Childhood Habits

            Regulus Black was lying under the dining room table in his flat. It was a childhood habit, something he had done when he was small and his mother was angry with him, when he missed his brother or his older cousins were teasing him. He was only eighteen, it hadn�t been so long since he was a child and sometimes he went back to his old comforts: lying under tables, reading fantasy stories about Oz and Na rnia, eating too many sweets, and most of all loving his brother. It was the last one that meant the most to him. It was the last one he had to give up.

            A key turned in the door and his older brother let himself in. As far as Sirius was concerned, he came and went on a whim but Regulus could see a pattern in his visits. Regulus knew when to expect him.

            There was a summer storm outside. Sirius was soaking wet. He look off his leather jacket and hung it by the door then shook himself like a dog, sending water everywhere. �Regulus,� he called laughing. �It�s Sirius. Where are you?�

�Down here,� Regulus answered. Sirius dropped down and peered under the table.

�What are you hiding under there for, Reggie baby?� Sirius asked.

�I was waiting for you,� Regulus said.

�Knew I was coming, did you? You�re quite the master of divination. Well, I�m here now so why don�t you get up off of the floor.� He smiled lazily, touched a finger to the tip of his brother�s nose. �Though I suppose we could find something to do down here.�

Regulus shook his head vehemently at the suggestion and tried to get to his feet, banging his head on the underside of the table.

�Watch it, Reggie,� his brother said with some concern. Sirius placed his hand on top of Regulus� head so he wouldn�t clonk it again and pulled him out from under the table depositing him on the sofa with a shake.

�What are you up to, baby?� Sirius demanded.

�I told you, I�ve been waiting for you. I have something really important I need to talk about to you,� Regulus slurred.

�Really important, is it? Just not quite as important as getting high? It�s four in the afternoon and you�re already so wasted you can�t get up off the bloody floor on your own.�

�Listen to me. This is serious, Sirius,� Regulus said, then dissolved in giggles.

�Yeah, obviously very serious. Please tell me this is from some kind of a charm or a potion and that you�re not using that Muggle street poison.� He caught hold of Regulus� left arm, which his brother was holding oddly, twisted and pressed against his body.

�What are you doing?� Regulus yelled, jerking away violently.

�I want to see your arms. I want to know if you�ve been shooting up. The last time I was over here, you were nodded out half the time.�

�Well, that didn�t seem to deter you at all,� Regulus said, turning away from his brother. �Why the sudden concern for my well-being, Sirius? If I didn�t know better, I might actually think you cared.�

For a moment, an ugly look, a deep scowl passed over Sirius� face, but then he smiled charmingly as he rubbed his brother�s shoulders.

�Come on, baby, I�ve spent years getting you broken in just the way I like,� he laughed. �I�d hate to have to start from square one again.� He trailed a hand across his brother�s faded Aladdin Sane t-shirt.

�Please, don�t do that.�

�Please,� Sirius imitated him, slipping his hand under the shirt, working Regulus� nipples between his fingers. �Don�t do that.� Regulus sank back into the sofa, surrendering to his brother�s touch. It had been like this for so long. He had always been Sirius� more gentle reflection, the passive, pretty mirror to his brother�s robust vitality. This was where they fitted together perfectly, completed each other. Sirius pressed against Regulus kissing him deeply, possessively. His hand moved between Regulus� thighs.

�No,� the boy suddenly said resolutely. No spell was uttered, he didn�t have his wand but Sirius was abruptly shoved several feet away from him onto the floor.

�What was that, Regulus?� Sirius asked between clenched teeth, pulling himself to his feet.

�This is what I need to tell you,� Regulus said. �We can�t do this anymore. You can�t be with me like this anymore. You can still come over here any time you like -- I want you to. I don�t want to stop seeing you, but as a brother. Like other brothers, not like this.�

�When I left home, Reggie baby, you said you�d do anything to keep me in your life. You told me you�d accept any terms as long as I didn�t leave you.�

�I was fourteen when I said that, Sirius. I was a little kid. Things have changed since then. I�m with someone.�

Sirius shrugged. �You�ve always been involved with someone,� he said. �Or several someone�s. It never mattered before.�

�This time it matters.�

�Does it now?� A note of mockery had crept into Sirius� voice.

�It does,� Regulus said desperately. �From now on, it�s got to be just him. No one else, not even you.�

�Who is it, Reg?� Sirius asked with a smirk. �What�s his name?�

�That�s not your business.�

�It is my business,� Sirius insisted. �I�d like to know who I�m being thrown over for. I�d like to know who could possibly be good enough for my baby brother.�

�You can be horribly cruel, Sirius,� Regulus said simply. �I�m not going to tell you who he is because I don�t want to hear you mocking him. He means too much to me.�

Sirius laughed. �You�re worse than a girl, Reggie,� he said. �All your little tricks to get my attention, your drugs, and your imaginary lovers.�

Regulus looked away, tears pooling in his violet colored eyes.

�Has it ever occurred to you, Sirius,� he said with deliberate care, �that you�re not the center of my world any more?� He raised his left arm, the one he had been holding to his side and extended it to his brother. There were needle marks, just as he�d said there would be. Needle marks, and the image of a snake and a skull burned into the tender flesh.

For a long moment Sirius Black was silent. �You little fool,� he finally spat out. �What have you done?� He slapped Regulus across the face then grabbed him by the shoulders, dragged him to his feet and started shaking him viciously. �You�ve really proved yourself, haven�t you? Mother must have been beside herself with delight when you joined up. Such a good little boy, restoring his family name to prominence after his awful, older brother dragged it through the mud.�

�Stop it, Sirius,� Regulus warned. Sirius slackened, but didn�t release him.

�What are you going to do if I don�t?� Sirius demanded. �Use an unforgivable curse on me? Torture me to death? That�s what Death Eaters do, that�s what your Mark says you do. Are you a murderer now, little brother? A murderer and a bigot?�

�That�s right, Sirius,� Regulus answered flatly.

�And this boyfriend of yours, he�s a Death Eater as well, I suppose?�

�Yes.�

�Is this your way of showing me up? Getting involved in the Dark Arts and pledging your eternal fidelity to some fanatical Death Eater? Is this your way of showing me how grown up you are?�

�No,� Regulus said. His voice was cold and dead. �It�s my way of living without you. You�re heartless, Sirius. You�ve been using me for years. You use everyone. Do you still have that boy who used to trail around after you at school, the quiet one with the scars? Do you still do whatever you like, then go back to him knowing he�s so grateful for someone like you he�ll pretend he doesn�t know what you do? You didn�t leave home because you were different from Mum and Dad. You left home because you were so much like them you couldn�t stand them--selfish and proud and absolutely convinced of your own importance.�

�That�s not true,� Sirius said, pushing his brother away.

�Do you remember the summer I was five and you were seven?� Regulus asked. �When we walked in the forest all afternoon following the unicorn trails and when we got home we�d missed tea? Mother was so angry. There was one scone left; she gave it to you because you were the heir.�

�You were hungry,� Sirius said softly. �You were always hungry when you were little. I shared the scone with you. Mother caught me and we were both beaten.�

�You loved me then,� Regulus said. �I�d go back to being five, to mother, to being beaten if it meant you loved me but you don�t, do you?�

�No,� Sirius admitted. �I don�t. I�m sorry.�

Sirius Black laid the key to the apartment on the table. He walked out the door. They never saw each other again.

Severus Snape found his lover lying under the dining room table. Wordlessly, Snape took Regulus into his arms, stroking his chestnut hair, carefully, so carefully kissing away his tears. Snape was not accustomed to offering comfort or to displaying affection. It was awkward for him, but he understood what was needed. He did not know the particulars, but he had recognized the leather jacket hanging beside the door.
