“That feint? It was beautiful Reg, I mean it. I—God, watching you I just—how did I never notice before? How did I never notice what a fucking star you are?”
Regulus snorts. “Literally.”
“Yeah,” James says without the sarcasm. “Yeah, but you are though.”
Something shifts in Regulus’s expression that James doesn’t understand. They’re still so close, he can practically feel his breath.
“Guess you weren’t looking,” Regulus says eventually.
It takes a moment for James to realize what he’s saying. “Maybe,” he answers finally, “but I’m looking now.”
