his body betrayed him long before his mind could catch up. barty wasn’t the only one burning with need after all. spine arched, as though his body refused even an inch of space between them. chest brushed barty’ with every ragged breath, lips chasing his without thinking.

[𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔥𝔢𝔦𝔯. @heirofblacks]

he barely registered the door behind him, completely consumed by the dance their lips is playing to actually care about their surroundings . desperation makes him reckless, perhaps that’s why he never allowed himself to feel this before ——

doesn’t mean it will stop him now …

[𝐂𝐫͟𝐨͟𝐮͟𝐜͟𝐡͟. @abrutalserpe]

As much as he wanted to let Regulus take the lead, he kept pushing forward, driving his “𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥” backwards until he hit the door with a gentle thud.

Crouch didn’t break the kiss, 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣’𝙩, his urgent breath mingling with the other’s as both hands curled into the

[𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔥𝔢𝔦𝔯. @heirofblacks]

regulus’ lips traced along his friend’ lower lip, slow and soft, completely the opposite of the way their body feels now pressed against one another .

his other hand slid to barty’ waist, fingers curling in a promise. he wont run away. not again.

[𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔥𝔢𝔦𝔯. @heirofblacks]

he hasn’t realized it before, but with every kiss they share it’s like the kind of hunger that had lived between them for years finally breaking free. for once —— regulus allowed himself to lean into it instead of running away …

[𝐂𝐫͟𝐨͟𝐮͟𝐜͟𝐡͟. @abrutalserpe]

It’s all he wanted, for Regulus to admit how he felt even without words, because he didn’t need words —— he needed 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 —— the quiet, intimate proof that his best friend felt the same.

With each breathless kiss, Crouch’s need for him grew into something he could

‘cause i could give you all you want, the stars and the sun, but still i'm not enough.

[𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔥𝔢𝔦𝔯. @heirofblacks]

and this is why he knew how dangerous this is, because he’s willing to let it happen no matter how many times he told himself it wont.

he kissed back with soft, trembling urgency, trying to pour every word he couldn’t utter into every kiss.

[𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔥𝔢𝔦𝔯. @heirofblacks]

regulus’ fingers fisted in the fabric of barty’s shirt, dragging him closer without even realizing he was doing it, lips parting eagerly beneath the force of the kiss.

any attempt at restraint or at logic, it all shattered the moment he kissed him like that …

[𝐂𝐫͟𝐨͟𝐮͟𝐜͟𝐡͟. @abrutalserpe]

If he could, Crouch would take those chaotic thoughts and keep them all for himself —— he wouldn’t mind adding to the 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 list of burdens he’d learned to shoulder in silence if it meant his best friend could breathe a little easier.

But right now, he wanted to prove

heat crawled up his throat, blooming across his cheeks, fingers loosened the grip on barty’ hair slid down to the back of his friend’ neck.

regulus didnt dare to speak, tilting his chin upward, closing the distance between their lips .

[𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔥𝔢𝔦𝔯. @heirofblacks]

if only he could .

regulus wished there was a button to turn off the chaos inside his head, to stop eating himself up all the time. his breath stuttered as he hovered over him —— bloody barty and his long legs …

[𝐂𝐫͟𝐨͟𝐮͟𝐜͟𝐡͟. @abrutalserpe]

“Stop thinking.”

It was easier said than done, Crouch knew that, but with his best friend this close —— this 𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙙 —— he needed him to feel rather than retreat.

With green hues still locked on Regulus’s face, he continued his trail of kisses upward until he

i don't think i'm meant to be with you
i don't wanna make you sad

his thumb brushed barty’ temple, shakily . “ for being —— difficult . for avoiding you. i didn’t know what to do ..

i didnt know how to handle what happened . “

[𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔥𝔢𝔦𝔯. @heirofblacks]

a soft, helpless sound escaped him .

regulus’ hand moved before he could think —— sliding into his friend’ hair, fingers curling there with a desperate gentleness. it overwhelms him how barty is raw and direct with what he wants, while he’s on the opposite side …

[𝐂𝐫͟𝐨͟𝐮͟𝐜͟𝐡͟. @abrutalserpe]

Regulus, to him, was precious, worth it —— someone to fight for even when he didn’t know how, amidst all of the confusion and the chaos he pretended he could control.

All he wanted in that moment was to show his friend how much he couldn’t stand the thought of losing him.

[𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔥𝔢𝔦𝔯. @heirofblacks]

he finds every reason to deny what he feel and his wants.

“ i dont —— “ words trembling on the edge, “ i dont want you to go . i know im being difficult, im sorry . . .

i just … “ …

[𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔥𝔢𝔦𝔯. @heirofblacks]

no one kneeled for him before. no one chose him like that.

regulus felt stripped bare under that gaze, yet he couldnt look or push him away. “ get up —— what are y’ doing ? get up .. you’re drunk . “

[𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔥𝔢𝔦𝔯. @heirofblacks]

breath stuttered in his throat, lips parting slightly .. no one has ever looked at him with such want before —— as if he was something previous and worth it . somthing worth breaking for.

“ barty .. “ ..

[𝐂𝐫͟𝐨͟𝐮͟𝐜͟𝐡͟. @abrutalserpe]

“You don’t need to pretend, not with me.”

A broken whisper, thumb grazing across Regulus’s lower brim, 𝙖𝙙𝙢𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜, before he dropped to his knees and held his friend’s waist with large hands.

If his arsehole father could see him right now, he would laugh, call him
