December 25, 1976
Regulus woke very confused. Then he remembered last night. James must have taken his shoes and shirt off for him. Shit did he see how skinny I was regulus thought.
He got up and pressed his feet on the cold hardwood flooring. He went to go look for some socks when he realized he didn't have anything. No clothes. No home. No fucking shirt on. Nothing.
Regulus ran down the stairs as fast as he could trying to get to the fireplace. When he was almost there a person wrapped their arms around him picking him up.
James set regulus on his feet and pulled him into a hug "where the hell do you think your going little black"
Regulus went still. He wasn't used to affection at all. "I have to go back there" said a muffled regulus.
"No Reg you can't." Said James.
He let a tear roll down his check. Then another. Then another.
Regulus before he could start sobbing ran up to his room.
" I'm going back to bed" he said so rushed James barley understood him.
Regulus rushed up the stairs and slammed the door to their room. He leaned back against the door and slid down it onto the floor, and rubbed his eyes.
He heard a groan from the other side of the room "where are we?" Said Sirius.
"We're at the Potters" said regulus in a numb tone, putting his invisible mask back on.
"Oh....reg...we're safe...we're free!" Sirius said connecting the dots.
"Ok Sirius" said regulus in his numb voice again.
Sirius walked over to him "are you... crying?" He asked
"What! No." Said regulus getting up and walking over to the other bed.
"Reg....." Sirius said, his voice getting weary.
"Im my going to get some more sleep. Night" said regulus as he hoped into the covers.
Sirius sighed and said "reg sooner or later you will have to open up to someone."
Regulus didn't respond to that.
Sirius sighed again and opened the door walking into the hallway.

Regulus woke up again at about 1:00pm. He was now VERY hungry, and it was inevitable to go down stairs for some food.
Regulus sighed and rubbed his eyes. He threw on his slacks and headed down.
"... moony looked soooooo hot in his doc martens the other day like did you see him! Ugh and his ass looked-"
"Sirius I love that you have a crush on moony, and don't deny it you do- but I really dont want to talk about his arse right now." Said James.
Sirius opened and closed his mouth.
Meanwhile regulus was watching this whole conversation leaning on the doorframe.
"R-reg what-" Sirius started
"I'm just here to get breakfast." Said regulus.
He noticed that Sirius still had a lot of injuries but most of them were held and bandaged.
Regulus looked around and saw nothing on the counters or table.
"Um- James is there um and food I can eat" regulus asked starching the back of his neck.
"Oh ya ya of course. We're also having a Christmas dinner tonight and instead of opening presents this morning, mom dad and I wanted to wait until this evening so you both could join us" James said with his goofy grin.
Regulus almost smiled at this. Almost.
"Ok" said regulus in a neutral tone.
James and Sirius just looked at him. They didn't understand why he wouldn't let people see his emotions.
Regulus took the plate of toast that James had made while he was talking and walked back up to the room. Waiting inside the room was a very smiley looking woman.
"Hello I'm Euphima James mum, and I'm assuming you are regulus?" The kind lady asked.
"Yes I'm regulus, nice to meet you Mrs. Potter." He said in his well manored voice.
"Please hun call me Euphmina" she said.
"Ok" regulus said.
"I changed the bed sheets on your bed and gave you a pair of fresh clothes of James' they will be a bit big but we can get you some of your own clothes as soon as possible" she said.
"I- thank you so much" regulus said. He truly had never felt more thankful in his life.
Euphmina gave his hand a squeeze then walked out of the room.
Regulus walked over to where the clothes were set, and looked at them. Grey sweats, fuzzy socks, and a griffindoor sweater.

He changed into them and noticed how comfortable they felt. They smelled like James. He held the hoodie to his nose. The smell was comforting, he liked it.
He liked James Potters sweater.
