It was odd, how quickly Regulus could make Sirius go from peaceful to scared absolutely shitless. 

He’d just been minding his business out on the grounds with Remus, not at all flirting his brains out, when Regulus stormed up, wand drawn, eyes fire-and-ice, looking for all the world like he wanted to hex Sirius’s bollocks off for the second time that month.

Of course, Sirius’s natural instinct was to jump up with a yelp, ready to run. “What the fuck, Reg?” he asked, scrambling for his wand in his pocket.

“You told him!” Regulus accused, not bothering to explain.

“I–told him what?” Sirius asked, shooting Remus, who was doing nothing to protect him, a dirty glare. “I didn’t tell anyone anything!”

“You told James my favorite food is Boeuf Bourguignon!” Regulus spat, completely past all reason.

Sirius and Remus exchanged a glance. “Why the fuck would I tell him that? Why does it matter?” Yes, it was Regulus’s favorite dish, but the subject had never come up, not once.

“Because he made it for me! Spent all day in with the elves in the kitchen fucking cooking like–like–” the younger boy paused, fumbling for the word, while Sirius began to smirk.

“Like he likes you?” he grinned, knowing it was true. “Like a boyfriend?”

“Fuck off,” Regulus said loudly, spinning around and stomping away. 

Sirius beamed, amused. “I’ll tell him you liked it then!”

Remus just chuckled from the ground. “You’re not helping things, you know. You’re just pissing him off more.”

“Which James finds hot,” Sirius shrugged, sitting back down and grinning. “They’ll figure it out eventually. If we did, anyone can.”

“I’m surprised my tip about the Boeuf Bourguignon didn’t help more,” Remus added, laughing.

“Moony, you’re helping, too?” Sirius gaped.

“Someone has to,” the tallest boy laughed. “It’s sad to watch.”

They both fell into a fit of laughter.

"I wanted to be heard, not seen" Regulus

"I wanted to be seen, not heard" Sirius

Black brother interaction pt 3:

Regulus: I wish you stayed.

Sirius: I wish I stayed too. Now I wish I'd stayed. I wish I did a lot of things.

[noblehouseofgay]

Regulus: *wearing one of Sirius' old band tees*

Sirius: name 5 of their songs

Regulus:

Regulus: kill yourself

[siriuslylu]

Regulus grabs James’ shirt when he falls asleep, James finds it extremely endearing; one day he asks about it and Regulus tells him it’s a habit he developed since he was a kid because he’d fall asleep with Sirius and he’d wake up alone and scared at the house, so by doing that, he wouldn’t leave.

James, from that day on, never leaves his side when they sleep and waits until Regulus wakes up to kiss him and get up, and eventually, after years together, one day Reg stops doing it, and James cries in silence because his boyfriend finally believes and knows that he won’t wake up alone anymore.

It's all about the Hair

Regulus: *enters the Marauders dorm*

Sirius: Ah, look who it is! What happened? Did they stop funding the arts for you gothic kids?

Regulus: *head down*

Sirius: What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?

Regulus: *looks up at him*

Sirius: *knows smth is wrong* What happened?

Regulus: ...Malfoy said my hair makes me look like a girl.

Sirius:

Regulus: And that my eye color is stupid cuz it's not a real color.

Sirius:

Regulus: *sniffles* I'm not a girl.

Sirius: *takes a deep breath and takes Reg's hands* Are you okay? Did he hurt you?

Regulus: *shakes his head*

Sirius: *leads him to his bed and wraps him up* How 'bout I get us some cocoa and we'll talk shit about those other Slytherins?

Two days later:

James: Hey, did you hear?

Remus: What?

James: Malfoy is balding.

Peter: What?! How

James: Dunno. No one has the actual answer. Some say it was an accident and he burned his hair, or that it's a spell gone wrong, or he was being punished.

Remus: Yikes

Peter: Wow

James: I know...wish I could've thought of that sooner, it's genius!

Sirius, coming to the table: Hey, fellas. What's up?

Remus: Malfoy's balding

Sirius, who definitely had nothing to do with it: Ha! It serves him right.

Regulus, coming over: Sirius, I think we switched bags yesterday. This one has your chocolates

Sirius: Oh, thanks, Reggie

James: *looks over at Regulus* Wow...

Regulus: What?

James: I see your brothers day out to Hogsmeade was a success. Nice haircut.

Sirius: Yep. Now, you can see his pretty eyes better.

Peter: You look really nice, Regulus.

Remus: Yeah. You look a lot more you.

Regulus: *smiles* Thank you

Regulus was scared of their parents, Walburga and Orion Black, so he stayed in line. Stayed out of the way. Terrified. He didn't want to get punished, get beaten; but of course, life isn't fair, which is something both him and his brother learned at a young age. Regulus was hit and hurt and cursed and beaten just as much as his brother.

Sirius on the other hand, didn't need to fit in, he felt as though when he turned 11, and was the first Black to get sorted Gryffindor, he had already given up. He was hurt, hit, beaten. He ran away at 17, but he didn't know how much his brother, his Reggie, was hurting. He didn't know that when he left, he sealed his brothers fate. Regulus Arcturus Black the Third would become the youngest Death Eater. Because he needed a brother. And his brother wasn't there.

Sirius & regulus

walk - jegulus - @into-the-jeggyverse - word count: 249

He couldn’t sleep. Lounging in the sitting room of the Potters’, Sirius sighed, trying desperately to force sleep to come to him. But just as his eyelids finally started getting droopy, the soft click of the back door made him sit up with a start–everyone was supposed to be asleep in their beds.

Hand gripping his wand tightly, he watched, eyes narrowed, as two figures crept down the hall.

“James? Reg? What the fuck?” he whisper-yelled, half-shocked, half-suspicious as the two other boys walked into view.

James, who was in front, but who was holding Regulus’s hand and leading him down the hall, jumped clear out of his skin.

“Sirius! Oh, er—what’re you doing here?” he asked guiltily, dropping Regulus’s hand quickly and shifting from foot to foot.

“Me? I was just trying to fall asleep! What were you two doing outside?” he demanded, furrowing his eyebrows even more.

“Oh, relax, Sherlock,” Regulus snapped, rolling his eyes. “We were just going for a walk. Keep your hair on.”

But Sirius looked from Regulus to James, and instantly knew that was not the whole truth. “Then why’s James smiling and blushing like he just won the fucking lottery?” he asked, gesturing to his best friend.

Indeed, the taller boy was grinning from ear to hear, face flushed, and his lips looked distinctly kiss-bitten. 

“I…er…saw some cool stars,” James shrugged unconvincingly.

“Yeah? Was one of them named Regulus?” Sirius smirked.

The way James turned from red to maroon was answer enough.

Cousin - July 7 - word count: 229 - @wolfstarmicrofic

“Regulus,” Sirius announced, striding into the living room at Potter Manor. “You’re being demoted from brother to third cousin.”

“What?” Regulus looked flabbergasted. “Why?”

“Because,” Sirius paused, fishing a folded-up piece of parchment out from his pocket. “Guess what I found in a book I was reading.”

“Oh my-” Regulus lunged for the scrap in his brother’s hand, blushing furiously. “Give it back!”

“Fine.”

Regulus stopped, gaping at him. “That’s too easy. You must have a catch.”

“No catch,” Sirius shrugged. “Here,” he said, handing it over. “Now, care to tell me why it was about my best friend?”

Regulus was about the same shade as a tomato. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Sirius raised an eyebrow. “...right. No clue about the cheesy love poem that you most definitely signed, one of many I found that are all clearly about James.”

“Exactly.”

Sirius maybe would’ve believed him if Regulus weren’t as red as a cooked lobster.

And also maybe if his brother hadn’t launched himself at him again a few moments later, after realizing what he was insinuating, exactly.

(“Why third cousin specifically?” Remus asked later, when he no longer had to pretend he hadn’t heard that whole exchange.

“‘Cause he and I are also third cousins,” Sirius chuckled, pecking Remus on the cheek. “The Blacks are… strange, Moonshine.”

“I’ll have to take your word for it.”)

[noblehouseofgay]

After Sirius left, he gained color back in his face

While Regulus lost more, becoming paler than ever

Sirius could smile brighter than before, while Regulus' eyes seemed dim and sunken in

They lost the balance they once shared

The scales tipped, and Regulus tipped lower and lower until he sank below the surface and drowned

July 6th - Swear - 198 words - @black-brothers-microfic

Regulus and Sirius sat on the balcony of the 12 Grimmuald Place, looking up at the stars. They'd quietly snuck up there once they were sure their parents were asleep.

“Right there Reg, there's where you are.” Sirius said, pointing to Regulus' name sake.

Regulus looked to where he was pointing. “It's not nearly as bright as yours.” He said.

Sirius took his hand in his “Doesn't matter. You don't need to shine bright to be important.”

He said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world, Regulus couldn't help but believe him, not that it mattered. He trusted his brother with his life.

In lieu of a response, Regulus squeezed his hand.

They sat in silence for a bit before Regulus spoke up. “The stars are so far away from each other, I wonder if they get lonely.”

Sirius thought for a moment, thinking of a way to comfort his brother, then. “I like to think being able to see each other is enough for them.”

At Regulus' unconvinced look Sirius wrapped an arm around his brother. “Besides, we'll always be side by side.”

Regulus leaned into him, “You swear it?”

“I swear it.”
