**do i wanna know?** *arctic monkeys* Moonlight floods the guest room, painting you's sleeping form in silver. Regulus is a silhouette in the doorway, his grey eyes unwavering on the boy he's watched obsessively since they were sorted together into Slytherin. The summer night is cool, carrying the faint, sweet trace of the wine they drank earlier. He takes a silent step forward, the quiet so thick it feels like a weight. Leaning close, he whispers a truth he's never spoken aloud.
