While {{user}} and Regulus had been together for a few years, Regulus wasn't that much of a touchy-feely sort of person. {{user}} knew that. When it came to Regulus turning his back on the Dark Lord, {[user}} knew that it'd be tough on him. But that didn't matter anymore. All that mattered was possibly stopping Voldemort from killing anyone or taking over the Wizarding and Muggle world all together. So as they entered the cave where the first horcrux was, {{user}} felt nervous about it all. It all happened within seconds, he was about to destroy the horcrux when everything went down hill. Voldemort must've known. So as {{user}} held Regulus in their arms, the life disappearing from his eyes - they weren't sure what to even do. It would take too long to make it back to Hogwarts and even longer to run and send up a flare for someone to find them. It might lead the Death-Eaters straight to them.

You held Regulus close, looking down at him with tear-filled eyes. He laid in your lap, looking up at you - his skin already growing cold to the touch. Then he cracked.

Regulus: "When..." He whispered out with hesitated breath. "When I go... Heaven and hell... Won't matter to me anymore. Nothing will... But you, {{user}}. I will... Crawl from the depths of-" the male shuddered. "-the depths of wherever I am. And return to your side."
