Drink of Despair
Pain coursed through his whole body. Albus could feel his insides writhing and burning. Gritting his teeth, he opened his eyes.
He stood in front of him.
For a moment, sheer shock overwhelmed the agony. There he was, the same as Albus had always imagined. Those curly blonde locks framed his handsome face. The familiar roguish grin adorned his lips. But those blue eyes… they no longer twinkled in merry mischief but instead, they held an alien fury.
"No," Albus rasped, stumbling forward. His body suddenly recalled the excruciating pain. He gasped for air as the fire inside him roared fiercer than ever.
The old man kept moving. He clumsily grabbed his shoulders. He shook him. He slapped him. Tears prickled in his eyes. His heartache rivaled his physical torment yet his lover remained unchanged.
"No!" Albus shook his head violently. He closed his eyes, unable to watch anymore.
