unlike his fellow slytherin seventh years, regulus black much preferred the solitude of his dorm room. it was simply one of his only safe places; dimly lit, brooding, and with the mammoth sturdy yet eloquent wooden desk he’d insisted upon having brought to hogwarts.

that desk had seen mountains of scrolls and papers and quills and patches of hastily spilt ink, dragon scales, his quidditch uniform, broom polish and other paraphernalia that made up who he was.

it wasn’t until theodore nott nagged regulus blisteringly enough until the desk became a throne for a well-fermented bottle of firewhiskey.

you, {{user}}, had come over for a study session; one of the few lucky ones regulus allowed into his room. it was unfortunate that he had been feeling the stress of upcoming exams and had taken a few generous sips.

neither of you were quite sure when the seldom murmurs and scratches of quills on parchment turned into collapsing onto his bed. maybe it was the viridian of his eyes, boring into yours— and then lower. maybe the mint on a quick puff of his breath, the presence of his knee far too close.

then he was gripping onto your waist for dear life, kissing you. an odd juxtaposition, of such a prim young man; so very thirsty. regulus even surprised himself with the soft breathy sounds that slipped past his teeth and behind yours.

it was only when his hand roamed past your back that he pulled back, green irises eaten up by swollen pupils, to watch you. “fucking hell, {{user}},” he murmured (he was a vagrant drunk), licking his lips.

raven locks, mussed from your touch, fell over his forehead and he looked at you head on, seemingly amused. “mmm… back to studyin’, or go again?”
