It was James’ birthday.
Regulus had gotten him a nice cologne and a pair of shoes James had been whining about for months.
At James’ birthday party with all their friends, Regulus had given James his gift and James had loved it. Back at his flat, James told him thank you and given him a kiss.
But he didn’t know Regulus had another gift for him.
So when Regulus showed up at James’ flat unannounced and wearing his low-rise, baggy jeans that sat on his hips and a tight black crop top, he couldn’t help but smirk when James opened the door and gaped at him.
James pulled him into his flat and promptly shut the door.
Regulus put his hands on his hips and whispered into James’ ear, “Happy Birthday, Jamie.”
Regulus saw James pupils multiply a million times in size when they stopped to gaze at Regulus’ hips. Where he had a brand new tattoo of deer antlers on each hip bone. The ends of the tattoos snuck under the waistband of Regulus’ jeans.
James dragged his gaze back up to meet Regulus’ eyes.
He held that gaze as he dropped to his knees.
