"Run away with me, then." Regulus said. Rebastan raised an eyebrow.

"What? Are you mad? Away from the Dark Lord?" He asked, his voice tart.

"Yes. Run away with me... be with me forever." Regulus said urgently... made a little too urgently...

"Why can't we just be together forever here? In service?" Rebastan asked, looking concerned, "Is there something wrong, Regulus?"

"I'm leaving." He said bluntly, "Fore I have done something our Lord will never forgive." Rebastan blanched at Regulus' words.

"What have you done?" Rebastan said, eyes wide. Regulus was sweating, his long black hair falling into his dark eyes.

"Forgive me, Rebastan." He said, then leaned forward, and kissed his lover on the lips. As the kiss broke, the Dark Mark burned. Regulus smiled sadly, Rebastan sobbed softly.

"What have you done...?" Rebastan asked again.

"Goodbye, dear lover." Regulus said, and the men Apparated to the Dark Lord's side.
