"Why the hell did you do that?!"

Sirius screams, spittle flying all over Severus' face. Severus quickly smoothes out his expression, there's no need for Sirius to know how much he's hurt him.

"Now everyone will know that we're-"

"We're what." Severus cuts in, sharply. He should have known better than to get his hopes up. He should have known better than to have believed that he could be anything other than… No. He's not going to go down that path. This is not all his fault. He stares at Sirius' still angry face with a new resolve. He will not take all the blame for this.

"We're nothing!" Sirius yells as he angrily storms away. Severus watches him go, slightly sorrowful but it was all for the better good. He was just using me, Severus thinks to himself. Strangely, it doesn't hurt as sharply as he'd have thought. I must be getting used to this, he thinks. Well, no more! I will not be used anymore, he thinks to himself determinately. No more.

Here it goes again
Put on that deserving tone
and don't forget that this was all your fault.
It's breathing down your neck
you know you've got to let this go.
You're such a wreck and now it starts to show.
