   Summary

   “Okay, okay. You’ll find someone to pine after soon enough, though, I’m sure.” Sirius gets up and goes to James’ overflowing chest of drawers, pulling one open to look for a more suitable pair of jeans.

   James goes back to looking in the mirror.

   “I don’t pine,” He mutters.

   ***

   British modern high school AU where James is the popular jock/ football star and Regulus is the quiet artist who couldn't be less bothered by status or popularity.

   They work on a project together. Pining ensues.
