No Going Back
xXx
Remus avoided Regulus' eyes as the Slytherin sat down at the table across from him.
Regulus wasn't to be deterred. "You've been avoiding me. And in the library of all places! I know you don't have any exams coming up."
Remus buried his nose in his book even more.
Regulus wasn't fooled. "I know you're a bookworm at heart, but don't you think you're taking it a little far?"
Remus sighed. Who knew Regulus would be as annoying as his brother. Remus always thought it was Sirius' Gryffindorishness. It must just be a Black trait. "Go away. Please," he added at the last minute, finding it impossible to not be polite.
"Nope." Regulus popped the 'p' in the same way Sirius did.
"I refuse to be your flavor of the month."
Regulus flinched. "I know I've had a lot of boyfriends, but I hardly consider them flavors of the month. We dated, and it didn't work out, so I found someone new."
Remus remained stone-faced. "And now I'm your next target."
"I like you. Is that so hard to believe?"
Remus' shoulders slumped. "Kind of. Considering how much you hate everything Gryffindor."
Regulus stood and came around the table, choosing the chair next to the one Remus currently resided in. "Maybe you're the exception."
Remus' breath hitched in his throat. "Don't look at me like that."
Regulus smirked. "No going back now."
Remus swallowed. "Sirius would hate this."
"Another positive," Regulus murmured.
"I can't resist you," Remus breathed.
"Then stop trying," Regulus ordered before he sealed his lips over the older boy's.
Their kiss was soft and exploratory, nothing like what Remus imagined it would be. After all, Regulus was intense and passionate. Remus didn't mind the surprise, though. In fact, with the way his spine tingled, he could say he really enjoyed it.
Remus pulled back briefly, only for Regulus' lips to come crashing down again, this time with the fiery passion he imagined. His last thought before he succumbed to Regulus completely was, 'I wonder how long we can keep this from Sirius.'
