"No, don't - don't come any closer."
"Reg-"
"Please, please, I don't want you to see me like this, just let me - let me clean myself up and-"
"You're shaking."
"Sorry."
"You don't - Reg - Regulus, stop, hey," he takes the other boy by the arm as he tries to get past him, pulling him in.
"I'm sorry," Regulus says again. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so fucking sorry."
"Sh, sh, it's alright, we're alright," Regulus is flush against his chest, head tucked beneath his chin.
"I don't know why I'm crying."
"You don't need to have a reason."
"You shouldn't have to come home to this."
"What are you talking about? I get to come home to you. That's all that matters."
Regulus shakes his head against James's shirt, sniffling. "I'll get myself together."
"I don't mind you apart."
"I meant to have dinner ready."
"I'm not hungry."
"James."
"Regulus."
"I don't know what's wrong with me," he says miserably.
"Nothing, nothing's wrong," and then, after a brief pause, and in a voice so gentle Regulus doesn't know how it's even possible: "You're just depressed."
Regulus half-laughs and half-sobs into James. "You have no tact, anyone ever tell you that? No tact at all."
"You tell me all the time," kissing the top of his head and holding him more tightly. A few seconds pass before: "I love you, you know?"
Regulus's hands are all twisted up in James's shirt, a wounded noise coming out of his mouth. "I thought it might stop, now that..."
"That?"
"You and I are..that we're so good. I thought it might stop."
"Don't think it works like that."
"I'm sorry."
"No," kissing his head again. His temple. His ear. His cheek. "I don't mind Regulus, I really don't. You just need to tell me, okay? Tell me when you feel it coming on, and I'll know and I'll be here."

if you want to be friends with someone, don't tell them how their kindness towards others is annoying. don't give dirty looks to them when you see their makeup. don't tell them to shut up about something they enjoy. don't disrespect them. be kind to them.
it's no way to make or keep friends, and if you want either; be a decent person

losing my mind in the best way possible at your tag "you're gonna sleep with the fishes (/pos)" because I have suffered from bad nightmares since childhood but one of my happy recurring dreams is sinking gently to the bottom of the ocean and just staring above as the light fades away. thanks for that bit of serotonin <3
LMAO hell yeah!!!!

studied a lot of equine today with my friend from class (who is a horse girl) and for the first time in forever I finally feel like I understand things (even just a lil bit) about horses and I feel a lil bit more confident about taking the NAVLE again in april 💜
