Do you still love me?
Pov. Regulus
“Oh James, something has happened…” regulus whispered looking up to the sky.
He couldn’t look at James. He had to tell him now if he wanted or not. He had no choice.
But he just couldn’t bring himself to actually say it. How do you tell the only person that you really care about that you’re a fucking death eater? James would hate him. Definitely. But somewhere in the back of regulus’ mind he had hope that he wouldn’t. It was ridiculous, really but still. Regulus needed to tell james or it would ripp him apart.
“James. Do you love me?” Regulus spoke so quietly he wasn’t even sure if James had heard him.
But he had. And his answer came instantly.
“Of course I love you, Reggie! More than anything else in this world. And I will never stop to love you.“
Regulus closed his eyes. James would always tell him that he loved him.
“You would love me under any circumstances?”
“ Yeah I would, reg. Why are you asking that why don’t you just tell me what‘s wrong? I will help you.” James answered. He was slightly rubbing regulus’ back. It was comforting but it hurt to know that this was probably the last time that James would show him any affection.
“You can’t help me, James. It’s too late for help now.”
James lifted his chin so that regulus had to face him. Regulus looked into his eyes. They were so full of worry it made him feel sick.
James whipped away a single tear in regulus cheek. He mouthed a week “why?” It was breaking regulus’ heart.
He swallowed. James deserved to know. It was unfair to not tell him just because he was scared himself.
“My parents made me take the dark mark.”
James slightly opened his mouth without saying anything. He completely stopped moving. Regulus couldn’t make out a single one of his thoughts. Regulus always knew what James was thinking, it was hid in his eyes. But there was nothing.
“Do you still love me?” Regulus whispered with new tears filing his eyes.
“Yes, always.” James said after a long pause.
And then he pulled regulus into a hug.
Regulus was sure that he would never be so thankful for a simple hug in his whole life again.
