"Damn it, Harry!" Snape thundered, trying to mask himself with his stern attitude. Yet, his falling tears could not be disguised.
I hung my head as I heard silent sobs wrack his body.
"Don't you care?! Don't you love me?!"
My head snapped up as I stared into his onyx eyes, filled with tears and pain.
"Of course I do. I just- It's just… it hurts.. A lot. And this" I gestured around me. "This just isn't living, anymore. And I'm going to die anyway." I whispered the last part, not wanting to cause him any more pain.
I felt his finger go under my chin and force my head to be level with his.
"Look at me, Harry. You are not going to die. You are going to live and grow old and adopt children and become a father and be my husband until the end of time. You are not going to let this disease, this cancer, steal that and rob you of your life. For Merlin's sake, you're only 23 years old. You have to live!"
With those words, he pressed his lips against mine in a passionate kiss as I ran my hand through his silken hair, black as night and shining like stars.
His lips were soft and smooth, constantly pushing against mine as my tongue tried to memorize every crevice of his mouth. His hand wrapped around my back, rubbing circles and effortlessly calming me down.
My head started to swim and drown like a fish guiding through the dark and treacherous waters. I had to break off the kiss and slowly sink down on the floor, cool and smooth like a solid ocean calming me, while trying not to empty the contents of my stomach.
"Harry? Harry, are you alright?!"
I slowly shook my head and felt the sickness and pain increase by a ten-fold. I could not feel or see anything besides the pain. It masked every part of me, not allowing me to truly live.
"HARRY! Please oh Merlin, no! Please, stay with me."
Sev? Severus where are you? Please help me… please
I felt a warm liquid trickle down my nose and over my lips and with the metallic taste, I soon realized it was blood.
I heard faint whispers that were probably like desperate screams and pleas, yet they were frail and soft to my toned down senses. Before I exited the realm of the living and awake and into that of darkness, I heard one sentence get uttered. Miracle as it be, I heard my love's last words to me. I held them dear as I pocketed it and placed it over my heart, ready to never let them go and repeat those words over and over again, until the end of infinity.
As, I would love him until the end of infinity, never allowing myself to let go.
"I love you, Harry. Live for me."
And I will, Sev. I'll live for you.
