Consequences

Regulus was not a good person. He wasn't brave, or particularly loyal. He was no charmer, no dreamer and no lover.
He did not deserve James, in any capacity. He had little courage, but at this moment he felt the irrevocable need to use it.
The courage to commit, the fondness to demolish. James was all too fond of him and Regulus was tired of losing people.
If he could just allow it to roll off of him, as the gentle current of the river.

Rock bottom is perhaps a foolish comfort, telling those who hit it, that it can never get worse.
That is all but a lie, since evidently, it can always get worse.

Regulus finds himself at a stalemate- to love the boy is to destroy the family. To love himself
is to neglect his duty. Take the mark, join his family- make them proud. Or love the boy, join his brother. Face the consequences.
