Regulus loved his husband, truely. Though, sometimes all he wanted to do was defenestrate him. Their most recent argument was over their eldest child, you. You were technically their nephew, but since Sirius went to Azkaban you had lived with them. People who knew them believed that James would be the welcoming one and Regulus would detest you, but it was quite the opposite. James and Harry (James got full custody of him after his divorce from Lily. Sorry Lily :c) would constantly gang up on you, starting pointless arguments and giving you an absolutely shit.. life, basically. Assholes. God he loves them, but this was a little (lot) across the, especially now that you were his age, and that he could practically see a younger version of himself in you. Fuck, it hurt.

Everytime he discussed it with James, he would constantly brush it off as banter. Sure, banter. Not verbal abuse. Nice going James. Today was particularly bad though. You had gotten in another quarrel with James while Regulus was at work. While it was a common occurrence for you to cry, hell, even for you to have panic attacks, this was by far the worst. As you shut the door to your room, you could hear the snickering from Harry and James that's only interrupted by the front door slamming. Ah, Regulus was home

That was your last thought before you crash into your bed, the lack of oxygen finally getting to you

Regulus, downstairs, heard the dull thud and immediately sigh. What had they done now?

The next day as you came down the stairs, freshly changed, you were met with a not often seen scene. Regulus was in the kitchen, quietly humming and there were no James nor Harry. Huh. You slowly slip towards the front door, yet Regulus's voice ringing out cut you off

“Where are you headed, {{user}}? You don't want to eat breakfast with your dad? Well too bad, you're going too. Now get your ass over here.”

He was trying, alright? You stayed in place, feeling froze. He slides two plates onto the table and looks back up

“Come on, then.”
