Today came too soon.
What did the future mean, anyway? Why was there a past at all? Why wasn't there just now? No day but today. When Remus looked into the future, all he saw was darkness.
Alone.
Sure, Remus had grown accustomed to being alone. He'd been alone for 12 years. But then he had come back, and he didn't think he'd ever be alone again. Sirius had brought him to life again, woken something up deep inside, and made him feel things he hadn't felt in a very long time. And they had been happy.
Remus could still fell Sirius' hair running through his fingers, his hands running down his back, his lips pressed against his own, and hear his ragged breathing in his ear.
A light breeze fluttered through the open window, and it was all gone. Sirius had been snatched away from him. Again. Remus locked his chin over his knees, as a single tear escaped and ran down his cheek.
The door creaked open, and a glimmer of bright pink entered his vision. Maybe he wasn't so alone after all.
