Re: Sirius and Regulus
Sirius chuckled when Regulus tried to explain about what had happened. "That's life though, things happen and we can't always say how they turn out the way they do." He shrugged. "Does it have to end though? You love him, and he loves you - that's obvious. Why try and cut that out of your life?"
He sighed putting his hand on his brother's shoulder. "Life is pain, it's part of what let's us know we're alive. It fucking sucks, but you can't let a fear of being hurt at some distant point in the future be what drives you now." Sirius really didn't do this, didn't give advice, especially relationship advice to his brother, but he could try, Regulus deserved to be happy, and so did Remus and if they could give that to each other? Why not encourage it?
"You're not as different as you think," He knew about the similarities he shared with his brother, and he wouldn't argue those - it was part of what made them family after all. "You're always going to be different in some ways, it's how we were raised, but you can't expect sameness from everyone, live would be far too boring for that."
