Stupid. Stupid, stupid, STUPID!
That's all his mind is saying at the moment. There's a part of him that completely agrees.
He's getting ready to do the unthinkable. He's getting ready to betray the only person he's ever loved – to betray the only chance he'll get to spend the rest of his life by his side.
And the reason he's doing this is for some flimsy chance that he'll be right. That the others will accept him if he brings him that, and more, that they'll let him bring the man lying on his sheets with him.
It's an idiot plan. More likely than not, he'll die in the attempt, die without that beautiful man ever knowing what he did and why.
More likely than not, he'll abandon Barty the way he swore he would never do.
In the end though, he really has no choice. This place gives him Barty, and it's more than he ever expected. But it also takes his soul from him, and he knows he needs to have if he can ever call himself worthy of Barty.
He has to do this.
"I'm sorry," he whispers, leaning over to kiss the sleeping man.
He doesn't know if he'll keep it, but Regulus Black makes his lover a silent promise to be back.
Right now, he has a house-elf to talk to.
I hope you guys liked it! As always, please don't forget to drop a review n your way out :)
