Only you my love, Though it may be rough, It'll always be you, And it'll always be me.

Previously titled "Burnt Hope." Regulus Black is persuaded by his brother, Sirius, to run away with him in the middle of the summer. And to none other than the Potter's. But, when he arrives at his new home, there's something about James which both infuriates and intrigues him. Regulus isn't one for making friends. So, what happens when James helps him open up and shows him what love really is? ◇This is a non-magic (muggle)AU.
