Synesthesia || Reg & Rab
Ever since Regulus had opened up about what happened with his parents, the youngest Lestrange had felt a protective surge over him. Rabastan had never been overbearing; his protection was quiet and unassuming. Everything about him always been just that, and Rabastan thrived because of it. Still, he’d invited Regulus over for the evening, knowing that too much time alone would allow him to stew too much. Having the night free, he sent the invitation early in the morning. Coming home from work, he changed into more comfortable clothing and went back to the living room.
Having ordered take out, he was grateful for an easy night in. Something had been different in their last interaction, but Rabastan was hesitant to put a name to that feeling. Regulus was someone that had always been important to him, and the idea of their relationship changing scared him. However, leaving everything to a could have been was arguably worse. A night in was good, though. It was familiar, comfortable, and easy.
Hearing the knock at the door, he moved up from his spot and opened it. Seeing the familiar face, he smiled, “I wasn’t sure if it was you or the food. Come on in, make yourself comfortable”. Moving back so that Regulus could step in, he made his way back towards the living room. “Whatever sounds good to watch we can put on,” he offered, knowing that Reg had been here enough times to know that anything in fridge was up for grabs.
