His Untold Tale
Maybe a oneshot. Maybe not. I honestly have no clue.
Disclaimer: Pretty sure this is not something J.K.'s mind would create. Just me and my hopeless romantic-ness.
A/N: Um, I know I kinda ran away and died from fanfiction. Old news. But I still live and when the spirit moves me, I return. Hope I still have some fans out there.
Not gonna lie, I was watching A Very Potter Sequel and got to Snape's sad flashback song that always makes me cry and I was like…well…this. Enjoy.
Severus wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. Lily jolted forward with a sharp laugh and her hands landed on his chest. Her red locks fell over her face and she turned her head up to meet his gaze. A pair of emerald eyes sparkled up at him just like her smile, and Severus couldn't stop the corner of his lips from pulling up. He moved one hand up to her face and brushed her hair away. Before he put his hand back down, hers was suddenly there, and she held his palm to her cheek. A content moan came from Lily as she closed her eyes and Severus wrapped his free arm tighter around her and pulled her into his chest. She gently laid the side of her head into him and he held her close.
"Severus?" Her voice chimed through the air. He could just feel her warm breath as she breathed.
"Yes, Lily?" Something about just saying her name reminded him that she was really there, in his arms.
She craned her head up to look at him with a grin as bright as a sunrise. Both her hands climbed up to lock behind his neck. She pulled his face and hers closer and set her soft lips against his own. Then, after what was hardly a fraction of a moment, she pulled away again. Severus waited a second later to open his eyes and when he did Lily smiled back at him. "That's all."
Severus chuckled, then locked his hands behind her waist just as she had. "I've never been one for a simple hello." He heard her gasp a giggle as he kissed her. This time, really kissing her. He felt her push into him as their lips moved together. His hands moved up her back. He felt her light fingers down his own. Their tickle made him smile and their lips curled up together. Severus kissed her again. And again. Savoring every touch, every breath.
"Say something."
Lily chuckled, "What?"
Severus shook his head at himself before he told her, "Even that's enough."
With a laugh Lily pulled herself up to him and kissed him once more.
"I love you're voice," he whispered with her lips all but touching his.
"I love you."
There was a calm, peaceful silence. Severus starred at her amazed by her existence.
They both stopped short.
"I'm sorry." Lily's head fell.
"No," he said simply. Severus dipped his head and stole another quick kiss. The moment his lips let go her head fell again. He starred at her in pain a moment. Then took her hand in his, holding it low. He weaved his fingers in between hers and felt her tight grip in reply. With his other hand he held her chin between his thumb and forefinger, gently at first. When she wouldn't look up, he forced her head up. A tear was in her eye that he carefully wiped away with his thumb, then took her other hand. "Don't be."
"I ruined it." The strain in her shaking voice was nearly unbearable. Then a spark appeared in her eyes again, "Try to stay." She was begging him.
Nothing could have hurt him more. There was nothing he wanted more. "I can't...You can't."
She hugged him tightly and he softly kissed her hair. "It's okay," he said with a forced smile he knew she wouldn't buy if she saw.
She stepped away but held both his hands in hers. Lily's dazzling green eyes were the first to go. They were already faded. It hurt him, but in their final moment together he tangled his fingers in her hair and kissed her fiercely. He felt the desperation in her kiss. The pain was so obvious from both of them. He noticed a vague tingle where her hand should have been on his waist.
But it wasn't. Lily wasn't with him anymore. And his hands held nothing but air. The next moment, they were in tight fists. Severus Snape lie alone in his bed and let his tears fall freely.
