Remus | Regulus
You want me to tell you my insecurities? How long have you got because I assure you I could write a scroll that could wrap around the entire planet 8 times. I don't talk about my insecurities. I don't do feelings, but you ask me things and I feel I must oblige you. Why? I don't know. Honestly. What it is about you that makes me want to protect you. Maybe because you're such an innocent fool with so many good intentions, and I've grown fond of that. The world is a dark place, Remus, but you are a golden sliver of light amidst the darkness. You don't care about my peculiarities and, as you say, you've thrown in with me without really knowing where my true intentions are. Quite typical of you Gryffindors to be so impulsive, but in you, I find it endearing.
Very well, I suppose we should stop beating around the bush then. Simply put, I want you. I've never wanted anything or anyone in this way, that it consumes my entire life. I love it and loathe it all at the same time. I shouldn't want you. You're everything I shouldn't want, and yet here I am thinking of you all the time, my heart my heart wanting to burst out of my chest. I want you, Remus, but there are so many complications that come with that. When you step into my world, you'll be imprisoned by everything that burdens me and that isn't fair to you. You have plenty burdens without me adding to the load. You shouldn't have to shoulder anything else. I don't want to be at odds with you, but I don't know how else we can be. As it is, I feel like I hurt you constantly, and that's nothing compared to what we'll have to deal with concerning my family.
