    Summary

    As he looked in the mirror, he saw the caring concentration on Elizabeth's face as she brushed his hair. He tried to not wince as his scalp was tugged.

    He had never given much thought to what grew out of his head. Once Victor left, it started growing and would not stop. As far as he could tell, it did not do anything. It was the one part of his body that seemed to have a mind of its own.

    "What is its purpose?"

    “Hair, you mean?”

    He gave a small nod, trying to tamp down his embarrassment for asking such an elementary question.

    Elizabeth, however, treated it as any other question, as if he had asked for the time. "We're mammals. We all have it somewhere. In animals, it covers their whole bodies for warmth. For us, it simply prefers our heads most of all.”

    Us. The word struck him. To Elizabeth, he was no different from her. In doing this act, she was letting him into a part of her existence. Something private, unseen by the outside world. He was willing to go wherever she would lead him.

    Summary

    “I am so– oh, hi, you are very pretty – wait let me –”
    Regulus tears his eyes off the now empty paper cup on the curb to watch the stranger who’d caused his morning to take a quick turn to the worse.


    or: Regulus' morning takes a turn for the worse. For once he doesn't mind, though.

    Summary

    “Alphas,” Regulus mutters. “Think they’re oh so powerful, waging wars and violence to impress one another. But you're not like that, are you, James? No, I know what you truly desire.”

    “And that is?” James’s voice was deep and gravelly.

    “Comfort,” Regulus replies instantly, and he thinks he falls in love a bit more when James’s eyes crinkle softly. “Flowers and declarations of love, authority and belonging.” He pauses before leaning forward, close enough that if anyone were to see them they would surely think something scandalous. “My cunt,” he whispers. James digs his nails into the palms of his hands. 

    “And you could have all of that,” Regulus continues before backing away and starting to head down the hall. “After you fulfill your promise of meeting my dragon.”

    Regulus Black has many suitors in line for him as heir to the Iron Throne, but he has already made the decision in choosing James Potter. He wants James to be apart of his life, and meeting his dragon is a special part of that, no matter how scared the other man may be.
