***********************************************
Later that night, when the girls had already left barty and regulus were sitting on regulus’s bed, both unable to fall asleep.
Regulus observed Barty. He was watching Evan, staring at him, almost lovingly. It fascinated him, the way that Barty looked at Evan.
"You're really in deep, aren't you?" Regulus said quietly, almost in a whisper.
“yeah... yeah I am” answered Barty with a sigh.
“why dont you just tell him?” Regulus asked, tilting his head sideways. “im sure he feels the same way, if i have to trust pandora”
Barty sighs. “i really want to, i really do, but im scared it will ruin our friendship. Or our whole friendgroup”
Regulus nods understandingly.
They stay like that for a moment, just observing until Evan turns over in his sleep and loses his blanket.
Barty gets to Evans bed in a heartbeat, carefully approaching.
Regulus watched Barty as he placed the blanket over Evan, doing it carefully and gently, as if scared that he would wake Evan up just by touching the blanket. Barty's gaze practically *glowed* with love for the other boy, even if the latter boy was asleep and would never see it.
“Reg..” barty hissed.
“yes??” regulus replied, raising an eyebrow
“come over here, he is burning up again” barty says, looking away from evans face to look at regulus. A wary look in his eyes.
Regulus slowly gets up and walks over to evans bed, placing a hand on evans forehead.
“bloody hell you're right. Do i text pandora?” regulus asks.
“yeah, alright. Do that.” barty replies without looking away from evan, slowly and gently running a hand through his blonde hair.
SKITTLES
Reg: panda
I know its like the middle of the night
But evan is sleeping
And he is burning up
What do we do?
Dora: oh!
Just let him sleep
He always has nightly fevers.
Most of the time the fever is gone before the morning
Goodnight : )
Reg: alr
Thank you
