Hospital Wing

Halloween took ehte potion from Viktor and tipped it down Reg's throat, and finished bandaging his head.

"Thank you," he says quietly before looking back down at Reg's unconscious body and holding his hand again.

A note flies in and lands in Viktor's hands.

Viktor-

I've left Hogwarts. I needed
to get away, to think, among
other things. I don't know
where I'm going or when I
will be back. Please send me a
letter if anything changes with
Regulus. It will find me, don't
worry. If When he wakes,
please tell him that I love him.

-Sirius

[WHY HAS SIRIUS LEFT?]

[BECAUSE REG OD'D AND NEARLY DIED AND FREAKED HIM OUT.... AND EOWYN'S ON HOLIDAYS FOR A WEEK SO SHE WON'T BE ON, WHICH MADE IT THE SIMPLEST WAY TO GET SIRIUS OUT OF THE STORYLINE]

[EOWYNS ON HOLIDAY?! -freaks out-]

[I am not leaving until tomorrow but I will not be on much if at all today, and definitely not tonight. My friend is staying over and we haven't seen each other since last October.]

Viktor blinks as a note comes in, realizing he never got any sleep and it's not morning. He reads the note from Sirius and puts it in his pocket, briefly wondering where Sirius is before turning his focus and attention back to the sleeping Reg.

*twitch*

[Sorry. Had to do it. I was going to wake him up for a bit but the baby isn't sleeping, so... bye. I guess. I might be back.]

[HAHAHA! Okay. Bye! <3]

Eowyn is really slow on her iPod so she's sorry.

Regulus stirs a little, mumbling something incoherent in his sleep, the only word that is just barely understandable is Viktor's name. He starts to gain consciousness.

Viktor suddenly looks up at Reg when he hears his name, still holding his hand. "Regulus?" He gently strokes his cheek as he starts to stir. "I'm here Regulus. I'm here for you," he says softly.

[I have my laptop! Yayness! I may disappear, so if I do, and it's been a few hours, just godmod and pretend I passed out.]

Reg's eyes flutter open at Viktor's touch, and the room slowly comes into focus. He doesn't know it, obviously, but his eyes are no longer grey- they are, in fact, a bright silver, reminiscent of Djinn's. He nearly faints again when he sees who's beside him. "Viktor?"

[YAY!!!!!!!]

Viktor smiles as Regulus wakes up and his so happy he barely notices the eye color change. "Yes. It's me," he says smiling.

"But... why- why are you here? Why am I here? What- what happened?" he said, his voice shaky and soft. "I love you," he added in a soft mumble.

"I love you too Regulus. You- Vell, Sirius and I found you last night in the showers," he says quietly as he thinks of everything that happened. "You overdosed and ve brought you here."

"I... shit," he whispered, closing his eyes as he struggled to remember what happened, and felt sick to his stomach when he finally recalled it all. "I didn't mean for it to happen. I'm sorry, Vikt- did you just say Sirius? What was he doing with you?" he questioned, looking confused.

"Oh. Vell- ve're sort of friends now. Close friends. He vould have stayed, but he had to leave Hogvarts to take care of some stuff," he paused and looked Regulus in the eyes. "He vanted me to tell you that he loves you, Regulus."

"You and Sirius- you're friends now?" he asked, his tone mostly confused, but a little hurt. He stares in a stunned silence at his last words, then looks away. "He doesn't mean that."

Viktor gently takes his hand to turn Regulus' face back to his. "Yes. He does. You didn't see him last night. He vas really worried about you. You probably don't remember him hugging you before he left, but he did."

Regulus stayed quiet and closed his eyes, melting at Viktor's touch, which he had so missed. Finally, he gathers his courage and looks at him again. "Viktor- why are you here? With me, now? I... I know you don't need to be. I'm okay, now, I think... well, I will be. I will be, right?"

"You'll be fine. I promise," he says with a small smile before becoming serious again. "I vant to be here Regulus. I vant to be here vith you."

"But- but you said..." Regulus shook his head. "No. I won't let you. I don't deserve you. I never did. I've caused enough damage."

"I didn't mean it," he said quietly. "I shouldn't have said those things to you, Reg. I can't do this. I haven't stopped thinking about you. I haven't stopped missing you. Not for von second."

Regulus, for the first time in weeks- other than when he was high- smiled, if only slightly. "You didn't mean it? You didn't mean it," he said softly, suddenly feeling much more alive than he had a moment ago. "I haven't stopped missing you either. Never. Not- not with him, even. Viktor- Merlin, I am... I'm sorry. You, you were right. About him," he whispered, his voice faltering again. He closed his eyes and rolled over, afraid to look at Viktor. "I should have listened. I never should have doubted you."
