Chapter Text
Regulus is annoyed. Hours earlier Sirius has burst into his room saying they are going on some roadtrip with the whole group. In his opinion it couldn't be worse; their friends are completely different and hardly get along but does he have any other choice? No. He doesn't have anything against most of his brother's friends except one.
James fucking Potter
Regulus hates James. The very thought of him is enough to make his toes curl. James is an insufferable idiot who thinks he is so much better than everyone with an ego the size of the country. He definitely isn't really fit and he hasn't been crushing on him since forever. Sighing he takes out his phone.
Regulus:
Is everyone else coming on this trip?
Barty:
Yeah! It should be fun!
Evan:
If you lot are going so am I
Dorcas:
Yeah, my gf is going
Pandora:
Yes!! Obviouslyyy!
Regulus:
I seriously doubt that this won't be a disaster. And we have to deal with my brother's stupid friends.
Dorcas:
Excuse me but my gf is one of those friends! But I won't lie the others are.
Barty:
You sure you aren't just annoyed BC Potter will be there?
And you don't have like the biggest crush on him?
Regulus:
Not true. He's just insufferable.
Pandora:
Reggue stop lying to yourself.
Evan:
Reg its so obvious it can be seen from space.
Regulus:
Shut up! I do not like him!
Dorcas:
You really do. You aren't fooling anyone.
Barty:
I bet you are blushing right now.
Regulus:
I am not. I hate you all.
Regulus can feel his cheeks growing warm, groaning he throws his phone down onto the bed. He does not like Potter he thinks to himself throwing the final items into his bag zipping it up.A knock at the door pulls him back into reality.
"Come in."
Sirius's head pokes round the corner. "All ready and packed?"
"Yeah I'm done."
"Great!" He jumps onto the bed jolting Regulus. "Excited!? This is going to be so fun!"
Rolling his eyes "Sure now calm down Sirius it's just a trip." The truth is Regulus is completly placid to the thought and can't wait for it to end.
"Come on Reggie, lighten up. It's going to be fun whats not fun about it?"
"The fact I have to deal with your friends for the next two weeks and survive a 6 hour journey in the same car as them" He scoffs. The idea of sitting in the same car as Potter for 6 hours makes him want to break something or set something on fire
"Chill out Reggie it's just a trip. And they aren't that bad neithers James he is just trying to be friends"
Rolling his eyes Regulus can think of a lot of things he'd rather do than go on this trip."Potter is an insufferable prick and as for the rest of them.. well they are just annoying"
"Stop calling me Reggie will you as well."
"Okay okay." Sirius holds his hands up in mock surrender. "Just so you know James is on his way. He'll be here in 20 minutes or so. And be nice okay" He walks to the door, looking back.
"Ugh. No promises" watching him walk out the door.He flops backwards on the bed. This trip hasn't even started and I'm already fed up.Groaning Regulus takes out his phone checking the time.
6:45 flashes back at him. Potter was supposed to be here by now. Making us get up at the crack if dawn just for him to be late himself Regulus thought irritatedly as he looked out the window at the car pulling into the drive. Sighing he grabs his bags lugging them down the stairs.
Sirius yells up the stairs "Reg! He's here!
"Coming!" Sighing Regulus lugs the rest of his stuff to the door and outside.
Blinking harshly in the bright sun although it's the middle of winter, he makes out Potter's figure by the car. Of course the imbecile is just wearing a t-shirt and jeans but still looks insufferable hot. The t-shirt fitting snuggly on his figure and his arms on display. Those arms that are going to kill him. Regulus can feel his heart beating faster at the sight of him. Scowling he approaches the car pushing down his attraction to James.
"Hey Reggie!" James calls out to him.
"Don't call me that" Regulus scowls back at him. How can someone me so cheerful this early in the morning? He throws his bags into the car.
"Seems like someone woke up grumpy today." James grins at him.
"Not everyone wakes up at the crack of dawn like an energetic puppy" Regulus scoffs sitting in the car.
"Touché"
Regulus rolls his eyes at him. The way Potter never rises to it amazes him, he has the patience of a saint or something. He watches as James sits in the front of the 10 seater and Sirius slides into the passenger seat. With a roar the engine comes to life and they go to pick up everyone else.
Regulus settles back in his seat looking out the window.
Two weeks of this , two weeks of hell. He thinks to himself gazing out. Hopefully the rooming will be good as they stop to pick up the Rosiers.
