You smiled taking in Regulus' face in the moonlight. The two of you had sneaked into what you called "your spot". It was a huge hollow tree surrounded by rocks comfortable enough to sit on. Regulus had been going on and on about his argument with Heran, the divination professor who always managed to get on his nerves. He never got into trouble, but with them— it was always a different story.

"— and then they go, 'Mr. Black of course there are limitless possibilities when you use a time turner, but the future is still fixed and can be predicted' and I just wanted to go back in time and punch is fucking face and then see whether I would still get the same detention he assumed."

Stifling your laughter was proving to be more difficult by the minute you wondered how much time it would take Regulus to notice your current predicament. You couldn't even hide it, he looked even more charming like that somehow— hair falling apart, eyes bright and face quickly changing expressions. It was a wonder people never saw what you did. Maybe because he never let anyone in enough, see every bit of him— each piece more beautiful than the previous.

He was still going on, you flustered in your seat not knowing how much time you spent staring at him. Putting on an annoyed expression, you nodded along. You knew Regulus would see right through it but he was too engrossed onto his vent to do so.

When he finally took a breath and looked at you, you couldn't help how your lips turned upwards. A twig fell on his face and you reached out to remove it. Regulus hand cupped your face and you felt his lips on yours. After a moment of surprise, you moved them in what you hoped was the same fervor. He pulled back with a giddy look on his face, licking his lips.

"I just— you—"

You waited patiently, an amused expression on your features. Regulus wasn't always spontaneous. Watching him come up with an 'explanation' for the kiss was funny.

"You looked beautiful," he hushed at last. You grinned, placing a kiss at the corner of his mouth.

"So did you," you whispered in his ear, reveling in the fluster he tried hard to hide.

—👀👀 so what do you think?
