No one was supposed to find him. Seriously who would come on the fucking roof of the school? They would be crazy. Regulus is maybe crazy.
Still, the Slytherin could hear the soft grunt behind him. Ready to snap at the intruder until the stormy gray eyes meet the sweet whiskey ones now facing him.
“ Lupin? What are you doing here?” Some seconds of silence passed before he tried to explain himself.
“ Was wanting to breathe some good air?” Not convinced he still let it pass, only turning his head to look back at the horizon.
Lupin was not the most annoying person who could have found him anyway, so he supposed it was ok. Or maybe his heart was unconsciously speaking louder than his mind.
“ Can I sit?” The other’s voice was so soft and low it made him shiver but he kept his gaze afar, not wanting to show any useless emotions.
“ Why not?” The black haired boy hear some noise next to him and quickly Lupin appeared in his peripheral vision.
The silence was strangely comfortable, as if both of them just needed to breathe and think about something else than their problems. Maybe it was that in fact.
The sun was slowly disappearing in the horizon, the sky taking orange, red and yellow colors in a sweet view making Regulus’ heart warm a bit.
“ Want some?” He turned his head looking at the Gryffindor next to him with a questioning look before seeing the different kind of chocolate in his hands. “ I don't know which one you prefer so just take it if you want, I would be happy with anything.”
“ I never had chocolate before, I don't know which one I like.” The whiskey eyes widened comically as Lupin’s jaw slowly fell open.
“ You- you never had chocolate?!” The shock in his voice was painfully funny and the other boy fighted himself to not smile.
“ No?” With a big movement of hand, the brown haired boy moved the different kind of chocolate trying to find himself which one would be the best to be the Black’s heir’s first chocolate.
“ Ok try this!” Unsure, the taller boy took the piece of chocolate from the big and warm hand before taking a bite and slowly tasted it.
And wow… Why has he never tried this before? It was so good that Regulus felt himself almost melt because of the taste. Quickly he composed himself before speaking again.
“ What is that one?” A big smile cracked on Lupin’s face as he started to explain what all the different chocolates were, making the other taste all of them.
Finally it was not a bad thing if he was as crazy as him.
