James:
He woke Up early because fucking hell did He Love Christmas. Was it worrying how much he'd thought about His kiss with Regulus? Maybe. Did He have way to many Dreams about him and Regulus being more then Just Friends tonight. Sure. Was he going to think and worry and Break His head over that? Maybe another day. Beacause today was Christmas and nothing could Ruin that.
He got to His Closet and took Out a Gryffendor Sweater that Said JP on the Back and some black Low sitting Jeans He got from Marlene Last year. He then Put on His usual Shoes. And took the Small BAG He magically extendet with His Gifts in them.
Then He went down stairs. His father another early bird and Christmas Lover was allready in the kitchen.
”Hola, papá, ¿cómo estás en esta hermosa mañana de Navidad?” He asked getting His dad to Turn around a Coffee mug at His lips where a Smile formed it's way.
”Buenos días hijo, estoy bien. ¿Y tu? ¿Escuché que tuviste otro incidente con muérdago ayer?” His father greeted.
Great so His dad knew about it wich left No Chance to Not think about it. But He could Tell His dad about the confusion He was going through right now, in the Love spectrum right?
”Todo es un poco confuso en este momento. Siempre pensé que amaba a Lily, pero ahora ni siquiera estoy seguro de si alguna vez la amé o sólo estaba impresionado. Y el beso con Regulus fue tan diferente a todo lo anterior, se sintió tan bien. Pero aunque él me guste más que la amistad, desde luego yo no le gusto más que la amistad.¡Y encima acabo de aceptar una cita con Amos Diggory! ¡No puedo darme cuenta de que me gusta otra persona!” James immidiatly started to Ramble. Beacause IT was confusing. Lily, Regulus, Amos. How was He supposed to get a Look through that?!
”Oh James. El amor puede ser confuso a veces, pero te conozco muy bien. Y sé que puedes hacerlo. Pero tal vez primero deberías tener una cita con ese tal Amos, ver qué se siente y luego seguir adelante pensando. No es como si estuvieras comprometida con él después de una cita.” His father advised.
And yeah He was right. Maybe James should First try and Go Out with Amos and See how He feels after wards. Beacause one Date couldnt harm!
”Thanks dad.” He Said. They'd still have the whole day ahead of them since they only celebrated and exchainged Gifts after 7 o'clock. So He decidet to be a good friend and wake Up Sirius and Remus, so they could Spent the day.

Translation:
”Hola, papá, ¿cómo estás en esta hermosa mañana de Navidad?”="Hello, Dad, how are you on this beautiful Christmas morning?"
”Buenos días hijo, estoy bien. ¿Y tu? ¿Escuché que tuviste otro incidente con muérdago ayer?”="Good morning son, I'm fine. How are you? I heard you had another mistletoe incident yesterday?"
”Todo es un poco confuso en este momento. Siempre pensé que amaba a Lily, pero ahora ni siquiera estoy seguro de si alguna vez la amé o sólo estaba impresionado. Y el beso con Regulus fue tan diferente a todo lo anterior, se sintió tan bien. Pero aunque él me guste más que la amistad, desde luego yo no le gusto más que la amistad.¡Y encima acabo de aceptar una cita con Amos Diggory! ¡No puedo darme cuenta de que me gusta otra persona!”="It's all a bit confusing at the moment. I always thought I loved Lily, but now I'm not even sure if I ever loved her or if I was just impressed. And the kiss with Regulus was so different to anything before, it felt so right. But even if I like him more than friendship, he certainly doesn't like me more than friendship, and on top of that I just accepted a date with Amos Diggory! I can't realise that I like someone else!"
”Oh James. El amor puede ser confuso a veces, pero te conozco muy bien. Y sé que puedes hacerlo. Pero tal vez primero deberías tener una cita con ese tal Amos, ver qué se siente y luego seguir adelante pensando. No es como si estuvieras comprometida con él después de una cita.”="Oh James. Love can be confusing sometimes, but I know you so well. And I know you can do it. But maybe you should go on a date with this Amos guy first, see what it feels like and then move on thinking. It's not like you're engaged to him after one date."
--------------------------------------------------------------
Sirius:
”I fucking hate you James yoh know that right?” He exclaimed ,with a tired voice, rolling Out of bed to Look Up at James Who Just came into their room to wake them. Really, just because James stood Up early it didnt mean Moony and He himself Had to do so too.
”Yes I know that you're desperatly in Love with me. Now come on and get Up. I want to have a fun day in the forest before the Gift exchange.” James Said smiling at both of them.
”In the forest? James Not to Sound Rüde or Something but, it's bloody fucking freezing Out there!” Remus Said, sitting Up.
”Well i could Go alone but I thought since Sirius is basicly my second mother or is atleast acting Like one right now, No offence, wich would make you, Moony, my second father, you would want to Go with me? I wouldnt mind of you didnt but you know Thought I'd ask.” James explained. And it wasnt true Sirius didnt behave Like a mother around James! He was simply, worried.
And to prove to James that He didnt think of him as a Baby He Made a quick decision. ” Go alone prongs I don't mind.”
”Perfekt.” James Said before exidetly leaving the Room.
It took Sirius about thirty Minutes before He started with, ”do you think He is allright?” and ”should i Go looking for him? What If He needs Help? At Hogwarts He was attacked in a forest! Maybe I should Go Check in him.” but Remus Made Sure Sirius didnt Go after James and reasured Sirius the whole time.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Regulus:
He woke Up to the Sound of someone Reading next to him. ”James Just Kissed me! I can't belive it. It was so magical. More magical then I could ever imagne and i am a Wizard! And His lips. Oh merde, His lips! How can lips be so soft and perfekt. His Kisses are Like drugs,so fucking addicting. And then a whole Lot of French untill... This Boys plan is to fucking kill me. If I See anyone flirting with him i think I will just Hex them.” Barty read, His Journal!
Regulus was fully awake immidiatly and snatched If from Barty. ”Good morning Reggie.”
”Don't and I repied: DON'T ever read my journal!” He Said. Putting it away and smacking Barty across the face.
”Looks more Like a Diary to my Beautyfull eyes.” Barty Said Holding His cheek but a fucking grin in His face.
”I do Not own a Diary only a journal.” Regulus deadpanned.
”Same thing.” ” No it's not.” ”Yes it is.” ”No the deffinition of a Diary-” ” OK, OK i get it Not a Diary then. Jeez Regulus it's Christmas i don't need to hear the deffinition of diary.” They Both went quiet for a while after that untill Barty Said: ”You know hexing everybody that Flirts with James might acctully Work, a jiggle Leg hex to make them embarrass themselves and poof James doesnt have anyone but you to Flirt with him.”
”We are not- you know what. I acctully don't mind.” Regulus anwsered.
”Wow one kiss with Potter and suddenly you are Not reasonable any longer. How interesting.” Barty said Grinning.
”Shut Up, allright? I am Just saying that, that is better then Your Love potion Idea.” Regulus Said rolling His eyes.
”Poor Amos. That Date won't Go well.” Barty Said. Regulus Felt Kind of Bad He didnt want to Ruin James's Love live! He Just didnt want him to have one If it wasnt with Regulus.
And now that His Dreams introduced him too that sweet Boy, he Had to get tge Chance to get that live. Regulus usually didnt Like Kids but that one seemed different. He also never imagned a Futur with anyone. What was this House doing to him? Was it really turning him soft? Ew. No way!
-
Regulus decidet to head down to the forest. He Out a warming Charm in His clothes and started Walking. He Thought about writing some Poetry so He took His Note book with him. Yes He writes Poetry, so what? Sue him really.
In the forest He saw James With the Niffler Family. The Same White niffler Niffler with Brown Patches was on James's Hand giving him Kisses again, while another compleatly Brown in was sitting in His Hair a going in His Hand.
James was laughing. It was such a Beautyfull, lovely Sound. Loud and full of live. It was comforting and immidiatly filled Regulus's Heart with Love and affection.
Regulus decidet to quietly make His way Past James and the Nifflers. But the Niffler in James's head spotted him and then Hit James's head untill He turned around.
”Wha- oh hi Reg!” James Said smiling warmly.
”Hi James. Sorry I Just wanted to Go to relax somewhere and I didnt want to bother. But i guess that little one right there wouldnt let me Go.” Regulus Said pointing to the Brown Niffler.
James Put down the White niffler with Brown Patches that stopped Kissing him, then He waited about Two seconds before the Brown Niffler understood and decidet to climb down His face.
He slipped from James's Hair,Holding in to it with His Hands, while His outstreched Body coverd James's face. Then slowly He Put down in Hand onto James's glasses and then the other. James got His Hand Up and placed it right under the Niffler, letting it sit on it. The. He smiled and Returned him to His Family.
Regulus couldnt Help but Smile. That was just about the most adorable thing he has ever seen. And James was left with hair that was a bigger mess then the usual.
”Oh yeah Cedy over Here Loves to do that. Really You get quite used to it after a while, but it's still a Bit exausting.” James Said, still smiling at Regulus.
”Yeah? Well I better get going. I want to get some Things done,Bye!” Regulus Said, continuing His way into the forest. He just allways had to push James away or flee when He Had the Chance to Talk to him didnt He?
”Bye” James Said turning Back to the Nifflers. Well that was rather weird. James wasnt bothering to annoy Regulus or Something Like that? Did their kiss disgust him away? What was wrong? Where was the annoying James, Regulus acted to hate but acctully Loved?
He went to a little Spot He found at the end of Summer Holidays. And sat down. Then He got Out His Note book and started to write:
~
The Sun is to bright,
How could a Star next to her Look right?
Love, Attention and warmth giving,
Allways brings happines to the living.
How could the Sun Love a Star?
So tiny not Close more far...
Far from shining as bright
Or bringing as much delight.
The Star and the Sun it couldnt Work,
But Dreams die Last is what I Heard.
~
Yeah this was allright. Poetry really helped Regulus. It helped him to get over His Feelings. And since right now He Had a Lot of Feelings about James, Here we Go a Poet about the Impossible Love between a Star and the Sun. »Pathetic« he thought. Beacause how pathetic was it to do that? Heres the anwser: Really fucking pathetic.
--------------------------------------------------------------
James:
Finally it was time for the Gift Exchange. They (Remus, Sirius,Effi, Regulus,Monty, Barty and James) we're all sitting together.
James Had allready gotten Out all of His presents ready to give them to everybody. He handed them Over and waited for them to Open. He was known for His way of finding perfect Gifts.
First Sirius opend His. It was a Picture of prongs and Padfoot together, playing. Under the Picture was a new lether Jacket, with a Patch of a paw. ”Thank you prongs it is perfect!” Sirius Said hugging James.
Next in Line was Remus. James Had gotten him a Lot of chocolate, a book and a Charmed book Mark with a Picture of the Marauders in it. ”Thank you prongs. I really apriciate it.” He Said giving him a gentle Smile.
Then It was Effis Turn. James knew His mother Well. So Well that He knew she wouldnt Accept Something bought. So He wrote her a Card and created magical cupons that she could use for hugs or cooking and stuff Like that. ”It's perfect. Thank you dear.” she Said gently hugging him.
After that it was Montys Turn. James got him Two Tickets to His Favorite Musical. He knows His father Loved Date nights to the theatre and so He got Tickets. He of cours also wrote a Card. ”Thank you Jamie. It's perfect. But Who knows Maybe I will introduce Regulus Here to the Art of Musicals this year!”
Regulus looked at monty with a Bit of Panic in His eyes and James had to Stop himself from laughing. But now it was Bartys Turn.
”The great James Potter have me a present. Before I Open this i must Say i didnt get you one. And i don't Feel sorry one bit.” Barty Said before opening His Gift. James didnt know Barty well but from what He knew, He could Tell that Barty Liked to embarrass His friends. And what would be better for that than a camera? He also got him some gummy Worms. ”Merlins Beard! Thank you James. Really.” Barty Said with a wide Smile. James also gave him a Smile.
And now at Last it was Regulus's Turn. James got him three Things one French Poetry book, a Ring and a keychane Telescope that He hexed to get to it's orriginal size when you'd Say ”Je regarde les étoiles”, since He Had noticed that Regulus seemed to have a interest in Astrology. ”Thank you James. This is really nice.” Regulus Said.
” You havent even Seen the best Part yet.” James Said Grinning and getting His wand Out. ”Would you mind setting tagt in the Floor?” He asked pointing at the Telescope. Regulus did as He was asked and James pointed His wand at the Telescope saying: ”Je regarde les étoiles.”
The Telescope immidiatly grew Back to it's orriginal size and Regulus looked at it in awe. ”Thank you so much I..”
”I realized that allways having one with could Maybe Help while stargazing and this in is Like five Times better then the ones from school so... Yeah. I thought you would might Like it.” James Said quickly.
”Are you kidding I Love it! How do you get it Smal again?” Regulus Said.
”Oh yeah you Just do this.” And with that He Tapped the Telescope three Times it immidiatly got Back to pocket size again. James picked it Up and handed it to Regulus.
Then Sirius Said: ”Prongs Open my Gift!” ”Yeah, right Pads.if this is a prank you will pay.” ”It is Not I swear!” ”Allright then.”
James opend the Box to find a Brown Sweater that Had stag antlers in it's Hood. ”This is brilliant Pads! Where the Heck did you find this?” ”In some muggle Shop. I knew you would Love it.”
”Are stags Your Favorite animals or? Because I dnt get the joke.” Barty Said a confused Look on His face.
”Oh when James snores He Sounds Like a stag thats also why we call him prongs. When I laugh i Bark Like a Dog wich makes me prongs, Peter Loves cheese and once Had a Rat tail in His bed wich makes him Wormitail. And since Remus over Here dosent have any flaws, but loves the moon and Kind of feels Like the moon in our friendgroup He is moony.” everything was correct to a Point, exept of cours the fact that Remus was supposed to Love the moon. Because No Remus Lupin didnt Love the moon, He hated the moon to be exact, James knew and understood that.
”Ah makes sense.” Barty Said. Next Moony have him Something. ”Moony I told you that you shouldnt get me anything.” James Said. Because He knew the Lupins didnt have much Money, so buying Christmas presents for Remus's Friends wasnt a good Idea.
”I know but I wanted to give you Something atleast. It's Not much but it's something.” Remus Said smiling at James.
James took it smiling Back at Remus. He opend it and it was one Picture frame with a Picture of Regulus Kissing James's Hand. When did He Take this? ”If you Tap on it Here it Changes to another Picture you might like” Remus Said smiling mistiviously. James did as He was told, and there was a Sirius black with the stag stuffed animal He got for James to His Birthday, yes Sirius allways gives him stag related stuff, on James's bed sleeping.
”When was this?” James asked. ” One week after Your Attack He slept in Your bed untill you woke Up with that stuffed animal and Said it's His only way to Connect with you” Remus explained.
”Awwww Pads! That is so sweat! Thank you Remus, this is perfect!” James Said looking at Remus. James could Hear Sirius mumbeling ”Traitor” but didnt give it much thought.
”James your present from us is in here.” Effi Said smiling at him. She gave him an envelope, but Not Just him everybody in the Room got one. Inside the envelope were Quidditch-worldcup cards.
”Thank you Effi and Monty i Love you so much!” Sirius Said hugging them. James was sitting on the Floor untill now so He stood Up and hugged His Parents, saying ”thank you. I love you so so much.”
Regulus, Remus and Barty Just looked at their cards saying: ”thank you very much.” in Union.
After a Moment of everyone gathering their Thoughts Regulus Said: ”Right i got a Few presents too. I still got the recieps tho If oyu want to Exchange them...” He Said before getting Out three boxes and Two envelopes.
He handed one Box to Barty, one to Sirius, one too Remus and one to James himself. The envelopes went to Effi and Monty. Regulus was now Just sitting there Smal in His Spot on the Couch. »Woah He must be really nervous about this« James thought.
Effi opend the envelope and as she read it her eyes started to fill with tears. When she was done Reading, she stood Up and went over to Regulus. With a teary voice she asked: ”Is it ok if I hug you?” ”Yes it is ok.” Regulus Said Standing Up. They shared a Hug and James had to fight tears crawling Ingo His own eyes, it was such a sweet Christmas miracle. Then Fleamont opend His own Letter, read it and Said: ”Oh Regulus Boy, this means so much to me. Thank you very very much.” while taking Regulus's Hand And squeazing it.
Then Sirius opend His Gift. It was a mug that Said Idiot with a Picture of Sirius. James chuckled. Because that was so Regulus. “Thank you Regulus.„ Sirius said pointing at Regulus with his tongue.
Now Remus slowly unraped his present. Inside was a book. „Thank you Regulus. It's quite funny I got you the exact same book. I hope you don't have it already...“ Remus said handing Regulus a box.
“Oh no I don't I wanted to get one but I thought I could just ask you if it's good before I get one myself. Thank you“ Regulus answered a small smile appearing.
”My turn.“ Barty said, exidetly. He packed out his present to find a small lighter inside. “Oh reg, you know me so so well! A muggle fire device! The perfectl thing to piss of my father and light stuff on fire!“ Barty said grinning.
Then James was the only one left to open his present. He started to open it. There were two things inside. A sketch book and a little sun fidget toy keychane. Before James could say anything Regulus said: “ I read somewhere that drawing and these toys can help with ADHD and since you told me about yours I thought it would fit but I still have the recipe if you don't like it. I never gave presents out before so I wasn't sure...“
“ Don't worry Regulus. I love it. And you are right these things do help with ADHD so thank you.“ James said smiling at Regulus. James could practically see the tension leave Regulus's Body before he said: “Ok that is good then.“
They then had a pretty relaxed night. Just talking and laughing. At some point they all went to bed tho.
