For a long time Regulus's friends don't like Sirius.
He's loud, reckless, and arrogant. He acts first and thinks later, following his heart with little care for the blood it may draw. They're resentful when he runs away and angrier when he tries to reconcile his and Regulus's relationship. And even when Regulus begins to forgive him, they refuse to.
That is until they realize Sirius has an endless collection of embarrassing stories from Regulus's childhood that he's more then excited to share.
