"Sirius?" his voice cracked and he reached out for his older brother. He groaned and swatted at his hand, covering his face with a pillow. Regulus bit his lip and smiled. "Sirius, I need to tell you something. Its important."
"What, Regulus." he groaned and turned to face him. Regulus sat on the edge of his bed and looked at his hands.
"I...I think I'm gay..." Sirius stared blankly at him for a second and turned back around, muttering a 'congratulations' and falling back asleep.
"That's it? I need to talk to you about this!" he shook Sirius and he fell out of bed, swearing loudly. He glared up at Regulus and spat at him.
"What do you want me to do? I'm not gay! I don't know what you're expecting from me!" he stood back up and sat on his bed, leaving Regulus disappointed. He muttered quietly before crawling into bed.
"You're my big brother, I was hoping for advice..." Sirius looked at him and sighed.
"Come here, Reg. I'm sorry." he held out his arms for a hug and Regulus slowly gave into him, sitting beside him and hugging him. "I don't know how to relate to your...situation, if that's what you want to call it." Regulus nodded and Sirius bit his lip, swallowing a lump in his throat. "How do you know you're like, gay?" Regulus smiled and looked at his hands in his lap.
"There's this guy...and he's really sweet, smart, and he's shy...and I think I'm in love with him already..." Sirius raised an eyebrow and nudged him, like he would with James or Remus, trying to get information out of them. In that instant, he thought about Remus, and it made him smile wider. Regulus checked his watch and stood up.
"Do you really think three in the morning is the appropriate time to be discussing this?" Sirius smirked and grabbed his waist, throwing him on the bed.
"REGULUS HAS A CRUSH!" he laughed and Regulus tackled him to the ground. "What's his name, Reg?" He rolled his eyes and bit his lip.
"You're gonna think I'm crazy if I tell you."
"I already think you're completely mad. Just tell me." Regulus shifted his position and cleared his throat.
"It's Severus." Sirius almost choked on his own spit, trying not to laugh.
"Severus, like...Severus Snape?" he laughed, not able to hold it in any longer. He never thought his brother would stoop that low! He continued to laugh, holding his sides.
"Thanks, Sirius. Thanks a lot." He crawled back into bed and tried to suppress his tears, while Sirius wiped his eyes and his laughs faded to chuckles.
"You've got to be kidding me, Regulus." after no reply, he groaned and got into bed. "This is why you don't have any friends. You're too damn sensitive."
"Severus is my friend..." he whispered into the darkness of their room and fell asleep slowly to thoughts of when they would meet next.
