The Dangers of Pride (one shot)
Regulus Black AU
Request: Combo of two requests- because they are both similar. Set during “today” time period 1. I would like to request where the reader and regulus break up for some dumb reason and Regulus isn’t fully ready to let go of the reader so he starts dating someone new to make her jealous and in an attempt to get her back.
2. Could you write an exes to kind of enemies to lovers? Regulus x Reader broke up for a stupid reason. Maybe she’s a Gryffindor so they’re both too proud to admit that they miss each other and pull this tough act. Their friends keep saying that is obvious they still love each other so they end up confessing their feelings and getting back together.
Parings: Regulus Black x Reader
Rating: Mature

3 ½ weeks…that was how long it had been since Regulus broke up with you over his friend’s objections to the two of you being a couple…stupid reason right? You certainly thought so. For the past few weeks, you had been trying to put on a “brave face” and act like you weren’t falling apart inside. For the most part, you seemed to be fooling most of your friends. It was only your brother Remus that saw through the act and was taking extra care to not come across with an attitude that said “I told you so.”
Remus had been opposed to the relationship from day one. He begged and pleaded with you to date someone else…anyone else. Remus had been worried about Regulus’ cold nature mixed with his nutcase of a family who would most definitely have an issue with you.
Guess he doesn’t have to worry about that now.
You thought as you walked into the Great Hall that morning. Glancing toward the Slytherin table, you sighed seeing Regulus with his new girlfriend Ambrosia Parkinson. The breakup was clearly not causing him too much grief. Regulus had started dating Ambrosia the week after the two of you broke up.
That tells me what he thought of me.
You muttered in your mind as you turned to go sit with your friends. They always seemed to make you feel better. Today there wouldn’t be any expectations.
Everything will be fine…somehow…I am a strong confident woman and do not need any man to make me happy! That sounds believable…I’ll go with that.
What you didn’t see was the way that Regulus was looking after you. You didn’t see the longing and embarrassment in his eyes. Regulus had been kicking himself for the past 3 ½ weeks since the breakup. If he wasn’t so bloody proud he would march right over to you, claim that he was an idiot, and beg for another chance. The Slytherin in Regulus, however, wouldn’t let that happen.
