The love you'd find in books | Regulus Black

Sirius' POV:

"-How's your brother?
-Better now that he's asleep. Seeing them both doesn't make me want to leave, to be honest. I mean, I never wanted to leave, but now I just want to have them both right next to me every minute of every day until we all die very old.
-Sirius...
-No, Moony, I know I can't keep them with me forever. I'm aware of it. But I found a note in a book last time—
-A what now, laughed James.
-Shut up, James! Go ahead, love.
-Thank you, I mouthed, so as I was saying, I found this note that said: "Times flies, we will never be kids again, our siblings are growing up and will never be kids either. We will have to watch our older sibling leave and our baby siblings will have to watch us leave and leave them behind just like our older brother did before us. What used to make us happy is now making us sad, and that's how hard nostalgia can hit.", and somehow I ended up crying after reading it. Because it's true, I'll never have my baby brother back, he's all grown up now...
-So are you, Pads.
-I know, but sometimes it feels like Reggie is way younger than me and I just feel like I never enjoyed my time with him because I kept pushing him away. And now I regret it."

I don't even know how, but my voice broke when I pronounced that last sentence and now I was crying without being able to stop.

Remus hugged me first, then James got up from his chair and joined the hug.
I'm really grateful to have them.
