Apocalypse | Regulus Black

S I X

Being with Olivia was like being captured, but I built the cage and I have the key. Yet I stay because my parents are outside the cage applauding me

When i'm with Olivia I can only think of Hestia. How her lips were so soft. How her intentions were always pure.

I'm glad she's not with anyone. I couldn't take it. Last year it was torture.

I see her with Sirius, she got a new muggle camera that I would never understand how it works, they've been taking silly pictures all bloody lunch

I can hear her laugh at something Potter said and I watched Sirius put his arms around her. They were all admiring her new haircut.

She cut her hair much shorter and her curls were more defined. Beauty in its truest form

"That filthy mudblood, can't even eat looking at her" Olivia complained, she does a lot of that

"Then stop looking at her" I answered

"Why don't you"

Well because Olivia. I will never see such beauty again in my life and I want to get devoured by it for as long as I can.

I don't even finish eating, she fulfills my basic human needs, watching her takes away the need for anything else.

I stayed at Hogwarts over winter holiday. I had research I had to complete

She stayed too, she was wearing puffer jackets ive only seen muggles wear and her hair caught snowflakes

"Have a good holiday Regulus" she waved and walked by me in the library

I set out to get her a christmas gift, she had gotten me birthday gifts and I never once sent her a gift

I knew her birthday, October 4th.

I went to hogsmead, what do you get a girl that you're absolutely in lo- nevermind

I looked around I would've spent every last galleon I had making her happy

There was a gold locket.

"Perfect for that one special lady" the man told me

"I'll take it"

"Want anything engraved? Name? Initials? special date?"

I froze I was not about to give her a locket with my name on it, seemed a bit obnoxious

"R.A.B"

"Very well sir"

When christmas came I found her sitting by a window ledge reading a huge muggle book "Little women"

"Happy christmas Regulus" she smiled that was the only gift I needed

"I got you something" She hid her blushing cheeks

"Can you wait for me here?"

I'll wait for you anywhere forever "Yeah" I sat down and she ran off

I picked up the book she was reading. It was about a family of four sisters. I tried not to like it but it was a pretty good book

"Property of Professor Athena Davies"

"Here you go" I jumped slamming the book shut

She had hand knit me a black jumper with the slytherin crest engraved on the upper left side. She hand made me something

"You always seem cold"

"I got you something too"

"You didn't have too" she protested

I handed her the long box, her face lit up once she saw it made these butterflies flutter in my stomach

"I can't take this" she closed the box

"You can and you will"

"Let me buy you something else"

"Recon this jumper is my favorite gift"

I stood up "Let me put it on you" I grabbed the gold necklace

Her heart was beating faster and I pulled aside her hair my cold hands making the hairs on her neck stand up

"Thank you Regulus" she turned around and there we were face to face again. Those honey eyes with specs of gold looking at me

"Ruin me Regulus" she cupped my face and kissed me

I almost fell back how elated I felt. I wrapped my hands around her waist and kissed her back. I leaned her against the wall feeling her body on mine. Her lips kissing mine

My ice cold hands melted at her fiery touch. The sin on my tongue was forgiven and washed away

I longed to be with her.

I almost told her that I loved her.

Almost.

She had unraveled me. My self control was useless when it came to her

My fingers burned her skin. Yet I refuse to let go of her

Her skin was not fireproof but her heart was.

Must be cruel how I still stayed with Olivia. She was meeting my family this summer. How mother will approve of her.

Hestia looked away whenever she saw Olivia with me.

For I had kissed her lips every second I could over break. I had touched her bare skin and licked honey off every inch of that sweet skin
