    Summary

    This was the last thing that any one had expected. There’s a tense silence over the great hall as James and Regulus part from each other, grins on their faces.

    ...

    When Sirius turns back to his table, he doesn’t miss the looks that all of their friends are giving him. He doesn’t miss the way that Remus has pressed a hand to his arm and raised an eyebrow that Peter is giving him. He also doesn’t miss the way that several eyes from not only the Gryffindor table but several other tables bore holes into his back.

    But Sirius doesn’t grace them with the response that they’re expecting.

    Because he’s known for longer than all of them.

     

    ...

     

    James and Regulus announce their relationship in a very dramatic way--usual for a man like James Potter--but the Gryffindors are more shocked by the way that Sirius reacts to their relationship; not at all. And that's because Sirius has known about them for longer than any of them realize. They're childhood friends and Sirius has watched his brother and best friend fall in love, he's seen the way that they're perfect for each other.

    Summary

    "Baby Black, do you maybe not hate me?" James joked in a way that made Regulus feel uncomfortable.
    "You are the most annoying person I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. And that says a lot considering the absolute gems I've met in Slytherin."
    "A joke. Regulus Black made a joke. A mean one, at my expense, but a joke nonetheless... You know baby Black, we could be friends."
    "I would rather fling myself off the Astronomy Tower..."

    ***
    Or: Regulus is concerned about Sirius after their mother orchestrates a horrible attack. And with Sirius out of reach he relies on James Potter to know his brother is okay. Except their meetings keep happening, and their conversations keep falling away from Sirius. Falling for James Potter might just be the most reckless thing he's ever contemplated.
