Guilt

Sirius sat at the Gryffindor table for dinner, surrounded by chatting students and plates of food, but he was not focused on what was near him. He didn't notice that Peter accidentally trod on his foot and he didn't notice Peter apologising. He didn't notice when James sneakily stole the last roast potato from his plate and he didn't notice when James ate it with a mischievous smirk. He didn't notice as Remus observed his behaviour.

Because Sirius was too busy gazing at a certain Slytherin on the opposite side of the room. Every time he stared at Regulus, his heart raced and a million different feelings ran through him. Sirius loved Regulus. Sirius wanted Regulus. But as he stared longingly over at his brother, the one emotion that trumped all others was guilt.

Guilt that he loved Regulus in a way he shouldn't. Guilt that he thought about Regulus in a way he shouldn't. Guilt that he was going to kiss Regulus later even though he knew that Regulus wouldn't like it.

But Sirius enjoyed feeling guilty.
