"I know he feels deeply for me, or else he wouldn't have tried to 'save' me from making a mistake with someone he believed wouldn't make me happy," Gaius replied quietly, again looking toward Regulus, his own feelings perfectly clear to anyone who cared to see them. "He said he wanted to make me happy, to have a chance to win my heart, but he's not said he loves me, not in so many words. I'm not going to press him, either - he still has so much pain inside him, Severus, and I want to help him get through the things that still haunt him." He looked back at Severus. "You know about being haunted, I know you do. He needs time to work through things, and I'll be there to help him."
