Regulus smiled gently at Rabastan. "I like watching ducks, feeding the ducks. I find ducks very relaxing," he admitted, enjoying the sight of the ducks swarming to get pieces of bread.
"Was that your big secret?" he asked disbelievingly. There had to be more to it than that!
Regulus nodded. "I wear a mask to hide my true self. It's protection, and there's one thing I'm tired of hiding."
Rabastan patiently waited. He knew from experience that as long as he stayed quiet, Regulus would tell him.
Instead of verbalizing his answer, Regulus leaned over and kissed him.
Rabastan returned it without thought. There was no reason for him to admit out loud that he wanted the kiss. He was sure he proved it.
