[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Being lost in your own head was never a good thing. Especially when everyone around you was telling you to do something you weren’t sure about. Then again, if everyone tells you no, and you still want to do it, then you likely have found out that you really do want to do it, even if it goes against all logic. There was a lot going on in the mind of Severus Snape. He had many duties to perform for the Dark Lord, including the scary possibility he had said he would betray the Dark Lord if someone he loved was threatened. To be fair, he had even surprised himself when he said that. But whether or not this went a certain way, he was pretty sure she would always fall into that category. Just like Lily.
Severus made his way into he room he had rented out from the muggle owners and paced a bit. He was a little early, but that was possibly because of his nerves. Even now he wasn’t completely sure what he wanted. This week had been… interesting. He had sorted through his feelings, though he had mostly been alone. He still had talked to people he considered to have good judgement – and he even had gone to St. Mungo’s after he fended off three Order members, and barely escaped. He finally sat down and ordered himself his favorite sandwich – ham and cheese. Simple, but he preferred things simple, as opposed to emotions. Emotions were dumb and complicated.

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends. She made a point to stay in the Leaky Cauldron last night so she wouldn't look so worse for wear when she showed up today. Not wanting to show weakness. She was a fighter, damn it. She'd been on the run since graduation. Those three weeks had not made her soft! She had made an attempt to look presentable for him. She had everything on her, in her old school bag, of course. She could already feel her magic draining for having to carry so much around again, but such is the life of a wanderer. She entered the muggle restaurant, a quick notice-me-not charm cast on herself in case any of the patrons were here last week, and swept into the back room, where he told her he would be at. Disabling the spell, she slipped into the chair across from him. |

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Severus stared as she sat down, not just because he was happy that she showed, but also because hot damn. Was she trying to get him in the sack again? Boy, this was going to be interesting. Sev set his sandwich down and took a sip of his tea. He cleared his throat and opened his mouth to speak, but words didn’t seem to want to fall from his lips, at least for a moment. When he finally gathered himself up, he sighed and rubbed his forehead.
“What do you want? With us. Before I go and do anything, I want to know what you want. Do you want to be friends? Lovers? Friends with Benefits? Acquaintances?” In a way, he was asking this so he had the control, because he needed to have control over things in his life. He wanted to be able to control this thing, and he knew it was unfair to her. To take the control away. But his eyes were pleading as if asking her to give him control over this one decision between them.

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She quirked a sad smile at him, her head lifting.
"You're very kind, asking me that. I have no right to be wanting anything from you."
Her lips pressed together as she tilted her head at him. "But, being honest; I want you to give us a chance. I knew that seems really stupid to say after what I've just done... but... Lupins are shit liars."
She gave him a small smile, before dropping her eyes again.
"But I'll take whatever you'll give me. I... at the base of it... don't want you out of my life."

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He bit his lower lip and looked away for a moment, standing up and leaning against the table next to her, body facing away from the table. “You have every right to state what you want. It isn’t a kindness to be offered to speak your mind.” He shook his head and sighed, looking towards the wall for a moment.
“I won’t lie, it hurt. A lot.” But then again, who out there is willing to give you a chance? He didn’t want to feel hurt like this again though. Could he trust her to not do it again? “We would need ground rules. We will never lie to one another. If we cannot say the truth, then you’ll say that you can’t talk about it. But never lie.” That wouldn’t be hard for him to do. However… he needed to add a little bit to that. “When I say lie, I don’t mean just blatant lies, something untrue. If you say something hoping for me to believe what is untrue, then that too is a lie. The same would go for me. Every rule we have would go both ways… And we can ask for any rule. I would hope we needn’t many, but… at least for now, until… I know for sure… that we can… and that this won’t happen again… I know you would never mean to do it again, but it still can because the world is cruel…”
He paused. Rambling. He needed to stop talking and think about what he wanted to say. “What I’m trying to say is these are just rules to protect both us until we can learn from each other a bit, and become more connected after this… shitstorm that happened.”

She nodded, wincing.
Ground rules he said. More like 'have some fucking morals, Rose. Where the fuck did all those go?'
She looked to him, heart hammering as he stood near her. She itched to touch him, but kept her hands to herself.
Ground rules. Reminders of how much she hurt not only him, but Regulus. Pushed Regulus further into the Dark Lords hands.
Was this her retribution? A second chance?
"I... still."
A breath. "I agree with that. I'll also answer any question you have of me. Put it out on the table now."

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He smiled a bit and looked to her, his dark eyes almost sparkling. Oh, wait, that was because there were tears that were threatening to fall. He held a hand up to his chest and quickly closed his eyes, blinking away the tears and enjoying the darkness it brought even if just for a moment. This was his second chance. After fucking up so badly. Perhaps they deserved each other, both fuckups in their own right. No, she was still way better than he could ever be.
“The only thing I need to know from you now is… Do you love me?” Because in the end, that was what mattered. That’s all that mattered when he talked to Lily as well. Well, it actually more mattered if he loved her. Because he would do anything for both these girls. He knew Lily for much longer than he had Rose, but… he was afraid he had blown up that bridge with Lily.

She did reach out to him then, unable to resist anymore. But it was only a slightly touch, fingertips to the top of his hand, enought to draw his attention, his eyes to her as she lifted her gaze to him once more.
He would find her eyes were filled with tears as well, unlike his, however, hers fell when she blinked, and she sniffed heavily.
"I do, I love you, I do."
She smiles.

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He smiled, his eyes glancing towards her fingers on the back of his hand. A ghost of a touch, just barely anything, but he could feel it as strongly as anything else. Perhaps it was because he longed for a touch of any sort, or because of the fact they had gone through a seriously shitty situation. Was he a fool for doing this? Was he a fool for letting her in again? Or was Regulus a fool for letting her go?
Nodding he quickly took her hand in his and leaned in pressing a kiss to her cheek. “You can choose whatever you want to do. But I have a bed for you at my place, either with me or separate. Unfortunately I don’t think I can fund your organization and get you your own place, and I don’t… think that would be smart given everything that happened anyways. No matter what happens, you’ll have a home with me. Even… if in the unlikely event something happens between us and we’re apart, you will be able to come here no matter. I mean it.”

She shook her head, a scoff of a laugh. "I... learned my lesson with that before. A-and don't worry about the organization. I'll... I'll figure it out my own, someday. Though, moral support... should be safe enough, and appreciated."
She seems to be thinking about it. "I suppose this is where I turn it around on you. What do you want? Do you want me to stay with you? Would you rather me not?"
A slight smile, "I don't want to do anything you don't want me to do."
She squeezes his hand. "B... but I thank you."

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He shook his head. “No, no I can still fund it. Under the original proposal, of course. No feelings behind it. Pure business. I was meaning more of the whole ‘getting you your own place’ thing. I wouldn’t want you to feel indebted to me for that. And we’ll even sign contracts with the foundation if you want. I want to fund it, not because you’re running it. But because I think it’s something that is needed.” And partially swayed because you’re running it, but that didn’t matter. If it kept more of them to be more like Rose and Remus, well, that would be safer for everyone. They didn’t need anymore Fenrirs.
Sev sucked in a breath and nodded. He swallowed thickly and looked to her with his eyes big. “I want… to go slow. But I do want… more with you. I want to do this properly. Give you the respect and time you need to recover… from him, while being there for you. I, too, need to deal with my feelings regarding him. I have my own duties to attend to as well. I’ve… waited to talk to Dumbledore about the job, because then… he’ll think I was begrudgingly accepting it, and may be more willing to give me what I want.” He bit his lower lip and looked down at his lap as he leaned against the table, half sitting on it. “Will you stay with me?”

"...Oh." A few moments of silence. "Oh!"
Boy her mind had processed that slowly. Another squeeze of his hand and she was smiling again. "I see now.... again, thank you. I'll... make sure to get to work on that, again. I... kinda put it to the back burner... with everything."
She grinned at him, a tiny spark of herself back in her expressions. "Slow. I... I can do that."
Again, a squeeze of his hand. "Your side, your heart, your bed. Where ever you want me, I'll stay."

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He nodded. “In business, it is always good for all those involved to have a clear head. Just contact me with what you need and when and I’ll do what I can to provide it.”
Slow. She could do that? Was she sure about that? Either way he couldn’t help but grin, seeing that spark in her expression come back. He missed that. He had been in America for so long around idiots. He was glad to be back home, even if that meant Regulus and he were no longer on speaking terms. Just in general he felt more comfortable here. Like he belonged. The Americans were judgmental and always wanted to hear him speak for some reason. Apparently, his accent was ‘funny’.
“Remember, slow. However, wherever you want to be, I’ll be happy that you are satisfied. It is completely and totally up to you.”

She couldn't help but be slow on the uptake of some things, as she was trying to process thoughts more carefully.
She chuckles at him, shaking her head. "You say it's entirely up to me, but it's also your call. You are in charge here. I know I can voice my opinons, wants, whatever... but you're the one steering."
She lets out a bark of a laugh.
"I'm... just happy not being alone."

This is a partnership, Rose. We both control this car. It’s like… I might be at the steering wheel, but you’re at the breaks and gas pedal. Equal parts, equal responsibility.”
Taking in a deep breath he squeezed her hand tightly and then quickly leaned down to hug her. “Then you don’t have to be. Never again.” He knew how lonely felt, and boy, he didn’t want her to feel that. And he didn’t want to feel it either. It was the thing that sucked all the life out of him the quickest, even if his attitude said ‘stay away I don’t want to talk to anyone’. It was more of a shield than anything else. Also because most people he hated because they were dumb.
