hiccup with a dragon shapeshifter reader; no one in berk rlly knew but it was rumored that a witch lived on the edge and perhapsss he finds her there :3
tyyy!!
Versipellis
Pairing: Lycanwing!Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III x Lycanwing!Reader
Words: 878
After convincing Berk to move, Hiccup finds a strange dragon rider flailing around in the sand. Except… You have no dragon. Fortunately, you’re no stranger to him or Berk. You do, however, bring to question quite a few odd things about himself. 
Tags: the Hidden World, thw, httyd 3, AU, no light fury, gender neutral reader, nakedness, flashback, Suggestive Content, beginning removed
Next>
Hiccup hobbled slightly, gritting his jaw as he lifted himself over gnarled tree bark, grabbing at the branches of trees as he moved forwards.
His spine ached like a razor set of blades had been dragged up it, scratching along his ribcage as he went.
It was different from the pains that centered in whatever part of his leg that had been ripped and severed and rendered all a mess, though that part of him was aching too, causing muscles to tense and his eyes to shut in agony.
 Secretly though, he knew that pain had been there longer, beginning at a time when he was fully able-bodied but still decidedly frail.
He’d dealt with it when he was an apprentice slaving away over heavy swords and metal ores and he’d deal with it now. Not many carried much sympathy for the troubled, and troubled he was.
He didn’t know what to do with the dragons. Not after Grimmel.
Without a council or any advisor, the burden of managing everyone fell to him.
The idea of freeing and learning about dragons became less and less appealing the more overwhelming the work got. With a growing frequency, he needed to be reminded why the bond between man and lizard was worth protecting.
As he hauled himself up using the crumbling, rough-barked end of a branch, he tightened his grip on the end of a thick bundle of cloth in brown.
What fabric he couldn’t manage easily in front was easily thrown back over his shoulder, catching against leaves, causing his shoulders to jerk and his aches to worsen.
He’d grabbed it on a whim, knowing he might like something to sit over, but now it seemed like more of a burden than anything as he walked up an incline.
He was close- just one more step.
His life was a series of ‘just one more’s. 
He wondered if he would ever get to where he was going.
Hiccup let out a breath as he stepped over a short ledge.
He paused for a moment, looking out at the world from underneath furrowed brows, something in his chest dragging as he took in the drop. It wasn’t steep, but the sand would make it difficult to climb his way back up, what with his screaming body. 
If he went back now, though, that would have meant that his journey would have been made a waste.
Before him was a rippling lake, a few flat stones sticking out from the sand and its surface. Grazing over the small beach, something gave him pause.
He felt oddly calm- and by oddly calm, Hiccup meant… What, excited? Startled?
He felt way too much, though not as much as he would have expected, considering the circumstances- not with the way he recalled heavily sweating palms and a heart beating so fast it rendered him winded.
By the water, sitting and shifting in the sand was… a person.
It was you.
Glances at you stolen between two hefty bodies in the old village- past all his ogling, before he had gotten over his teenhood fancy for Astrid, but long after he’d picked up the one he’d had on you, you’d met eyes once back on Berk- the real Berk, the one that’d existed before he’d messed it up with his own hands, building fragile homes and carelessly slapping garishly bright, painted colors onto their walls... not whatever this place was, new to them all and only just slightly less alien.
You’d never talked.
And how pathetic was that?
Hiccup was a twenty-one winters old man, still stuck staring out at the world like a foppish teen from a rickety forge window.
“Oh.” You said simply, looking at him, then looking down, as if you thought you ought to cover up, though you didn’t seem too hurried. 
While you were distracted, he cautiously, greedily took in bare skin.
He didn’t think it was obvious that he was looking, with the way he kept all his limbs appropriately close to his person.
He should have been ashamed, but he was sure if he didn’t take the opportunity now, he’d never get the chance to again.
He was aware as you turned your attention back to him. 
“You’re… Chief, right?” You asked hesitantly. 
It was expected. 
Hardly anyone acted like it. If they did, they never treated him as such. He appreciated the recognition anyway.
Hiccup responded, “Yeah… Right. I am.” 
It was awkward talking to each other from such a distance, and yet with him unwilling to come down the slope and you rendered still and careful by your own nakedness, the two of you were stuck at odds. 
He kept his gaze on the general you for a moment longer than was necessary. To be fair, though, with the distance between the two of you, it was hard not to look at you without seeing all of you.
“Ah,” Hiccup started, looking around. 
Over extruding log-parts and thick leaves, there didn’t seem to be any cloth. No leather, either, or furs- not even a boot.
Weird, though he wasn’t complaining.
“Do you… make a habit of being naked in the woods?” Hiccup asked apprehensively. 
If so, he should make a habit of coming out more often.

Plz can you do the HLC reaction to finding out MC is a mermaid/siren (pirates of the Caribbean type of siren yk) and baby they found out because of her voice or they saw her transformed. thank you ❤️
Hi anon! Thanks for the request, I did my best! I actually am not familiar with the sirens in the Pirates movies, so I went more with mermaids as they are in the HP universe. So, unrecognizable and kinda scary looking. But! I've written a few little ficlets of the guys reacting to finding out MC's secret, in one way or another. Hope you like it!
Sebastian, Ominis, Leander, Garreth, Amit and Everett react to finding out that MC is a mermaid
Sebastian & Ominis The pair is in the Slytherin common room, lounging on one of the sofas, reading and getting classwork done, when they hear a commotion coming from near one of the large windows that look out into the black lake. Ominis wasn’t concerned, it was a regular occurrence for the younger Slytherins to spend time at the large windows searching for mermaids – he made sure of that himself – telling them all within their first days that if they were patient at the windows, it would pay off for them. He was joking, of course, never in his 7 years at Hogwarts had his wand ever detected such entity outside the common room windows. But it was hilarious to him to hear them trying anyway.
But this was different. Sebastian laid his book down on the coffee table and sat forward, watching the kids and listening to their frantic and overlapping exclamations. He watched the window and couldn’t believe his own eyes. Surely he was dreaming. He rubbed his eyes in his hands, then shook Ominis’s shoulder when he was sure his eyes weren’t deceiving him. There was a mermaid at the window.
Ominis couldn’t believe what Sebastian was saying, as the brunet drug him over to the window hastily by his sleeve. Sebastian stared out the window in shock, as the mermaid swam right up to him, their hands pressing against the glass up to each others. This was no ordinary mermaid, did it just wink at him? Merlin, where was MC? They had to see this!
Ominis raised his wand to the window, touching it to the glass, wanting to get a better mental image of what was happening. Sebastian narrated that the mermaid pressed its finger to the glass, meeting with the glowing tip of Ominis’s wand through the pane.
“This isn’t just any mermaid… This is MC…” Ominis whispered to Sebastian, not wanting their other housemates to overhear. He barely believed his own words as they left his mouth, but his wand would never mislead him like this.
Sebastian couldn’t hold back his delight as he laughed loudly. “Ha! I knew they were special but this is something else.” He was proud to be friends with such an interesting being.
Ominis was beside himself with shock, wonder, and amazement. They wondered why MC had never told them before, they must have had their reasoning. He was honored they revealed this secret to him at all, even as indirectly as they did so.
Leander & Garreth Leander had agreed to accompany Garreth on an endeavor to restock his potions ingredients. Due to his frequent experimentation in the cauldron, he was either low or completely our of several things. List in hand and a satchel full of empty jars over his shoulder, Garreth led his friend down a path that would take them alongside the black lake where they’d need to gather several things.
The sun was beating down on their backs, it was a welcome comfort to kick off their shoes and socks and roll up their trousers to wade through the cool, shallow water at the shore of the lake, even if it meant gathering leeches and stuffing them into jars. Maybe it was the heat playing with their minds, but each of them had sworn they felt like they were being watched as they hunted carefully for Garreth’s ingredients.
After what must have been two hours of finding leeches, various aquatic plants and weeds, bugs and anything else that Garreth deemed as “possibly useful,” the two of them ditched their bags of jars on the shore and took to kicking about in the lake and splashing each other in an effort to cool off.
The feeling of being watched became overwhelming suddenly, causing both of them to shift their eyes over the dark glassy surface of the water. Garreth spotted the tip of a shining, finned tail darting down under the water, but missed what it was attached to. The two of them stood frozen and waiting to catch another glimpse of whatever that was.
It was almost like whatever that thing was waited until their backs were turned to appear again, this time surfacing noticeably and splashing the boys with a delicate webbed hand. They turned in an instant and without even processing what they were seeing, started splashing back. How lucky were they, getting to interact with a mermaid like this? It was practically unheard of. They couldn’t wait to meet up with MC and tell them.
That evening in the common room, the boys sought out MC, ecstatic to tell them what they had seen. They started talking over each other in excitement, to which MC put a finger to each of their lips, shushing them. MC smirked at them before admitting, “I know, I was there” with a sly little wink.
Both Leander and Garreth went as red as their hair, in utter shock and disbelief. They had the ability to wield ancient magic AND they were a mermaid? How could one person be so bloody brilliant? They were honored to be let in on MC’s little secret, and they would make future plans to hang out in the lake together.
Amit & Everett The unlikely friends were taking a night time fly around the castle and surrounding grounds. Everett was pretty limited to flying at night, needing to be a bit sneaky with borrowing the school brooms, as he was not exactly permitted to use them outside of class time. The time of day worked great for Amit, always happy for any reason to get out at night and see the stars, and if he was being honest with himself, he could use the practice on a broom. Everett was willing to give him some pointers.
They flew low to the ground, Amit being a little bit nervous to get too high, and Amit followed behind Everett as he flew over the lake. Everett was enjoying himself, the wind through his hair was something he’d never tire of.
Amit flew more slowly, seeking the sights rather than the thrill of speed. He was taking in the reflection of the stars on the surface of the lake when something caught his eye, the glimmer of scales reflecting the moonlight just under the surface of the water. He called out for Everett, and doubled back around to get a better look, only to see the creature was following him.
Everett hovered his broom beside Amit’s and the two peered down into the water together, the devious face of a mermaid just below the surface was looking up, shifting its gaze between the two of you. The mermaid surfaced and two long, pale green arms reached towards the boys dangling legs, making them speed off on their brooms, screaming into the night as they made their way back to the castle. The mermaid laughed, diving back under the water.
Back in the safety of the Ravenclaw common room, the boys got ready for bed and immediately tucked in, each having nightmares of the close call they had with the creature in the lake.
The following morning in the great hall MC joined them, sitting between the pair, noting their sleep filled eyes, and asking what had kept them up. Amit explained the run in from the night before, with Everett nodding along, adding in exaggerated commentary where ever he could.
MC laughed, and apologized for scaring them, fessing up to her little secret. Both boys started berating her. “I could have fallen in and drowned!” “What if I lost the school broom in the water!” She couldn’t help but chuckle and wrap an arm around both their shoulders. Both had many questions about her ability to transform, and she answered them thoroughly, both boys ending up being even more intimidated of her in the end.

RANDOM JOHNNY LORE DUMP
GO
hmmmmmmmmm ohhh!!!! yesss i have a funny lore thing, so i had biologie leistungskurs, and bc we were a really small course (10) we got through the learning material quite fast. this meant we were able to make a field trip. but we didn't go to the museum or sth like that no no. the teacher ordered a small bus where us 11 people fit into. then we drove to some small hut in the forest and yes this sounds really fucking scary and tbf if they'd wanted to, we'd be dead and no one would have found us, we were so far from any civilization istg, but well, nothing scary happened. quite the opposite.
so. this hut was a research station for the lakes that are somehow special, it'd take a while to get into that and i don't quite remember, but basically there were three professors that researched there and held regular classes in a small lecture room. there were quite a few dead stuffed animals (idk how you call these in english) and like. everything was really fucking old, it literally looked like a classroom from old movies yk.
but yeah, we stayed there 3 days, 2 nights. one of these nights we spent in this very classroom instead of sleeping, someone explaining sex and stuff to someone very christian (this was very fucking funny, i shared a room with her and she later told me that she "knew everything already and that she just didn't want to be seen as someone who would know" like okay wtv idc, she is kind of a bitch but yk she never did me wrong or sth), me with a book and judging, my friend with his switch. we also had a drawing competition and everyone was hella biased bc they thought i was good at drawing "bc i'm a nerd" or sth and therefore thought mine was the best?? this was also funny. there was also a really thick fog outside also during the day and when we drove out onto the lake in two small boats we told each other ghost stories or tried to scare each other while we were analysing the water and the ground samples. idk how they saw me beforehand but after that i feel like they respected me at least a tiny bit more

tumblr tonight i had a dream where a lot of things were undergroud and you had to get to them via this underground tunnel system. However, some of the tunnels had danger at the end of them. Ex: If you weren't careful you could run into a deer (that I still don't know what the deer does but idk he looked menacing) or some unidentified monster or an angry magical pig/monster mix or just straight up some magical mysteryious person who could just up and take you to the afterlife if you got too close to her. literally just pick you up and carry you to the afterlife. Come to think of it it was kinda similar to the backrooms but the walls were a gray metal and there were too many sinks everywhere.
Anyway, while in the tunnels I found a creature that tried to kill me so i killed it and it's remains turned into chocolate oreo pieces. But then I felt bad for it because I didn't know if it was gonna have a good afterlife if I killed it in the tunnels (the afterlife lady didn't move from her spot) so I went over to the afterlife lady oreo remains in hand and begged her to take the creature to a good afterlife. But then she said something about needing the golden oreo flavor. So then I went up and got her some golden oreos and we held a truce: she gave me permission and the ability to wander between life and afterlife back and forth as a pleased, and i promised i wouldn't mess with her.
Above the surface, there was some kind of school pool party because it was the last day of school in there. However it all came to a stop when one staff member announced that there was an orca whale in the water and everyone had to get out. (they were swimming in natural water, some small lake or smth)
Later in the dream I was walking around the city and found a hole in the sidewalk, I went down it and found an underground system of tunnels in which everything (and I mean everything) was covered in pink arcade-style carpet. Afterlife lady was there so I asked her where we were and she explained that the hole I went thru somehow transferred to the afterlife. yk, thursday. But after I had went thru the hole, people who weren't meant to just casually be in the afterlife started going thru the hole too. Which is a problem because of smth smth balance smth smth idk I couldn't hear afterlife lady that well because one of them was trying to kill me and I was more focused on not dying. Then an entire gang of people came in and tried to kill me and afterlife lady (moreso me than afterlife lady, because apparently she's immortal and I was not) and while we were fighting them off I woke up.
what the heck was that how did my brain do that

federation online & woodwords headcanons yeah
⚠️ cannibalism , drug usage ig
monica cheerleader:
she’s obsessed with this whole “making herself immortal” thing. everything she’s been doing to make herself immortal has been ABSOLUTELY ABSURD but somehow it just works (she’s been in her mid-40s for god knows how long now)
doctors HATE her. not because of the immorality, she just has a weird obsession with testing whatever comes to mind on random strangers on the street
she took part of zombi’s brain (the one that presumably made him immortal) and stitched it on to her own. that’s the same reason why she has the “strange” urge to eat human flesh sometimes
another thing she did to keep her body in good shape for so long is by taking steroids. this is also why she has so much body hair
she used to live in a small town in britian, she just had to move because she dumped toxic waste from one of her experiments into “just some lake” and accidentally poisoned the water supply & the police started hunting her down. not like they aren’t still after her for several reasons but
lena uhhhidkyourlastname:
went to “some girl’s house” to hang out after becoming friends with her one day. turns out said house was where FEDON was currently & said girl was monica cheerleader & she was just abducted into FEDON. not like lena GAVE a shit really she was already studying science & stuff
created mieshal & michael because “creating a new species is just what friends do on an average sunday”
losky was also pulled into FEDON after dating lena. he doesn’t really do anything he just considers himself as part of it so monica cheerleader doesn’t do anything to him
basic woodwords information:
the reason why they’re so obsessed with pepsi & cookies & such is because they were made to basically be “the ideal being.” all negative effects of the things they consume are removed by the immune system & all positive effects are multiplied by like. 500. sugar’s basically crack+ to them.
only mieshal was intended to have a magic wand & such (for yk. testing reasons.) michael only got some of that stuff because he was jealous (they just gave him 2 random prototypes (1 of each) and called it a day)
mieshal:
her brain was kind of flawed (due to being the first creation of her kind) and she came out acting kind of off. neither of her creators gave af though & they just released her without fixing it. yeah one of the first things she did was eat a vending machine
the reason why her eyes are so big constantly is because she’s basically constantly tweaking (like. a cat kind of tweaking)
michael:
the prototype of top hat he was given had “too much magic,” thus being scrapped before & a new one being made. all of the prototypes basically looked identical so “whatever happened happened.” yeah this lead to him becoming self aware & basically unstoppable in any circumstance
he got into monica cheerleader’s stash of human flesh (which she keeps for snacking purposes of course) once. this is why he cannibalizes his kills so often
other FEDON-related information:
the reason why drinkdrink’s eyes glow is because she was sent a device that allows people to see & interact with ghosts. yeah that was originally meant for mieshal & FEDON accidentally sent it to the wrong address

Could you do a fluff Regulus x fem!reader where it’s snowing and they jump into the black lake with their cloths/uniform on and yk ✨main character vibes✨ and then afterwards they both have a cold
Sorry this took so long! thank you so much for this request, I think I made regulus a bit more softer than usual.  🌻
Meant To Be [ Regulus Black ]
word count: 2148
[ warning: fem reader, a little bit of soft Regulus, description of pain caused by temperature, clothes sharing, kissing, hand holding, nicknames such as “love” “princess”, description of sick/colds, medicine taking ]
Hogwarts wasn't as fun with only a small percent of the students left. Most Students were home with their family's, making memories and building snowmen.
You, however, had stayed for the Christmas break. All your roommates had gone home, even some teachers. It felt so quiet walking down the hallways, no gossip or news being shared. Snow had fallen from the sky, coating the Hogwarts grounds with sparkling white.
Luckily, your boyfriend Regulus had convinced his mother to let him stay for the break. You almost squealed at the news. Finally, you could get your boyfriend all to yourself, he was always covered in girls.
You weren't the only one who hated the encounters, Regulus was furious every time a girl would come up to him and completely push you aside.
So here you were, Hands laced together as you run down the empty hallway. You giggled as you heard Regulus ask for you both to slow down, he was curious about where you were taking him.
You flipped back, slowing your speed as you walked backwards. You smiled bright, eyes sparkling like the snow as you tighten the grip on his hand.
"I heard from a 7th year that if a couple jumps in the black lake together, they will stay together forever!" You explained, pushing him further along as you made it to the outside. You looked up at the warm sun, feet crunching against the snow as you basked in the glow.
"I'm sorry what? That's completely insane, you do realize that right?" Regulus said, eyes slightly wider as he thought about jumping in a cold lake.
"Oh Regulus, if we believe it to be true then it is!" You told him, smiling up at him as you pulled him closer to you. The wind pricked at your exposed skin, your hair getting tossed in every direction.
"Yeah, if you believe in fairies. But I'm not jumping in a frozen lake for you to proclaim some bogus myth" Regulus said while planting his feet, drawing you closer to him as he cupped your jaw.
"I'm not letting you jump in a frozen lake, I already know I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with you," Regulus told you, leaning down to press his lips to yours. You smiled with closed eyes, pushing into his kiss as you held onto his forearm.
"I know our love is forever, but we might as well make it official" you whispered, slipping from his hands as you dashed towards the doc.
You heard Regulus call out for you, immediately running after you as you reached the wooden steps. You almost slipped on the ice, sliding down the doc as your arms sprawled out around you.
"Hey! Be careful!" Regulus yelled, now on the doc as well as he couldn't help but laugh at your attempt to stay upright.
"I love you," you told him, letting your feet slip off the edge of the icy wood as you fell back into the cold lake.
Water engulfed your body, the temperature sending stabs to your body as you swam up to the surface.
You broke free just as soon as another splash ruffled the water, Regulus had jumped in after you. You giggled, watching as his head popped up over the waves, his hair flat against his face.
"You jumped in with me!" You yelled, he didn't reply instead he went under the water. His arms wrapping around your waist as he lifted you into his arms.
His face came next to yours, his face pales from the cold as he held onto you tighter.
"You little menace," Regulus said while letting out a laugh. You hardly ever got to hear Regulus's laugh, he was always so quiet and shy. It was nice to finally get loose with him, it felt like you truly were going to live forever with him.
His lips met yours, kissing you with his cold thin lips. You smiled, letting your eyes shut as you leaned closer to the kiss. He pulled away quickly, leading you towards the doc.
"Okay, we must get out now. I don't want you catching a cold" Regulus tried to sound persistent and firm, but when he saw you laugh he couldn't help but take a moment to laugh with you. This moment with like a dream, it all happened so fast that you couldn't even process the cold nipping at your wet clothes.
"Regulus it's freezing!" You yelled out when your adrenaline ran out, your arms wrapped around yourself as you try and find warmth.
"I told you! Your so demanding," Regulus muttered, looking around for your shoes before he saw them wash away down the lake.
"Oh you love it," you teased, kissing his cheek with your shivering lips as you look for your shoes as well. When you saw them halfway past the water, you shivered on impact.
"Come on, I'll get you new shoes," Regulus said, leading you to the castle as you crept along with the snow. Your feet froze, pale and raw as you make it to stone.
Regulus looked over you, sighing before shaking out his hair and picking you up quickly. You wrapped your arms around him instantly, afraid you'd fall.
"Regulus, this is unnecessary," you told him, but you secretly loved it. Regulus rarely ever went out of his way to do affectionate things in public, and though there were no people around to witness, it still made you feel loved.
"No, it's my responsibility as your boyfriend," he proclaimed, striding down the hall until he made his way to the entrance of the Slytherin common room.
"Future Husband," you corrected, your head leaning against his chest as you felt the bumps every time he took a step.
Regulus grinned to himself, opening the door with his foot as he plopped you on the nearest chair.
"What jumper do you want to wear?" He asked, peeling off his wettened tie and shirt as he slipped on a clean white long-sleeve. He went off to the bathroom quickly to grab you a towel.
"The green one," you say, ringing your hair out with the towel as you shiver. Regulus glanced over at you and gave you a look, his lips in a thin line.
"Well, that's real specific isn't it," Regulus said, holding up 3 different jumpers, all in green. You laughed, pointing to the one in his left hand.
He tossed you his jumper, turning around so you could undress without staring eyes. Later on, he tossed you his sweat pants, which were way too big for you.
Both of you had gotten dressed in warm clothes, Regulus had insisted you wear 2 pairs of socks to make sure your feet won't freeze. He looked at you, his clothes were abnormally large on you, he absolutely loved it.
Regulus led you to his bed, helping you under the covers as his hands wrapped around your waist. He pulled you closer, kissing your forehead. You smiled at the feeling, relaxing back into his chest. You felt warmth wash over you, you interlocked your fingers with his before falling fast asleep in comfort.
The morning after you woke up to the sun shining through his window, Regulus pressed against your side. His head buried into your neck as he pulled you ever so closer.
"Morning," you mumbled out, your eyes opening slightly. His room was dark, it usually smelt like burning wood and men's cologne. Your nose was clogged, making you twitch it as realized how sore your body felt.
"Morning, princess," he muttered tiredly, his voice was raw. You heard him clear his throat, realizing that you both had been sick from the lake jump.
"We're sick," you declared, rolling over to face Regulus. His nose was slightly red, his eyes looked tired. You brought your hand up to his cheek, rubbing your thumb over his smooth features.
"I don't get sick," Regulus said while his hand rubbed the small of your back in a comfortable manner. You giggled, your head resting on his shoulder.
"Why are you all stuffy then?" You asked, closing your eyes as you adjusted to the feeling of being awake. You had to force yourself to open your eyes, blinking back sleepiness.
"I'm not, your hallucinating because you're sick," his words were almost convincing, but you heard him hold back a sneeze. You pulled out of his grasp, sliding to the edge of the bed.
"Where are you going?" He asked, sitting up as he rubbed his eye with the palm of his hand.
"Getting supplies to heal you," you explain, going into his bathroom. Regulus flopped back down on his bed, closing his eyes with a flustered expression. He felt silly having someone care for him.
You grabbed a cloth, running it in warm water as you squeezed the excess out. You did the same to another cloth, dipping it in cold water. You left the bathroom after a few moments, going back to Regulus.
You climbed atop of his bed, your fingers coming to comb through his hair. He grew it out over the school year, much like his brother. His hair was jet black, waves spinning out everywhere.
"Hi," you whispered, placing the warm cloth against his pale skin. You pressed it firmly against his forehead then moved to press it against his cheek. The cloth left red imprints, you smiled as you dabbed his face.
"This is silly," Regulus commented as you switched to the cold cloth, pressing it against his warm skin. You let the cloth rest against his forehead, smiling down at him.
"Taking care of you isn't silly," you replied blankly, moving the cloth to his cheeks. You walked to the bathroom again, grabbing some cold medicine.
Regulus groaned as he saw you leave the bathroom with the medicine in your hand, you rolled your eyes. Pouring the liquid into the small measuring cup, you pass him the cup. He eyed it, giving you a long frown.
"Drink," you told him, walking over to the jug of water that sat by the window. Ice cubes swam in it, never melting. You poured him a generous glass as he drank the medicine.
He made a small face, making you giggle. Passing him the water, he held you out the medicine cup.
"You're sick too," Regulus said, placing the glass down on his nightstand. You made a small face at the thought, pouring yourself some medicine. You downed it quickly, gagging at the bitter taste.
You reached for his glass, taking a sip as you washed down the remaining taste. You took the cold cloth from his face, pressing it against your own. You flopped down beside him, exhaling in relief from the cold compress.
"My mother never did this for me," Regulus whispered in a small voice, you opened your eyes, casting your vision to where he laid.
"Well now you have me, I'll always take care of you Reggie," you told him, leaning over to kiss his cheek. You placed the cold compress back against his forehead.
"I'm so lucky to have you," Regulus looked like he was about to cry, his voice was strained and his eyes were red. You stroked his cheek, a gentle smile forming.
"You deserve me Regulus, it's not luck. I'm meant to be with you," you avowed, leaning down to capture his lips against yours. Every time you kiss him, it feels like the first time again.
Slowly pulling away, your eyes squinted slightly as you stare into his dark ones. His hand found yours, overlapping his fingers over yours.
"You're my soulmate, every life I'm given I promise I'll find you," Regulus promised and he meant it. He rose on his elbows, tossing the cloth to his bedside table. His empty hand coming to hold your face. He pulled you into a heart-stopping kiss, every ounce of love he offered you poured into this kiss.
"Not if I find you first," you exhaled, resting your forehead against his. Regulus stared lovingly into your eyes, a small smile embedded on his face.
"Come on, I wanna sleep for a little longer," he said, relaxing back onto the bed. He brought you down with him, holding you close. His chin propped up against yours, you lean into his shoulder. He smelt like home, your hands still encased with his.
"You promise you'll find me in our next life," you asked, sleep slowly starting to take over your body. You stayed awake long enough to hear his answer.
"Always," Regulus claimed, hearing your breath even as you slept. He smiled to himself, kissing your forehead. He let his eyes close, contempt with having you in his arms. Regulus fell asleep shortly after you did, finally happy about having someone that he cared so deeply for.
