   Summary

   Inspired by One Day (the book and the tv show)

   Two people meet, they spend the night together and somehow, they are bound for the rest of their lives — none of them knows how, or why. They just know there is something there — something about this day, this moment, this person.

   Or James and Regulus have a one-night-stand — or so Regulus thinks. James just thinks that he talks a lot and kisses a little. And that they are going to be in each other's lives for years to come...
