He huddled in the corner of the closet, hugging his knees to his chest, shaking. The wall to his back was an exterior wall, and he could feel the rain pounding against it. More than the thunder, he could hear his Mother's screams. Doors slammed, and feet pounded on the floor, and there was more screaming. The door to his brother's room slammed shut, and he could hear the sizzle of magic splicing the air, and Sirius shouting obscenities and throwing things at the door.
Slowly, his hands shaking, Regulus crawled out of his brother's closet, pushing the door open just a crack, to make sure that Sirius was alone. Sirius spun around, sensing the motion, and had his wand pointed at Regulus, but he didn't cast a spell. "Reg! You're in here." He beamed, and when Sirius was smiling like that, he looked radiant beyond the power of words to say.
He bent down, and offered Regulus his hand. "You shouldn't lurk about in people's closets, Reg. What would Mum say if she saw her precious little boy cowering like this?"
Regulus took Sirius' hand, pouting. "Shut up. I-I figured she'd lock you in here, so…" he lied smoothly. There was a particularly vicious crack of thunder, very close by as the window sparkled with the glint of lightening, and Regulus surged forward into his brother's arms.
Sirius laughed, and cuddled his brother to his chest. "Oy, oy, don't tell me that you're still afraid of the rain. Look at you. You look like you're a young man, but you're still a boy, aren't you?"
"Sh-shut up!" Regulus whimpered, tightening his arms around Sirius. It wasn't so much anymore that he was afraid, but he didn't get many chances anymore to cling to Sirius.
"It's ok," Sirius said, kindly, and then he kissed the top of Regulus' head. "Eh, it's not often that I get to be kind to you. Well, that's probably more my fault than yours. But I'm your big brother, so I'm supposed to protect you, right?" His hands rubbed up and down Regulus' back, sending shivers down Regulus' spine. "I don't mind at all," Sirius said, and his voice was warm and soft. "Glad I'm not alone, to tell you the truth."
"Don't have to be alone," Regulus offered in a halted whisper. "I-I'm your little brother, s-so, I can always save you from that fate."
"That'd be nice, Reg," Sirius smiled, and he lifted Regulus' chin to kiss his cheeks. "That'd be really nice."
Regulus beamed, and clung to Sirius. The rain raged on, and as long as Sirius' arms were offered in comfort, Regulus continued to pretend to be afraid of it.
