Title: What He Never Wanted
Author: Padfootwolfboy, the one and only
Pairing: RL/SB
Rating: PG
Feedback: Do you really want to see me beg? ;)
Disclaimer: 'Tis all fiction...
Notes: Think me insane, but here 'tis yet another drabble. Deals with death and self-mutilation. Not graphic; not beta'd.

Remus never wanted Sirius to go and Sirius had never wanted to leave. He never wanted the last syllable passed between them to be "bye;" it was too cliché. He never wanted the last physical touch to be a brotherly pat on the shoulder, for he and Sirius were never brothers. Remus never wanted that last he saw of Sirius to be his back as he walked out the door.

That was why he went after him, why he saw him fall into the veil. That was why Remus now lay on the bathroom floor, razor a few inches from his bloody fingertips, reliving the pain over again.
