Regulus sees the hesitation in Remus and he knows he's missing his chance to end things. To get it over with, to make things better for everyone—
—he grimaces, shifting where he sits to glare up at Remus, doing his best to look angry instead of hurt. He fails miserably. His voice is sharper anyway, outright bitter. He's the evil one, after all. "Do it. Kill me, get it over with. You're better off this way, don't make me say it again."
Then Sirius' voice filters toward them and it's his name and he has to do his best not to let out a low sob. He's awake. He's calling his name. Maybe he really will be okay. Sirius sounds confused though and he can use it to his advantage. Even if his brother did tell Remus he'd hurt him, he still doesn't want him to have to watch Regulus try to goad Remus into killing him. "Gēge."
It's soft and thick in his throat, like something syrupy or poisonous. "Go ahead and rest some more, gēge. Everything's fine here. Get some more sleep, yeah? It's been a rough few days, I want you to feel better."
