Summary: They have been brooding and it's time to talk about Greyback
Remus had been brooding since Greyback had returned. People might say that Regulus had done his own brooding, but that would have been incorrect. As far as Regulus was concerned, he was thinking and planning, which was very different than brooding. Any Slytherin would know the difference.
Greyback was back. Regulus didn't think the werewolf would go after him, mostly because Greyback didn't do anything unless it got him something: money, position, revenge, more werewolves. No, that really wasn't the problem. The problem was that they had been in too many raids together, and Greyback had made the Lupin a personal case. If and when he got to Remus, Greyback would smell Regulus on Remus and then - This is where he was stuck. There was the small chance that he'd stay quiet, but he didn't think so. The other options were equally devastating: revealing the truth which would cause Remus to be distracted and possibly get hurt or killed or not revealing the truth and use it for blackmail. Either option would lead to disaster. And even if his calculations were wrong and there were no immediate negative consequences, what would happen when Remus discovered that he'd kept this a secret for so long. He doubted that Remus would understand that it was a strategically sound decision.
Regulus knew what he was supposed to do, but that didn't mean that he wanted to. So he had put it off all day long, but when they got in bed that night, he couldn't wait anymore. He didn't want to do this in the morning and ruin their Sunday mornings, although they might be ruined anyway.
"There's something I need to tell you," he started, looking at his lap instead than Remus. "I need you to let me get through it, and when I'm done, if you want to leave, I'll understand." He turned his head to look at his lover. "I don't want you to leave, but I'll understand."
