Summary
“Excuse me, you what?”
“I want you to take Regulus out on a date,” Sirius repeats casually as if he hasn’t just said the most absurd thing ever, watching the Snitch that had escaped James’ hand the second Sirius had made the ridiculous request the first time.
James stares at his best friend in disbelief, because what?
“Look, if you go on a date with Regulus, I can go out on my Moony date. My parents will realise that their stupid idea of cursing me with only getting to date once Regulus does didn’t work out because look at that, Regulus also dates! They reverse the magic, Regulus can happily go back to refusing to date anyone, I can go back happily dating Remus, and you can happily go back doing whatever you had planned to do this summer. Quidditch, I assume.”

Summary
Regulus Black infuriates James like nobody else. He is stuck up, conceited, arrogant, and an all-around asshole. Stab your finger into a thesaurus near the word prick, and you’ll come up with an accurate description of his character every single time.
But just this once, James will keep his opinion to himself. Anything to ensure Remus and Sirius’ wedding goes off without a hitch. He will be the bigger man. He won’t let Regulus rile him up, no matter how much he tries to get under his skin. No matter how much he flaunts those aristocratic cheekbones of his. No matter how gorgeous he looks with his guard down. No. Just. No.
As the best man, James is supposed to solve problems, not invent new ones. And lusting after his best friend’s brother? That’s a problem, alright. Unfortunately, his restraint only lasts until Regulus opens his mouth.
Turns out, one sentence is all it takes to blow the line between desire and hate to dust. “On. Your. Knees.”Series
