He stared at her in amazement. The most beautiful witch of their age. Standing before him, placing a gentle hand upon his face. "I was waiting for you." she breathed.
He smiled in wonder. She had chosen him to be the first. The one who's touch would forever be branded
upon her skin. " Don't be afraid, I won't break." she whispered.
He hesitated, she sensed his discomfort. " Do you even want to?" she asked in a hurt tone.
His dark eyes searched her green ones. " More than anything."
She cupped his face fully, gazing at him in understanding. He raised his head, gazing at her with all the love he dared show. " Don't disappear." he mumbled.
In a strange and touching moment, he wrapped his arm around her. Her eyes shiny with emotion, he placed fingertips over them, closing them gently.
Swiftly and without hesitation, he kissed her. He kissed her with all the pent up passion he had been holding back all these years. She made no move to escape his demands. She kissed him back just as fiercely. Her dark friend, the one who had known her dreams and fears before anybody else.
He begged Merlin, to never wake from this dream. He ran his hands through her hair. The light turning her hair into flames. Flames, he thrust his hands into and for willingly. He could feel hands sifting through his hair, he relished the feeling and nearly lost all his self-control.
They pulled apart, staring at each other in surprise. Neither had suspected such feelings. She held his hand against her face, savoring the moment a while longer. Both their faces flushed, hearts pounding.
He was not aware that he had so possessively taken hold of her. Numerous strands laid coiled against her face, the rest tumbling down her back in abandon. She had not kept still either, his hair was just as wild as hers. Her hand still had a hold of his.
Her fingers twirled strands of his dark hair, he could see a glint of satisfaction on her pretty face. He smiled in sheer bliss. Her touch on his person had been a dream of his so long. A dream that he had thought would never have existed in reality.
" Lily? We can still be friends right?" he inquired awkwardly. His long nose touching the tip of hers delicately. She unwound the scarf from his neck, wrapping it securely around her own.
"Even if we were too part, you will always be my first kiss, Sev." Lily answered placing a gentle kiss on her scarf and placing it lovingly in his hands.
He watched her leave him, a soft caress as subtle as the wind. She adjusted her hair and replaced her scarf around her neck, her green scarf.
He smiled, tightening his hold on the scarlet and gold one. She turned and he was once more drawn to her eyes. He would never forget those eyes. ' You'll always be a part of my life.' he thought, placing a tender hand on the lips that had tasted Lily's.
The memory dissolved before him, the final flashes of his mortality. Severus used the last of his remaining strength and pulled the boy towards him.
"Look at me," he commanded. In his dying breath, Severus remembered that long ago summer. The woman who had been his first everything. The eyes he would never forget.
He then breathed no more.
