Thank you guys so so much from the bottom of my heart for how much reads this story has gotten. I published it just for fun not thinking it would get any attention and it did. This is my favorite fic I've ever written, and I was more than glad to have an excuse to write another chapter.

Here's my gift to you :)

~~~

BEING DEAD WAS an odd feeling to Regulus. He definitely was going to have to get used to it.

The white room around him was blinding, but his focus was hardly on that. His attention was on the three people huddled by the door.

"Sorry, I'm late to the party," he joked, drawing their attention.

All three of them ran towards him and tackled him in a hug.

"Reg!" Hez greeted cheerily. "You're finally here!"

"You really just had to live into your 90s, didn't you?" Aidan poked fun, jokingly. "Try hard."

"Hey, it's not my fault you all decided to die young," he defended with a big grin. "You and Hez really wanted to avoid adulthood, didn't you? At least Kian made it to bloody 61."

Kian grinned at him and threw an arm over his shoulders. "I know you've missed me."

Tears bawled in his eyes as he stared at his three best friends. They hadn't all physically been in the same room for 76 years.

"I have," he admitted. "I've missed you all like crazy."

Aidan smacked his arm. "No tears. We are all together now."

"Too late, love," Kian spoke as he wiped at his own tears.

Hezekiah did the same. "Same here."

Regulus let out a wet laugh as bittersweet tears rolled down his cheeks.

"Oh, fuck you all," Aidan told them as tears bawled in his eyes. "Come here."

They all huddled in for a group hug again.

Regulus missed James, but being with his old roommates again made up for it. Kian, Aidan, and Hezekiah were practically his brothers.

"Well.... what do you guys say we cause some mischief like old times?" He asked them all as their tears died down.

"You don't have to ask me twice," Aidan replied. "The gingers could use some mischief done do them, don't you think?"

He assumed Aidan was referring to Lily and Ezra.

"Ez is going to kill me," Hezekiah pointed out.

Aidan had a mischievous grin on. "So what if you get some angry se—."

Kian whacked Aidan over the head. "Aidan John Barron!"

Hezekiah was bright red. Regulus grinned to himself as he looked at his friends.

Aidan let out a loud laugh and threw his arm around Kian's shoulder. "What? It's true."

Kian looked at Aidan with lovesick but disbelieving eyes. "You're such a shit."

"You love it."

Aidan pressed a kiss against Kian's lips. Regulus's heart felt warm. It was nice to see Aidan and Kian finally together.

"Shall we go now?" He asked them all, regaining their attention.

"Yes!" Aidan answered excitedly. "I say we dye their ginger hair pink! What do you think?"

"I think it's a great idea."

With that, they all walked through the door, ready to cause the most mischief the afterlife had ever seen.
