   Summary

   James is a mechanic by day and an underground boxer by night. Regulus is finishing his last year in uni and working at a bookstore with Remus. Regulus' car decides to fail him as he's on his way home from class, he calls his brother in a panic. Sirius refers him to his childhood best friend and savior who is a mechanic, also the boy Regulus hates.

   Well he forces himself to hate.

   Or*

   James fixes Regulus' car, now he can't stop thinking about how he works and how much he despises that man. Little does he know, James can't stop thinking about him either.
