Summary
A Muggle AU in which a ballet dancer and a rugby player call it “casual” while accidentally developing feelings, catastrophically failing at communication, and pretending it’s all totally fine.
----
“Why the hell are you here ruining my lunch, James?”
James rubbed a hand over the back of his neck, trying to find words that didn’t sound completely insane.
He failed.
“I... don’t think you should be sleeping with Evan anymore.”
Regulus stared at him like he’d just proposed murdering the Queen.
(...)
“If you need a fuck buddy for, you know, stress relief and stuff… You could just use me.”
(...)
“Come again?”
“If the position’s open,” James said, attempting a grin, “I’m applying.”----

Summary
Regulus isn’t blind. He knows he’s attractive. He just never learned how to handle compliments. Potter realized that from the very first time he whispered some innuendo in his ear, when Regulus grew into a stuttering, flustered mess, so unlike his usual self. Potter must be quite the sadist because Regulus has become his favorite target since then — all his charm laser-focused on him, extracting the most embarrassing of reactions.
That stops tonight.
With some help from the devil on his shoulder — namely Barty Crouch Jr. — Regulus has devised a plan to put Potter back in his place. If he plays his cards right, he won’t be the one squirming this time.
Or
James is a relentless flirt. Regulus retaliates.

Summary
Regulus bursts into laughter. The sound is lovely. So, so lovely. It sends a pang through James’s chest, and it takes him a few moments to recognize it.
I’m jealous, James realizes, I’m fucking jealous.
This is no longer simple attraction. It’s not about how mesmerizing Regulus is on stage or how objectively stunning he looks in tight clothes. That can be chalked up to neglected physical needs, but this… James wants to be the one to make Regulus laugh like that. He wants to share those intimate, conspiratory glances with him.
James Potter has a crush on Regulus Black.
A crush like he’s a bloody teenager.
Or
James Potter has never seen Regulus Black as anything other than his best friend’s little brother. When Regulus returns to England after five years abroad, that changes.
