Disclaimer: JKRowling owns Regulus, Sirius and Kreacher...And she's a goddess.
Author's notes: I know...I know...I totally should be writing my two other stories...but this came to me like, like, boom. And I had to write it. Besides it only took a minute or two to write. (JK exagerates: she took at least 10 mins). Anywho, this all stemmed from the fact there is NO Regulus fanart on Why is this? So I drew a pic of him, and Sirius...hopefully I'll get it up on fictionalley. If not, I'll find a place to post it and put a link up here. xD Enjoy.
"Big brother…big brother…" a soft voice came at Sirius' door. He was supposed to be punished. Regulus wasn't allowed to speak to him, which Sirius found more of a punishment for the younger boy than himself. The voice became a shrill whine, cut off by a whimper, and then a sob. Faint scratchings could be heard at the door, undoubtedly still Regulus.
Sirius glared at the door a moment. A sigh pulled him off his bed and he crossed the room. Always. It was always like this. "What do you want, Reggie?" Sirius asked angrily as he opened the door.
A tear-stained face stared up at him from the floor. The little ball that was Regulus whimpered again. "I'm scared…" he whispered into his knees.
"Of what, Reg?" Sirius stood akimbo, glaring down at his younger sibling.
"He took them, Sirius…" Regulus' haunted voice said, eyes watching his elder brother.
Sirius knelt down, pulling the trembling boy to his feet. "Who took what, Regulus?" This was pointless…Why couldn't he have a normal brother? One who wasn't afraid of everything?
"Kreacher took my underpants…and he's using them as a rag…" Regulus murmured, turning red under the tears.
The older boy stared at his brother. He was kidding, right? Sirius' lip twitched. There was no way he…Sirius lost it. He cackled and guffawed and certainly made his brother horribly uncomfortable. It took a few minutes, but the elder brother calmed down, panting as if he'd just come from a good run, with the occasional giggle.
Regulus pouted, tears trembling in his eyes.
"O-okay, Reg…" Sirius tittered, taking his brother's hand and leading him out of the room. "Let's go get your underwear…"
