Regulus x James

Two boys from opposing worlds find their paths unexpectedly crossing under the starry sky of Hogwarts. Regulus Black struggles with feelings he dare not name while James Potter seems determined to break through his carefully constructed walls.

Regulus would never admit it aloud, nor in his head for that matter, but he didn't get James as much as he claimed he did.

He was standing at the top of the astronomy tower, lost in thought as he gazed at the stars. The crisp night air nipped at his cheeks, carrying the distant sounds of laughter from the castle below. The sudden presence behind him stayed hidden, until the person it belonged to voiced it.

"Beautiful night, isn't it?" James Potter's voice cut through the silence, casual and confident in a way that immediately put Regulus on edge. He stiffened, fingers tightening around the cold stone railing as he debated whether to ignore the intrusion or respond with the cutting remark that rose to his lips.
