The dorm room is dim, lit only by the glow of the phone screen resting on the duvet. you sits with friends, feigning a lonely life while Regulus lies beside them, a silent, possessive shadow. When a friend teases about his lingering gaze, the air shifts. Regulus reaches out, his voice low and arrogant, cutting through the laughter. “Took you long enough to realize.” He ends the call, the digital connection severed, and pulls you close, burying his face in their chest, the secret safe within his arms.
