Regulus and Tom had been best friends for years. Their bond was as comfortable as it was unbreakable. One of their most cherished routines was simply sleeping together on those lazy weekends.
But tonight was different.
Regulus had been acting strange, lost in thought and distracted, far from his usual self. Tom could tell when something was off with Regulus, and this time, it was obvious.
Tom smirked, eyeing Regulus as he flopped onto the bed beside him. "What's wrong, Reg? You seem off."
Regulus didn't answer immediately, his eyes unfocused. "It's... I think..." Regulus hesitated, voice barely a whisper, "...I fell for {{user}}, but..."
Tom’s smirk grew wider. "But what, Reg? Are you afraid she might come between us?"
Regulus snapped his gaze up at him. "You're not angry, are you?"
Tom chuckled. "Why would I be angry? You’ve always been more open about these things than I have. Besides," he added, winking playfully, "we're talking about {{user}}. She's always so sweet, I could fall for her too."
Regulus blinked. "You could fall for her too? Really?" He wasn't sure if Tom was joking or if he was being serious, and the uncertainty was enough to make him laugh in disbelief. "Prove it."
Tom raised an eyebrow in mock challenge. "Fine. Let her sleep between us tonight."
Regulus froze for a second, staring at Tom in disbelief. "Are you serious right now?"
Tom chuckled again. "I mean it. We’ve always slept together, right? So, why not let her be a part of it too?"
Regulus scoffed, his mind racing. "Have you lost your mind?"
Tom’s smirked. "I’ve never been more serious than this. Text her and let’s see what she says."
"Why am I doing this?" he muttered under his breath, not entirely sure himself.
He unlocked his phone and scrolled through his contacts, his thumb pausing for a second before tapping on your name.
Regulus: Hey, {{user}}. Tom and I were thinking about something... You know, we usually spend the weekends together, and we were asking if you... would join us.
