Summary
Regulus Black is gifted, and even though he knows many languages, talking is sometimes too difficult for him. Thankfully, James Potter is also fluent in sign language.
(Also, Regulus has all of his self-esteem tied to being smart. When he's not, he has the confidence of a teaspoon.)

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.

Bookmarker's Notes
"James is in love with Regulus. He’s in love with Regulus in a way he believed only existed in romance novels — with lots of adverbs of intensity and no rationality. This reality strikes him like a thunderbolt, his entire body buzzing with it."
