Look into my eyes, they will shine for you my love, and I’ll own you again.
See the stars shining, they got nothing on me now, Because I’ll own you.
Still, you will light up, my world, my being, tonight, we’ll light up the sky.
Regulus had been watching Remus forever, it seemed. Certainly since the first day he'd arrived at Hogwarts. After he begged the hat to put him in Slytherin, he'd chosen a spot where he could see his older brother and glare. And there, beside Sirius, was a pale, quiet boy who nevertheless laughed along with the others when James sent a pointed look at the hook-nosed boy on the Slytherin table.
Regulus had promised to watch Sirius for his mother, but it hadn't taken too long before he was watching Remus instead. It took a few years to realise why he watched, and by that time Remus had more unexplained scars on his face and still more pain in his eyes. But he'd grown taller and put on muscle and had a gentle smile that was like nothing Regulus had ever known before.
So, he watched. Despite Severus next to him, scowling in their direction every five minutes. Despite every mocking smirk his disowned brother sent his way, Regulus continued to watch.
And one day, Remus looked back. And one night, Remus found him in a dark alcove and pulled him close and kissed him. And one full moon, Regulus followed his brother's brainless gang of Marauders and discovered that Remus was so much more than he'd known.
All that more was worse – a diseased and mindless monster howling to the moon, and it left Regulus feeling sick and angry. The next morning Remus lay in a hospital bed and the constant new scars were suddenly, horrifically, explained. Regulus never said good bye.
When Regulus was finally of age he knelt at his Master's feet, just as his mother ordered.
"Look into my eyes," the Dark Lord commanded.
It was his hatred towards that beast that Regulus allowed the Dark Lord to see.
When Regulus finally grew up, it was his love towards the man that he held close as death took him.
WOW. Oh my...I LOVE how you've portrayed Regulus. I love how you made him leave after seeing Remus in his wolf form (which is bad for me to say right?)! But it's like, not everyone would stick around with Remus because of that and I like how you've made Regulus one of those people. But I love how you made his love for Remus significant when he died...I cannot express so much love for this <3.
