"It will come out, all right. Just turn your hair pink, but I hear pink is the new black." It would not dye his hair pink, but hey, why not leave a bit of suspense? Sirius got up and picked up his ball again as well, calling after Regulus. "Hey, Reg."
He waited to have his attention and then realised he didn't even know what to say. He wanted to break the ice somehow, but at this point it felt impossible. Usually he just tried to butcher his way through and they both came out the worse for it. Maybe it was the only way for them to be any more. "Don't make such a sour face all the time. How are you ever gonna snatch a cousin to marry?"
"Don't insult our family or our bloodline." Regulus cut through the joke with little humour, giving his brother a dark look. He turned away and ran his fingers through his hair, trying to release some stress. "I don't have a sour face, I have an annoying brother. Doesn't seem surprising that the two come together often, does it?"
Shaking his head, Regulus made a retreat because it was safer to run. To smile and to laugh with his brother again - that just didn't seem possible. Even if he missed it. Missed it more than he'd ever confess.
