"You're going to try to convince me not to go, aren't you?" Severus asked the young man standing in front of him. Kingsley was a few years younger, but with his height, he looked Severus' equal. Tonight he'd been invited to a very private party, a chance to meet Lord Voldemort himself, a chance to become a Death Eater.

"It's up to you, Sev. You know my views on the subject. I don't understand why you think you need to do this, why you think you need to join him. I'd always hoped I'd been enough for you." Kingsley whispered.

"I wish you could be, I wish I could believe love is enough, but love can be perverted, twisted. It's not enough to save anyone, it wasn't enough to save her, it wasn't enough to protect me then, and it can't be, won't be, enough to save me now. I'm sorry. Lucius has made me an offer, there's power, a power I could never have dreamed of, King."

"You don't have to go. You don't need them, together we could fight him, Severus. We could be a power for the light, imagine, you and me. Your skill with potions, mine with a wand." Severus smirked slightly.

"I can't argue that statement," he commented dryly causing Kingsley to blush slightly, not that one could tell with his dark skin.

"The light is going to win, Severus, don't let the darkness consume you. Don't go. I know Lily hurt you, I had to pick up those pieces... She was one witch, one. Don't let one witch ruin your life, our lives. Don't go tonight. Don't join his forces, please!" Kingsley begged his lover, his best friend, his everything.

"I'm sorry, King. This is about more than me and you, this is about...revenge."

"On Lily Evans?"

"No," Severus whispered his eyes darker than usual. "On the man who made me who I am today, King. Tonight, tonight I will get revenge Tobias Snape, for what he did to my mother, for what he did to me. I know you don't understand, I couldn't ask you to. Join the aurors, King, I know that's what you've always dreamed about. For me, this power, this chance is my dream. Don't wait for me, tonight I will finally become the man I'm meant to be...alone." Severus gave Kingsley one last lingering kiss before disapparating from the room.

"I love you," Kingsley whispered to the empty space wondering if he'd ever see Severus again, if he'd ever be able to save the man he loved.
