgot to mention that fact to each other. They’re happy for one another, just shocked.)
regulus: and then this weird guy with glasses came up to me and said 'hi, sorry to bother you but i wanted to give you my number because you look so much like my first husband. it's so odd, i've never been married' and he just left. like i said, weird

james would carelessly call regulus angel one day. he wouldn't even notice that one of his deepest thoughts escaped from his mouth. regulus would stay still, and he would pretend that he didn't hear. however, that same night, when james kisses his forehead before going to sleep, regulus would ask james to call him that again. his angel.
I had to put them together. They deserved to be together even before their first interviews. They deserved to be together since that snowball on the back of James's head, duh
Jegulus hallmark movie with James and his son who love christmas and Regulus as the son of the Black family company CEO who comes to visit his disowned brother in a small town for Christmas-
James regrets telling Harry that Regulus would be coming over today. The entire morning is spent trying to keep the little toddler in place, which proves to be harder than James imagined. Harry refuses to eat his breakfast because he’s ‘waiting fow weggie!!” his three-year-old exclaimed, refused to stay still and let James bathe him after said breakfast because, “what if we miss when weggie comes?” and then subsequently refused to sit down and watch tv, instead…he stood staring at the door for the last 5 minutes.
James sighs, “are you sure you don’t want me to put Bluey on for you haz?” he tries again, but all the Harry does is pout and place his bottom on the floor as he stares determinedly at the wooden door frame. “I waiting” he proclaims proudly, and James resigns to his fate as he sits on the couch, facing the door to watch his toddler.
After another 5 minutes, Harry starts to get restless and squirms on the floor, James adjusts and almost moves to get up to ask him if he wants to do something else before a piercing squeal echoes through the air as Harry catches sight of Regulus getting out a cab.
Harry’s tiny feet carry him to the front door as he stretches his arms to try and reach the door handle before Regulus even makes it down the small footpath, James rushes to his son, picking him up, who is chanting “weggie, weggie, weggie” on repeat. James snorts a laugh before putting him on his waist and opening the door.
James and Regulus make eye contact and before they can do anything other than share a sweet smile, Harry launches himself out of James’ arms and into Regulus.’ “Harry!” James scolds as he tries to wrestle his toddler back into his grip only for him to relent when Regulus places his hands under Harry’s arm to hold him.
“Hey, there Haz” Regulus says softly with a small smile as he tucks one of his stray curls behind his ear. “Have you been giving your dad trouble?” he teases the toddler as he fixes his skew glasses and Harry only pouts before dragging out a long “Nooooo” with a small giggle.
James can only shake his head as he watches the two of them interact. He places a soft kiss on Regulus’ cheek before he ushers them inside, “He was a nightmare, you’re going to have to start staying nights at this rate” James whispers in his ear as Harry drags them both to watch Bluey.
“I couldn’t think of anything better” Regulus replies as they all settle in, Harry laying haphazardly on top of both Regulus and James with his half-eaten breakfast laying on the table.
james with a powerpoint: things I would trade my boyfriend for *first slide* none, he is the one true love of my life, my twin flame and the person i want to spend the rest of my life and start a family with, i wouldn't trade him for anything in the world because he is worth more than anything else and i love him to death
regulus: oh, baby
james:*slide two* the quidditch world cup
regulus:...
sirius:...
peter:...
remus:...
regulus would call james on vulnerable occasions, when he feels so loved and trusted on those days when they sit smoking on the balcony with strong coffee on sunday mornings, jamie. no love, no darling, no potter, no baby or james; his jamie. regulus would say it so delicacy and with so much affection, with the power of knowing that he is the only one who shares the mornings with james potter.
This are the events that in my opinion were the hardest for Regulus since the first arena. His brother volunteering, his first death, his best friend dying in front of him, knowing that he would never be able to return home if James didn't go with him? Ok, that was definitely painful.
