Regulus holds onto Sirius' hand like it's a lifeline, his other moving to smooth over Sirius' hair again before kissing his forehead. "I'm going to take care of everything, okay? It'll be all right."
It's not exactly a lie so it falls easily from his mouth. When the Healer returns without Remus he grimaces slightly, unsure if he's annoyed or even more hurt. It's stupid. He refuses to step away from his brother so she has to work around him, keeping a slight distance because he exudes an aura of don't touch me so strong it's almost palpable.
His thumb rubs at the back of Sirius' hand the entire time, waiting for her to clear him. She's glad he managed to wake up, in any case.
Soon enough he'll stalk off to find Remus. Until then, he'll be right here.
