Regulus spun around so he could stand in front of Remus. "Woah, everything is spinning," he said, as he laced his fingers behind Remus' neck. He had done this before, hadn't it? He remembered doing it, but not when. And really holding onto Remus was the only way to make things stay still for a while.

"I don't know. It's juice and it's sweet and good, and four... five... six, seven- look I can count," he said, laughing. "What did you ask me?" Something about glasses, but he couldn't remember.

"You smell nice, did you know that? Because someone should tell you? I bet Sirius never told you, too busy looking at himself in a mirror." Regulus burrowed his face in the nook of Remus' neck and breathed in, before drawing his head back. "Yes, you smell good. I missed waking up with that smell."

"It's a good thing I showered before coming to the party, then," Remus said, words more gentle than the teasing he was aiming for.

Note to self, he thought. Regulus is a snuggly drunk. Placing his hands on Regulus' hips to steady his friend, he tried to ignore the little swoop in the pit of his stomach at Regulus' words. They were still only a few days from waking up and realizing their memories had been swapped, that they'd thought they were married, soulmates the way Lily and James were. There were bound to be residual...instincts...from the memories they'd made together as a result. It wasn't...real.

"Come on," he suggested, looking around the room for a vacant seat. "I think we'd better get you sitting down before you fall down if everything is spinning."

"You always smell good, even before a shower. Even before we both needed a shower," he said, laughing, because that sounded so very amusing for no real reason.

"Nah I want to dance. I don't know how to dance, though. Not this. Know all the proper dances. There's nothing proper about this. Mother would be disappointed. In me too. I still want to dance," he said with a pout.

Regulus leaned into Remus, much like they had done the week before when their minds weren't their own and he nipped Remus' neck. "Or we can make out, and drink. Or drink and make out. I like sex with you but not here," he said, giggling. "Can't have sex with Sirius around."

"Learning to dance while the world is spinning might not be as fun as it sounds."

The damnable thing about seeing Regulus like this, uninhibited and vulnerable, was that it made Remus feel even more protective than he had begun feeling already as a result of their friendship. If he'd been sober, none of these words would have been coming out of Regulus' mouth and Remus knew it.

He was ignoring the voice in the back of his mind that said the pout was adorable.

"Regulus," he said softly, putting enough distance between them Regulus' attentions to his neck would stop but not enough he had to let go of the younger man and couldn't support him in his unbalanced state. "We are not going to make out while you're drunk." Remus was trying not to choke at the idea of having sex right there...or that Sirius' presence was the primary deterrent! He didn't peg Regulus for an exhibitionist, either. "Why don't we sit?" he tried again, on the off chance Regulus' earlier confused short term memory would let him forget it was the second time.

"You make the world not spin. I just have to hold on to you." It seemed simple enough to him. "Maybe we shouldn't move and then it won't spin. We can dance right here. While not moving. Or moving a little. What were we talking about?"

He took the final sip of his drink, smiling. "Empty. I need more."

Regulus looked at Remus all serious. "Why did you push me away? I liked kissing you, your neck. Told you you smell good." He grinned. "We can sit and make out. That's good yes? Yes! Let's do that, but sitting requires moving. I thought we weren't moving. You're confusing me."

Remus could only think this was residuals from the memory swap talking. "That's because I'm literally holding you up," he replied squeezing Regulus' sides gently for emphasis. Keeping his reactions practical, instead of reacting to the more...intimate...connotations one could make with Regulus' words if one didn't know about the previous week's experiences, seemed the best course of action. Even if he couldn't help the way such statements as I just have to hold on to you made his heart swell a little, likely from his own memories of the previous week and experiencing that connection that didn't belong to them with Regulus.

"I think you've had enough of those," he said, unable to help a chuckle. "You're going to hate yourself for them in the morning when you're sober."

Closing his eyes briefly, Remus pushed his own memories of what it had felt like to kiss and touch Regulus because he had liked Regulus kissing his neck, too. Too much. "I'm not making out with you when you've been drinking this much," he explained gently when he opened them, trying to make Regulus understand, even if he suspected it would do no good. "You ask me to kiss you when you're sober?" He lifted one hand to cup Regulus' cheek. He was a werewolf, not a saint, and despite knowing they'd only been together because of James' and Lily's memories, he couldn't help thinking of Regulus in a different way than he had before. "Well, then, maybe. But, we can move just enough to go sit down and I'll try to keep the world from spinning too much for you."

"You are, aren't you?" Regulus said, chuckling. "You're stronger than you look." He had realized that when they were together, not that he had said. It had been sweet and romantic. "I hate sweet and romantic, should have told you how much I liked your strength when we fucked instead. Much better than sweet and romantic. I think I'd throw up with sugar right now."

Merlin, he didn't feel well. His head hurt, his stomach hurt. "I should not have more." He raised his head to look at Remus. "But I like them. Why have I never had them? Right, no time with the war. The war sucked. Finding a wife sucked too."

Regulus laughed. "We did more than make out when sober, don't you remember?" His eyes went wide. "Are you having memory problems? The castle is bad with those." He smiled mischievously before leaning in and kissing Remus. "There, now I kissed you, so you're fine and we can make out." He sighed. "Fine, we can move and sit down, but the world isn't spinning if we stay like this."

"I think you're going to throw up sugar or no sugar," Remus teased, steadfastly ignoring the commentary on their short-lived sex life. He'd never used his strength in any meaningful way in bed and didn't know if he liked the feeling the thought invoked. Besides, he was sure neither of there had ever had romantic sex before thinking They were Lily and James. So, who was to say what they enjoyed or not?

And why was he even thinking about it?

For a moment, he half-chased after another kiss, catching himself before he could do so. "I remember very well," he said, a slight husk to his voice. Turning so he could put an arm around Regulus' waist and support him that way, he steered then in the direction of a secluded table where at least the other man's current state would no longer be on display for the entire party to witness. "But, we're still not doing any of that when you're not sober." He may have let Regulus talk him around to thinking he hadn't taken advantage of Regulus before But he would definitely be taking advantage now if he let Regulus have his drunken way.

"That doesn't sound good," he said, making a face. "I don't throw up," he said, sounding more like his ten year old self that the man he was today.

"You're not fun tonight. Aren't you supposed to be fun? The marauders and all that rubbish." Why was Remus so boring tonight? "I feel good. Happy." He walked slowly because happy or not, Remus or not, the world was spinning again. "We should sit down. I'm queasy and the room is spinning. Did I say that already? I thought that. Did I say that I want you to stay with me. I like it when you stay with me.It's less lonely and I want to kiss you... even when I don't drink this juice," he said giggling. "Oh look, a table. You found it. You're smart... for a Gryffindor." Regulus sat down gingerly and pulled the other chair closer. "Here this way I can still feel you."

"You don't like the Marauders," Remus pointed out with a shrug as he helped get Regulus settled. Even as he was taking the seat next to Regulus...where he could still feel him, he was firmly reminding himself Regulus had asked him not to kiss him. It was hard to remember the previous week, to have that memory of Regulus' skin under his hands, his cries in his ear, and not want to give in and kiss the younger man as he seemed to want. But, keeping Regulus from feeling lonely wasn't enough and Remus knew when Regulus was in his right mind he didn't want Remus. They just shared memories and experiences while under the influence of the castle.

Still, it would take a stronger man than Remus to deny Regulus his company when he was asked to stay with him. "But, of course I'll stay." They could find a hangover cure somewhere to send Regulus back to his rooms with for morning.
