If Dominik is paying close attention, he'll notice the mirror Sirius dropped into his pocket has heated up. Strange behaviour for a compact mirror indeed! If he opens it up he will notice the very worried face of a familiar young man. Hopefully any queries he's had will soon be answered.

It was a comfortable warmth on his bare stomach while Dominik lay on his back on Anna's guest bed. The sheets were elaborately expensive and just too much frill and fancy for his tastes. And the mattress just wasn't as nice as his own. Green eyes peer down at the compact as it warms, a single hand flipping it open.

The moment Regulus' face finds his gaze, Dominik sits, face concerned and curious. "Regulus. It's been too long."

Regulus touches fingertips towards the mirror, momentarily blocking most of his face. A ghost of a smile makes its way across his features. "I'm so happy to see you," he whispers. "Are you keeping well?"

[viridis_vir]

He nods while eyelids dance lazily over his gaze. "I am. And I miss you." Sheepish retreat of his face as it lowers. He'll never stop blushing around Regulus. Never. Even as he tries to communicte in simplicity, his cheeks pink up to hear the sound of the other boy's voice. "You?"

[a_royal_star]

"Yes?" He doesn't sound very convincing. "I'm afraid I won't be able to make Christmas, although you don't celebrate it. Maybe New Year. Things have gotten a little...interesting."

Interesting doesn't sound like a good thing.

Dominik bumbles through the portkey, arms hugged to himself over the striped hoodie Anna had bought for him. Shorter brown strays sway in the light breeze, roostering as he stands against it.

The ruins. Plenty of fond memories here. The boy steadies his footing, wobbling on one side. O where, O where could my darling star be?

The darling star is currently sitting in a crouch in the fireplace. That's right, in the fireplace. He makes a 'psst' noise to signal Dominik, greeting him with a little wave.

A smile blasts onto his face, happy and bright and so very relieved. The lanky boy meanders over to the fireplace and leans down, one hand holding onto the mantle. "Should I be hiding, too?"

[a_royal_star]

"S'cold. And maybe, just to be safe. I've checked the area and nobody knows I come here except you and now Sirius. But maybe, to be safe." He gives a little sigh and ushers Dominik closer in a silent plea for cuddles.

(( ♥ sleep sweet, love ))

Another kiss to the boy's brow while gentle fingers comb through the thick of black hair. "All will be as it will be. I just hope what will be will be safe and together."

Dominik offers another careful squeeze before shying into a kiss, letting the taste linger on his tongue before he even thinks of pulling back for air.

"We will be." He fails to add In one shape or form. The dread of harm coming to Dominik has become the sorrow of this possibly being their last moments together. Lingering kisses are bittersweetly accepted.

[viridis_vir]

It's all he can do to simply place the boy beside him in as much comfort as he can at the moment, sharing sweetly loving smiles, petting the warmth of bare skin, nuzzling to reassure his faith in their love. "For now, it's just us."
