:-'✮'-

The moonlight shined brightly on my face as I wokeup. Groaning, I straightened my neck out, fixing my posture in the chair I was sleeping in.

I looked to my left, seeing Regulus sleeping peacefully. Although, he had his arms crossed on his chest, as if he was offended in his sleep..

I smiled lightly at the thought.

His face seemed so much calmer than how he usually looks, better than looking like a 100% bitch all the time. His chest rose up and down rhythmically, and soft breaths were heard.

Memories came flashing back to when we first met, when he allowed me to sleep in his dorm multiple times. It was a nice gesture I never forgot about.

I admired his face for a little bit longer, holding my hand out to brush the hair out of his place. I smiled seeing him sleep so peacefully.

A soft smile appeared on my face as I kept stroking his cheek and his hair. In the moment, it seemed ideal. I didn't realize he started to stir in his sleep, and I quickly pulled my hand away.

He groaned, "I saw that, you know." A red blush was emninent on my cheeks, but thankfully it was dark outside.

"Uhh.. what do you mean?"

"I mean that, I saw and felt it. I'm not stupid, Y/N." He sighed, opening his eyes and turning on his side to face me. Adjusting awkwardly in my seat, I fiddled with my hands. "Sorry.."

"It's okay."

After that, it became silent. But it was a good, comfortable silence. I was scared to speak, and I kept looking in my lap. I could feel his stare on me, though.

"You're still wearing my jersey?" He spoke after a while, causing me to go back into reality.

"Oh, sorry.." I apologized quietly. Regulus let out a small chuckle, causing me to smile a bit.

"No need to say sorry. It looks.." He paused, "Good on you."

If I wasn't already blushing hard, I sure was now. Turning my head to look outside the window, I was focused on the moonlight outside. I pretended to look busy with something else, as he seemed to study my face. "Why are you here?" Slowly turning my head, I opened my mouth but closed it again.

I was debating whether or not to make up a lie, but that'd be useless anyway. "Your friends all left me before I could say anything so.. plus I wanted to lookout for you. You took a nasty fall, Regulus," My voice laced with concern, hearing myself go quiet after each word. He hummed, "I won the match, no? That's all that matters to me, in my opinion."

"I mean, yeah you did. But why does that matter? That doesn't justify that you almost died. We were all worried for you. Do you know how much it scares me that-" Cutting myself off, I then cleared my throat. "Nevermind.."

"Nono, finish what you were gonna say, Y/N," He sat up fully now, looking at me with an intense stare, along with him folding his hands into his lap. "..What I was gonna say was, how much it'd scare me to not see you awake again."

"You're being overdramatic," He laughed, "We live in a Magical school for fucks sake. Did you forget about that or were you too busy thinking about something else? Besides, I'm perfectly fine  now. I look unharmed and I'm able to move around." This caused me to give him an incredulous look.

"..Yeah, you're right about one thing, but there's no 'magic' for bringing the dead back to life. I think you're missing the point here,"

"Uh huh, Y/N, we're all going to die eventually, anyways. I don't know why you're worked up. I'm fine and well."

"Regulus, you-"

"It's been a long day. I'm going to bed, Goodnight Y/N." He stated one last time, before turning his back fully away from me and facing the other way.

"...goodnight, Regulus."
