Secrets after Quidditch
Barty scowled at his boyfriend as he and his brother's friend, James Potter, walked through the door of their shared apartment. He hated that he and Regulus were sharing such a small space with two other men, but money was tight.
As James headed into his bedroom, the smallest of the three, he turned and gave Regulus an exaggerated wink. "Remember what I said!" he called, and he ducked into his bedroom quickly. When the sound of music followed, Barty turned and glared at Regulus. "What the hell was he talking about?"
"Oh, Barty, not now," groaned Regulus, rubbing his temples. "James and Sirius absolutely caned me at Quidditch practice today. I can't be bothered."
"Where is Sirius now?"
"He went to see Lupin."
"Yeah, I'll bet," scoffed Barty. "Leaving you and James to walk home alone."
Regulus shot Barty a glare. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"Well, you're always coming in here, giggling and joking and making comments that I can't understand!" snapped Barty, his voice rising considerably. "He's clearly got a thing for you."
"He has a girlfriend, you idiot." Regulus flopped on the couch beside Barty and pulled off his trainers.
"So, what you're saying is, if he didn't have a girlfriend, you'd go there?" Barty raised an eyebrow, and Regulus threw himself back on the couch, covering his face with his arms.
"Do you hear yourself right now? You can't get jealous of every man that I talk to, Barty!"
Barty pursed his lips, and carefully collected himself. Regulus was right. He was being an idiot. "I'm sorry," he muttered, folding his arms.
Regulus yanked at Barty's arm, pulling him down so that he was lying on top of him. Gently, he placed a wet kiss on the tip of Barty's nose, and smiled. "You know you're the only guy for me."
