Pairing: Regulus Black x Reader
Warning: Fluff
Summary: Just some headcanonâs of Reg
A/N: Redid my account, again. I will remake the James Potter fluff headcanonâs eventually. For now Iâm focused on the love of my life, Regulus Arcturus Black. I also have some more plans for him including Dad Headcanonâs cause we missed out on Reg being a dad and Iâll be forever pissed.
Regulus would play any song on the piano that you asked for. If he didnât know it, heâd learn it.
Regulus would learn to braid your hair for you, and in return, some days he allow you to touch his hair.
Regulus wouldnât become a death eater if you asked, if he already was one, heâd run away with you.
Regulus wouldnât care about his familyâs opinions on you. Especially if you were muggle-born, half-blood or even just a muggle. If he loved you, he loved so fiercely not even his parents could break it.
Regulus would easily become friends with your friends. Quite a charmer this one is.
Regulus would plan some of the best dates. Picnics under the stars, dates to France and even walking the forbidden forest after dark.
Regulus would be super overprotective of you. If someone dare said one bad thing about you, that person would be gone within a minute.
Regulus would buy you whatever you wanted. Even if you didnât necessarily needed it, or ask for it. If he saw you staring at something, it was yours the next minute.
Regulus isnât big on public affection but behind close doors, you are his Queen. Back massages, cuddles, reading to you and making you whatever food or drink youâd like.
Regulus would be a great chef. I mean, this man is great at everything. But his food was quite literally to die for. Heâd often ask as a joke if you would choose his food over him. Youâd say you would and he didnât quite realise you werenât joking. His food was that great.
Regulus loves when you reassure him of your love. Even if you think heâs asleep, it means the world to him.
Regulus, at first, wouldnât be big into saying âI love youâ but after you say it, heâll begin to say it back. Youâd definitely say it first but he may say it when your asleep.
Regulus would be totally soft for you. The only person who could make him laugh, cry, smile, fall off a chair, whatever it is, only you can make him do it.
Regulus would jump in front of a train for you. Heâd do anything to protect you. Your safety is his top priority.
Regulus finds your happiness is the most important thing in the world. Heâd buy you a whole damn cart of kittens if you asked. Thereâs not a thing he wouldnât get for you or do for you if it made you happy.
Regulus would ask you to cut his hair because heâd only ever trust you.
Regulus would take your name if you two got married. Because he wants to end the Black name just as much as Sirius. If you have children, theyâd take your name.
Regulus would definitely buy you a holiday house somewhere like Paris or Orleans. Somewhere in France where you two could spend days doing nothing.
Regulus would definitely build your dream house for you after graduation. He wouldnât even offer to live in it. Heâd build it for you and if you asked, heâd move in.
Regulus would be so happy when you two graduate. Heâd kiss you all over and smile proudly. This man would be super encouraging for everything. Graduation, your first job, getting a house. Whatever it was, heâs your biggest fan.
Regulus would definitely cry to you in the night about all his problems and how much stress heâs under by his parents. You would bake him warm chocolate-chip cookies and give him tea, coffee or hot cocoa. Heâd love you a million for it.
Regulus would comfort you from nightmares and youâd do the same for him. You two would definitely make a deal to be completely honest with each other. No matter what.
Regulus would sneak you into his house whenever his parents were asleep or into the dormitories, so you two could cuddle and kiss. Heâd also sneak over to you.
Regulus would spend hours reading with you. Studying, sleeping, playing the piano and even pranking people.
Regulus would sneak into different classes to spend more time with you. Heâd skip school if you asked.
Regulus absolutely loves holidays such as Halloween or Christmas. Youâd have so much fun decorating and making cookies together. Matching Halloween costumes, and youâd always win the competitions for them.
Regulus would love sleeping on your chest so he could hear your heartbeat and remind himself youâre alive. Youâre here. Youâre real.
Regulus would spend hours talking about stars and astronomy. Youâd patiently listen because it was rare to see him so excited over something.
Regulus would call you all sorts of nicknames. Darling, love, sweetheart, princess, bubs. You would call him things like babe, baby, reg, reggie, my starboy and have cute joking names like heir of slytherin, prince of darkness, his royal highness.
Regulus would only dance with you.

regulus black x reader
-friends with benefits turns south when a certain slytherin realises heâs risked it all for someone who canât give her all.
warnings: guys this is sad đ #angst and the reader is an arse đ«¶. mostly from regulusâ pov, a bit suggestive, so 16+ probably
a/n: guys regulus black brain rot is real and it is destroying my life. i love this man!! i wish he was real!! listen to august by taylor swift while reading this
back when i was living for the hope of it all
scattered pieces of paper, short candles- melted to their base, muggle poetry books and âtiny dancerâ by elton john. this is what regulus thought of when anybody so much as muttered the name ây/n l/nâ.
y/n was his best friend, his only friend for that matter. they were often found pacing libraries and the school grounds late at night- then detention or the headmasters office after school for lurking around after hours. they would read the same books and listen to the same songs, gushing about things that their respective families would deem âwrongâ due to the muggle nature of the content they were discussing.
despite their friendship, regulus had always yearned for something more. between playful smiles and withheld glances, he wanted to say something reminiscent of the romance parts in the muggle books that they read- but that sentiment was much more than words could ever communicate.
instead, it was communicated late at night as they tiptoed through the corridors in heavy sweaters and hushed whispers. regulus had lightly pushed y/n against a wall and kissed her passionately, the action being returned by y/n mere seconds later.
but this didnât mean anything, not to y/n at least.
the next morning the two went back to normal, sitting next to each other in the grand hall and gossiping about other students. when regulus tried to talk to her about it, he was simply brushed off.
later that night they found themselves in y/nâs dorm room- tip toeing around without heavy sweaters but still hushed whispers.
regulus didnât mind, or at least he pretended that he didnât mind. but the summer was finally arriving and their families had a few balls planned out, so they wouldnât be completely deprived of one another.
âi canât believe we wonât get to see each other everyday!â y/n cried dramatically, jumping into regulusâs uniform as they packed their bags.
âitâs only 2 weeks until your familyâs ball, donât worry!â he laughed, pushing y/n off playfully.
y/n shook her head. âyou best not forget about me in those 2 weeksâ she said. regulus gasped, with his hand in his heart. âi would never!â he claimed.
those long two weeks finally came to an end on a warm friday night. y/n was spotted by regulus mere moments after guests were being invited in, as she laid back on a wall in a silk dress with a glass of wine in her hand. âwho said youâre old enough to drink?â he asked, hands on his hips as he walked over.
âcalm down! itâs only juice. i added vodka though,â she chuckled, bringing in regulus for a hug. âi missed youâ she whispered in his ear, sending shivers down his spine. regulus gulped, taking a step back as his cheeks turned red.
âwhere can i get myself some of that juice vodka?â he asked.
âsee that table over there? pour half of whatever and come back to me for the flask, i have two just in caseâ she gestured over to a king dining table, filled with drinks of every kind.
late into the ball, the two were nowhere to be found. hidden in an abandoned guest room, extremely intoxicated and underdressed, regulus and y/n sat against a grey-painted wall and on top of a carpet with a sinister pattern. consumed by fear of the war and a pure yearning for one another, they continued the sullen tradition of their previous year at hogwarts.
âdo you like me?â regulus asked, lighting a cigarette from his suit pocket. y/n crawled over, grabbing one out from his pocket as well and holding it out for him to light it. regulus acknowledged the gesture and lit the cigarette, laying back into the frame of the bed they were sitting on.
âof course i do, reggieâ y/n smiled, taking in the smoke. âif i didnât, i wouldnât be here post-shag smoking in bed with youâ she laughed, resting her head on his shoulder.
âbut what type of like?â he asked, inverting his legs towards his torso slightly. y/n shook her head. âthatâs a pretty loaded questionâ she remarked, closing her eyes.
regulus shook his head confusedly. he blew out the smoke and extended his arm around y/n. âi donât think itâs loaded. i like you more than anyone iâve ever met, thatâs the type of like i like you as⊠if that makes any senseâ he muttered.
âi like you more than anyone else tooâ
a few weeks pass and the noble house of black was hosting their own little gathering, and the l/n family was obviously invited.
the two embraced passionately upon y/nâs arrival, spinning her around like a ballerina in the process. after a shared dance or two, regulus and y/n scurried off to regulusâs bedroom for the rest of the night.
âwhereâs sirius?â y/n asked, tracing her fingers over his bookcase.
âhe left. my parents well⊠you can kind of guess what happened but heâs gone. dick move not saving me either but, whateverâ regulus sighed, laying back into his bed.
âis he staying with james?â y/n asked, laying back with him.
âyeah. iâm guessing heâs happy there. i wish heâd at least write or let me know heâs safe, but he definitely thinks iâm a devout death eater or somethingâ
âi donât think youâre a devout death eaterâ
âi donât think i am eitherâ
the two shared a train carriage upon the beginning of the school year. from the outside of their almost empty room, they could see james and his friends skipping about, sirius catching a glance of his younger brother for the first time in weeks.
he was consumed by his lonliness and pressure from his parents, y/n was the only person who could relieve that. he didnât mind if their relationship was barley a relationship and merely friends with benefits.
he stared at her hair and the way her eyes glisten in the morning sun. he wondered what she was thinking or what she was going to say. he wanted to hear something reassuring for the first time after only hearing screams and shouts from his parents.
âdo you think we should stop fooling around this year?â y/n asked, breaking regulus out of his spell.
âwhy?â
âwe need to start getting serious about our studies and i need to find a suitorâ she said plainly, nestles against the walls of the train carriage.
regulus looked at her, dumbfounded. what did she mean by that?
âis what we have really that disposable?â he asked, trying to find the right words.
âi donât know. i still want to be friends, youâre my favourite personâ
âif i was your favourite person, why are you calling this off right now of all times? why not last year when you knew i was in love with you and you kept me around for whatever sick reasons you have? why now?â regulus whisper-shouted, sitting up straight.
y/n shook her head, placing down the book she was previously reading. âlove? we werenât even in a relationship, regulusâ
âbut we were close enough to snog 5 times a day?â
r/n sighed, standing up. âi knew youâd get like this, youâre far too dependant. i canât handle giant commitments and you know that! why would you do this to me?â
âfuck off, have a good yearâ regulus said as he grabbed his bags and pushed past y/n.
burning toast, stolen glances, venomous stares and obvious avoidance. these are the things that regulus thought of when he heard y/n l/nâs name. as much as he wishes he could hate her, there was no end to his eternal love.

regulus black x reader
- in which your rivalry with regulus manifests into something a little more romantic, despite your mutual âdislikeâ for one another.
warnings: none??? idk bad writing because i havenât written a fic in like 2 years lol. maybe making out. y/n has gender neutral pronouns so go nuts guys!! y/n is a pothead
regulus black never had many friends. during mealtimes he would often sit alone in the library and study, or sit with a crowd of slytherins he kind of knew but didnât like. he was never able to formulate any sort of real connection between himself and someone else- until he was seated next to y/n in his 3rd year potions class.
âhiâ they would mutter, plopping down on their assigned seat next to regulus. he would never respond verbally, but he usually shot her an affirming look. but soon after these muttered hellos and affirming looks, regulus and y/n formed an intense rivalry.
maybe it began when y/n accidentally blew up something important they were being assessed on, or when regulus got them both detention by speaking back to a teacher- but they were officially rivals. this rivalry continued into their 5th year at hogwarts, becoming common knowledge amongst the student body and the teachers.
âwelcome back, 5th years. please take your assigned seats and weâll start with the lesson,â their professor announced. y/n sighed and walked away from their friends who were sitting a few desks in front of them and regulus. they took their seat and set up their side of the desk messily before resting their head in their palm and staring at the board.
regulus shot them a few glances, never alarming them or making it known to anyone else that he was looking. he was just so enchanted by what they got in their last test, not the way their face looked when they were focusing on something.
âwhat are you looking at?â they muttered, looking into regulusâ eyes with arched eyebrows and a hollow expression. âyouâve got something on your face.â he replied confidently, looking back to the board. âwait, where?â they whispered, pulling out a small pocket mirror. ânext to your noseâ regulus whispered back, concerned by how worried y/n was about the state of their face. âthereâs nothing there!â they said as they slammed the pocket mirror closed and adjusted their hair. regulus chuckled, raising his head confidently in response. âwankerâ y/n sighed, rolling their eyes and leaning back into their chair.
later throughout the lesson, y/n reached for an ingredient and was met with a brush of regulusâs hand. they instinctively pulled away, resting the hand in their lap in retaliation. regulus smirked, shooting y/n a teasing glance. âcanât keep your hands off me, canât you?â he laughed, continuing with the practical. âmy hands will be on your face in a second!â the replied, crossing their arms. regulus put a hand to his heart and scoffed. âmy point has been proven. are you in love with me or something?â he asked, earning a judgmental look from y/n. âi mean iâm going to slap youâ they assured him, shaking their head.
âi donât know what youâre talking about. you guys are delusional,â y/n stated confidently in response to their friends concerns about her relationship with regulus. âare you sure? you flirt every potions lessonâŠâ phyra replied as she arched her eyebrows and played with her dinner. y/n shook their head. âew, i would never!â
phyra and y/n walked around the campus for a while, exchanging secrets and sentiments about their classmates. as they tiptoed around the school grounds, y/n made eye-contact with a certain dark haired slytherin, who sent them a sarcastic wink and walked off towards the slytherin common room. y/no face turned a deep red as they pulled phyra away and continued walking. âokay, now youâre flirting outside of class? what is going on?!â she laughed, earning a prolonged âughâ from y/n. ânothing is going on, heâs just being an absolute dickâ they rolled their eyes as they walked alongside their friend. âi think you like him a tad bitâ she whispered playfully, alarming y/n. âdisgusting! i would never!â
looking back, maybe y/n did have some sort of feelings for regulus. something that maybe was a little different than hate or a strong dislike. they couldnât doubt that they were attracted to him, because everyone was. regulus had a strong jawline and confident eyes, it felt as though he was teasing you just by looking at you. y/n knew that this attraction was totally normal! the butterflies they felt whenever they saw him was just the manifestation of their mutual dislike.
regulus, surprisingly, was a little more in touch with his feelings. he was constantly flooded with his own feelings of attraction whenever their eyes met, making him regret even waking up that morning because he knew he would have to deal with these feelings in almost every single class.
âwhat are you doing up?â regulus inquired late at night, leaning up against the walls of the slytherin common room whilst y/n sat on a couch with âthe bell jarâ in one hand and a joint in the other. they shot a worried glance, trying to get rid of the smoke by whacking around the book in the air. ânothing!â
regulus smirked and walked over to where they were sitting, leaning over the frame of the couch and gesturing for the joint. y/n reluctantly handed it to him and sunk deeper into their cardigan. âyou do know you shouldnât smoke insideâ he grinned as he took inside the smoke and released it nonchalantly. âwhere else am i supposed to go?â they responded, closing their book. âoutside?â he replied, taking another hit of the joint. âhonestly, i would love to go outside but itâs colder than the north fucking pole out there!â y/n whisper shouted, gesturing for the joint. regulus chuckled as he took one more hit before passing it back to them.
âso is this what you do in your free time?â regulus inquired, leaning further of the frame of the court. y/n twisted their figure to face regulus. âmore or less, sometimes i donât readâ they replied, pushing back their hair. regulus stared into their eyes, pushing down a warmth in his cheeks. âwhy are you being nice to meâ they asked, resign their head on the top of the touch, close to where regulus was resting his. âyou let me have like, half of that jointâ he replied, smirking slightly. y/n nodded their head.
âyou know youâre pretty right?â he asked plainly, staring deeply into y/nâs eyes. âwhat? is that you or the mary jane talking?â y/n turned red and lifted their head up to turn their face away slightly from regulus. âwhichever you preferâ he responded calmly. y/n anxiously played with their hands, trying to avoid eye contact with regulus. âum, itâs getting lateâŠâ they muttered. regulus perked up, pushing back away from the couch and back to the wall he was leaning up against. ârightâ he affirmed, lifting up his hand slightly in agreement.
y/n picked up her book and handed the rest of the joint to regulus. he shot them a confused look as they reached out their hand to him. âkeep it, i have like 8 moreâ they assured, brushing their hand against his. regulus took it and stuffed it in the pocket of his pants. âi wasnât lying when i said you were prettyâ he assured them, crossing his arms. y/n shook their head, walking back to their dorm room.
regulus pushed back his hair and sighed, making his way back to his down as well. embarrassed by his attempts, he walked over to y/nâs dorm and knocked on their door. soon after knocking, the door opened up to welcome a flustered regulus and a confused y/n. âi like you?â he said with arched brows, holding the door open. âare you sure?â they replied, holding back a vibrant blush. âwhat, do you want me to prove it or something?â he said as his gaze moved away from y/n. y/n shrugged, moving closer towards regulus.
âmaybe i do, maybe i donâtâ they teased, before regulus lifted up their chin and kissed them softly. their eyes closed as their hands rested nearly on his body. he pulled away slowly after, stepping backwards slightly. âum, see you in potions.â he whispered anxiously before scattering way to his own dorm, leaving y/n to stand in the middle of their door frame, extremely confused.
