"This is ridiculous."
"Shh," James scolded lightly. "This will be fun, you'll see."
"James," Regulus said slowly. "I am not climbing on the roof of the Astronomy Tower with you."
James stuck his lip out. "Please?"
The youngest Black brother crossed his arms. "You're a great bloke, sure. But you're absolutely mental. This isn't just risky, it's dangerous."
James stood on the ledge, secretly enjoying the way Regulus' grey eyes followed his movements worriedly. "I've done this loads of times. You won't fall. Besides, I have a surprise for you."
That did it. Regulus never could resist a surprise. He was very curious, and hated not knowing something. "Fine," he grumbled. "But if I slip and fall—"
"Your ghost will haunt me, got it," James interrupted impatiently. "Hurry up!"
The climb was slow going, but James didn't mind so much. He enjoyed the feeling of Regulus' soft hands in his own calloused ones, and the summer night was pleasantly warm. Finally they reached the top, and Regulus stood up cautiously, his arms out to the side as he tried to keep his balance. Having no such troubles, James walked a few steps forward and then plopped himself down, patting the roof next to him invitingly.
Regulus carefully trod over, and gingerly lowered himself down next to his boyfriend. James watched with a small smile on his face as the younger boy shifted into a more comfortable position. After a moment of silence, James realized that Regulus was waiting for him to reveal the surprise.
James grinned widely, waving his arms around. "Ta-da!"
Regulus looked around, a small frown on his face. "Er… the sky?"
"No. Well, sort of. The stars!" James waited anxiously for a reaction, and when he got none, he wilted disappointedly. "You don't like this, do you?"
Regulus looked at him curiously. "You brought me up here… to go stargazing?"
James' hazel eyes were troubled. "It was supposed to be romantic."
Regulus hurried to reassure him. "It is! It's just a bit…"
James sighed. "Cliche?"
"Well, yes," Regulus admitted. "But I was going to say unexpected. I didn't know we did stuff like this."
James opened his mouth to defend himself, but Regulus silenced him with a kiss.
"Don't apologize. I love it. Now shut up, we have some stars to watch."
