Reg had nothing but a backpack and a half dead phone. He knew they'd kick him out, they'd never accept him as a son, so he'd packed a bag a week ago. He'd seen it coming a mile away.
Now he stood on a sidewalk, in a neighborhood he'd only been to once.
Regulus walked here one time, and only the one time. He shouldn't have, he knew that. But he knew this was where his brother had moved to. So maybe, maybe he'd hoped to have seen him that day. Not talk to him, but just.....see him one more time.
But now he was back, six years later. He looked different. He was different. And he was about to knock on his brother's door for the first time as, well, his little brother.
Regulus wiped his eyes, making sure any tears were long gone. He walked up to the door. He stared at it. Would sirius even take him? Gods would he recognize him?
Reg knocked before he could talk himself out of it. He heard shuffling inside, then the door swung open.
Regulus stared at his brother. It'd been so long. He looked grown up. His hair was longer than Regulus had ever seen it. It suited him.
He could tell Sirius was trying to make sense of what he saw. It was dark, the sun had set a few hours ago.
"Reggie?" Sirius whispered.
Reg teared up and nodded.
"Oh my god." Sirius grabbed him and pulled him into a tight hug. Regulus melted into it, feeling the tears begin to fall from them both.
"I'm sorry it took me so long...I'm sorry it took for them to not want me anymore for me to leave." Regulus choked out the words. He'd always regretted staying, but he'd always been too scared to leave.
"It's ok," Sirius ran his fingers through Regulus' short hair. "all that matters is your here now."
Sirius pulled back, still holding Reg's shoulders. "What do you mean they didn't want you anymore?" His eyes were concerned.
Regulus took a breath. It was now or never he supposed. "They, um....they didn't see me...the way I wanted to be seen. They didn't want me as a son."
He felt sirius' hand come back to his hair, playing with the short ends. Sirius smiled. "I like the hair. It fits you."
Regulus felt himself smile a little. It'd been months since he'd done that.
"Do you have a name I should call you then?"
Regulus nodded. "Regulus." Sirius' eyes lit up. "You're a star now." "I am. The lion's heart." Sirius teared up and hugged him again.
"I've always wanted a little brother." Regulus smiled, head buried into his older brother.
"Come in. We'll get the guest room all set up for you, Reggie."
~~~
The house felt cozy. It felt so different from Grimmauld, yet it felt so familiar. It felt so much like Sirius. He'd missed that feeling so much.
His brother led him down the hall and to the last room on the left. "It doesn't get used often so it's all yours. My room's just across the hall and Moony's is next to mine. He'll be home soon actually. You- remember Remus right?"
"I do. He was one of your few friends I actually liked." It was true. Regulus always thought that maybe if things would have been different, he would've been good friends with Remus. Though now things were different. Maybe that thought could be true.
"I'm sure he'll be glad to see you, though I'll fill him in on- well, all this if that's ok? I should probably let him know that my estranged younger brother is staying with us." Sirius laughed a little.
"Tell him whatever you want, coming out over and over is exhausting. I wish I could just make everyone forget I was ever someone else." Regulus sat on the guest bed, laying his backpack next to him.
"Don't worry, Reggie, I'm great as gaslighting people." His brother winked, Regulus rolled his eyes.
Sirius plopped onto the bed next to him. "You still have your old friends?" Regulus nodded. "I do, though I haven't been in contact with them for a few months. Our parents shut down my phone service so I haven't spoken to anyone in awhile."
"We'll fix that first thing tomorrow ok? I'm not letting you lose your friends because of that witch."
"They won't be surprised that it was her fault, but I think they will be surprised that I ended up here. They always knew how anxious I was about the idea of finding you."
Sirius' face softened. "I'm glad you did. I've really missed you, Regulus." Reg smiled at hearing his name coming from his brother. "And I'm grateful I get to know you again. Get to know you in the way you want to be known." "Me too."
Regulus leaned his head on Sirius. "Get some sleep alright? You've clearly had a long day." Sirius got up and went for the door.
"Goodnight, Siri."
"Goodnight, Reggie."

Regulus sat behind his brother, holding his long strands of hair and twisting them together. "You're really good at this, Reggie."
"Mother taught me. Said a girl should know how to fix hair. Not that it worked out very well in the end, I'm not even a girl anymore." Sirius laughed. "I have the longer hair now." Sirius laid back, head in Reg's lap. "Mother would hate it, Reggie."
Reg lightly smacked his brother's face. "Get up, let me finish your hair." Sirius sat back up. "Idiot."
"Moron."
"Twat."
"Cunt."
"Bitch."
"Why thank you, Reggie, I got it from mother."
This time Reg let out a laugh. "You're such a fucking dipshit." "You love it." "I tolerate it. There." Regulus dropped the braid he'd just finished. "Now get out of my room." Sirius hopped off the bed. "Aw, you wound me." "Not as much as I'd like to."
Sirius laughed and went to the door. "I'll be back in a few hours, don't burn down the house and don't do anything I would do." Regulus rolled his eyes, thinking about how James was coming over just after Sirius got the hell out. "Wouldn't dream of it."
