Summary
A Muggle AU in which a ballet dancer and a rugby player call it “casual” while accidentally developing feelings, catastrophically failing at communication, and pretending it’s all totally fine.
----
“Why the hell are you here ruining my lunch, James?”
James rubbed a hand over the back of his neck, trying to find words that didn’t sound completely insane.
He failed.
“I... don’t think you should be sleeping with Evan anymore.”
Regulus stared at him like he’d just proposed murdering the Queen.
(...)
“If you need a fuck buddy for, you know, stress relief and stuff… You could just use me.”
(...)
“Come again?”
“If the position’s open,” James said, attempting a grin, “I’m applying.”----

Summary
“Hm”, James hummed, “I think I can change your mind about relationships.”
“Nah, I don’t think so”, Regulus laughed.
James smiled at the most gorgeous person he had ever laid his eyes on and shrugged his shoulders, feigning nonchalance. “You know, I told you I like a good challenge.”

Regulus is just a med student in his fourth year trying to finish his degree without adding additional stress to the mix of his already fucked up life, when one famous football player stumbles into his life and decides to haunt him from that moment on, trying to make him fall in love with him while forcing him to confront a lof of the demons hiding in his head.
