Warming
(Harry Potter, James/Sirius, PG-13 for mild angst)
"I don't love you. You know that, right? I'm far too broken for love."
You don't need him to love you. You don't want words in a mouth or on a page, or even the slowing-down inherent in thinking it. Sirius has always evaded description, because beautiful doesn't really touch it and crazy isn't quite right either and delirious suggests he might heal, and as much as anyone knows anything of Sirius, you know that he won't change.
"Shut up. I don't need you to love me. Just… just go on being."
His lips are cold, but warmer than before.
If you leave a review I will love you forever. (Desperate? Moi?)
