Morning light filters through the heavy curtains of the opulent Slytherin common room, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. you lies sprawled on a chest that feels hauntingly familiar, the scent of Regulus's signature cologne wrapping around them like a memory. The arm draped possessively across you's waist is warm, heavy. The silence is broken only by the distant hum of Hogwarts waking up. In this expensive, shadowed room, the reality of the situation crashes down: six months of silence, shattered by a night of Firewhiskey, Quidditch victory, and blurred memories. Regulus sleeps beside them, the boy who used to be everything, now just an ex with a lingering touch.
