—gifts for little brothers
pairing: regulus Black x sirius black (platonic)
summary: regulus had never once in his life received a christmas present until this morning
warnings: none
authors note: I wrote this ages ago lol
regulus was rather sad as he awoke on the morning of the 25th december. normally, every boy would be impatient and looking forward to this special day all december long. but christmas was nothing special in the black family.
at least not special regarding the wishes of a nine year old boy, such as regulus was one. he was dreading to stand up and get dressed. he hated these days. days on which special guests would visit the black house and join the festivities.
but to regulus' misfortune his mother, walburga black, held these events in a really high course. so she always made sure everything, especially her family, would be perfect when their guests arrived.
so just a few seconds after his awakening, a house elf knocked on the black wooden door to regulus' room.
„kreacher was told to make sure master regulus would be awake by now", the rather ugly-looking house elf spoke, as he lifted the curtains of regulus big window.
„thank you, kreacher. would you please tell my mother that im getting ready now?", the boy lifted his blanket and climbed out of his giant bed. When he was younger (about a year or two) he would use a small ladder to get in and out of it.
„of course, master regulus."
the elf turned around and made his way out of the room, just as regulus opened the door to his closet, to reveal the neat suit that was hanging on the back side of its door.
regulus sighed, again, knowing how formal and unrelaxed this day would go for him.
as regulus made his way out of the closet (no pun intended), formely dressed and ready, at that, he heard a soft knock at his door.
"yes?", asked regulus as he watched the door expectively. in marched his brother, formely known as sirius black.
"sirius!", regulus grinned as his brother closed the door quietly and made his way to the bed to sit down comfortably.
"hello regulus", sirius spoke. "how are you feeling this fine morning?"
"bored"
"no wonder", sirius adjusted his position. "mother is more stressed than last year, because a few special guests will come this year". sirius rolled his eyes so high, that regulus could only see the white in them.
"more special than last year?", regulus asked, worriedly, still remebering the unexpected visit of the prime minister from the year before and his mothers not so relaxed reaction to that. the brothers had to hide under a table the whole evening long, in fear to fall into the aroused hands of their mother.
"apparently" sirius sighed and rubbed his temple. "i can't wait to go to hogwarts and get out of all of this"
"you know that she will still make you come, right?", regulus asked
"of course, but atleast i don't have to put up with this the whole year. i will get a tiny bit of freedom and only come on the day of the festivity so i don't have to be present when this woman throws one of her tantrums."
"if only i could come with you"
"dont worry, little brother. its only one more year and than you can join me at hogwarts. but now, i have a little surprise for you"
regulus raised his eyebrows at sirius and sat down next to him on the large bed. "a surprise? what do you mean?"
"i mean this"
sirius reached into the pocket of his suit and took out a little box, messily wrapped in paper.
"what is this?", regulus asked
"its a present, reg. i read about it in a muggle book. this is what other kids get on christmas morning"
regulus brought the box up to his eyes to inspect it further.
in his nine years living, regulus arcturus black had never received a present. because of that he never got to know, what the term actually meant. he admired his brother for knowing all this, because he always knew things that regulus didn't. it was sirius big interest of knowledge, of freedom and the thought of knowing things his mother wouldn't let the teacher inflict on them.
regulus, on the other hand, wasn't like that. he never had enough bravery to do the things his mother didn't want him to. so adapted to everything he was allowed to do and tried to like it.
as regulus finally unwrapped the present a small amulette fell into his hands. as he opened it he could saw a picture of him and his brother on the right side and his full name and a rather weird looking painting at the left side.
"that is the star that you're named after, regulus", sirius spoke after he noticed the confusion on regulus' face.
regulus smiled. "thank you sirius. i like it very much". the nine year old let his arms fall to the sides of his brother and hugged him messily.
after this, the brothers stood up and made their way out of the door to finally face their mother and get in position for the arrival of their guests.
quietly, just for himself, regulus swore he would never forget, how his heart felt warm and his eyes started to fill with light tears, as sirius black gave him the first and only present he had ever received...
DAY 7: PLEASE COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
pairing: regulus black x fem!potter!reader
summary: when everything gets too bad, regulus has to place to stay. james isn’t happy about that though.
warnings: mention of a bad home life
note: this was so fun to write hehe!!
you had told him to come home to you if it would get too bad. he had said no many times, just like you had repeated your offer. you wanted him to know that he was welcome. and if you had to say it to him every day, you would. you knew regulus had too much pride to take your help. he loved you and he wanted to keep you out of his problems.
the relationship to you was different to everything he had ever had in his life before. he didn't want to ruin it.
you were calm and a total sunshine, you didn't belong in a world full of death and fear. you didn't belong in his world. he knew that. but he still couldn't keep away from you. so he tried to hide most of his home life from your sight.
which was harder than he had anticipated, considering his brother was living with you now. seemed like james had made him the same offer.
one evening on which you repeated the offer, he had looked at you concerned. "don't do that" he had said "that hero complex will get you killed someday" he had brushed through your hair "it's not wise to help people like sirius and i in a world where humans are killing for all the wrong reasons"
he didn't want to talk about anything else after that so you had just watched him drift to sleep, wondering which horrible things were plaguing his mind.
then came the christmas holidays and you had to split up. you tried everything to convinve him, but he wouldn't budge, never giving you another reason than what he had said to you that night.
it was christmas eve, when the doorbell rang and james went to get it. "black?" he asked confused, when he was met with a crumpled version of his best friends younger brother "what in the world are you doing here?"
regulus ignored the question "is y/n home?" he asked instead. you had walked out of your room when you heard the doorbell and when you heard his voice, you had immediately started walking down the stairs.
"reggie" you said concerned. before anyone could say another word, you gently pushed james out of the way and hugged your boyfriend. you knew that something had to be really wrong for him to show up here.
“they found the letters” regulus whispered “they made me choose, i didn’t know what do to”
“it’s alright” you said, trying to comfort him.
"what the fuck?" james asked. he was still standing beside you both while neither one even acknowledged his presence. he pulled you back by your shoulder. “what is going on?”
“regulus needs to stay” you simply said, without taking your eyes from the boy. you had never seen him cry before, but there were evident tear stains on his cheeks.
“what?” james asked, acting like he hadn’t understood you “why do you even know each other?”
“we’re dating” you turned your head to look at your brother “can we go in now?”
james was so stunned from the new information that he didn’t even protest when you gently walked regulus into the house. he quickly gathered back his consciousness though. he closed the door and was hot on your heels. “i’m not sure mum would allow this”
“are you kidding me right now?” you pointed to the couch for regulus to sit down. then you walked back to james, talking to him in a harsh whisper “you brought sirius here and he was allowed to stay, why wouldn’t regulus be?”
“because sirius isn’t my boyfriend?” james asked like it was obvious, why your situation was different to his.
“close to it, no?” you crossed your arms in frustration “look at him, james” and james did just that “he has nowhere else to go. i offered him a million times to stay with us and he always said no, there must be something very wrong for him to show up here. you know how they are, you know it better than me, i only know a few things and it’s bad enough”
james eyes softened as he looked between you and the boy. “you love him, don’t you?” he asked and you nodded your head.
“don’t make him leave” you pleaded “i’d do anything”
you knew james acted like that to protect you. he didn’t know regulus as well as you did. only the things sirius had told him and his younger brother was far from a hero in that.
“let me help him” you pleaded once again, because james didn’t answer you.
james knew that the blacks were horrible and he knew that you had the same right to help someone close to you as he did.
“okay” he nodded, hugging you. you sighed in relief. james watched as you darted across the room, kneeling in front of regulus. you spoke to him fast, and he smiled softly at you. james knew in that moment, that regulus felt the same for you as you did for him.
“was that my package?” a voice from the door asked. james looked towards the entry of the living room and saw sirius, munching on a rather gigantic sandwich.
“no” james said “but i think it somewhat belongs to you”
sirius looked at the couch and his eyes grew big. you had sat down beside regulus and were gently rubbing his back, while his head was laying on your shoulder.
“whoa” sirius just said and made both you and regulus look up “seems like someone else has inherited that potter hero complex. they’re always trying to save us, aren’t they, reggie?”
regulus smiled at you “i’m glad they are”
you smiled back and all was well. “at least we’re together for christmas now” you whispered to him. and it took a moment but then he smiled, a big toothy grin and he looked more like himself again.
