Regulus and Remus who find one another when Sirius and James are caught up in each other.
Even though Remus has known them since first year, it feels like they speak a language he doesn’t know. Regulus picks up on it. He’s been watching Sirius and James for ages, jealous he couldn’t have either of them.
Regulus feels bad because he didn’t see Remus at first. His eyes would slide right past him, honing in on his brother and James. Now that he knows him, now that they have being “the second choice” in common, he’s thankful for the companionship.
When Sirius and James are speaking in their language, they look at each other and exchange their own glances. They share books and leave annotations for the other. Regulus comes to possess a couple Moony Sweaters™.
Remus even meets Barty and Evan. He notices that they have a language of their own too.
Remus and Regulus make their own language, and nobody ever really seems to notice. Not Sirius. Not James. Just the two of them.

No wonder Moonwater work so well as friends. Regulus is the type of person to call you a piece of shit, and Remus will elaborate on exactly why you're a piece of shit.
Remus: We should own a library together.
Regulus: We could sell rare books.
Lily: Maybe we could host some classes.
Remus: We could live in a apartment above it.
Lily: That sounds amazing.
Regulus: I call dibs on the master bedroom.
James: Did we just get dumped?
Sirius: Or are we apart of the library?
regulus, making his best man speech at sirius' wedding: statistically, the person you marry is most likely to be the person who kills you
regulus: lupin, ill help you hide the body
Sirius:"regulus stop lying!"
Regulus:"I'M NOT"
James:"give it up Reggie, everyone knows that you love Remus more than you love all the gryffindors combined"
Regulus:"THAT IS SOOOO NOT TRUE"
Regulus:*puts a hand on Remus's shoulder*
Regulus:"I love all of you Remus and not Remus's equally"
Remus,Lily,Dorcas,Regulus, and Pandora have a little book club, and they just meet up and get all pretentious about different books it's honestly amazing. At some point however it did evolve into just monthly gossip and roasting sessions where everyone was telling their relationship drama and getting feedback "For the last time Lupun I don't wanna hear about you and my brother fucking". "Dorcas, I think you should stay prioritising yourself and expressing your desires to Marlene."No, Pandora, I understand where you're coming from, but I think you should break up with him already." Said partners have tried multiple times to overhear on these conversations, and they always end up getting found out and hexed
Remus loves horror movies and he tried watching them with Sirius, but Sirius is a scaredy little bitch and always ends up ruining the movie, so now Remus has movie nights with Regulus where they just watch the most unhinged, terrifying shit. Sometimes, Sirius or James will attempt to sit with them and just watch what they're watching, but they always end up living the room absolutely horrified ("Bloody hell James our boyfriends are psychopaths")
MoonWater fic (could be romantic or platonic) where Regulus' animagus is a little black lamb instead of a cat and Moony, the giant wolf, is very protective of this adorable little lamb who follows him around every full moon.
Does anyone else see the vision?
the difference between remus and regulus:
james: would you still love me if i was a worm?
regulus: no
and
sirius: would you still love me if i was a worm?
remus: you are a worm tho
Remus: You are supposed to bang your fist against mine.
Regulus: Why?
Remus: I am told it is a widely accepted gesture for mutual success.
Sirius:
Sirius: I love it when you two impersonate normal people.
