"you are my sunshine,
my only sunshine"
Regulus was convinced of it, James was his sunshine.
His life had always been full of clouds, of gray, then James had come and brought the light, because that boy was the sun in Reg's life.
When they first kissed, on the astronomy tower, Regulus felt really happy for the first time. He didn't think it was possible because beautiful things never happened to him
But James was there, he was in love with him.
The more time passed, the more he became accustomed to the idea that perhaps, deep down, there was also the possibility for him to be happy.
James was all Regulus needed, he loved him and showed it to him every day.
he had even promised him that he would take him away from that house, and Regulus had believed it.
But then the clouds had returned, the gray had returned, because Regulus had heard those words during the summer.
"you will take the dark mark Regulus"
He had tried to say no, with all his might, but it hadn't worked.
He had spent the summer thinking about James, his sun.
he couldn't stay with him, not with the dark mark on his arm.
When he woke up, the day he would become a Death Eater, he decided that upon returning to Hogwarts he would tell James that they could no longer be together.
Still, part of him told him it wasn't too late to save himself.
But things never went well with Regulus. He and James broke up, he no longer had anyone. He no longer had his sun.
July 19, 1979
The water was cold, he felt almost no pain anymore.
He felt his strength diminish more and more and the only thing he thought about was James.
He thought of James who was happy with Lily at that moment, he thought of all the things they said to each other, of all the "I love you", of James's promises.
There would be nothing left. He would never see the sun again. He would not see his sun again.
He let himself be dragged to the bottom, closing his eyes.
That was the end of Regulus black.
And as he died, he could only think of one thing..."please don't take my sunshine away."
