2 years.
It took regulus 2 years to figure out how badly he messed up.
It took regulus 2 years to tell the one boy, who finally saw who he really was, that he loved him
And it took 2 years for regulus to realised he messed up.
Regulus stood over the bowl, horcrux in hand.
In the background he could hear Kreacher telling him he had to leave.
In the background the sounds of inferni were moving towards him.
In the back off his mind was his sense of urgency, in the front was James.
It was always James, James potter. The love of his life, off dating Lily Evan’s the girl he liked forever.
They were always going to end up together, they were destined for eachother.
Regulus knew that when he started dating James but he wanted the potter all to himself and he destroyed it
James wanted regulus all to himself but from the very start regulus had stated that his family was always his priority.
The black family? Why would that be his priority, it wasn’t truly. He was just scared.
So now, 2 years later regulus is standing in the cave, handing the horcrux to Kreacher and screaming at him to leave
Now, 2 years later, regulus is screaming for James, trying to claw his body away from the hands of the inferni.
And now 2 years later, he feels a familiar warmth grab onto his hand and pull.
2 years later he’s in the arms of James again, but at what cost?
