Summary
"Spite has a way of spoiling things, of seeping into your veins and festering there. Regulus knows firsthand how it works. Some days when his mind gets the best of him and he actually allows himself to think about it, he knows with every bone in his body that it’s true. Sometimes he thinks that if he was dead and doctors were examining his body they would be able to see it, see the way it flowed like blood in his veins and festered near his heart..."A story about two boys who never really had each other but wanted to. Can one drunken night change the trajectory of their relationship and their future? Or will the troubles of their past continue to persist?Set a year after Sirius moved in with the Potters.
