[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Today was a very stressful day. He had sent a note to Rose to meet him up in Diagon Alley and he would then bring her back to his home. Pacing back and forth a breath fell from his lips, wringing his hands. They hadn’t seen each other in almost three weeks – and it was a few days after the moon. He avoided the week right after they met mostly because he wanted to sit on the feelings he had felt after he left her that morning. And the week after only because he didn’t want to interrupt her during her moon times – he was sure if she needed him she would contact him about it and he’d go to her. He just didn’t want to overstep his boundaries.
However, he had started researching a certain thing he had learned from his run-in with her brother – animals were safe around werewolves. In fact, he had procured the dew, leaf, and other ingredients and had made the potion he needed, or well started it. He’d have to work on the leaf for a month, which would be difficult indeed.
Closing his eyes, he looked through the books, checking his watch from time to time. She was a bit late – but that wasn’t unexpected. He just hoped she was coming. Otherwise he’d look like a fool. His left arm strained slightly, the brand-new mark on his arm. It would make him an enemy and some people wouldn’t let him in places with this on his arm – but he didn’t care too much. It was an honor to him. So why was it bothering him so much?

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She was just heading back from a short supply trip, for once Remus not being anywhere in town, goodness; when she was nearly assaulted by an owl that seemed to have flown down from some perch above her. Why not just leave the letter on her-- oh, right. Nothing could get in without her letting it in. Ha, ha, ha. Her brain seemed to be having issues lately. Anywho.
She gave the bird a bit of the pasty she had bought herself ripped open the letter.
She stared at it for several long seconds before appearing on the spot into her living room.
She quickly put away the food and pulling her hair back, she tossed the letter onto the table, open, in case Reg came by looking for her. It would clue him into where she had gone if needed.
She went for her floo and grabbed a handful of the dust, and one the fire was lit, stepped through.
She pulled her hood over her head, glamouring herself slightly as she did so and headed straight for the designated meetup spot.
It'd been three weeks. Lots of things had changed.
Yet, her heart still jumped when he looked at her.
Hell...

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] In another world, he would’ve run to her and swept her off her feet as soon as he saw her, and he felt the urge to do so for some Morgan Freeman-forsaken reason. Or god-forsaken, either way. However, he really hated the attention, and of course, he was a bit afraid that would be going over the line of their relationship. But today he really needed her. He could feel the world falling apart around him. So instead of running towards her and picking her up in a swooping hug, he slowly walked towards her, with his head held high, his eyes glancing around, taking her hand and kissing the back of it.
“I hope you don’t mind me being hasty, but there are many eyes here that don’t like people like me,” Severus said in a whisper and soon turned on the spot apparating away from the alley, and popping in at his house. It was a small place, but he had cleaned it knowing she was coming. He quickly waved his wand and soon two glasses of tea floated out from the kitchen and offered themselves to the pair.
“You look… well.” That was an understatement. “Did something happen?”

And that didn't help either. Hell, hell, hell and a half.
Even with three weeks, that part hadn't changed either! She had been thoroughly 'distracted' with Reg's attention and yet...
She wasn't sure what to do on that, but he soon apparated them away and into a kitchen of... it looked like a dark house. She blinked and looked at him as the tea was handed to her.
She blushed at his question. "Ah, yeah! I found -- I found someone to bunk with for a while. Like, a while, a while. Been on house arrest there for about three weeks. I... didn't realize I was so tired! Wonder what access to a warm bath and a bed can do."
She could feel his next question even as she tried to figure out how to answer it.

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He swallowed. She found someone to bunk with? He looked away for a bit, he did offer his place if she wanted it – but he couldn’t promise unsavory characters coming through. He wondered if she didn’t take him up on that offer for a good reason and this other person because of that reason. “O-Oh yeah?” Why was there a pit in his stomach? They said they wouldn’t have feelings interfere with it – but for some reason he felt… he wasn’t sure what this was, but he thought it could possibly be jealousy. It was like how he felt seeing Lily around Potter.
“Who’s the bunkmate?” Boy, he felt useless. He hoped to the dear lord he didn’t know whoever it was – but also at the same time he felt a bit relieved someone was there taking care of her and it was someone who she was willing to take help from. “I-I mean you don’t have to tell me, that’s overstepping our relationship a bit I think I just –“ He took in a deep breath and bit his lower lip. “I’m curious yeah? You know you have a bed here still anytime you need it right?”

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
And there it was.
Her jaw clenched slightly. She wasn't going to lie, it wasn't fair to him, nor Reg. And he had said no feelings, right?
Why did it feel like that rule had been burned the moment they had touched each other that night?
Fuck.
She was no fool in love, but she might have just found herself in one hell of a problem. It's not like double partners were uncommon. It's just that... well... jealousy was an ugly serpent that she actually hadn't the knowledge to deal with.
Breaking through the tension, however, to show that she wasn't stepping away from him, not in any way shape or form.
"You're not going to believe me, I think, at first."
She lifted her head and pressed a kiss to his jaw, and rubbed her nose against it.
"I know I still have a bed with you, and when I have one available, that door is open to you too."
Or window, or floo...
But inviting him over would have to wait until she had a talk with Regulus first.
Alpha first.
She was distracting herself.
"Regulus Black."
There, she said it.

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He closed his eyes feeling her lips against his jaw and he just quickly stood up and walked a bit away from her. Right now, he needed to sort through these feelings, and her touch was driving him crazy. It just made him not care about anything else but her touch, her happiness, her everything.
Regulus Black. That was the person she was bunking with. But why was it that he felt like… there was something more than just bunking? Was it the way she had said it? Or was it just his paranoid mind getting ahead of him? He needed to find out, or he would go insane, he could feel himself starting to head that way.
“Mhm… Okay.” Of course possibly his best friend out there was the one taking care of Rose. He swallowed. Why? Why didn’t she come to him? He felt so useless. He felt like he was nothing. But he knew that wasn’t what she meant for him. In the end, he could never hate Regulus. “… What exactly is your relationship with him?”

...and the whammy.
God, he was perceptive!
Again, honesty Rose. This is your best course of action.
"Dating, we're dating. It's recent. just before the full moon."
She gave a small smile. "That doesn't mean I don't want to see you too."
Her heart pounded in her chest. There was something in his gaze. "I don't want you to think that I don't care about you. Because I do."

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] What was this feeling in his chest? It felt like someone was tugging at his heart trying to rip it out. Today of all days for him to find out. He was breathing a bit heavily and he stared at her for a moment, almost a pained look in his eyes and he quickly turned away. He ran a hand through his hair and just… quickly started walking away. He grabbed his coat and put it on, heading towards the door.
“I’m sorry I have to go. You should just – just go home.” His voice was a bit hoarse, but his face was completely blank, staring at the door for a moment. Completely blank. Empty. She could see his eyes as he was standing profile to her, but they just looked like voids of nothing. He quickly jerked open the door and starting walking out, walking at a quick pace.

"Wait!"
Panic flooded her senses. Panic he would just walk out of her life. Panic she would never see him again.
She... didn't know how to deal with that. She followed after him, determined.
"Please, Severus." She reached out for his wrist. "I told you I'd be here for you too. Please don't turn away from me. You know I'm not that type of person."
She grabbed his wrist with that strength that seemed not to be apart of her and whirled him around to face her.
"Please," she begged him, her eyes on his.
She didn't want to have to pull the Alpha cards on him, but she would, she wouldn't let him walk away.

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] He froze when she grabbed him, yanking him back and making him face her. The look on his face now was nothing like when he had exited the door. It was one someone might expect on the face of an Azkaban Inmate. “You don’t understand.”
He sniffed and looked away for a moment, before he looked back at her, the utter despair on his pale visage. “Every time I start to care for someone, they’re taken away from me by someone they care for. First Lily because of Potter. Then my mum because of my father. And now – now you and my best friend who’s like a damn brother to me.” He ran his free arm through his hair.
There was something that happened next which he could feel was a gut reaction – it was his brain trying to just end all of this, so he didn’t have to go through the despair he was feeling now, the pain he was feeling – as if someone had taken a knife and cut out his heart. His best friend. He couldn’t do that to Regulus. He just… had to escape. He had to stop this pain no matter what. Even if his moral compass would make him feel the guilt stronger than ever before.
“Let go of me, filthy half-breed mutt.” He attempted to yank himself free.

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
Her grip on his wrist tightened, eyes tightening. She didn't back down, instead, she stepped closed, putting her more into his personal space bubble.
"Stupid!" She shot back. "I know you don't mean that. And I'm not that easily shaken. I'm not weak. I'm not going anywhere, you damn idiot!"
With that same wrist, that same strength, she pulled him back towards her, releasing it, catching his face, and pulling it down towards her lips where she pressed a hard kiss to his lips.
After a moment, she broke away from him, eyes locking with his. "You need me. You need to be shown that there are people who do care about you! Who love you!"
She bit her bottom lip. "I'm not going to let you do this. I get it, you're upset. But, I. Am. Not. Going. Anywhere."

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Out of all the possible reactions, the instant he said it, he began to calculate them, but this was not one of them. He pictured her hating him forever, leaving him like Lily did. His eyes widened as she stepped closer, a look of almost fear on his face. He was not scared of what she would do, but what she wouldn’t do. And then she kissed him and his mind went completely blank, his jaw falling slack and staring even more, but a little less pained.
“Wh-“ He took in a few deep breaths, his lower jaw starting to quiver, staring at her in confusion. He couldn’t seem to be able to complete even a word for several moments allowing snippets to slip through his lips, beginnings of questions, beginnings of things he didn’t even know what he was trying to say. Finally, his eyes slowly closed, and tears began to fall down his face, dripping onto the ground below them, his face lowering so she wouldn’t see him like this. Damn it. Why was it always these times when he couldn’t control his feelings? The times he wanted to control them more than anything else?
“What about – about Regulus then? You can’t – I can’t – I can’t steal his girl,” He swallowed and shook his head really quickly. “You two deserve each other, you’re both fantastic and I’m just – I’m not. I could never, ever, ever, deserve you. Or anyone for that matter. I’m just – All I am is a tool. That’s all I’ll ever be, no matter how much I struggle. A weapon for the Dark Lord to wield. I don’t deserve anything more or less than that. I don’t deserve to have a life. I –“
He swallowed and took his free hand taking her free hand gently in it. “Follow me.”

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
It wasn't the first time she found herself angry with the dark lord. She was really starting to think that perhaps his way was not the way to go after all. That they wouldn't get the results they deserved.
She, her brother, and every werewolf after her.
Severus. Regulus.
Bound to servitude. Bound to fear.
She had learned so much in the last three weeks... and it wasn't just about love, and how far it could go.
She would wait to respond after he showed her what he wanted her to see.

[googlefont=Montserrat:700,700i|Open+Sans:400,400i,700] [attr="class","angelonfire"] [attr="class","aofSidebar"] [attr="class","aofBody"] Severus walked in silence through the area, down a street and then into a graveyard. He led her towards a grave near the center with flowers. The grave looked like it should’ve been larger – as if it was missing half. The name? Probably obvious by now, but it was “Eileen Snape Prince”. It seemed the name Snape was crossed out a few times, though it could obviously be erased completely, it seems he left it there crossed out as a symbol. The other half of the grave had a few stones next to it, pieces likely, which one could make out a “To” but that was about it.
He took out his wand, refreshing the flowers, changing their color and style and making them look alive. He kneeled by the grave and placed his hands behind his head, leaning forward and his breaths became a bit more ragged. His eyes closed tightly, his face facing the ground and his elbows moving together to shield his face, but if one looked closely, they would see tears hitting the ground beneath him.
On the grave, was the answer to why he came here – why he needed her today. The date went from March 24th, 1938 until today, one year ago. “He’s the one who made me into the… monster I am today. The – the weapon, the tool. He filled me with anger and h-hate,” His voice went hoarse as the tears continued to fall and he hid his face. “He took my mother away from me. In a drunken state, he took my mother and – and was trying to bring her somewhere and ended up in a crash. Killed himself and took her with him. I received word last year while I was at school.”
