word count: 1.2k
warnings: a tiny bit angst, fluff!, mediocre writing :)
a/n: this is basically based more on regulus and the reader, not on sirius sorry :( and also is based on a scenario i had! im not that proud of this so enjoy! (also the header is cool ashell but it has nothing to do with the fic)
“but i want to be his friend!” you whined, looking at sirius with a pout.
“its not a rule to be best friends with your boyfriend’s brother” sirius assured you, smiling softly.
you and sirius were finally in a relationship. after pining for each other for roughly 6 years. since your first year, you and sirius had an undeniable chemistry which the other marauders couldn't relate to.
being a founding member of the marauders, you were close with all of them but you didn't mingle well with sirius at the beginning; though by your 2nd year you were the closest with him.
“tell me things that regulus likes! maybe i like them too!” you exclaimed happily, turning to look at him. you and him were cuddling during the hogsmeade weekend. it was sunday morning and both of you were too tired after last night’s activities.
getting up with a groan, you picked up your shirt from the floor and put it on.
“ah still sore?” sirius smirked, still in bed.
“you wish” you replied with a smirk of your own, “i'm going to shower now”
sirius got up happily, rushing to the washroom only to see that you locked it.
he knocked softly, “am i welcome?”
“not today love!” you chirped over the sound of the shower.
sirius pouted and put on his clothes, singing a tune quietly.
!!!
you watched quietly as regulus walked into the gryffindor common room with a smile, walking towards sirius.
while they were talking, you couldn't help but overhear that regulus needed to run errands.
“i can come with you! i mean- i have errands too so could we go together to save time?” you smiled nervously at him.
you were sitting on the couch while regulus and sirius were in front of you standing-or rather leaning on the wall.
“uh- sure? only if you want to?” he looked at you suspiciously. sirius gave you an unimpressed look, but you just shrugged in response.
“oh then when do you want to go?”
“after lunch is good,”he confirmed with a nervous smile, “that's ok with you?”
“yep absolutely!” you smiled back.
after a while regulus left, nodding at you. sirius joined you on the couch.
“so when is our date?” Sirius asked with a frown.
“it will be right after I'm back from hogsmeade” you answered, moving his curls from his face.
“why do you want to go with him?” he asked again curiously.
“i've forced myself into all of your friends’ lives and now they’re really good friends of mine but your brother- I can't seem to crack him, I don't know why.”
“you do know that you didn't force yourself, we forced you into our lives. we found a girl who understood our problems and you liked the same things as us” he said, melting your heart, “and most importantly you keep us in line- although sometimes it's you who encourage us.” he added with a chuckle.
“thank you love, didn't know i made such a difference in your lives actually.” you admitted softly.
“you are our lives- wait my life.” he corrected himself with furrowed brows, “it would be weird if you were their entire life too.”
you both laughed softly and sunk into comfortable silence, holding each others’ hands.
!!!
after a fulfilling lunch, you headed out, waiting out of the slytherin common room.
“are you regulus’ friend?” a first year you didn't know, asked you looking up at you.
“uh- hopefully? i'm ____ and you are?” you introduced yourself kindly.
“oh i'm regulus' best friend.” she replied with a smirk.
“oh is that true?” you asked with an amused smile.
“yes! and since you are his friend, come inside!” she offered with a sweet smile.
you thanked her and entered with her by your side. the slytherin common room was familiar to you, because of all the past pranks.
you actually felt welcomed in the common room, unlike what you thought before.
the young girl kept you occupied until regulus showed up.
“hey what are you doing here?” regulus asked confused, finally coming down his staircase.
“uh- we were supposed to go on errands now?” you replied, hurt that he forgot so soon.
“i meant- how did you get in?” regulus clarified.
while you were walking out together, you filled in your new friendship with regulus’ best friend. he seemed to find it really hilarious and randomly kept laughing about it.
!!!
you both returned, one extremely guilty (regulus) and one extremely sad (you).
“what happened?” sirius asked amused, noticing both of your expressions.
“i’m- i’m going to my dorm, i’ll meet you later” you answered him, holding a bag in each hand, with a scratchy voice, which usually means you’re about to cry.
“what happened?” sirius asked, now panicked.
“i…dont know?” regulus said confused, looking at where you were standing seconds ago.
regulus gave up and sat down on the couch, sirius joining him.
“how did it go?” sirius was getting annoyed because no one was answering his question.
“we were having fun at first but then she started asking questions and just saying weird things like ‘do you think animals have their own separate world just like us but we can't see it because we’re humans?’ what the hell does that mean?”
“then?” sirius was a bit offended now. he didn't like any kind of insult towards you, because like he said before, you were his life.
“so i asked her what she wanted from me and she said that she wanted to be my friend. i told her that we are very different people and we wouldn't be good friends and probably shouldn't try to be. and quite understandably, she got upset and didn't speak at all- i tried to apologize but she just ignored me.”
“dude-are you serious?” sirius exclaimed.
“no you are” regulus smiled, proud of himself.
“i raised you well” sirius smiled for a brief second, then returned to his intimidating ‘older brother’ expression, “but - see you know get these stupid but interesting thoughts that you’re embarrassed you thought of it?”-regulus nodded- “you mention one of these thoughts to her and boom you’ve made a lifelong friend”
“its that easy?” regulus asked suspiciously.
“yep” sirius nodded proudly.
!!!
after a long but necessary scolding from sirius, regulus finally prepared mentally and also bought chicken wings as a peace offering to apologize.
soft knocks distracted you from your stress relieving knitting.
“yes?” you asked with a still scratchy voice.
“uh-its regulus, may i come in?” he asked politely.
“you don’t have to” you reminded him quietly.
“i think i will” he mumbled and opened the door, standing in front of you, his face full of regret.
after reluctantly listening to his apology and his weird description of your friendship through a very confusing analogy with a squirrel and a cold winter, you understood where he came from and gratefully accepted his apology.
“but i did make you uncomfortable so i'm sorry about that.” you said.
regulus shrugged your apology, waving his hand, “here i got this as a peace offering, it's from the kitchens.” he handed the chicken wings that were still warm, sitting next to you in your bed.
“what? you got me chicken wings and you're telling me now? you should've mentioned it before, i would have forgiven you sooner!” you smiled widely, accepting the box.
both of you slid into a smooth conversation, unaware of sirius’ gaze on both.
